How well do you think you are doing at meeting the expectation?

What might others think about how well you are meeting the expectation?

SCALE: 1 = significant improvement needed; 2 = slight improvement needed; 3 = skilled/competent; 4 = talented; 5 = outstanding: a role model

My Scores:

Scoring yourself: Add your total for each column. Asingle column score of 36 to 40 suggests that you are doing an exceptional job and meeting others’ expectations of a leader who values people. A column score of 30 to 35 indicates that you have some areas for improvement; on issues as important as these, I believe leaders should strive to be “outstanding: a role model.” Below 30 indicates a danger area, and you may be chipping away at your credibility. Adiscrepancy of more than 9 points between the two column totals indicates a possible gap in perception worth investigating. If your “How do you think you are doing?” score is higher than your “What might others think?” score, your intentions may be better than your actions. If your “What might others think?” score is higher, you may not be giving yourself enough credit for a job well done.
