Seven Habits Analysis

For this task I will do a personal evaluation of my personal leadership style, the contingency model of leadership, and an overview of my scoring on the Seven Habits profile (Daft, 2014). The Seven Habits Profile was an interesting quiz to seek out one’s strengths and weaknesses. The profile had nine categories with twenty-seven questions in total scored from 1-Very Poor, 2-Poor, 3-Fair, 4-Good, 5-Very Good, and 6-Outstanding.
My scores for the profile are the following, the first section was Emotional Bank Account which I scored a 14, which was in the Very Good category. I feel I take people’s feelings very seriously and try to treat them with the utmost respect. Also, I try as much as humanly possible to keep promises and commitment
I like getting things done and find it hard to let go.

Second weakness is being too task orientated, I tend to want to do one thing at a time when sometimes multitasking may need to be involved. Like when I go on a field visit and need to speak to my patients’ family and my

nurse at the same time to gather information. Third weakness is being flexible in thinking. I had to learn as a nurse to let go of preconceived notions about people. I am still learning to let go with the flow and be flexible because as a nurse you must think outside the box.

By the first month end have a meeting with the case
