First, create a list of what you feel are important qualities for leadership. Remember, not all leaders look alike. For example, in some professions, you may need to be commanding, while in others you may need to be nurturing to succeed. Identify the traits or values of successful leaders in the career you are currently working in or wish to enter. You should evaluate at least five traits.
Next, analyze yourself according to each of those traits. Examine your strengths and weaknesses in each area.
Finally, reflect on what feel you need to do to strengthen your skills.
This is a partial list of traits and qualities; however, it should only be used as a reference. Make your list personal.
