Leadership Compass Activity

The leadership compass is model designed based on the medicine wheel, or sacred hoop, in Native American culture. In this quick personal assessment you will examine your tendencies and preferences to determine your natural approach to leadership. 

Based on our natural leadership styles, each of us will have preferences in how we like to work, what unique skills we can bring to teams, and challenges that come with our preferences that are helpful to be aware of. It is important to remember that everyone can act in ways that align with each quadrant, but this will give us information about what our natural inclination is.  As you read through the information about your leadership style, what resonates with you?
