Leadership Skills Self-Management, Part One
You can't lead others unless you can lead yourself.
This article is the second in a 6-part series where we outline the critical leadership skills required by individuals to successfully lead the self, others, and organizations.
In the first segment, we outlined the 12 Transforming Leadership Principles required prior to successfully implement leadership skills with individuals or groups.
In this article, we address the importance of self-management skills. Before we can lead others, we must be able to manage ourselves and our environment.
The impact of leadership is felt in every walk of life, from family dynamics and nonprofit organizations to governments, education, and small and large businesses.
As you complete the following section of CRG's Leadership Skills Inventory – Self on yourself, reflect on other leaders—those you respect and those you don't. In most cases, you will see a correlation between the skill rating you would give them and your level of respect for their leadership abilities.
Note: The following information is from Section One of CRG's Leadership Skills Inventory – Self, written by Terry Anderson, PhD, and Ken Keis, MBA, and based on Terry's book Transforming Leadership.
Review the following 12 Self-Management Skills© and rank your responses, using this scale.
The Scale |
This skill is new to me;
I cannot do it.
|
1 to 2 |
I understand the skill,
but I cannot do it. |
3 to 4 |
I can perform this skill,
but not reliably. |
5 to 6 |
I perform this skill well,
in many/most situations. |
7 to 8 |
I perform this skill well,
and I can teach others, too. |
9 to 10 |
Please note: When you answer 9 to 10 on the rating scale, you are stating you are not only competent in the skill, you can teach this skill to others.

12 Transforming Leadership
Self-Management Skills Assessment©
|
|
1 |
Grounding: You control your attention to focus in the present (not the past or the future). You are intentionally able to be in the present in any situation, rather than being distracted by your thoughts of previous or future events. |
|
2 |
Centering: You are awake and able to maintain clear awareness of self in the context of any external event. This includes being aware of all the details and dynamics of any given situation. The opposite is being oblivious to what is going on around you. |
|
3 |
Beliefs Clarification: You have a clear and consistent set of beliefs that you live and you communicate. |
|
4 |
Purpose Specification: You have identified and live out a personal statement of life purpose. |
|
5 |
Values Identification: You have identified, prioritized, and are living within a set of core values. |
|
6 |
Life Planning: You have formulated an integrated plan to live your entire life intentionally. |
|
7 |
Educational Goal-Setting: You have specific learning goals and a plan with a commitment to lifelong learning. |
|
8 |
Career Goal Setting: You clearly understand, set, and continuously implement motivating, challenging, and inspiring career objectives. |
|
9 |
Time Management: You plan, prioritize, and employ your time to the best use possible. |
|
10 |
Stress Management: You embrace effective stress-management techniques and methods in your daily life. |
|
11 |
Health Practices: You are healthy; you optimize your best nutritional, exercise, relaxation, and sleep practices. |
|
12 |
Positive and Optimistic Mental Attitude: You have high self-worth, you control and avoid negative (pessimistic) language and thinking, and you are able to see the positive possibilities, no matter the situation or condition. |
|
‹ Your Total |
Here is what the various totals are indicating.
| Total 12 to 24 |
Unaware of skills and not competent |
| Total 25 to 48 |
Aware of skills but not competent |
| Total 49 to 72 |
Aware of skills and inconsistently competent |
| Total 73 to 96 |
Consistently and unconsciously competent |
| Total 97 to 120 |
Consistently competent and can teach others |
- A score of 96 or higher indicates you have a high degree of confidence in your ability to perform the skills in the self-management section.
- A score of less than 96 indicates you likely would benefit from some type of coaching or training in the specific items where you responded with an answer of less than 8.
So how did you do?
- Did you have responses where you gave yourself less than a score of 8? If you are expected to train others in those specific skills, you should work to raise your score to 9 or 10.
- How can you improve and develop those "less than 8" areas? What training, coaching, and educational program(s) would help you increase your response and capabilities?
To determine what others think, an option is to have people provide you with 360° feedback, using CRG's Leadership Skills Inventory – Others.
Some individuals grossly overestimate or underestimate their leadership skills. Feedback from others helps add another perspective to the picture of a person's leadership skills ability.
How can you lead others if you can't lead yourself?
You can't.
The Leadership Skills Inventory – Self outlines 60 critical leadership skills segmented into 5 sections. Each section adds another level of sophistication and requirements. In future articles, we will cover these next four sections.
- Interpersonal Communications
- Coaching
- Consulting
- Organizational Development

Learn Why Professionals Prefer the Flexibility
of CRG's New Corporate Learning Center
The Corporate Learning Center is designed specifically for
- CRG's corporate and institutional clients;
- people responsible for larger groups; and
- individuals who wish to engage CRG's Online assessments to manage their employees, clients, and participants easily.
All corporate users are stored under the umbrella of your own Corporate Learning Center. This private center setup does not show any CRG site navigation.
Each Corporate Learning Center can support a hierarchy and permissions
of up to 10 levels—enough for a big international company to set up offices
in locations around the globe.
- In CLC's Management Console, you can create organizational units (groups), you can add users, and you can distribute assessments.
- As an administrator or an individual with permission, you can view the results of others and be notified that the assessments have been completed.
- Manager's JSI—more than one person can complete a JSI on a single job or position. Through this process, the hiring and/or succession team can determine the best style characteristics needed to fulfill a specific position. This assessment is accessible only via the CLC.
- Job Style Indicator Compatibility Reports—you can have several applicants' PSI results compared to a completed JSI. This option of comparing multiple applicants to one position is possible only through the CLC interface and digital dashboard.
Coming Soon: More Options for the CLC
- Style 360° assessments—someone can complete the PSI, SSI, or ISI on you. Watch for upcoming announcements.
The intuitive style built into the CLC makes the administration of CRG Online assessments and reports easy!
Corporate Learning Center Private Login
The CLC is your organization's private entrance into the CRG assessment center. No CRG site navigation or links will appear in your CLC. All participants in your CLC will login from your co-branded landing page, created specifically to serve you and your constituents.
Subscription Fees Apply to the CLC
Subscription fees are based on the number of users within the Corporate Learning Center. As the administrator, you can add or delete participants at your discretion.
