Leadership Self-Assessment
Instructions:
The assessment is composed of four are a s t h a t deal with personal, interpersonal,
group/ organizational, and community leadership development. There is a set of 20
statements that reflects various attributes and skills f o r e a c h o f t h e f o u r
a r e a s .
Please read each statement carefully, then rate yourself in terms of the degree to which you
think you possess the attribute or perform the leadership skill. This is not a test. There is no
right or wrong answer. Please respond to every statement. Do not answer in terms of how
you would like to see yourself, what you should be doing, or how you think others view
you. Instead, be realistic and honest with yourself.
The assessment provides three choices:
• Do not do well
• Do somewhat well
• Do well
After you have completed a page, go back and place a check beside the skills you
want to develop. Consider especially the skills you do not do well and what you
might do to improve them. This is where you are likely to grow the most.
Think about stretching yourself 10 percent.
Remember, this assessment is for your benefit in thinking about the
leadership goals you want to establish for the Leadership Development
Certificate Program. In order to complete your Personal Development Plan,
please discuss the attributes and skills that you would like to develop in each of
the four areas.
