leadership skills assessment
.
Interpretation
The questions scored in your First Score reflect an initiating structure or task leadership style. A score of greater than 47 would indicate that you describe your leadership style as high on initiating or task structure. You plan, direct, organise, and control the work of others.
The questions scored in Second Score reflect a considerate or relationship style. A total score of greater than 40 indicates that you are a considerate leader. A considerate leader is one who is concerned with the comfort, well-being and personal welfare of his or her subordinates.
A leader who emphasises initiating structure generally improves productivity, at least in the short run. However, leaders who rank high on initiating structure and low on consideration generally have large numbers of grievances, absenteeism, and high turnover rates among employees.

Leadership is about the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors used to influence people in order to achieve a desired mission.
- A supervisor who has acquired leadership skills is able to motivate staff, he has knowledge of groups and relations between them and he communicates well. In short the assumption of leadership is the duty to be performed by anyone in command of the activities of others.
- Leadership sets the organisation in motion and a major responsibility of managers at all organisational levels is to direct and inspire the work of the people working on the project.
- The term leadership has a broad definition and includes giving orders, handling and motivating people, whether as individuals or as groups, managing conflict, and communicating with subordinates.
- Leadership is that element of management that injects energy into the organisation to activate its members to get things moving and to keep them moving.
- Leadership also means passing on information to subordinates, explaining the mission, goals and plans of the organisation, allocating tasks and instructions, consulting with staff and supervising their work, taking whatever steps are necessary to raise production, disciplining staff and handling conflict.
