Purpose and Overview

The purpose of this Leadership Self-Assessment is to provide a leadership profile based on the competencies necessary for strong, superior leadership. The data that you provide will enable you to construct a profile, complete with areas of strength and areas for Future development.

Please complete the instrument by assessing your own behaviors and skills according to the directions below. Be honest-the more rigorous you are, the better you can target your developmental needs. Remember, the instrument is meant to assess how you believe that you actually are; not how you think that you should be.

The following four items available in Bb Lecture Materials:

1. Leadership Questionaire completed
2. Answer sheet completed
3. Competency Profile completed
4. Development Programme completed.

Make sure your Development Programme item 4 uses the lowest two scores from your profile unless the scores are the same, then you will need to select two competencies that you consider are needs for your development.

Describe what skills and knowledge aspects of these competencies exist and then describe in detail with a realistc timetable over a three month period what experiences you will need to be exposed to gain these competencies.

Where , when, how and who will need to be addressed by your development programme. It needs to be in tabular/table form and also described in a 400 - 600 word narrative assignment. It needs to be real and practical and address your actual needs and how you will achieve development to satisfy such needs.

Bring all four items with you as hard copy for assessment.
