Discussion 2: Your Leadership Profile
Do you believe you have the
traits to be an effective leader? Perhaps you are already in a supervisory
role, but as has been discussed previously, appointment does not guarantee
leadership skills.
How can you evaluate your
own leadership skills and behaviors? You can start by analyzing your
performance in specific areas of leadership. In this Discussion, you will
complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. This assessment will identify
your personal strengths, which have been shown to improve motivation,
engagement, and academic self-conference. Through this assessment, you will
discover your top five themes—which you can reflect upon and use to leverage
your talents for optimal success and examine how the results relate to your
leadership traits.
