Description
What are the top leadership skills and attributes? What characteristics and qualities are necessary for a leader to be successful? Leaders come in all stripes and colors and the specific leadership qualities that define them vary considerably.
Irrespective of the functional background, some leadership skills, and competencies are essential for a leader to become successful.
The Inspiware.com Top Leadership Skills and Attributes deliverable is a self-assessment worksheet for current and potential leaders to evaluate what competencies and characteristics are important to them and assign a current and desired score.
Different leaders, in part due to their unique background and circumstances, exhibit different skills. Not every leader has each of the leadership competencies, and attributes and the level, depth, and expertise vary across the spectrum.
Leaders possess many positive attributes and qualities, but they also have their fair share of flaws.
What is the Top Leadership Skills and Attributes Worksheet and how to use it?
The Top Leadership Skills and Attributes worksheet comprises of an inventory of leadership skills, competencies, characteristics, and qualities which you may customize to your needs. Then there are columns to rank each specific competency and assign a rating for the current state and the desired target state.
The leadership skills and competencies span personal qualities, leading others, communication, ability to adapt, foster and nurturing culture and change, and related matters. The worksheet has an inventory of 100 leadership skills, competencies, and attributes.
As a leader or aspiring leader or as an HR/L&D (Human Resources/Learning and Development) representative, you may administer the self-assessment to yourself or a group. As a first step, customize the list of leadership qualities to a manageable number. Second, request the participants (or yourself if you are self-administering the assessment) to rank what skills, competencies, and qualities they think are important for a leader. Then ask the group (or yourself) to rate the current state of the skill and where they want to be in the future. Triangulating the importance of the leadership attributes and the gap between current and target states will provide an input into the leadership development task ahead.
