Section 2: Lead and support innovation in your
organisation
Use the work you completed in Section 1 of your Project Portfolio and if relevant, the additional
information in the Simulation Pack to help you complete this section.
1 Assess your personal leadership style, including:
1.1 Using an appropriate tool to assess your leadership style (e.g.

Https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/leadership-style-quiz.htm)
1.2 A description of your leadership style
In democratic leadership, often referred to as participatory leadership or shared leadership, members of

the group take an active role in the decision-making process. This style of leadership goes by a
few different names. This kind of leadership is applicable to a wide range of organisations, such
as private businesses, educational institutions, and even the government.
1.3 An explanation how your leadership style already models (or should be improved to
model) positive innovative thinking and practice.
Note: Attach proof of your leadership style assessment to this section of your portfolio.
Since members of the group are encouraged to speak their minds and contribute their perspectives,
democratic leadership may result in improved ideas and more original approaches to resolving
problems. Additionally, members of a group are more committed in and dedicated to the projects
being pursued, which makes them more likely to care about the results. According to studies on
different types of leadership, democratic leadership is associated with increased levels of productivity
among group members.
