Would you like to know how you are doing as a leader in your field?  In the field of business there is a philosophy known as leadership 360 degree feedback.  This is a way for people to get feedback from their closest peers, family, and friends to see how they are doing as a leader.  I have compiled some questions that you can give to your peers.  These are questions that I took from a recent survey that we took on our team.  I am going to use this to assess how other people perceive my leadership abilities.  This is a leadership web done by Greg Shelley in 2006.  Try to have a few of your closest friends take this test and see how they rate you as a leader in your organization.  Explain to them that a score of 1 is the lowest score possible and a score of 10 is the highest score possible.  Have them give you explanations in each area and possibly suggestions on how you can improve in each of these areas.
