Using the Leadership Trait Questionnaire I would say that my perception of my strengths are that I am persistent, determined and diligent (Northouse, 2012).

I am able to interact and support my team, which can be challenging at times, while working on the completion of a large project. My role today involves a unique balance between leading my team and leading a project. I am able to be successful because we take the time to teach and empower our staff to complete the work we have which frees me up to work on the projects assigned to me.

Choosing to send complex direction or change via an email, without face to face communication, is a common leadership mistake and can have many untended and negative consequences down the road.
Secondly, the bonus point made by Adams is something that leaders need to have a solid understanding of too. According to Adams (
