Self-assessment is one of the most important tools in a manager's toolbox. Here are two self-assessments that may help you to determine areas of improvement.

Reflection on Leading

How emotionally intelligent are you?

Researchers and business experts agree that people with high emotional intelligence (or EQ) are consistently the top-performers in organizations. They're more resilient and adaptable when things go wrong, and as a result, they're held in the highest regard by their bosses, co-workers, employees and others. In fact, studies show that your EQ is a better predictor of your professional success than either your IQ or your technical skills. Take this self-assessment to gain an insight into your EQ level.

Are you cut out for supervision?

How well do you delegate?

If you are a manager or supervisor then you are entrusted with getting things done. And as a leader, that means getting things done through other people. Your challenge: other people don't always do things the way you would. Your dilemma: you can't achieve leadership success unless you achieve delegation success. Find out whether you have mastered the attitudes and beliefs to be a successful delegator.
