Leader Self-Assessment – DISCS Inventory Information
The leadership self-assessment tool is to help identify your current skills and knowledge about leadership qualities and traits. It will only take you about 10-15 minutes to complete but will enable you to see your leadership strengths and challenges. It can be used to help identify strategies for growth. You will complete the leadership self-assessment and then complete a narrative assessment reflecting on the findings. The narrative assessment related to the findings should include: Strengths or challenges you may have as a leader based on the self-assessment
