The LSI is used as a tool to strengthen the behavioral and thinking styles of the individual so that he/she can come out with their optimum performance and prove more effective. The LSI measures self image of 12 different thinking styles categorized into three dimensions: Constructive styles; passive/ defensive styles and aggressive/ defensive styles. My LSI chart can be interpreted as follows; “Primary” and “Backup” Thinking Styles Primary thinking style is the one which drives the basic functioning styles of an individual while the backup thinking style provides valuable support. As per the LSI illustration I am the strongest in the category of passive/ defensive styles, followed by aggressive defensive styles. The traits in the passive/ defensive style are; Avoidance, Dependent, Conventional and Approval.

Management therefore involves a coordinated approach taking care of all the factors affecting the business operations. Companies and organizations are made for people and by the people, and obviously their effectiveness depends on the behavior and performance of the people running these companies. It is therefore quite logical to say that Human Resource Management is a very crucial and an integral part of any organization. Five functions of management as stated in our textbook: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. Some of my personal styles which affect my style of management are; Humanistic encouraging My percentile score on this count indicate that there are only 44 percent of people who have scored below 29. That is one area which requires to be looked into because, motivating the people around forms a key component for management and to motivate a leader has to encourage the people to innovative and improvise. Such an approach helps in organizing the
