This assignment is taken from Chapter $1,$ page $9$ of your textbook. Be sure to read all of

Chapter $1$ before completing the quiz below.

Here is an opportunity for you to think through your current level of skill or potential ability to

carry out successfully the eleven leadership roles already described. Each role will be listed

along with a reminder of one of its key aspects. Check next to each role whether it is an activity

you could carry out now, or something for which you will need more experience and preparation.

For those activities you check as $$capable of doing it now,$$ jot down an example of your

success in this area. For example, a person who checked $$capable of doing it now$$ for Role $7,$

technical problem solver, might have written: $$I helped the restaurant where I was an assistant

manager bring in more revenue during off$-$peak hours. I promoted an early$-$bird supper for

senior citizens.$$

Few readers of this book will have had experience in carrying out most of these roles. So relate

the specific roles to any leadership experience you may have had, including full$-$time work, part$-$

time work, volunteer work, clubs, committees, and sports.

After you have typed an X in the box for each of the $11$ leadership roles, be sure to answer the

follow$-$up questions at the end of this document.

Then upload this completed document to Canvas by the due date.
