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.
Leader's Self-Insight 4.5: Personality Assessment: Jung's Typology
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.
Leader's Self-Insight 5.1: Mindfulness
I scored...
Judgment, however, should be suspended long enough to try to determine why someone does something a certain way. If this can be determined, it is another lesson worth having. This is true of the student that is just learning about business, and true of the established businessperson. Unlike that student learner, the businessperson that has already been working in the world for a while will be much harder to teach.
Being sure that their book is current on all distribution sites, in addition to on the self-publishers' site is critically important. Leading Self-Publishing Companies Globally Of the over 60 self-publishers or print-on-demand publishers in existence globally only a handful are considered world-class in their operations, from editing to production and distribution. The vast majority of self-publishers do not offer manuscript screening, hardcover binding, color printing or support for ISBN and Library
There are no good or bad personalities, and diversity creates strength. This is particularly true in terms of teams, where having D, I, S, and C-types working harmoniously together enables all tasks to get done by the individuals with the greatest core strengths in specific interpersonal areas. Different team members can compensate for one another's weaknesses. One problem with team-building between different types, however, is the fact that the different
Self-Reflection of Leadership Honest self-reflection can be a daunting enterprise, but the process can also provide people with valuable insights concerning what they actually think and believe that may not otherwise be possible. In fact, some people do not know what they really believe until they are forced to think about it and reduce their thoughts to writing (Daum, 2015). To this end, this paper provides an analysis of the author's
