ResultIt has been identified that I have moderate level of self-confidence. As a result, it is expected that myleadership skills would also be average. In other words, it might not be possible for me to emerge as anextra ordinary leader in the long run, but I would not be a poor leader as well. This indicates that I havethe leadership quality, but it requires further enhancement. I have deduced from many journal articlesand books that a direct relationship exists between self-confidence and leadership. There are two keytypes of leaders- transactional and transformational [ CITATION Avo13 \l 2057 ]. Self confidence is acommon characteristic of both types of leaders [ CITATION Day141 \l 2057 ]. On one hand, self-confidence enables the transactional leaders like Bill Gates to take appropriate reactive measures toeffectively compensate the loss incurred due to an event. On the other hand, self-confidence allows thetransformational leaders like Warren Buffet to take precautionary measures to prepare the organisationfor facing expected barriers in future.

This is becausedelegation of responsibilities holds prime importance in the context of leadership. I disagreed with onlytwo questions that show, I have strong behavioural orientation. It points towards my ability to keepcoordination among the team members, clarity of purpose behind undertaking a project and adhere tothe set schedule to avoid delay in task completion. However, it indicates my inclination towardsavoiding taking suggestions from the team members, which is one of my weaknesses. This is becausesuch propensity is an integral part of autocratic leadership style, which often has a negative impact onthe morale and motivation level of the team members as it restricts them from developing a sense ofbelongingness.
