Understanding Your Self-Assessment Results After completing your Intentional Leadership Assessment, you now have a snapshot of your leadership strengths and areas for growth.
Step 1: Identify Your Core Strengths Review the habits where you scored highest. These are the areas where:
☑ You naturally excel. ☑ You feel con dent and energized.
☑ Others recognize you as a strong leader. ACTION
Circle your 2-3 highest-scoring habits on your assessment. These are the strengths you lead from.
Step 2: Turn Growth Areas Into Even More Strengths Instead of viewing certain scores as shortcomings, consider how those areas can evolve into valuable leadership strengths that complement your overall style and team dynamic. Ask: •
Do I need to develop this area, or can I leverage the strengths of my team?
•
If improvement is necessary, what’s one small action I can take in the next 30 days to build this skill?
•
Who can I learn from, observe, or collaborate with to enhance this skill?
Approaching Growth Strategically •
Some areas require personal development → If a leadership skill is essential to your role, invest in improving it through learning, practice, and mentorship.
•
Some areas can be balanced with strengths → You don't have to excel at everything. Focus on what you do best and adapt accordingly.
•
Some areas can be delegated or complemented → Strong leaders build strong teams by recognizing and utilizing the strengths of those around them.
ACTION
Ask which other habit could make the biggest difference if practiced more intentionally. Then outline your rst step.
