LEADERSHIP SELF-AWARENESS

1. For this first Case Assignment, your task is to apply some of the leadership development tools that you read about in the background materials to your own personal development. As a warning, this assignment as well as several other assignments will involve taking a lot of surveys. Of course surveys are not the only tools used in leadership development, but they are one of the most popular tools and many leadership coaching companies charge a lot of money for the surveys that theyve developed. Fortunately some of the surveys discussed in the background readings are available for free. The purpose of taking the quizzes are both for use in your leadership development, and also to get a taste of what various leadership coaches out there are doing and charging their clients for.

Make sure to thoroughly review the background readings before writing your paper. The main tasks in this assignment are A) read the background materials, B) take some self-assessment quizzes, and C) write up a self-development plan based on what youve read about in this module and your score on the quizzes. More specifically, write a four to five page paper addressing the following questions:

2. Discuss how you scored on each of the different elements of Emotional Intelligence as well as your Leadership Assessment. Report and discuss your results. Were your results surprising or what you expected to find? [One half to one page in length]

3. Finally, discuss the main limitations of the quiz you took and the concepts you read about for this module. What information is missing from the quiz you took? What additional important aspects of leadership development are not covered in this material or quiz? What else do you think you need to know about yourself in order to improve your leadership skills? [One page]
