Tasks
The task category simply represents the ability to get things done. It comprehends all the concepts of “Work”. No leader can succeed without the ability to execute tasks. For assessing a leader’s effectiveness and monitoring growth, the task category includes:
1. acceptance of responsibility
2. work ethic
3. availability
4. willingness to invest time
5. tenacity
6. perseverance
7. execution
Relationships
The category of relationships measure the ability to get along with and form lasting bonds with people. Leaders must accomplish things through, with, and for people, and that can happen only with the ability to build relationships. The relationship category includes:
1. accepting people
2. approving of people
3. appreciating people
4. seeing the good in people
5. encouraging people
5.caring for and about people
6. putting others first
7. seeking win-win arrangements
8. helping people accomplish tasks
9. living the golden rule
Henry J. Kaiser said, “You seldom accomplish very much by yourself. You must get the assistance of others.”
Self-Assessment – Yours
First a warning: people tend to over-rate themselves. Often the gap between self-realization and reality is enormous. Our inability (or unwillingness) to see our blind-spots is a severely limiting factor. We tend to look at our strengths while seeing everyone else’s weaknesses. Reversing this tendency is a foundational requirement of leadership growth.
Honest self-evaluation using this tool (use example in Leadership 1) allows us to home in on areas that need specific attention, identify major areas for improvement and call attention to existing strengths, which we can further strengthen. Give yourself ONE point for each attribute above that you honestly and confidently can say you have 100%. Doing this properly is a test of Character! Now add up your scores and do the math. Next ask your spouse and several close Buddies to score you (and tell them not to be kind – that won’t help you!)
You’re Growth Plan
Now for action! You need to map your journey towards crowning achievement – deliberately and purposefully. Start by looking at each of the 3 categories above and pick one from each that you did not score and that you feel by developing you will be able to score and thereby improve your total and your effectiveness. Now develop a plan to help you grow, and once you score a new attribute, pick another. Work on no more than 3 at any one time.
