Slpi Analysis

SLPI ANALYSIS REPORT

QUESTION 1

* Do the behavioral indicators for one of the practices consistently appear highly (or not highly) ranked?

* If yes (or no), explain.

Careful review of my SLPI Assessment shows that the behavioral indicators closely linked to the leadership practice Enable Others to Act consistently ranked the highest. I rated a possible 27 of 30 in this area. Further review shows that, of the six related behavioral indicators, I rated 5 of 5 in three behaviors and 4 of 5 in the remaining three.

Respect for others is part of the foundation upon which my life is built; it is something that I value first and foremost. I did not have to think long and hard to determine whether this behavioral factor applied to me as an individual. Nor did it require a survey or a graduate level leadership course. Respect for others is part of the foundation upon which my life is built. It’s been firmly instilled in me since birth. As a child, my mother would constantly reiterate that you must treat others the way you want to be treated. That abiding principle has stuck and nothing can or ever will change it.

Another behavioral indicator that undoubtedly ranked high is the ability to actively listen to diverse viewpoints. I’ve been taught, and have also learned through experience, that one person seldom has the best ideas all of the time. I strongly believe in the old axiom, “Two heads are better than one”. It has held true...
