Personal Information

LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT OUTCOMES

Bolman & Deal Leadership Framework Assessment (2025)

Leadership Style Profile:
I lead primarily through the Structural Frame (clear frameworks, defined roles, process optimization) with strong secondary capability in the Human Resources Frame (relationship-building, team development, authentic communication). This approach emphasizes establishing clarity and trust as the foundation for organizational effectiveness and team engagement.

Key Self-Discoveries:

  • Influence through clarity: I establish transparent processes, defined roles, and organizational systems that reduce ambiguity and enable confident execution
  • Trust-based leadership: I build loyalty and engagement through consistent follow-through, active listening, and genuine investment in people's development
  • Structural thinking: I naturally identify process improvements, efficiency gains, and organizational alignment opportunities
  • Relationship focus: Beyond systems, I prioritize understanding individual needs and adapting accordingly—knowing that compliance comes from authority, but commitment comes from genuine relationship

Development Opportunities & Current Focus:

  • Expanding Political Frame capability: Learning to leverage informal networks, coalitions, and negotiation more deliberately for greater influence without compromising authenticity
  • Developing Symbolic Frame strength: Building ability to use storytelling, vision, and meaning-making to inspire and mobilize teams—moving beyond "explaining the plan" to "painting the bigger picture"

Leadership Philosophy:
I influence through the intersection of structural clarity and authentic relationships. Rather than relying on positional authority alone, I create frameworks that empower people, then reinforce those systems with listening, transparency, and genuine care for team development. My goal is engagement, not just compliance—and I'm actively expanding my leadership range to include more political and symbolic influence dimensions.

This assessment reinforced that "leadership is influence" (as Stacey Hanke emphasizes), and that consistency and authenticity matter more than charisma—influence is built "Monday to Monday" through small, deliberate actions.
