The first assessment has been scored by a peer of mine from the previous organization. The second assessment is from my supervisor from my previous experience. The third assessment has been completed by a team member of my Uconn project group. I have chosen these as the assessors of my behavior as I wanted to identify the trends in my behavior through different years and through different positions of responsibilities.
The self-assessment scores on my task and relationship behavior are quite balanced. Task score comes out to be 36 and relationship is 34 which imply that there is a balance between the two but a small shift towards the Task behavior.
Upon averaging out the three assessments from others, the task score comes out as 34 and relationship score comes out as 32. Both the assessment show that I am more of task oriented than relation oriented. Others’ assessments also show that there is a difference in relationship behavior scores and that I have rated myself more than others. One of the reasons behind this could be that I may be biased in assessing myself. Feedback from others is more important than self-evaluation as it often removes biases.In the future, I would like my task and behavioral aspects to be equally balanced and in high

I do not share my emotions which I may perceive as a sign of weakness and due to this, I fail to build strong relationships with my peers. This has been evident in my self and Peer assessment as well. Moreover, my peers believe that sharing their emotions with me will be misunderstood. My first goal is to be more open about my feelings and thoughts once I have established the initial relationship. I have studied across various leadership classes throughout the course and even through leadership readings that a leader who shows his weakness builds stronger bonds with his team members. Showing emotions has been a sign of weakness according to my personality and my goal over the next 12-15 months is to show my weakness in order to be a stronger individual who is more easily connected with

    My Personal Leadership Philosophy and How it has Developed As a leader I am very unique. I hold strong personal values in the areas of trust, respect, and responsibility. I believe that no one person should be responsible for someone else, but that we have to grow up and learn to take care of ourselves. Prior to this course, I perceived leaders as people who told a group of people what to do in order to accomplish a task. When I was put in a leadership position I was always effective, but I never really took the thoughts or feelings of others into consideration.…

    Using the 5 dynamics tool, I discovered several working style characteristics about myself that I really had not previously thought about. The application of this new knowledge will improve the way that I work with other people in my education, my career and in my personal life. For example, I learned that if I partner with others whose strength and weakness are different from mine, working together as a whole we will obtain better results than we will if we work separately. Furthermore, I learned that each team member brings different strengths to the project thereby producing a more balanced result. As a result of taking the 5 dynamics assessment, I discovered that I have valuable strengths that are especially beneficial in developing…

    Reflecting back on the course of Interventions II, the coursework and in-residence portion had given me a better insight in learning how to define my personal and professional identity. The implementation of a “mock” clinical therapy sessions during the in-residence portion had been a challenge in the beginning due to the lack of having any type of background in conducting a therapy session. These therapy sessions provided the needed feedback from the instructor and my peers to gain a better understanding my theoretical orientations and areas in which I can work on to become a more competent therapist. The coursework that was provided through this course also assisted in having a better knowledge base for my future practice based on empirically…

    Introduction As I reflect on this course and the results of the Questionnaires, Reflection, and Action Worksheets I have learned many aspects of leadership. I have analyzed the definition of leadership and now have a clearer understanding of it. According to, Introduction to Leadership; concepts and practice, by Peter Northouse (2015), leadership can be composed of many variables such as relationship, trait, ability, skill, behavior, and influence process. He also elaborates on how the “leadership of an individual can be used to influence a group to accomplish a common goal”. In addition, he discusses how leadership is not the same as management (Northouse, 2015, pp. 3-7).…

    Introduction “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” — Vince Lombardi As I reflect on my leadership journey, I become more convinced with Vince that leaders are not born leaders, but are a result of a conscious effort to be one. While serving in various institutions in leadership positions, I have seen myself emerge to those positions through my hard work and skills rather than just having been assigned to it. Various factors like experience, training, mentorship, conscious practice and even failure have contributed in developing my leadership abilities.…
