What motivates me to lead
My leadership skills
From the collected feedback and reflection, identify your extrinsic and intrinsic motivators. What motivates you to deliver your best work may provide insight into your motivation to lead, though for some the motivation to lead may be different.
Skills are your practical ability to perform a set of actions, based on expertise and experience. Consider both skills in emerging as a leader (being recognized and accepted by others as a leader) and skills in being an effective leader. Do these align with what your organization and group value or need from leaders – today and tomorrow?
Ä My leadership strengths Ã
After you have explored strengths at the four levels of personality, values, motivations, and skills, integrate those four levels to uncover some of your more distinctive strengths, where some or all of the levels reinforce each other.
Also touch on what abilities you need to enhance in order to get the results you want. In identifying opportunities for improvement, rather than cultivate skills in areas where you have little competence, concentrate on building your strengths.
How do I work?
In what ways do you work best? Are you a reader or a listener when it comes to processing information most effectively? Do you accomplish the most by working with other people, or by working alone? When are you most engaged / least engaged? How do you recharge? Are you better at decision making or better at advising on key matters? Can you thrive in stressful conditions, or do you need a highly predictable environment?
How to help me
What people misunderstand about me
How should you be convinced – data or intuition, full story or synopsis? How (much) should you be communicated with? How do you give and receive feedback? How do you solve conflicts? How can people earn an extra gold star with you? What would frustrate you?
