Introduction
A leader needs to be dynamic in nature so that they can compile work as per changes and
modifications in an association. It is required for a leader to focus on own aspects first and use
the appropriate method to assess core skills and factors. A leader needs to use Gallup Strengthens
Quest Operating system to assess major skills to build a self-awareness event. This report will be
covered and worked as a self-assessment to build a leader. Along with this, Gallup Operating
system will be helped as a means of continuous improvement and self-development.

Self-reflection
Gallup psychometric assessment provides a complete personality evaluation with appropriate and
positive focus (Mann and Harter, 2016). This test is helpful to analyse 34 major and unique
sequences of talent themes of a person. Strengths Finder assessment signifies 34 themes into four
major categories which include strategic thinking, relationship building, influencing and
execution (Biswas-Diener, et. al., 2016).

On the basis of the provided theme, I have found a certain number of skills which enable me to
grow and develop. From the assessed list of Strengths Finder assessment, I have defined certain
skills which essential and support to become a good leader:
 A good achiever which become possible with excellent analytical skills.
 Brilliant communication skills which enable me to present ideas properly.
 Consistent in my work and treating others properly.
 The positive mindset which motivates to do the different task properly.
I have found all these skills as an essential attribute. These skills are helpful for me to work as a
dynamic leader so that I can compete with others properly. I become aware of these positive and

potential aspects of mine which enable me to become different from others. I am really surprised
that I have got 6 in communication whereas consistency rated 7. My friends and families have
defined to me about my positive mind attribute. Hence, all these factors and aspects are
determined results from the Gallup Strengthens Finder Assessment (Soria and Stubberfield,
2015). On the basis of this aspect, I become a good leader from the past 3 years. This change and
transformation have enabled me to lead a team properly and direct them as per command. It has
signified another core skill of mine “command”.

Conclusion
Self-evaluation and awareness have supported to measure dynamic leadership nature. Gallup
Strengths Finder Assessment has supported to analyse core skills and aspects. A clear description
and evaluation of own skills have supported to draw positive things and improvise factor in near
the future frame. Skills like analytical, communication, command, and positive attitude have
described and evaluated briefly. All these have supported to become a dynamic leader and
manage transformation in the next 2-3 years.
