Introduction One of the most critical mechanisms in maturing as a manager or leader is taking the time to conduct a self-assessment. By doing this you will learn a lot about yourself, good and bad. You will have the opportunity to recognize positive and negative habits and behaviors, and a chance to maximize strengths and minimize weaknesses. As I begin my self-assessment, I get to take a step back and see how I got where I am today, and where I would like to be in the future.

For me to be a part of the senior executive service and chief operating officer for a premier law enforcement agency being a transformational leader is paramount. Examining leadership from an individual and social perspective, it is entirely based on your attitude, your perception, and the way you live your life.

As stated previously, challenging opportunities and the chance to make a difference motivate me, I tend to run towards those prospects opposed to less challenging ones. Taking on the Executive MBA program at George Mason University, at this current time is an example of that. 360 Assessment In 2012, I enrolled in Stephen R. Covey’s course, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This course was a week-long and went into a detailed discussion on what Covey considered the seven habits of highly effective people, and a 360-feedback Benchmark report was used to rate my personal and interpersonal effectiveness. I had 26 people contribute feedback (self, 2 supervisors, 10 peers, and 13 direct reports) which would be useful to me within my organization and in my personal life. Below I go over the seven habits and the feedback I received. • Be Proactive. Being an effective person starts with being proactive in all facets of life. Our behavior is a product of the decisions we make not our circumstances.

I understand this more after reading my LPI 360 assessment. Although, the feedback was mostly positive I have identified ways to become a better more valuable leader. In the numbers portion I received pretty low scores in finding ways to celebrate accomplishments and overtly praising subordinates for their hard work. This resonated with me because I have felt unappreciated before and I d o not want my subordinates to think what they are doing is not important or appreciated.

First and foremost graduating on February 27th 2015 with Class 002 of The Massachusetts Trial Court Officer Academy has to be my initial goal. Without completing this academy all the additional personal goals I have set for myself will mean nothing. Setting personal goals is my way to achieve the hard to reach accomplishments I strive for. Although there may be one main objective, before I can reach it, I set many “step goals” to focus on along the way. My first set of “step goals” was the application, résumé, and interview process to which I sought out a person I knew whose job was to read résumés and conduct interviews for the company Lockheed Martin.

1. My philosophy of leadership is about collaboration and teamwork. Respecting and treating everyone the same, is key to supporting a good team atmosphere. I believe when a leader puts effort and care into assisting others, then their peers and followers will naturally want to support them.
