Task and Interpersonal Relationship Leadership

[@orgcomm]

Where are your strengths? Mostly task? Mostly relationship? A little of both?

Hi! I’m currently studying Public Administration and i have a report regarding leadership and Instruments of leadership but I can’t find any particular subject regarding instruments of leadership do you have any reference that i can look into? Thank you so much!

I'm not sure what *_instruments of leadership_* means. I'd ask your teacher for more specifics or some examples of what that would look like.

Organizational Communication Channel. I did actually asked her sir she just replied to me just now as well. “instruments or we can call them tools of leadership are those mechanisms available to administrators particularly chief executives like President Rodrigo Duterte (PRRD) or a mayor in a locality that will help them in their execution of laws and tasks as administrators. This includes support of legislature , policy initiatives, and emergency powers.”

Thanks Alex, I’m going to take a risk here and give a very personal response publicly on youtube. The thing that concerns me is the dichotomy between these two lists or styles, and is the ideals middle ground or is it all contextual and contingent on defining the situation. I have had. An experience of a highly intelligent person playing silly/ cruel psychological games in the office right next door to me, throwing just such lists in front of me and purposely closing the door , literally to emphasise a point. Unfortunately my personal experience up till that point had left me only being able to focus on tasks and I was punished for this in many ways. My personal needs and feelings have been so abused/ neglected that I now have difficulty caring at all about other people’s “ needs” or desires and in fact the price I’ve paid for deciding to focus on tasks , because as far as I can see and my personal experience is that the first list has been the dominant leadership style for quite sometime and it is certainly how I have been bought up as well. Pretty proxy really but I would not want to go to far in the opposite direction either.

Thank you for sharing, Lisa. The lists are not meant to be opposites or a dichotomy. Some people lean toward task and other toward relationship but many people are strong in both (other people are weak in both). It's true that we sometimes don't all work in ideal context and cultures. The list of task and relationship skills is meant to be a tool for our own development. So, we should take charge of our own development.

I wouldn't go that far but thank you for your encouragement. :-)
