Positive self-leadership tendencies

/in /by

Calculate your scores.

 

my score is 54.

 

Your scores for A through F suggest your current tendencies concerning six self-leadership strategies that were addressed in the chapter reading. Your score for each of these strategies could range from 3 (a total absence of the strategy in your current behavior) to 15 (a very high level of the strategy in your current behavior). Your scores on A through F can be interpreted as follows:

 

  • A score of 3 or 4 indicates a very low level of the strategy.
  • A score of 5 to 7 indicates a low level of the strategy.
  • A score of 8 to 10 indicates a moderate level of the strategy.
  • A score of 11 to 13 indicates a high level of the strategy.
  • A score of 14 or 15 indicates a very high level of the strategy.

Evidence indicates that the use of each of these strategies tends to be related to higher performance, with the exception of self-punishment (E). Therefore, high scores on A, B, C, D, and F reflect a high level of self-leadership, which is likely to enhance your performance. A high score on E, however, reflects a high level of self-punishment, which might detract from your performance. Each of these strategies is discussed in more detail throughout the remainder of the chapter.

Your score on X indicates your overall use of the self-leadership strategies, including self-punishment. Your score could range from a low of 18 to a high of 90. Your score on X is not easy to interpret because it includes self-punishment, which might detract from performance. Your score on XX, on the other hand, reflects your score on only the five self-leadership strategies that, in general, are positively related to performance. Your score on XX, which could range from 15 to 75, can be interpreted as follows:

 

  • A score of 15 to 22 indicates a very low overall level of the strategies.
  • A score of 23 to 37 indicates a low overall level of the strategies.
  • A score of 38 to 52 indicates a moderate overall level of the strategies.
  • A score of 53 to 67 indicates a high overall level of the strategies.
  • A score of 68 to 75 indicates a very high overall level of the strategies.

 

 

A high score on XX usually suggests that you already possess some positive self-leadership tendencies. A high score on XX indicates that you believe you are exercising these self-influence methods. Whether you are using them effectively is a different matter.
