7: Leadership Scenarios

 

Aim: You will match potential leaders with a variety of scenarios using what you have learned about archetypes. 

Instructions 
This activity is split into three parts. 

Part one 
First, you should spend some time reading through these “leader profiles” and match each leader to an archetype, based on the information given. Remember, some people may fit into more than one archetype, however, you should choose the one you feel is most prominent. You should also write notes explaining your choices. 

Part two 
Now, consider the following scenarios and select who would the best leader in each situation.

  1. Someone leading an outdoor training event
  2. Someone in a local council to implement change after cuts and redundancies
  3. Someone to lead a start up company through its first year
  4. Someone working with a new group of trainees
  5. Someone to turn around a company that has failed due to poor management
  6. Someone to coach two members of staff through a disputed issue


Again, you should include notes to explain your decisions. 

Part three 
Finally, you should think about your own leadership style and archetype. Explain which one you most associate with and why. Think about similar leadership scenarios you may have faced in your own professional career. Reflect on your archetype qualities and how they helped or hindered your ability to deal effectively with the situation. Write up your notes of no more than 500 words.
