Leader's Self-Insight 1.1: Your Learning Style: Using Multiple Intelligences
I scored evenly on all of the types of intelligence measured by this self-assessment: logical-mathematical, verbal-linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and musical. This indicates that I am a well-rounded person with the ability to work in multiple environments on different tasks.
Leader's Self-Insight 1.2: Your Leadership Potential
I scored slightly more (7) on the even-numbered indicators than on the odd ones (6), indicating I have leadership capabilities such as "vision and change." However, the scores were about even.
Leader's Self-Insight 1.3: Are You on a Fast Track to Nowhere?
On people skills, I scored 3 out of the 4 qualities. I believe I have solid interpersonal skills. On working with authority, I scored 2. I believe I need to work more on my assertiveness and courage when dealing with persons in positions of authority because I remain afraid to speak up and express my opinion when it differs from that of management. On networking, I scored two out of the four because I am not "invited to join key members of my team or organization for lunch" at least one time per month. Clearly I need to network more.
Leader's Self-Insight 2.1: Rate Your Self-Confidence
I scored 5 on this confidence measure, which is about average. This result indicates that although I have some self-confidence, there are areas that need improvement. For example, I need to work harder on being less discouraged and finishing projects after starting them.
Leader's Self-Insight 2.2: What's Your Leadership Orientation?
I scored four on both consideration and on initiating structure, which suggests strong orientation to both these aspects of leadership.
Leader's Self-Insight 2.3: Your "LMX" Relationship
The score for this self-insight was 4, showing that my relationship with my former supervisor was about average for such a dyad. In the future, I hope to develop more mutually beneficial relationships with leaders.
Leader's Self-Insight 3.1: T-P Leadership Questionnaire: An Assessment of Style
Here, I scored high both on task orientation and on people orientation. I happen to respond well to pressure situations, and value members of my team as well as specific strategies for solving problems.
Leader's Self-Insight 3.2: Are You Ready?
I evaluated my scores based on my current and on a former job, just to compare the two results. In my former job, I was bored frequently and only did the bare minimum because the work was tedious and underpaid without any chance for advancement. However, in my current job there is room for professional advancement. This is why I am trying harder and performing to the best of my ability.
Leader's Self-Insight 3.3: Measuring Substitutes for Leadership
On task structure I scored a 1 because I am involved in highly specialized work but there are multiple ways of achieving productivity goals. On task feedback, I scored mostly true on both the indicators because I do receive immediate feedback for a successful project. I score high on intrinsic satisfaction because I truly do love what I do and derive much fulfillment from the job.
Leader's Self-Insight 4.1: The Big Five Personality Dimensions
Although I am different in different situations, I score relatively high on extraversion, and also on neuroticism, agreeableness, openness to new experiences, and also on conscientiousness. All of these happen to be prominent traits.
Leader's Self-Insight 4.2: Measuring Locus of Control
On this self-assessment, I scored 49, which is a little below the average indicated by the text. This means that I need to improve my locus of control by believing that I am responsible for both my successes and my failures.
Leader's Self-Insight 4.3: Instrumental and End Values
This was a difficult measure because I found so many of the values to be important to me, such as both an exciting life and a comfortable life. Therefore, I am not convinced of the accuracy of this test. My primary end values are both social and personal. For instrumental values, I value broad-mindedness and imagination. These may be considered competence goals although I also value morality.
Leader's Self-Insight 4.4: What's Your Thinking Style?
Here, my strongest quadrant is C (empathetic and emotional thinking) but I also scored high in both A and D. also. My weakest is category B, organized and detail-oriented although I express elements of each category.

I scored a fairly unequivocal INFP on this test, which indicates qualities such as being idealistic and having strong values. I am good at learning and would do well in a position of "noble service," according to the text.

Following are Hofstede's four categories and what they measure: Power Distance (PD) is the "extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally" (Hofstede 1998) with a small PD meaning more equality in the society, and a large PD meaning less. Individualism (ID) defines whether the society expects people to look after themselves or not. Its opposite is
For countries such as the U.S. And France, these needs can be reasonably expected to relate to the respective national cultures involved. For instance, in their book, Education in France, Corbett and Moon (1996) report, "An education system needs to justify itself constantly by reference to the values which underpin a nation's culture. In a democracy it is expected to transmit a range of intellectual, aesthetic and moral values
In the present environment of rapid technological change, it is essential for knowledge workers to continuously be in a learning mode. Metrics need to be put into place to assist managers in focusing training funds where they can be of most use. Kaplan and Norton (1996) emphasize that learning is not the same as training. It consists of factors such as mentoring and tutoring within the organization, in addition to

True learning organizations allocate the time and resources that are required to develop a competitive advantage based on the lifelong learning and training opportunities that are provided to everyone in the organization. 3.

Self-Evaluation/Self-Assessment for Leaders People are influenced by leaders. Leaders cannot affect people without understanding why people behave the way they do. Successful and effective leaders are, therefore, learners of human behavior. Good leader not only try to understand the personalities and psychology of their subordinates but they also consistently evaluate and assess themselves in order to be productive (Clawson 2001). Till date, no studies have produced a clear profile of
There are research studies about knowledge management and local knowledge which the present research must take into consideration. However, judging from the information which is available online, it is safe to say that this is a research area which still needs to be worked upon.
