2.2 Exploration-self-assessment
In order for you to use your executive skills profile to best effect，you first need to carry out some self-assessment. Determine what your profile looks like and then note the strengths and weaknesses of others you interact with routinely．This will ultimately provide you with clues on how best to build your own career and how to work effectively with others．
2.2.1 Finding your own strengths and weaknesses
To measure your competency in each of the twelve areas and develop your own profile, consider these points and rate yourself on the questions for each area. The rating scale to use is:
1. strongly disagree
2. somewhat disagree
3. not sure
4. somewhat agree
5. strongly agree
Come up with a score for each skill area. Since there are five questions per skill, the highest you can score is 25. You can then identify your two or three areas of strength and weakness.
Skill 1-self-restraint: This skill is about having the capacity to think before you speak or act. It is the opposite of what is commonly referred to as“putting your foot in your mouth.”A person with self-restraint takes a methodical approach and thinks everything through logically rather than being impulsive.
I always take my time before making up my mind.
I am generally tactful and diplomatic.
I usually think before I speak.
I always make sure I have the facts before I act.
I seldom make comments that make others uncomfortable.
Skill 2-Working Memory: This is your ability to hold information in your mind while you perform other complex tasks. People with good working memories remember appointments or even the items they need to buy without using written lists. The opposite of good working memory is usually described as being absent-minded.
I remember facts, dates and details readily.
I am good at remembering my commitments.
I naturally remember to complete my tasks.
I always keep sight of the goals I want to accomplish.
When busy, I can see both the big picture and fine details.
Skill 3-Emotion Control: This skill is all about ensuring your emotions do not get in the way of what you are trying to accomplish．When you have high levels of emotional control，you do not get sidetracked and you find ways to dwell on the positives of each situation you encounter．People who are low in emotional control are very sensitive to criticism and go into situations expecting to fail.
I can keep my emotions in check while on the job.
I usually handle confrontations calmly.
Little things at work don’t distract me from the task at hand.
When frustrated or angry, I keep my cool.
I defer my personal feelings until the task is completed.
Skill 4-Focus: Focus is the ability to stick with something through to completion. When you have executive focus, you become immersed in a task and filter out distractions. You will have a reputation for meeting your deadlines. If you are low on focus, you will get easily sidetracked by frivolous matters.
When I have a job to do, I easily avoid distractions.
Once I start something, I work at it until it is finished.
I find it easy to stay focused on my work assignments.
When interrupted, I quickly get back to work again.
I attend to my tasks, even when they seem tedious.
Skill 5-Task Initiation: Those who are strong in this area find it easy to begin new tasks. This is the opposite of procrastination. People with strengths in task initiation will find it easy to start new projects and will want to tackle assignments right away rather than putting things off until the very last moment. A good indicator of strength in this area is you hit the ground running each morning rather than needing to psych yourself up.
