The skills were divided into three areas; technical, human, and conceptual. (p.68) I scored high in human skill which did not surprise me.

I thought I did better than moderate when working with ideas and forming them into reality. I plan on improving this.

A person who is a good leader may have many different qualities. First, if you’re a leader you must accept that not everyone will agree with your stance on issues, and you may not even get credit for all your accomplishments as a leader.
