It basically measures my leadership based on seven factors that are related to transformational leadership. After calculating the sum of responses for all seven factors, my leadership style as follows: The first factor, idealize influence which is measured by having a transformational leader who acts in a certain way which results in being the role models for the individuals around him. For this factor, my score is 10. The second factor is the inspirational motivation which indicates to the level of inspiration that leader would have.

reflect the leadership aspects associated with me. This kind of questionnaire is effective because it helps to think about what kind of a leader I’m or what kind of a leader others sees me. The results range of high factors of; idealize influence; inspirational motivation; individualized consideration; contingent reward. Other factors range in moderation as Intellectual stimulation; management of expectation; laissez Faire. These ranges are advantages that enhance the leader abilities by focusing on the strength and make the best of them and at the same time trying to use the weaker traits to improve himself and balance the interest of his followers. It gives the leader a broad set of perspectives from the people who interact with. This is important since transformational leadership is an approach to leading that focuses on motivation, performance!and how the behaviors are being perceived. With this, my strategy as a leader can be developed based on the factor results and determinations of my leadership abilities. It also provides a vision that transforms the
