NR 534 Week 2 Assignment; Advanced Communication in Systems Leadership..

Communication truly is a two-part process that allows each participant to exchange information, feelings, thoughts, ideas, news, and the opportunity to share meaning. This paper will examine leadership style and personality profiles. It will also show the styles and profiles are expressly applied in advanced communication situations. My approach to this paper began with an analysis of my leadership style and personality profile. Determining my style of leadership began with the completion of two questionnaires: The Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid, and The Jung Typology Test. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to reflect on past communication practices, apply the newly identified personality profile and leadership style to explore how new communication skills can be applied to these new developments. This paper will also include a discussion of strategies that can be applied to enhance communication ensuring that the message sent is both well received and understood. Leadership Profile The Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid is a matrix that characterizes leaders based on two dimensions, the concern for people and the concern for results. After drawing a horizontal line from the people score and another to the score, the lines intersected at the top right box. This indicated to me that I am a team leader. I encourage my team to reach their goals and I am a resource agent for them. I also continue strengthening my team members through team-building exercises while encouraging every member to be effective in their varying roles. The Humanmetric Jung/Meyers Typology test determines that people are characterized based on four different personality types. These types are Extraverted (E) vs. Introverted (I), Sensing (S) vs. iNtuition (N), Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F), and Judging (J) (25%), iNtuitive (22%), Feeling (37%), Judging (44%) = ENFJ. ENFJ indicates a personality which is energized by time spent with others (Extraverted), one who focuses more on ideas and concepts rather than facts and details (iNtuitive), who makes decisions based on feelings and values (Feeling), and who prefers to be a planner and organizer rather than spontaneous and flexible (Judging). ENFJs have enormous power to guide others with their impressive interpersonal skills (Belrhiti et al., 2018). This concept seems to fit me rather well. I am generally a catalyst for others to grow and I tend to persuade them to always become their best selves. One of the traits of the ENFJ is being tuned into the needs of others while being especially aware of what matters most to others even when it involves facts and details. I must admit the facts and details are also very important to me. Being optimistic and forward-thinking, however, I tend to ordinarily seek opportunities to improve the working environment of staffers. Ensuring that patients are well cared for is an everyday goal. As a team leader, it is not difficult for me to guide and direct staffers primarily because I know each of their weaknesses and strengths. It is also not too difficult to give instructions or assign tasks to accomplish desired
