I noticed when I started this exercise that the
questions asked in the assessment test were very practical. I noticed that
there were some areas of this self-assessment test that I felt that I was very
comfortable with some of the questions but others I seemed to be unsure how to
answer them without doing some self-reflection. I was also surprised when faced
with the same questions again in the post test. I seemed to stop and think more
clearly about my responses and I began to think more deeply into the responses.
I found in this exercise that i was lacking in some of the areas in of the
assessment and made me think about the areas that I need to improve on. I felt
that a majority of the assessment hit close to home on my own leadership
shortfalls. In the same thought I felt that it also improved other areas that I
feel are my strengths in leadership. I saw at the end that the ability to lead
from a role model style of leadership was shown as a result of the assessment.
I think that I have had the ability to lead from the front and become a role
model of my subordinates. I have always said that I would not ask my
subordinates to do something that I was not will to do myself. I was surprised
to find out that I should work on my ability to deal with conflict and improve
on this aspect of my leadership abilities. I should learn how to face
opposition from my superiors and work on ways to convey my stance on issues in
a more thorough and thought out form. I will take this information and apply it
to my managerial techniques and improve on my weaknesses and strengthen my
traits that seem to be prominent.
PS: Not sure why this didn't show. I sent it with the first blog but I understand If the grade reflects.
