PROFILING YOUR TEAM LEADERSHIP COMPETENCY

the team. As discussed earlier, team leadership means the sharing of certain recognitions
and rewards. Since, you share some of the autonomy and prestige of your position, you must
truly believe that full participation from your group will result in better decisions and that you
will have the ability to lead your team to success.
On the above, we would request you to take few minute now to assess your leadership skills
and then check your score on the assessment and interpretation sheet that follows.
