leadership in analysis

Take an objective look at your leadership style by conducting a SWOT analysis.  Create your own personal leadership S.W.O.T. analysis for your job, family or student related activities. Please see the matrix (S.W.O.T example(1).PNGPreview the document) from the week 1 presentation and provide three examples for each quadrant (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). You may use the criteria examples provided if applicable or make up your own.

Also, refer to the Tor article and identify which of the 6 leadership styles best characterize you.  What did you learn about yourself through these self-assessments?  What, if anything, surprised you about the results of your analyses?  How will your findings affect your efforts and success as a data and analytics leader?
