Moving from being Too Quick to Qualified

Current leadership skill-set: Quick Moving. The danger of a leader moving too quickly can cause for things to be over-looked as discussed previously. Directive leaders have been known to move too quickly causing mistakes in leadership (Li, Liu, & Luo 2018).

How to build qualifications as a strength: To become qualified in a skill-set a leader must study the area of need as much as possible.

Moving from being Passive to Persistent

Current leadership skill level: Passive. A passive leader can be considered unconcerned or unaware. According to Boddy, Galvin, & Ladyshewsky (2009) managers in financial fields have been known to have no emotional care for team members which resembles a passive behavior.

How to build persistence as a strength: To build persistence a leader must practice persistence and not passiveness. Leaders must be intentional in their duties to lead a team.

Moving from being an Overlooker to being Observant

Current leadership skill level: Over-looker. A leader who over-looks details may not understand what they are looking for. This skill-set references back to being knowledgeable.

How to build being observant as a strength: A leader who understands their role will be an observer such as a charismatic leader. To build this strength a leader can show themselves as a risk-taker (Conger & Kanungo, 1987).
