Examples Of Personal Assessment

My Personal Assessment In preparation to determine what I believe are my personal strengths and weaknesses as a leader, I made a list of experiences where I believe I had to exercise leadership in the past three years. As I was developing the list I determined three areas that are completely different but require leadership. The first is leadership needed within my coursework here at USU. I have had numerous group projects and assignments over the past year which have had varying degrees of success. The second is leadership needed within my everyday relationships.
