Self-Assessment #2 (Chapter 1): Managerial Leadership Skills Chapter 1’s, Self-Assessment 2 indicated that I preferred working with technology (Lussier & Achua, P.32). I scored a 17 on the questions related to technical skills, which tested higher than both interpersonal and decision-making skills. The results of self-assessment 2 were accurate. Technology has always been a fascination of mines and I am always eager to learn more as technology advances. In my free time, I often find myself spending countless hours analyzing features on cell phones, computers, HD televisions, game consoles, etc. I received my first laptop back in 2005. Two years after receiving my very first laptop, it caught a serious virus. I had two options, one, …show more content…
I consider myself an above average decision maker. In the past, I was forced to make some very tough decisions. For example, I originally intended to enroll in the Master Program for Organizational Change at Hawaii Pacific University. It was my first option and I really wanted to attend the school. However, I could not do so, due to some unfortunate circumstances. Tuition was extremely expense, so was the cost of living. I had a sizeable amount of funds in my savings account, but it was not enough to cover long-term costs. My options were to go to Hawaii and take a chance or play it safe and stay close to home. Self-Assessment #1 (Chapter 2): Big Five-Personality Profile In Chapter 2’s Self-Assessment 1, I scored the highest in the conscientiousness section. Conscientiousness personality dimension includes traits of dependability and integrity (pg.33). The people who know me best will probably agree that I am a dependable person. I am always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Two months ago, my younger brother called me and asked could he borrow $200 for rent. At the time, he already owed me money, but he knew that I would still be reliable in his time of need. Honestly, I did not want to lend him the money, but I understood his situation. Three months later, I still have not been reimbursed. All I have is the reputation for being dependable. Obviously, being such a reliable person has worked to my disadvantage. In the
Every day we are faced with decisions, both easy and challenging ones. We are faced with decisions we do not even realize we are making, like brushing your teeth in the morning. In our lifetime we are also faced and with life altering decisions like making a big move to a new transfer
Decisions are what direct a average person's life. Some decisions are easy some are hard. But that’s the way of life and how it works.
Decisions are something we face constantly every day, whether its choosing what to say, which way to go, or even what your gonna eat. We all make decisions some can be hard and so simple.
Decision making is where one must make a choice (most of the time trivial), like “Should I have ice-cream or cake?” or “Should I do my homework or not?”. All of these things have one thing in common though, they all have positive and negative effects on the person in question like becoming fat, or getting a bad grade. It is extremely excruciating to me to make decisions because of this reason. So to combat this I will attempt to put myself into undesired
“We all have competencies. They are the sum of our experiences and the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes we have acquired during our lifetime” (Pickett, 1998, p. 103). A successful organization will have a set of competencies defined. Having competencies identified outlines the framework of standards that a company and employees should follow. There is a tendency to list a large number of competencies when creating the standards for an organization. Companies should focus on five to seven key core competencies that are needed in order to be successful. The core competencies should encompass the growth of the company, staff, and public perception.
The ability and strength of an individual to achieve goals by supervising processes, guiding initiatives and employees is defined as Leadership skills. Valuable leadership skills include taking thoughtful decisions, allocation of resources, and the ability to delegate, inspire and communicate effectively. Other leadership traits include honesty, confidence, commitment and creativity. Leadership competencies can be used to effectively select, develop and promote leaders in an organization .The difference between Leadership Skill and leadership competency can explained as the required level of efficiency to perform a task assigned is known as skill whereas the quality to accomplish the same is called as competency. When creating leadership competencies certain factors are considered such as business strategies and future trends. To drive the use of competencies in selecting and developing leaders HR practitioners should use the business strategies. To effectively build a unique set of skills for the organization 's leaders, the firm will sustain competitive advantage. The role of a project manager has always been my interest. The position which I have always desired is a role of project manager.
Decision-making has never been my forte, exactly. I once drove around town with a friend for forty minutes as we exchanged variants of, “I don’t know. Where do you want to eat?” My proclivity for avoiding to outright choose one thing over another has been deeply inset since I was very young, and I believe it probably stems from an intense fear of rejection. Needless to say, the choice to commit to something I cannot see was one that was daunting and, for a long time, seemed puerile.
For this assignment, I have decided to use the leadership trait, skills and style questionnaires. For this questionnaire, I asked 5 different people that know me in different contexts in life, such as personal, school, and work environments. For the majority, I rated myself higher on the traits than my fellow colleagues. On some of the traits however, I was rated higher than what I thought. Overall, I averaged a 4/5 which means that everyone agreed with the traits that were given. For the style questionnaire, I found out that I place more emphasis in building relationships rather than completing tasks. Finally, the skills questionnaire, my leadership skills are in the high range for technical skills, and my human and conceptual skills are in the moderate range.
Making good decisions is vital to living a successful and productive life. The ability to decide and choose wisely and rightly depends on the situation. Though we try to be as logical as possible in taking a decision, sometimes we end up making the wrong choices. So, it is important to understand how people decide things.. The sad truth is that people, even at the highest level, simply do not like to make good choices as every decision involves a certain amount of risk.
As we know that, leadership is nothing. But the influencing flowers. Leadership includes three fundamental clusters of skills creating vision, garnering commitment to that vision, an managing progress toward the realization of that vision. powerful and effective leaders plays very vital role to reach the maximum production for any organization.
Decision Making is not easy for me but I can do it well enough to get what I want. Most of the time, solving problems is easy but sometimes it can be a challenge because of certain situations I can be in. I may not be very good at analyzing the situation but I do it well enough to know what’s going on; The problem is knowing what to do when situation gets out of hand. I have some skill in Decision Making, but when it comes to certain situations I’ll need a helping hand. Other times when I know what to do, I can make a decision by myself. When I’m in a group, I’ll let them make the decision in that case. However, in most cases when making a decision, I’ll either be a little slow or just overthink the situation when the problem is black and white.
I make life decisions by considering all options and thinking about all of the consequences and all of the factors that play into a major life decision. For example, choosing a college. While choosing a college I will have to consider a number of factors, such as: if I get a scholarship there, how far away it is from home, if the school has my major, pricing of the school, and if I feel safe and comfortable

Management and leadership skills in nursing and other healthcare professions are becoming a more and more widely spoken of subject, as they are essential skills for everyday practice in delivering care (Gopee and Galloway, 2009). Effective management requires the nurse to be able to draw on evidence based knowledge and experience to develop the ability to manage competently during practice. Skills without knowledge, appropriate attitude and understanding will not equate to competency (Watson, 2002).
Day today management is clearly defined by F.W. Taylor, Henry Fayol, Ma Weber, and others in classical management. No organisation can just have one type of management all through the organisation like operation can be scientific management and task oriented leadership. Marketing can be administrative and with action centred leadership. The overall leadership should be the same has the ethos of the organisation overall. . Current theories and models of leadership explain the influence of position upon the satisfaction and performance
