Introduction The paper evaluates the personal leadership styles and skills. It begins with an assessment of personal understanding before taking MLQ/Birkman/GMI. In this section, leadership skills and interpersonal skills regarding communication, teamwork, organizing and control are evaluated. This is then followed by comparing what I thought about myself with what I have learned using the MLQ/ Birkman/GMI to determine whether what we thought is similar or different from the framework (Ledlow& Coppola, 2011).

Global mindset score is also measured to determine how people are able to relate and interact with people from different cultures, with different ideologies and personalities. MLQ/Birkman and GMI is crucial in understanding different leadership styles.

I thought I had a lot of focus on practical matters and I easily had control over my peers. This has helped me to get various positions of leadership since my school days. My leadership skills and ability to get things done has also helped in my college mates choosing me to lead various groups since I get tasks accomplished effectively and on time. Before I undergone this assessment, I thought I was very disciplined and always adhered to the written code of conduct.
