Many do not take the time to sit and reflect on ourselves. However, understanding yourself and identifying personal strengths and weaknesses will help you to develop as a leader. Often times it is easier to point out other’s strengths than to point out your own. Chapter four of Exploring Leadership by Komives describes tools to discover your traits and how to use them. The most important points discussed was mindfulness, managing your nonstrengths, and values.

The Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling (INTP) personality type revealed some strengths and weaknesses in my leadership personality style. For instance, this type of personality suggests limitations on my being able to “follow-through” as a leader. For this reason, I need to work on my skills to ensure that following-through on our schools initiatives is not taken seriously due to my limitations of personality.

Leadership is an art and a science that is developed and perfected by the summation of innate abilities, understanding the behaviors of people and how to capitalize on their strengths, and the unique ability to inspire and drive under challenging and dynamic circumstances (http://www.gwinnettnetwork.com/ArticleWhatMakesAGreatLeader.htm). This discussion examines a leader profile that has been an influence in my personal development that will analyze the characteristics of the leader that affected my development and also create a leadership scorecard of the selected

In my reflections as I prepared to write this paper, I came to the realization that leadership is much more complex especially since the paper requires that I focus on a few traits. In an effort to make it simple, I wrote down the traits that came to mind and in process had over 10 important traits but an even bigger challenge was on how to narrow them down to 3 or 4 and this is the place that required a good deal of reflection. Eventually, however, I had to prioritize them since in any case; it is not possible to get a leader that has all the traits. As I thought of the various leaders who have inspired me, I noticed that while they strived to provide the best leadership by focusing on their strong points, they still had their weaknesses. To me this provided a justification for at least identifying key desirable traits and thereafter working to improve them. I did manage to settle on four traits, which for me are indispensible if a leader or a leadership is to become effective.

A third strength I have as an interactive leader is my ability to help others succeed in their professional life. I had a team member that worked for me and they were interested in moving up in the department. There was a position open on another shift and they came to me for guidance and I offered to mentor her. She was able to get the position because I helped her realize her potential and she was

The eight week course in applying leadership has provided myself and many others the tools and strategies to succeed as a leader. An effective leader is a combination of many characteristics and values. After taking the Myers-Briggs personality test, I am confident that I possess the ability to lead. My personality type is ISTP which indicates that I am an introvert who is realistic, attached, adaptable and ever-changing. According to this personality test, I have the tendency to think before acting, appreciate the private time to recharge and prefer a relationship (one-on-one) communication. Furthermore, I depend on my past experiences to deal with conflicts and situations. Additionally, I am sensitive to other’s needs and tackle on circumstances as it arises (Poirer, n.d.). Thus, the traits listed are positive characteristics of an effective leader. The Myers-Briggs personality assessment is a good indication of my ability to lead. As a

The leadership strengths I feel I have are: organization, motivating, understanding, empathy, and problem solving. I thrive off being organized and when things are not organized I tend to feel out of control. I can easily help motivate others when they are feeling lost or unsure of themselves. I think to be able to motivate others you have to also be understanding and empathic. Being able to relate with others in all these different aspects helps me solve problems that may be presented. The fact that disorganization makes in feel out of control can be a limitation for me. When things are unorganized, it is difficult to know which direction I need to go.

All of the strengths have proven to help me work with others at our organization but to also be efficient and effective in the leadership department. Creating lasting relationships with faculty and staff are imperative

Using the Strength Finders 2.0 Assessment, I was able to identify my personal strengths, which would identify my personal leadership skills. My strength assessment results where Harmony, Consistency, Empathy, Achiever, and Belief. This paper will identify each strength, how they relate to my leadership style and approach to leadership.

The foundation of my leadership style stems from the trait approach. After a revival of its original intentions, the trait approach can now be summarized as a leadership approach that focuses directly on the leader’s traits that prove critical to the way they lead (Northouse, 40). Trait leadership is known to set leaders and the idea of leadership apart from the group. Trait leadership has lots of research to back up its claims (Northouse, 41). Trait approach leaders, often times take quizzes and assessments to pinpoint what leadership characteristics they have most developed. After taking such assessments, I can conclude that my confidence, my enthusiasm, and my dedication and perseverance to complete a task are traits most central to my personal leadership. If I am not satisfied with the results or I feel I have not fully met my personal expectations, I stay dedicated until I have met them. Additionally, when leading a group of people, or put in front of a crowd, I feel

The Relational Leadership Model provides many ideas that can guide one’s philosophy about leadership, but there are many other concepts that can equally contribute. At the beginning of the semester, we took the Clifton’s Strength Assessment. Knowing one’s strengths can be very beneficial, especially in a group setting.

To begin the analysis of my strengths and weaknesses as a leader, I chose to reach out to my current supervisor, a recent tutee, and a teammate whom I used to work closely with on several projects. I chose these people because they have worked alongside me, and have gotten to know my leadership qualities well throughout the past year. I have worked with my current supervisor since the summer, and she has supervised me while I have served as a mentor to undergraduate students in the areas of career planning and professional development, which has allowed her to gain a greater understanding of my leadership style in a unique manner. To see the opposite of what my supervisor sees, I asked one of the athletes I tutor to assess my leadership style. She has grown to view me as a mentor and leader for her throughout the past semester. Finally, the teammate I asked to interview me allowed me to see where I struggle and succeed most with my peers. I often assume leadership roles in teams, but she allowed me to gain insight as to why and how that process occurred. By choosing all three of these people, I was able to get a greater understanding of my leadership style as a whole, and in a variety of situations.

Throughout this course I have been challenged to take a more in depth look at how I am as a leader and what my strengths and weaknesses are. I have always been some that takes charge and likes to have control over situation, but I have been tested to take a deeper look into my leadership skills. I have found that there are a lot of things that I will have to change in order to be an effective leader, and an effective leader that has followers.
