Individual Differences
Session 3 of HBA1 LPO Course
Pre-Session
Definition of Personality.
There are many different kinds of Personality Typologies. In LPO we will focus on the HEXACO Model.
Personality is just a tendency, but strong situational cues or intentional willpower can alter whether personality can dictate our behavior. For example, even introverts can network at events because they understand networking is important.
Questions to think about:
- Do your traits help or hinder your efforts to lead a team?
- How can you be more intentional to overcome your disadvantaging personality traits?

Introducing a quote: Quote - Followership and Leadership
Self-Awareness
You ever look at a conflict or problem and say “wait that’s so easy” but they’re like “no you don’t understand AHH”. They’re too close to the problem, and you’re not emotionally connected, so self-awareness is the most important skill for leaders to develop.
