EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The primary aim of this paper is to assess the leadership skills I have inherited in self. In this
connection, the report concentrates on analysing the assessments I had to undergo and the
critical activities of the same. Moreover, this report is focused on undermining the personality
strengths I already possess in myself concerning the leadership traits. Further, the report
determines the gap between the characteristics I indulge and the traits I should satisfy for
being a more effective leader. After analysing the difference, the report examines the need for
personality development with the help of the Johari window model and also determines the
importance of the same. Finally, the report ends with undermining the future plan for myself
in terms with the efficiency of the model and the requirement of developing oneself
personally in terms of leadership traits and skills.

the consistency of the nature and alignment of strengths that is essential in the prospects of
personality development. The evaluation of the assessment proved beneficial to the
improvement and development of my personality traits. In the next part of my evaluation, I
reflected on my leadership journey and how the same help in the self-awareness and self-
confidence that attracts the aspects of leading others in the organisation. Further, the future
plan is developed in order to achieve the desired result of leadership qualities and
development.
Personality Strengths
As stated by Olson (2018), leadership is a vital and critical component that describes
the personality of a person and the factor that would develop the character of the individual to
grow. In this connection, I took forward the Gallop test to understand and evaluate the
leadership skills I inherit in myself. The test fostered me to undermine the strengths I have
and to gain a proper understanding of the fields and aspects where I can perform well. Post to
the Gallop test I realised that the five different traits of a leader that I possess are the
Communication skills, competent arranger, disciplined, competitive as well as responsible.
Thus, I came up with a clear picture of my overall performance concerning leadership traits
while working in a productive organisation. The same also leveraged me with an idea in the
