Did you expect your score to be high or low? Any surprises? Are your stronger or milder points an asset? Does the self-assessment scale or rating accurately describe a trait, characteristic, behavior, cognition, or another aspect of your leadership? If so, which one(s) and why?

leadership self-reflections

As a individual with a higher leadership potential. Consider the questions below and compose a 200-word minimum reflective perspective summary about your results. Use the self-assessment document you completed from the textbook as your guide.

Did you expect your score to be high or low? Any surprises? Are your stronger or milder points an asset?
Does the self-assessment scale or rating accurately describe a trait, characteristic, behavior, cognition, or another aspect of your leadership cognition? If so, which one(s) and why? If the self-assessment is inaccurate, then how do you account for the difference between what it measures and your leadership style?

Based on the result of this self-assessment, do you need to make a change in a leadership behavior or cognition (way of thinking) that will improve your skills and make you a better leader? How would you start to make this change? If no change is needed, then how do you plan to use the information from the assessment?

Your self-assessment summary should be a comprehensive and well-organized analysis that clearly relates the self-assessment measurements and results to your personal leadership style, traits, characteristics, behaviors, and cognition. The analysis should be clear and logical. It should be grammatically sound and free of spelling errors. This is one of many leadership self-reflections in this course.

Sirius (A) has white dwarf companion star Sirius (B). The system is known to have a semi-major axis of 20
au and a period of 50 years. Doppler shifts show that at any given time Sirius (B) moves twice as fast as
