Activity 6.5: Assessing Your Self-Leadership

The source of this scale is: C. C. Manz, Mastering Self-Leadership: Empower Yourself for Personal Excellence (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1992). Used with permission of the author.

      Indicate the extent to which each statement in this instrument describes you very well or does not describe you at all. Complete each item honestly to get the best estimate of your level of overall self-leadership as well as your levels on each specific component of self-leadership.
