Personal Leadership Assessment (Shortened Version)
The following questions make up a subjective assessment of your leadership.  The purpose of the assessment is to celebrate strengths and identify 2-3 areas of growth that will produce opportunities to adjust leadership to meet the needs of the challenges you face on a daily/weekly/yearly basis.  Authenticity is appreciated.  If you encounter any confusion, it is recommended you answer the question to the best of your ability.  Each question uses a scale from 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6.  The numeric value most often does not signify any meaning and only feeds into a rating system aligned to the different components of personal leadership. Answer each question by indicating how you would rate yourself according to the two answers provided.  Your responses on this assessment are completely confidential as well as the results of the assessment.

There is a place where preparation meets opportunity. Its well hidden too!
Its called. Pray, pray some more, and then ask people to pray for you.

This sounds like some fools gold.
Preach on. This question is for real.
Honesty is the best policy. *
If you want to get fired quickly.
For sure, because people need some reality in their lives.

Transparency is the best friend of culture. They need to hang out all the time.
The only transparent thing is how little money I make.

Do I feed them too? When do they just choose to get involved? This isn't Noah's Ark.
Field of Dreams, baby. If you build it, they will come.
Community involvement is nice but not necessary. *
Community involvement should be a bigger priority like getting dogs to be able to speak to humans.
Similar to holes being put in your head.
If my team/organization were more like me, we would be far more productive. *
So each of my mistakes can be compounded 50 times? No thanks.
You just read my mind. On point right here.

Results do not drive everything
I do not have time to waste, like this survey. Results are crucial to watching if we are getting it done.
If a system created does not result in a goal being met, then life goes on. *
Then blow that crap up and lets make a new one
No sense crying over spilled milk.
Surveys are so much fun. *
