Final Project: Leadership Assessment
Earlier in the course, you were asked to informally evaluate your leadership skills and qualities. In this Final Project, you use formal assessment tools to identify your areas of strength and areas in which you need further development. You may use the results of this self-assessment to develop a plan to gain the skills and experiences that will help you move toward achieving your short- and long-term professional goals and objectives.
Using the assessment tools provided in Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, conduct a self-assessment of your own leadership characteristics, style, and skills. Complete at least four assessment tools for this self-assessment. In addition, select one tool to give to a colleague or supervisor so he or she can assess your leadership skills.
Final Project (4 pages in APA format)
Evaluate your current leadership characteristics, style, and skills based on the assessment tools you and your colleague/supervisor completed. Be sure to:
· Include actual results or summaries of the results you collected using these tools
· Identify personal leadership strengths as well as areas for improvement
· Include references to the leadership concepts covered in this course and relevant issues related to ethics, diversity, and power in the organizational setting
Note:
To prepare for this assignment, the instructions say, “Using the assessment tools provided in Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, conduct a self-assessment of your own leadership characteristics, style, and skills. Complete at least four assessment tools for this self-assessment. In addition, select one tool to give to a colleague or supervisor so he or she can assess your leadership skills.” You can find these assessment tools in the version of the Northouse book posted in Doc Sharing on Blackboard.
Also, you need to have a colleague or supervisor complete one of these assessments evaluating your leadership skills.
To write the paper, you should include information from both your self-assessments and the assessment your colleague/supervisor conducted regarding your skills. You can find an exemplar paper in the Doc Sharing section of Blackboard.
For this paper, the only source you need to use is the Northouse textbook
