Common characteristics of disjunctive leaders
Every individual knows what leadership is, but very few individuals understand what it means. Disjunctive leadership was evident in British politics by the Prime ministerial leadership. Disjunctive leaders share common characteristics such as engaging in policy experimentation; they are capable of success. In most cases, these types of leaders acknowledge that they often receive little credit for their concrete achievements. Byrne, C., Randall, N., & Thomaston, 2020).
President Trump has exhibited traits of disjunctive leaders in his administration. For instance, President Trump has a deficient interpersonal sensitivity trait and doesn’t shy away from confronting other people. Also, he is highly interested and has a lot of big imagination and all sorts of ideas when it comes to problem-solving. When it came to its implementation of policies such as foreign issues, the president was very much engaging. For instance, in tackling the Covid-19 crisis in the United States of America, people gave little credit to the president’s measures to combat the pandemic. Some additional characteristics that I have as a disjunctive leader include; I am always focused on attaining success and also engage other people in discussions before solving specific problems.
