You are a leader who ... focuses on problems

Congrats! By completing this quiz, you’ve proven just how committed you are to your leadership. So what type of a leader are you? Well, you might be controlled by your emotions more than necessary. Getting angry helps sometimes but it’s detrimental in the long-term. Although you can get a lot done in the short-term, this leads to burn out, lack of engagement, and damage to yourself and your relationships.Work on releasing your emotions and reframing your assumptions and interpretations. Success in leadership can be achieved by power, not just by force. “Do I want to be right or do I want peace." – Marianne WilliamsonThree Tips to Improve as a Leader..1. Identify and control emotionsFeeling emotions such as anger, frustration, pride, and resentment is normal. Emotions are part of the things that make us human. The next time you feel these strong emotions pause for a second to build awareness. What are you feeling? Where do you feel it? How did it arise?Next, get clear on how you really want to respond. Feelings are reactions. Your response does not have to be driven by them automatically. You have the control and power to pause, take a deep breath and decide how to proceed. Give it a try.2. Move beyond win-loseHow we see the world is a matter of perspective. What seems bad for one person is a blessing for another. Life does not have to be a zero-sum game. Your winning does not mean someone needs to lose. Ponder on this and see how you can create more winning situations for yourself regardless of the result for others. 3. Understand the perspective of othersWhat others do makes sense for who they are. Just like what you do makes sense for who you currently are. The next time you have difficulty communicating with or understanding someone pause and try to rationally figure out why they are behaving the way they do. Who am I to Talk about Leadership?

You are a leader who ... cooperates with others

Congrats! By completing this quiz, you’ve proven just how committed you are to your leadership. So what type of a leader are you? Well, you might be rationalizing things too much and pushing on, just to get things done. You are also a good teammate but might compromise just to move things forward. Finding ways to motivate others by releasing stress and coping is beneficial, but it is only the starting point. The same applies for taking responsibility for yourself and your life. Work on helping others and providing service. You already have the mind, now add the heart. The two of them elevate leadership to new heights. “Nothing is either good or bad. It's thinking that makes it so." – William ShakespeareThree Tips to Improve as a Leader..1. Serve othersGetting things done and progressing forward is great, even if it involve compromise and lacks concern. This is what brought you to your current success, after all. However, what brought you here won't get you there. How do you progress? Add service to others. Find ways you can collectively accomplish things. The benefits from helping others are numerous. When you focus on others, you start taking little personally. Show real care to open your heart. Give it a try.2. Move to the heartLogic is powerful. Your smarts have helped you before and will keep on serving you in the future. However, the head is also the place where manipulation and letting go happen. These are mental processes which prevent you from achieving higher results. Move to the heart to elevate yourself. Feelings such as gratitude, caring, trust, and even love will open new perspective for you as a leader. 3. Understand your valuesWhat do you value? If you haven't thought about it, now is a good time to consider it. And after you identify your values, see how they connect to your current situation. How can you align your leadership with your values? Does work look a bit more purposeful now? Who am I to Talk about Leadership?

You are a leader who ... nurtures people

Congrats! By completing this quiz, you’ve proven just how committed you are to your leadership. So what type of a leader are you? Well, you might be too concerned for others and trying to fix them. You probably want to make the world better and take little personally. However, you could be overly sympathetic and compromise your own wellbeing.Work on taking care of yourself and also not judging others. If you serve without “fixing” others and see the opportunity in the challenge, your leadership and life will improve dramatically. “A day away acts as a spring tonic. It can dispel rancor, transform indecision, and renew the spirit." – Maya AngelouThree Tips to Improve as a Leader..1. Care for yourselfYou are already operating at a high leadership level. Being loyal, trusting and nurturing others is wonderful and helps you achieve a lot. However, don't forget about yourself. How can you be at your best if you don't take care of yourself and your needs.The benefits of setting healthy boundaries and understanding when it's time to assist others are twofold. On one hand, you elevate your own energy, power and productivity. On the other hand, you allow people to grow without you jumping in to solve things for them. Build your healthy boundaries. Give it a try.2. Challenge = OpportunityLife is all about perspectives. We tend to label things as good and bad, right and wrong, warm and cold. The same principle applies to the situations you face as a leader. A simple shift of mind can change a challenge to an opportunity. Think about it. What was the last "challenge" you faced? What came out of it? Can you reframe it and see at least one opportunity in it? The next time you face a "challenge" ask yourself: "What's the opportunity here? What is possible now that this has happened?" 3. Create win-win situationsCreating win-win situations is something powerful leaders do. They find solutions which are extremely beneficial for all parties. The next time you are looking for a solution with your team identify your goals, the goals of the team, the goals of all others involved and brainstorm for ideas how to create a win-win solution. This approach will elevate you as a leader and the whole team to new heights . Who am I to Talk about Leadership? Let Me Introduce Myself...Hi leader, I’m Anna Angelova 👋 A bit about me?

You are a leader who ... empowers and inspires everyone

Congrats! By completing this quiz, you’ve proven just how committed you are to your leadership. So what type of a leader are you? Well, you might sometimes see too many opportunities and feel paralyzed. Life is more than a sequence of events. Seeing the full potential in everyone and finding opportunities are powerful characteristics which you already poses. Furthermore, your curiosity and transparency make you a leader people follow. Work on viewing life itself as an opportunity and also brining in more love and care. It might sound paradoxical but control is gained by not having to control and know. Trust the process of leadership.“What an adventure we will have, living!" – Peter PanThree Tips to Improve as a Leader..1. See life as an opportunityYour leadership is powerful and inspirational. The best leaders in the world posses your leadership characteristics. How can you grow from here? One thing you can do is start viewing life itself as an opportunity. What if you believed we are all connected and life is not just a serious of events? Can you start seeing the purpose in everything? Give it a try.2. Give up controlOne of the paradoxes of life is that once we give up control, we gain the ultimate control. You don't have to be in control and know everything. Stop trying it. You are a powerful leader. Trust the process and be confident that you are already equipped to handle whatever comes your way. 3. Overcome paralysis by analysisOne of the drawbacks of seeing opportunities in all challenges is that you can get stuck in overanalyzing the situation. Sounds familiar? How can you overcome this? Relate your decisions with your values. Use your core and holographic thinking (mind, heart, and gut) to make conscious decisions. Who am I to Talk about Leadership?
