PLP 3- Leadership Traits and Skills
Reflecting on my skills inventory questionnaire, I have determined my technique skill is my strongest area of expertise. I believe these results are accurate because I have always taken pride in my self-sufficiency. I take great measures to have the tools and knowledge to successful complete my tasks. When working in my professional and academic life I am very task oriented. For example, when I was a manager at a Tim Horton’s, I always made sure my followers were working towards the objective of providing fast, quality service. I did not care much for my human interactions or conceptual knowledge of the job. I find my leadership style is quite rigid. I believe the duty of a leader is to accomplish a mutual …show more content…

I fell within the normal range. This is a skill I would want to improve. I believe that conceptual skills would allow a leader to make larger improvements rather than handling day-to-day occupations required with technical skills. This is especially true if I intend move up for my career in human resources. My current strength in my technical skills has helped with my lower level occupations. Throughout my career I should improve my conceptual skill to see the “big picture” to attain with my followers.

Finally, human skill was my lowest result. In the future I should take measures to improve my communication and ability. With a competent range between technical, human and conceptual skill, I should be able to become a middle manager to advance within my career in human resources.

My selections from my Leadership Trait Questionnaire suggests that I may be overconfident in my abilities. I believe I am very competent for technical related skills. I appear to desire control through organization as well. The competencies which I rated myself highly on were those of quality worker. I consider this accurate to my previous results. I should however to measures to improve the competencies related to human

  • My Leadership Philosophy

    1261 Words  | 3 Pages

    Every leader must be able to accept the fact that they are not perfect and each person has things that they exceed at and things that come with a bit of difficulty. I do not see myself as being outstanding in a certain area but I do think that one of my talents is adjusting to change. When I came off to college I did miss my family a lot, but I kept myself busy by being more outgoing and finding new/different things to do. One of the reasons why I am probably so good at adapting to change is because I want change; I love switching things around and doing stuff another way.

  • Life Styles Inventory Circumplex Essay

    1167 Words  | 3 Pages

    Upon receiving this project, I immediately began to worry about a survey that would seek to determine how strong of a leader I would be. I cowered at the fact of coming up with either false information or information I felt was less than perfect. I think that this fear alone, confirms my primary style. My primary style is that of Self-Actualization. Self-Actualized individuals seek to always become all that we can with the talents and knowledge we have. We tend to be creative and like to live in the moment. We bring almost a refreshing perspective to most situations and have a continuous intrinsic drive for self-development. I see this style manifested in myself on a daily basis by my strong desire to always meet new challenges. My motivation for success and coming up with new ideas is completely internal, and when the outlook seems grim to others, I am always the one that sees a positive outcome ahead, through the use of a plan. Although, I am currently a stay at home mom, I would imagine that as a manager that worked outside the home, I would share the same values as I do at home. I am a planner and a “lister”, because I feel that in order to tackle a task, the plan of attack must be clearly laid out and readily available to refer to. My backup thinking style is the Achievement style. I think this is very obvious because I seek to find jobs or take on challenges that will allow me to feel a sense of achievement. I have been known to quit jobs that paid a decent amount, but weren’t allowing me to achieve anything. On several jobs before, I’ve ended each day with a feeling of unimportance or frustration because I felt like the majority of my day had been spent working a job that wasn’t fulfilling or impacting the world. I think the fact that I decided to leave the corporate working world to be a stay at home mom, attests to the fact that I want to feel a sense of achievement in the personal raising of my child. I want to set up a standard for my child to ultimately be able to be a self-actualized person as he grows older.

Certainly, positioning as a great leader is rewarding when we can find out how to improve our leadership/personal skills to increase performance in a workplace.

  • Leadership Self-Analysis

    For me to be an effective leader, I must first evaluate my strengths. I took the Gallup 2.0 Strength Finder report which showed my strengths in an insight and action planning guide. The results indicated the top five themes for me were input, learner, responsibility, maximizer and arranger. I believe the evaluation offered an accurate assessment of my strengths. The input theme states my mind is like a sponge, soaking up information. As a lifelong learner, the second theme is also, correct. I have a quest for knowledge about things that interest me. I am responsible, in my job and life. As a maximizer, I focus on long term goals and strive toward excellence. As a nurse, working in an environment of change, the arranger strength in my personality allows me to adapt easily and figure out the best way to accomplish tasks (Strengths, 2012).

  • The Importance Of Leadership In Leadership

    Northouse (2016) offers a Skills Inventory Questionnaire to assess which skills and traits leaders exhibit strengths and weaknesses in. This questionnaire determined I have the most strength in technical skills with a score of 28. This did not come as a surprise to me as I have implemented many technological advances since beginning at my agency 6 years ago and am consistently called upon to solve technological crises. Northouse mentions that leaders with high technological skills are seen as more credible and can offer innovative solutions to problems which I have experienced in my career (2016). In human skills, I scored a 26 which indicates that I am a “people person” (Northouse, 2016). I have always tried to maintain great relationships with my coworkers and colleagues. Although I agree that human skills are

It can be a challenging task to take on that I found to be the most personally rewarding. Sometimes it can be demanding, and on occasion a bit tiring, but it never stops being a fun adventure. I share similar experiences with Stephen Tourjee from his essay on the role as a PLTL leader. For me, knowing that I help facilitate in students’ learning in a subject is a rewarding experience.

  • Leadership Philosophy Paper

    Being a leader you need to be in tune with your talents, strength’s, and weaknesses. Personally I feel I have many skills and talents. I am a great friend, I’m trustworthy and dependable. I can step up to the plate if needed and I can take control of certain situations without being told to. I love writing and being able to express my feelings or thoughts through writing and poetry. Along with my talents and skills I also have weaknesses. Knowing your weaknesses is twice as important as knowing your strengths in my opinion. One weakness of mine is being motivated. Once I start a task I will finish it and put 150% effort into it, but actually starting the task is my problem. Another weakness of mine is change. I have a problem with drastic change; I have a comfort with familiarity. With every leader there is going to be strengths and weaknesses and I think it’s very

  • Reflection Of Leadership: Theory, And Trait Approach

    818 Words  | 2 Pages

    After understanding the theory behind both the trait and skill approach, I was eager to evaluate and reflect on my own leadership traits. It was interesting to see how the trait approach allowed me to better understand whether or not I have certain traits considered to be important for leadership, while skills approach allowed me to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses in the technical, human and conceptual skills. From completing the Leadership Trait Questionnaire (LTQ) and the Skills Inventory, I was able to reflect more on how I behave towards others in a leadership context, as well as the skills that I currently possess. As a naturally extroverted person, I have been taking on leadership roles from a young age. The findings from these two
