Part 1 - Strengths Section

Areas of personal strength How each of these strengths can support me as a leader? (explain your thinking)

Strong Communication Skills
As a leader, effective communication is crucial in ensuring that your team is on the same
page and working towards the same goals. Being able to articulate your expectations,
provide feedback, and communicate the vision and goals of the project is key. This will
ensure that everyone is aligned, motivated and working towards achieving the same
objective.

Ability to Delegate Effectively As a team leader, you cannot do everything yourself. Knowing when to delegate tasks to
team members and ensuring that they have the necessary skills and support to complete
the task is critical. Delegation not only helps to distribute workload but also helps to
develop the skills of your team members.

Technical Knowledge and Expertise Having a strong technical background is important in being able to understand and
contribute to the technical aspects of a project. As a leader, this will enable you to make
informed decisions and provide guidance to your team when necessary.

Three Areas of Growth What would you like to learn/achieve in this area? (explain your thinking)

Developing Emotional Intelligence
Developing emotional intelligence can help you become a better leader by allowing you to
better understand and manage your own emotions, as well as those of your team
members. This can lead to stronger relationships, improved communication, better
decision-making, and the ability to manage stress and conflict more effectively. By
developing your emotional intelligence, you can become a more effective and empathetic
leader who is better equipped to build a positive and productive team culture.

Learning to Build Stronger
Relationships with Team Members
Learning to build stronger relationships with team members is an essential skill for
effective leadership. By developing strong relationships based on trust, empathy, and
mutual respect, you can create a more positive and productive team culture. This can
lead to improved collaboration, higher levels of engagement, and better overall team
performance. By focusing on building strong relationships with your team members, you
can become a more effective and influential leader who is better equipped to lead your
team to success.

Learning to Lead with Empathy Leading with empathy can help create a positive and productive work environment,
improve team morale and reduce conflicts. This can lead to higher team performance and
overall success.
