For this questionnaire, I asked 5 different people that know me in different contexts in life, such as personal, school, and work environments.

Leadership takes on many faces depending on the responsibilities and environments that are available (Rubino, Esparza & Chassiakos, 2014). However, some basic qualities are universal to all effective leaders.
