Self-leadership assessment is an important exercise in understanding the basic qualities that each individual has that could make them good or bad leaders for any organization. The use of contemporary theories of leadership to assess the suitability of the individuals for a given task is very important in understanding the leadership abilities of everyone, using self-assessment tool called Seven Habits Profile. Through this, individuals are able to learn about their strengths and weakness, based on their score. For this assignment, I will conduct personal leadership assessment through the seven habits profile, as well as to underscore the strengths and weaknesses of the results (Dionneet al., 2004). This is followed by formulation of SMART …show more content…
After I circled the relevant score of each of the parameters required of me in the nine categories, I have scored the following in each of the categories.
Outstanding performance These were the key areas of my strength according to the scorecard of the exercise. They include a seventeen point performance score. The areas included think win-win, emotional bank account, synergy, and seek first to understand. These categories happened to be my strongest points of leadership according to the seven habits profile.
Very good This category meant average performance based on the traits I have as a leader. Thus I had averagely fifteen points in the categories as put first things as first, be proactive, life balance. These represent very good traits and abilities which sharpen me as a leader with objectivity and creativity.
Good:
These are relatively average traits and the scorecard indicated that I scored 14 points on: begin with and end in mind and sharpen the saw. However, these performances posted here can be a source of weakness or strength depending on how well I sharpen the recommendation in order to become an effective and efficient leader to any organization.
Reflection on the seven habits
These three traits have been what I have followed, while in different leadership position, to strive to be the best leader I
Overall, I feel this assessment was accurate, and I was not surprised by the strengths
According to the StrengthsFinder survey, my top five signature strengths/themes are: Ideation, Adaptability, Deliberative, Activator, and Command (StrengthsFinder, 2015). Admittedly, the level of accuracy in which the survey was able to identify some of my traits was surprising. However, these are traits I have been aware of and developed over the years from childhood to present day, but have not had them in such a format that adds context. The survey results were right about me taking one day at a time – I do not worrying about things such as legacy, long term career goals, and what people think of me – Adaptability.
The first behavior trait that demonstrates a successful leader is self-awareness, which consist of being aware of their behavior and how this can affect others around them. These leaders can analyze the feelings and thoughts of their staff and present themselves as their authentic self (Leroy, Palanski, & Simons, 2012). The second positive leadership behavior is self-management. Self-management consist of having control over your own behavior with the ability to manage actions, performance, and find resources that will contribute to a positive attitude to keep from reflecting negative feelings onto others you work with (Breevaart, Bakker, Demerouti, 2014). The last behavior that demonstrates a positive leadership is social awareness.
This course was a week-long and went into a detailed discussion on what Covey considered the seven habits of highly effective people, and a 360-feedback Benchmark report was used to rate my personal and interpersonal effectiveness. I had 26 people contribute feedback (self, 2 supervisors, 10 peers, and 13 direct reports) which would be useful to me within my organization and in my personal life. Below I go over the seven habits and the feedback I received. • Be Proactive. Being an effective person starts with being proactive in all facets of life.
Leaders possess different strengths that allow them to succeed in their career or life. The Clifton Strengths Finder Assessment helped identify my top strengths and how to lead with my strengths in order to further develop them. My top five strengths were competition, positivity, winning others over (WOO), harmony, and achiever. Based on the meaning of each strength, I related to all them, however, I was surprised by some of them.
Being in the Honor’s Program has allowed me to establish values that suit me and help me to develop traits and skills to become a better leader. One of the first ways I was able to start developing my values as a leader was I learned about my strengths through the Strengths Finder quiz. The found that I was an achiever, arranger, responsibility, input and significance. I read about my results from Tom Rath’s book “Strengths based Leadership”. In the book, my results showed that I take pride in hard work and keeping my work areas neat and clean.
In developing this paper on leadership, I examined what was most important to me as a leader. As I reflected on my leadership philosophy, I thought about my experiences and the principals that I have learned through my own self-discovery and the observation of other leaders that I have had throughout my life. My leadership philosophy paper will focus on what leadership is to me, core values, and knowledge of others. In thinking about my definition of leadership, I thought of what was most important to me in and as a leader.
I scored one point above the average score for achievement-oriented style. Participative leadership involves allowing followers to be involved in the decision making process, discuss and integrate followers suggestions about the company or program one is involved in. Of these three types of leaders I am
Sehyun Joseph Kim, MGMT 102, Professor Hite Self Reflection Analysis Throughout this quarter, taking the various self assessments both reinforced previous knowledge that I already knew about myself and taught me more about myself. Even when I knew which choices would yield me a higher score, I forced myself to admit my flaws and choose the honest answers or else there would be no point in these quizzes. In this paper, I will be discussing the top three self assessments that helped me realize my strengths and weaknesses as well as habits that I may need to change to become a better employee and leader. Self Assessment
Individual Reflective Paper Introduction Leadership, a controversial concept, has been studied for centuries. Scholars who study leadership have argued with the insight of leadership for many decades and finally promote a wide range of understandings of it. This course “values and leadership” introduces the basic principles and concepts about leadership, and provides us with some conceptual knowledge and practical approaches to be an outstanding leaders. I chose to take this course because I am interested in the topic about leadership.
In this part I will review myself, about what have I done and what can I do, so I can be closer to my vision. As I have mentioned in my current situations I have strength, weaknesses, opportunity and threats. My strategy is that I want to maintain my strength, overcome my weaknesses and threats and take advantage of the opportunity. My strengths are my calm and observant personality.
These traits are intelligence, self-confidence, determination, integrity, and sociability. I recognize all of these traits within myself. Between my leadership history and my strengths, which were identified from the StrengthsFinder Inventory that I completed this past year, I realize that I
Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization. I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.

There will be information on the advantages and disadvantages of the leadership theories and information on each including examples. The purpose of this paper is to view various kinds of leadership theories and apply them to a real-life scenario. Leadership Theories There are quite a few different leadership theories available for people to take information from and use in business settings and even personal settings.
