Use this checklist for assessing and improving your leadership skills, answer each question
below?
- If my subordinates had the opportunity, would they elect me for their leader? If not,
why not? - Do my subordinates volunteer for assignments? Do they do what needs to be done
without being directed? If they need to be continually motivated, why is that necessary?
Does it have to do with my style of leadership? - Do I always make the decisions? Should I change the way decisions are made and let
others, or the situation, determine how, and who, assumes the decision-making role? - Do I understand my workers’ needs? Am I accurately reading the group’s mood and
what they think about the task, the organization, and the leadership? - Am I correctly assessing our leader-member relations? What style of leader do they
think I am? Is it appropriate, considering the type of workers, tasks, and situations we
encounter? - Am I an effective planner? Do I know how to keep track of the work without getting
involved in everything? Have I been effectively delegating?
