Leadership Self-Assessment- Kyle Toelken

I believe that my strengths as a leader in a business setting is in my Commitment to the organization that I work for, in making sure the job is done right and also in a timely manner. During my internship over the summer I had to administer tests to the employees, to help them better understand their job duties and also on how to do them effectively and efficiently. In doing this, I had to learn all of their jobs first in order to teach them the proper way to work. This task was extremely difficult because of a massive language barrier I had with a lot of the employees. During my duration of working their, I showed the employees that I was committed and determined to help them better their skills and also lend them a hand when they needed help. My determination and hard work helped me become a leader to the workers where they learned to listen to what I had to say and not give me the cold shoulder.
One of the six characters that I believe is to be my weakness is in my willingness to Delegate and Empower. I try to take to much responsibility on my shoulders and then quickly become over loaded with tasks that I can’t complete in a timely manner. I need to realize that there are other workers in the office and let them take responsibility for certain decisions.

the example you gave in your posting proves you have a lot of commitment to the task. that is very helpful as a leader, because your commitment will reflect on the workers beneath you and they will see how hard you work and typically be inspired to work as hard

Kyle,
I think you would make a good leader because all good leaders find a way to connect with their team members through many forms of medium. Being able to overcome a language barrier and help the members of your team understand you are willing to help them and then helping them shows you are determined and willing to do all you can for the better of the team.
