In the interactions I\u2019ve had with my boss, coworkers, and other supervisors, I have been able to see different styles of leadership firsthand. My boss has a sort of laissez-faire style of leadership. She only seems to reach out when she has a new assignment for us to do and needs to teach us how to do it so we don\u2019t mess up. Otherwise, we don\u2019t seem to interact much within the day. There are times where we don\u2019t interact at all throughout the day outside of me saying good morning or goodbye when she arrives and when I leave work. However, whenever I do interact with her, she is very helpful. She always is able to assist me with whatever questions I have and, even if she doesn\u2019t have time in that very moment, she makes sure to get back with me when she can.<\/p>\n
This style of leadership doesn\u2019t bother me. I\u2019m a very laid-back person and as long as I know what I need to do, I have no problems putting my head down and getting the work done. However, my coworker is extremely irritated by her leadership style. She prefers a more hands-on style of leadership to ensure that everything is completed efficiently and to the highest standard. It seems she would prefer a transformational leader who is there to not only help her finish her tasks, but help her develop into a more prepared and well-rounded young adult. I also want to become more well-rounded, but I don\u2019t view a high leader involvement as necessary to my development. It should be very interesting to see how our relationships develop over the next couple of weeks at the FDA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
