The PLI curriculum is built on the 10 Essentials of Leadership. If you are teaching the curriculum this year or if you are just wanting a guide for developing your own leadership abilities, the following 10 questions serve as a primer for gaining insight into the importance of each Essential.
Vision - What am I doing today to be where I need to be in 5 years?
Integrity - How am I helping my team trust me?
Innovativeness - What are the challenges I am facing today that require more "solution thinking"?
Wise Judgment - Who do I consult with before making major decisions?
Service Mindedness - Do I have enough volunteerism in my life?
Goal Processing - Do I have challenging goals that stretch and grow my abilities?
Skill Assessment - What is my core strength and have I put myself in the position to do that everyday?
Emotional Maturity - Do I handle struggles and "failures" with grace and a growth attitude?
Fostering Relationships - What is the condition of my most important relationship?
Masterful Communication - Do I listen to others with focus?
Now, print this post and invest time thinking about, writing down and working on your answers. Good luck!

Wonderful advice, definitely something for leaders to think about. Managers should take time to stop and consider what qualities and behavior they are exhibiting that not only strengthens their skills, but also encourages employees to pay attention to them.
