Understanding Your CWB Leadership Study Results

Your ability to understand and interpret others around you, then use this knowledge to effectively influence other people. Specifically, you are socially astute, sincere, have a strong interpersonal influence, and are skilled in networking. 

Your judgement of your capability to perform a specific task. With strong self-efficacy, you believe you can successfully take action to achieve a desired outcome. You are persistent and do not hesitate to take on challenges.

Your judgement of your capability to perform and thrive. It is not specific to a given task; it reflects your overall faith in yourself to succeed regardless of your actual ability in a given context.

Leaders set direction by inspiring others to believe in a vision or idea and align people by translating their vision into action and making it happen. Leaders motivate and empower by modeling their values and giving others a sense of belonging, idealism, and self-esteem. Leadership is not management and you do not need to hold a formal position of power to be a leader. It's about inspiration and impact.
