The Self-Aware Leadership Compass Quiz – 9 Directions for Excellence
The Self-Awareness Compass Quiz is a tool to help you assess your own behaviour against the nine directions of the Self-Aware Leadership Compass. The nine directions, or ‘behaviours’ that are critical for you to develop and grow. It’s a tool I created to accompany my book, ‘The Self-Awareness Superhighway’. The Quiz helps you understand how you are received and perceived by others. It’s a simple but powerful way to get insights into how you impact the people around you. It combines a self-assessment with feedback from friends, family or colleagues to create a journey map. Your map will help point you in the right direction for becoming an excellent leader who strives to grow their self-awareness skills every day.
