Collaborative Leadership Reflection

I am feeling that my leadership style is collaborative. It means that I am willing to hear and accommodate the inputs and feedback from my team member. My decision-making process is started with the brainstorming, discussion and idea generation from all team members, to make sure that everyone in the team is aware and contributes to the decision process. I also always encourage the team member to speak up and provide any ideas or feedback during the decision-making process. In the end, I will feel that my final decision would be a team decision, so everyone in the team will be honored. I believe that the involvement is the key success factor of the teamwork. In the simulation of Matterhorn Health, I collaborated with all the people in the organization and considered their ideas or point of view in making my decisions.

I am also feeling that I am the doubtful leader.

I am feeling that sometimes I am not the person with a strong position and easy to change my mind because I tried to accommodate everyone’s view or feedback. I believe that this condition is the effects of my collaborative leadership style. In the simulation of Matterhorn Health, I considered all of the ideas, information, and feedbacks from all the people in the organization, I also have made some changes on my decision. In the beginning of the decision on the cause of the inaccurate readings of the GlucoGauge, I assumed that the problem was the misuse of the devices. After considering the input from the persons in the Matterhorn Health, I changed my mind by assessing that the cause of the inaccurate reading of the devices was a device

malfunction.
