Self-Assessment of Leadership Practices
Seven Habits Profile and Findings Have you ever heard of that saying “You are your own biggest critic”? I believe in that quote. Most people tend to be harder on themselves when it comes to evaluating their accomplishments and failures. I believe it is a combination of trying to be the best you can be and trying to excel above others. Scoring myself for the Seven Habits Profile was a little hard because the degree of my performance may not be as accurate compared to if it was one of my co-workers evaluating me. As best as I could, I evaluated myself based on the statements given. I scored “good” to “very good” on most while I received fair on some. I received my good scores in Emotional Bank Account, Life Balance, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw. I received my highest score of 15 in three categories, one of which is the foundational habits of the Seven Habits, Life Balance. I believe this is a very meaningful section. It talks about having balance in all aspects of a person’s life: work, family, and friends. It also talks about balancing the amount and degree of work done to where it does not cause exhaustion. Another aspect in this category is keeping in mind the needs of the people that I am working for. I received a fair score on some categories as well. These categories are Be Proactive, Put First Things First, and Begin with the End in Mind. The lowest score I received is in the latter. I do agree in this evaluation. Up to now, I am unsure about what I want to accomplish in life. I have been in the nursing field for the past 10 years, but I am uncertain if I want to stay in this field. I am
