Leadership Development Management

Question: Discuss about the Leadership Development Management. Answer: Introduction Least preferred co-worker (LPC) can be of two types that is low LPC and high LPC. The low LPC indicates a task oriented leaders and the high LPC indicates a relationship oriented leaders (Dessler, 2013). Thus this concept helps in effective leadership based on the situation. Analysis of LPC In this provided case study, there are 16 questions and each have a set of numbers from 1 8 and based on the preference one have to answer. As a personal banker and a leader of my team of bankers, I answered all the questions by highlighting the preferred option by keeping in mind an individual with whom I had the most difficulty in getting a job done. I marked 4 for unpleasant, 4 for friendly, 3 for rejecting, 5 for helpful, 5 for unenthusiastic, 6 for relaxed, 3 for close, 1 for cold, 6 for uncooperative, 3 for hostile, 1 for boring. For the rest of the answers, I answered 5 for quarrelsome, 4 for hesitant, 7 for efficient, 2 for gloomy and 2 for guarded. By adding these results, it gives a total of 61. This total indicates that I am a leader who belongs to the intermediate range of both relationship oriented and task oriented leader. Conclusion Therefore, it can be said that this LPC analysis helps me to understand myself as a leader. This will help me to measure the effectiveness of the performance of my team of bankers in order to succeed. This analysis will also help in understanding prescriptive, expertise and research, identification of perfect leader for a job and also in maintaining flexibility (Burns, 2012). References Burns, J.
