Professional Growth Plan
Professional Growth Plan

In addition, I believe it is important to respect everyone's emotions and values. As a results, I believe I am best suited to a transformational leadership style. According to Northouse (2012). "Transformational leadership gives more attention to the charismatic and affective elements of leadership": (p. 185).
