The four assessment tools I used and one a peer administered and the results from: Northouse, P. G. (2018). Introduction to leadership: Concepts and practice (4th ed.). Washington, DC: Sage.

Please do not forget to define these things cite everything in APA format 7th addition and full references I did not cite everything in this but it is all from the reference above and it is not written how it should be in the essay it is just information needed in the paper

1. Leadership style questionnaire: this questionnaire is meant to help people find out what is their style of leadership. My score for authoritarian leadership was 14 which was in the low range. Democratic leadership score is 26 very high range. Laissez-Faire leadership score was 16 which is just on the start of moderate range.

2. Leadership strengths questionnaire: This tool can help leaders figure out what their strengths are and even help them see where they may be able to make some improvements. This tool scores 5 things and mine are: implementer score 28, innovator score 26, encourager score 27, analyzer score 25, mediator score 24. This means that with my lowest number being a 24 all but mediator which was score at moderate the rest of my scores for this tool are in the high to very high range.

3. Task and relationship questionnaire: this tool helps us to see our behaviors with task orientated skills and relationship oriented leadership skills and if we put more emphasis on one. I scored High on both, task score was 47 and relationship score 45. This shows I have a balance between the two. Task leadership behaviors facilitate goal accomplishments, while relationship leadership behaviors help followers (workers) feel comfortable with themselves (Northouse, 2018).

4. Leadership skills questionnaire: This will help us see strengths and weaknesses one may have in administrative skills, interpersonal skills and conceptual skills. I scored high on all three, for administrative score was 23 high, interpersonal 26 very high, conceptual 25 high. This is not a shock to me because I have worked for hospice for 14 years and you have to have interpersonal skills for this job not just with other employees but with patients and their families. My conceptual skills is also high and I believe I developed these skills with working with the union and working on what were the problems in our workplace, what did we need to fix those problems and what strategies we can use for negotiations on a fair contract.

5. Leadership vision questionnaire: this helps assess our ability to create a vision for an agency or a group. My score was very high at 50 and I believe this is because I have done union negotiations and at my last internship I did small groups at the homeless shelter.
