Leadership Self-Assessment Quiz 4-1
This quiz assesses task-oriented behaviors and attitudes of a trustworthy leader. DuBrin (2016) states that task-related means that "behavior, attitude, or skill focuses more on the task to be performed "(DuBrin, 2016, p. 112). A task-oriented leader focuses on non-interpersonal leadership attitudes in order to accomplish results. Such as, "1. Adaptability to the situation 2. Direction setting 3. High performance standards 4. Concentrating on strengths of group members 5. Risk taking and execution of plans 6. Hands-on guidance and feedback 7. Ability to ask tough questions 8. Organizing for collaboration" (p. 112-115).

DuBrin (2016), states that situational leadership explains "how to match leadership style to the capabilities of group members on a given task " (p.155). So, in other words, as a team leader of the hygiene department, it's important to adjust my leadership style depending upon how developed the followers are in certain situations. Which makes sense because there are certain members on the team that do not need much supervision depending on the task, and there are others who need more support and guidance. I believe that it is important when delegating a task, that the task fits the person. And the best way to know what fits the person is to ask them personally. By asking them personally, I'm not using my own idea or
