What is the critical thinking analysis, and how can it be enhanced the analysis by providing more specific examples that illustrate how each component contributes to overall effectiveness? My results in "Self$-$awareness" from the Authentic Leadership assessment and "Participative style" from the Path$-$Goal Leadership framework reveal a leadership approach characterized by introspection and collaborative decision$-$making. Self$-$awareness is increasingly recognized as foundational to effective leadership $($Avolio & Gardner $2005),$ enabling leaders to understand their impact on others and make conscious choices about their leadership behaviours. Internalizing a moral perspective could be strengthened, particularly in articulating one's core values when facing the competing interests of stakeholders in ethically complex situations. My LMX$-7$ scores confirm this, showing that I typically cultivate excellent exchange relationships with team members instead of upholding rigid hierarchical distinctions. Some variability in LMX scores suggests potential favouritism or inconsistent relationship development.
