Leadership Legacy
Take the Leadership Legacy assessment. It is one of many that will give insight on your ‘natural orientation’ at work and with people. Your natural role will give you a broad indication of the types of legacies you are building as a leader. With that natural (or “default”) role in mind, ask yourself: In what way is my leadership affecting the people who work with and for me? How do I affect the way they work, the way they think, the way they approach a task at work? How does my natural style affect their style? If you do not have work experience, consider these same questions in a team, family or set of friends.
