Leadership Styles Portfolio

Leadership Styles Portfolio: Purpose of Assignment: As a leader it is important to first know oneself. When we know ourselves then we can move forward with building on strengths and mitigating areas for improvement. This assignment will help you discover some important baselines about yourself. Furthermore, the tools should also help you to have a better understanding of how others who score differently from you may act and react to various situations. Keep in mind that we are unique individuals who respond differently to different situations. No one test can adequately measure us in full, but, they can help us to better understand ourselves. This portfolio will be something you can carry with you long after the course ends to refer to and devise lifelong continuous improvement.
