Part of a human resource leader is communication, accessibility, and empowerment of ones employees. I feel my skills in open communication, information sharing, decision fairness, outcome concern, and credibility help in many ways.

I scored highest in action under core leadership skills, which include: decision making, communication, and mobilizing others. I feel this supports my frame of leadership as well.

Managers are required to have skills which would support them to manage people in order to ensure that their business run effectively and efficiently.

There are some aspects of my job that I know better than other people and I can use this opportunity to teach and mentor them. This will provide great practice for when I am in a managerial position. I can use the trial and error method to see what works best for me and the people that I am helping and be able to use the experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. By culturing this from early on in my career, I can gradually expand my strengths and be able to take a managerial position with less worry.
