This is a reflection tool for growth, not an evaluation. Use it to assess your own leadership honestly across nine areas, including turning vision into action, following through on plans, decision-making, responding to feedback, self-reflection, ownership and sustainability, translating vision for others, operational discipline, and culturally grounded leadership centered on deaf and hard of hearing people and Deaf culture. Each area uses a four-level scale, from Emerging to Developing to Proficient to Exemplary, with space to explain your rating. Closing prompts help you name your strongest area, your biggest opportunity, and one concrete action to take next.
