Part 1

Directions: thoughtfully respond to the following:

  • Which contemporary leadership style (transactional, transformational, LMX, Authentic, Servant) is your favorite and what about it do you like?
  • Which style would you most desire in a manager?
  • How would you describe your personal leadership style?

Part 2: Rate your LMX as both a follower and leader. For your follower role, think of a manager you work with or leader that you know. In your leader role, think of your experience leading in a work, school or other setting. Record your responses and at the bottom, write your score for both.

Scoring Interpretation

Although the LMX 7 is most commonly used by researchers to explore theoretical questions, you can also use it to analyze your own leadership style. You can interpret your LMX 7 scores using the following guidelines: very high  30–35, high  25–29, moderate  20–24, low  15–19, and very low  714. Scores in the upper ranges indicate stronger, higher-quality leader–member exchanges (e.g., in-group members), whereas scores in the lower ranges indicate exchanges of lesser quality (e.g., out-group members).
