To be an effective supervisor or manager, you must have an extensive set of skills ranging from planning and delegation to communication and motivation. Because the skill set is so wide, it's tempting to build skills in the areas of management that you're already comfortable with. But, for your long-term success, it's wise to analyze your skills in all areas of management – and then to challenge yourself to improve in all of these areas.

This quiz seeks to help you to identify your areas of strength and weakness, so that you focus your attention and resources on the areas you need to develop your skills further.
