My highest scores were motivating people to deliver the
vision, being a good role model and managing performance effectively. My lowest
score was providing support and stimulation.
All of my scores were very close except for the support and
stimulation. I know that is something
that I need to work on because it’s a personality quirk of mine. It’s probably not so much the support; I
think I’m pretty good at that. As for
providing stimulation, I feel if it’s your job that should be stimulation
enough. That probably defines my
leadership style. I’m direct and to the
point and expect everyone to work as hard as I do and I‘m not good with people
that don’t follow the rules. I would
like to be more of a visionary leader but I don’t think that’s really who I am. In completing these leadership assessments I
did realize that maybe I could stand to work on some things. I probably should be more open to other person’s
ideas and ways of doing things. I’ve
been doing my job for so long that I don’t usually ask for input, I just do it.
I'm surprised that motivation was your lowest score, because you have helped motivate me to complete the teacher education program at FSU. You definitely helped me with my vision of becoming a science teacher! Following rules is an important team skill needed for the team to work well and succeed, but a little bending of the rules can be warranted outside of the team environment. I see a team as being a collection of people working together, because each member has a skill or ability that is needed to meet a goal that the others members do not possess. I understand the want to be open-minded and see my own faults, but it can be difficult to accept them and even harder to change them.
