Leadership Compass Self Assessment

When I took the Leadership Compass Self Assessment, I found that I most aligned with the Vision style of leadership and skills.

Some of the strengths that were mentioned for the Vision style were the ability to see the bigger picture. I think I have this ability in my everyday life, and as I get older, I feel like this skill has grown in my way of working. I think it is important as an educator to see the bigger picture, while creating building blocks or stepping stones along the way for your student's to follow while you know what the bigger goal and purpose is for them, so that they be collecting skills along the way with diverse activities and projects.

Another skill that I could relate to was the ability to problem-solve and think outside the box. This is an important skill to avoid tedium, or doing small tasks and homework that can be boring and unrelateable, but rather to make learning relevant and meaningful. I think this has served in my education because so much of what we are given can be made more fun or creative, if we make it our own, whether it is a group project, a research paper, or a paper. I think I have the ability to have a task or assignment given to me as a student and educator and really shape it with my ability to imagine and create, and allow it take on a different form. It's something I really enjoy, and I think it will serve me well with students to make learning engaging and fun, while giving them ideas, but also guiding them to hone similar skills of thinking outside the box and making ones ideas come to shape and work for them.

I also tend to take on problems as a fun challenge. I am quite adaptable in this way, and it has served me well in my life, and will most definitely serve me well as an educator. I think this is great skill to have in the classroom because students and curriculum will not always line up and problems and challenges will arise. I think the ability to face challenges is a great strength to have and be able to bounce back when they arise, and to be able to role model that behavior will be helpful.
I think areas for growth will be carrying out visions that I have, and sticking to the mission defined. I tend to have many great ideas, but to be able to stick to it through finish is my something I need to pay attention to and work on.
