Review your progress as the profile of yourstrengths and weaknesses (in terms of personality and character)begins to unfold and change in the positive direction.Always remain open to feedback on that score, howeverpainful it may be (I speak from experience!).In testing whether or not you have the basic qualities of leadership,you should ask yourself the questions in the followingchecklist.Checklist to test qualitiesYesNoDo I possess the above-mentioned seven qualities?(This ‘test’ will subsequently reveal whether or not you really do!)Have I demonstrated that I am a responsible person?Do I like the responsibility and the rewards of leadership?Am I well known for my enthusiasm at work? Have I ever been described as having integrity? Can I show that people think of me as a warm person?
