Note on Recording in Your Journal
There are nine leadership skills listed on your Step 2 journal/assessment log. These are by no means the most important or the only skills essential to be an effective leader, but are listed to get your started.
Your assessment log will become more meaningful to you as you build it yourself based on the leadership style you desire to be. Listing the skill and trait requirements of your desired leadership style and then conducting self assessment and reflection will help you determine what you need to work on to become the leader you desire to be.
As well, the assessment log is to help with your self-awareness.
- How do you currently compare to the leader you want to be?
- How do you compare your current skills and proficiency levels to the leadership skill requirements?
Start by assessing yourself against the nine skills and other criteria that are listed already. In column 2, you are asked to reflect on how you assess your current level of proficiency in those skills or criteria. Being as honest as you can, assess yourself.
As you read and reflect in the remaining modules, you can continue to build a list of what is required for your leadership style, in column 1 of Step 2 of the Leadership Map. You can record additional skills or criteria that you determine are important. Then you can assess yourself against the list of skills and other requirements, you identify.
A self-assessment is just one view on your proficiency. It will be even richer if you could get feedback from someone who knows you and will be respectfully honest with you. If you can take an extra step to ask someone else to assess you on the skills and criteria you identify, you will broaden and deepen your self-awareness. That may take some courage and finesse to ask for feedback and receive it effectively.
