Proactive Leadership Self-Assessment

501 Words3 Pages

Professional Leadership Journal – Proactivity Assessment
Introduction
As a public health scholar, it is essential to assess one’s own leadership through leadership self-assessments. This assignment will concentrate on personal insights gained from taking a Proactive leadership self-assessment from Afsaneh Nahavandi’s book The Art and Science of Leadership. The Proactive self-assessment was composed with sources from Becherer and Maurer (1999), Bindl, Parker and Strauss (2010), and Crant (2000) that were listed as statements of proactive characteristics. This leadership assessment required individuals to “indicate the extent to which each of the following describes you” (Nahavandi, 2014) using a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 not at all being like the person and 4 sounding a lot like the person. As a result of my individual score range, new insights were gained from this leadership self-assessment.

Based upon the list of statements it seems proactive people look for new opportunities, take initiative in their projects, and advocate for others among many other things. In hindsight of this, I learned that I possess many characteristics of a proactive person. In terms of proactive characteristics looking for new opportunities, seeing change as a new opportunity, getting something done once my mind is set to accomplish something, and seeing opportunities where others may see problems are descriptive characteristics that sound a lot like me. Aside from this, characteristics of taking initiative in projects, having a can-do approach, focusing on making something happen, and advocating for others are also descriptive characteristics that sound like me. These are all strong characteristics of a proactive person. The knowledge I personally gained about my character from this insight could perhaps impact my prospective role as a public health

    Self-Reflection as a Leader Self-reflection is the practice of observing one’s own behavior and evaluating the effectiveness of one’s actions for self-development and improvement (Marques, 2017; Spurgeon, 2009). Kellogg Insight (2016) noted that leaders need to reduce the noise in the environment and use solitude to consider values, personal example, priorities and preparation to prevent unwelcome surprises. The argument was made that leaders must practice self-reflection, which enhances self-leadership, to be able to lead others (Kellogg Insight, 2016). Polizzi and Frick (2012) stated that self-reflection allows one to learn from past experiences, which may challenge prior conceptualizations, and result in increased emotional awareness.

    Leadership has been defined in a variety of ways, there are multiple authors and theorists who have tried to define and understand leadership, all leading to varying theories and conclusions, but one thing that is universally understood is the importance of effective leadership and how someone with good leadership skills can impact so many people around them. (Kakabadse and Kakabadse, 1999; Yukl, 2002; Northouse,2013) The main components that have been identified to play a role in leadership are relations between leader and subordinates, interaction form between leader and followers, the influence that the leader has, the way in which the leader behaves and finally a leader’s traits. (Yukl, 2002) These elements that make up a leader, are then used as building blocks to identify the way in which each specific leader deals with its followers.
