Leadership and Spiritual Skills

Questionnaire The two questionnaires were developed to gauge individuals on the skills that he or she maintains. The assessments were informative and provided insight about the leadership and spiritual gifts I am assumed to possess. Spirituality and leadership are two functions held in high regard, and if someone holds talents in both sectors that could produce a sleuth of positivity. According to the assessments, my top three spiritual gifts are exhortation, faith, and administration. In addition, I tested as an excellent leader. There is not a concrete manner in which someone should lead. A leader can be spiritual, good, evil, man, or woman.

Emotional intelligence will help me identify with individuals’ skills and how each person showed be handled.
Spiritual Gifts In the midst of completing the spiritual gifts questionnaire, I was thinking that I was not confident that I would receive positive feedback. My top three scores were exhortation, faith, and administration. The test provided controversy because my top gift on the spiritual questionnaire was eerily similar to my lowest rated skill in the leadership assessment. I am anticipated to have the capacity to encourage and build others up. In essence, motivating the others who are wavering in faith is a strongpoint and something that I can utilize in management. Oftentimes, individuals in the business world need to be encouraged or reassured about doing his or her job. With the gift of exhortation I may successfully uplift someone’s spirit and help improve upon his or her trial. Hebrews states, “Do not neglect to
