Instructions
Think of all the different people with whom you have ever worked - in jobs, in social clubs, in student projects, or whatever. Next, think of the one person with whom you could work least well - that is, the person with whom you had the most difficulty getting a job done. This is the one person - a peer, boss, or subordinate - with whom you would least want to work. Describe this person by circling numbers at the appropriate points on the following pairs of bipolar adjectives. Work rapidly. There are no right or wrong answers.
Interpretation
The LPC scale was developed by Fred Fiedler to identify a person's dominant leadership style. Fiedler believes that this style is a relatively fixed part of one's personality and is therefore difficult to change. This leads Fiedler to this contingency views, which suggest that the key to leadership success is finding (or creating) good "matches" between style and situation. If your score is 73 or above, you are a "relationship-motivated" leader; if your score is 64 and below, you are considered a "task-motivated" leader. If your score falls between 65 and 72, Fiedler leaves it up to you to determine which leadership style is most like yours.
Reflection
Provide summary results of your scores and a discussion of what they mean to you and implications for your management skills.  Use an outside source (article, news article, blog, etc., just not Wikipedia) to explain the difference between a "relationship-motivated" versus "task-motivated" leader. How does the type of leader you are impact your work in a group or team? Make sure to use a specific example in your answer.
