The Behavioral Model of Leadership [WLOs: 2, 3] [CLOs: 2, 3, 4, 6]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 4 of the  Northouse  (2019) text describing the behavioral model of leadership and complete the Leadership Behavior Questionnaire at the end of the chapter. As you complete the questionnaire, choose answers that relate to how you typically behave in a workplace environment, as opposed to in a personal or social situation.

In your initial post of at least 300 words in length and referencing at least two required sources,

· Discuss what your questionnaire results mean in terms of your inclination to focus more on tasks or on relationship matters.

· Explain what your understanding of the behavioral model of leadership tells you about the types of workplace situations that are most comfortable for you and those situations in which you display the strongest leadership.

· Identify the types of situations in which you might be less effective as a leader. Conceptualize how you might change your behavior to be a more effective leader.
