Rank yourself on a 1-10 scale on the following leadership traits, skills or attitudes.  (1 is poor 10 is perfect).  Then total your score.  Even if you give yourself a 9 on every item even with a score of 90 that still indicates room for improvement.  If you believe you are a 10 in any area you might want to re-think it.
