Effective leaders are those who can scan the environment, who are willing to receive feedback from others about their own performance, and who are willing to try new things; hence the emphasis on integration with self-discovery and ongoing learning.

Perhaps one of the most common concerns of aspiring leaders is about their skill sets and competencies. What does someone need to do in order to be a successful and effective leader? More and more, research findings are providing support for a model that embraces self-awareness, self-reflection, and emotional intelligence.

Questions to Consider

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

• Bill Gates said, “As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others” (Sources of Insight, 2011). What does that mean? How might it influence the way you view leadership power and authority?
• How do effective leaders empower and support those around them?

For this assessment, consider you were recently promoted to an executive level position in your organization. The organization has a highly regarded management training and development program led by its human resources department. As part of that, the HR team works individually with each new executive to create a customized development plan. One component of that is that the HR team asks each new executive to create a personal SWOT analysis. New executives are typically familiar with a SWOT analysis (analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) from their past educational and professional experience, but typically think of that tool as applied to an organization rather than applied personally.

Preparation

You too are probably already familiar with the business practice of conducting a SWOT analysis, but you are encouraged to conduct independent research on this term as necessary. Complete an abbreviated version of a SWOT analysis on your own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Use the criteria below as a guide for your analysis. You will use your SWOT analysis results to complete this assessment.

• Advantages (skills, education, experience) you have that others do not.
• The achievements you are most proud of.
• Things you do better than anyone else.
• Special connections you may have.
• Resources that are available to you.

• Tasks you avoid doing because you do not feel confident doing them.
• Negative work habits, such as often being late, disorganized, or easily stressed.
• Your level of confidence in your skills, education, or experience.
• Personality traits that might hold you back. For example, do you have a fear of public speaking, yet work where you are expected to conduct meetings regularly?

Just as with your strengths, be sure to consider how others see you.

Briefly identify and describe at least two opportunities for growth. It may help you to think about:

• Do you have a network of influential contacts?

• Are there trends in your company that you could use to your advantage?
• Can you offer solutions to problems within your company?

Threats

• Obstacles you are facing at work.
• Competition for positions or projects.
• A major change in the nature of your job.

• Analyze the leadership style or characteristics you see reflected in your strengths.
• Analyze how you can apply the leadership style or characteristics to overcome perceived weaknesses.
• Analyze how you can use the leadership style or characteristics to explore opportunities.
