Leadership Skills Assessment Reflection

I find the results on Leadership Skills Assessment to be quite impressive. The assessment helped me to discover my leadership abilities in terms of personal characteristics and transformational leadership. The personal characteristics assessed in this case include self-confidence, positive attitude, and emotional intelligence. I had a score of 7 out of 10 on self-confidence, which I consider to be quite satisfactory. However, I will take appropriate measures to improve on this quality because it plays a significant role in boosting my leadership ability. However, I was not very comfortable with a score of 6 out of 10 on the quality of Positive Attitude and Outlook. This result shows that I need to develop a more positive mindset as it is strongly correlated with effective leadership. I would achieve this by taking setbacks positively and getting a sense of balance when dealing with problems. I have also realized that I need to change how I approach problems and challenging situations by developing an optimistic attitude. In addition, I need to apply some techniques such as rational thinking, getting enough rest, engaging in physical exercise, and relaxation/sleep, and sleep to manage stress levels. My score of 8 out of 10 on emotional intelligence was one of the highest and one of the most impressive. This result shows that I am well aware of my feelings/emotions and that I am able to control them well. In addition, it shows that I can communicate effectively with others even in difficult situations. However, I plan to develop this quality by learning more about empathy.

This assessment also shows that I have the necessary skills to succeed as a transformational leader. For instance, my score on providing a Compelling Vision of the Future was 7 out of 10, which is quite satisfactory and inspiring as well. This implies that I have the capacity to create an effective vision for the future as well as to inspire my subordinates. I plan to develop this quality by improving on my strategic analysis and decision-making techniques. However, results of the assessment show that I need to improve on my the qualities of Motivating People to Deliver the Vision and Being a Good Role Model, as I had a score of 6 out of 10 on both. I have learnt that I can improve on these qualities b leading more by example and learning to understand the problems and challenges that my subordinates face in the course of their work. Nonetheless, my scores of 7 out of 10 and 16 out of 20 on Managing Performance Effectively and Providing Support and Stimulation are quite inspiring and help to boost my confidence in my leadership abilities.
