LEADERSHIP SELF-AWARENESS
Case Assignment
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 they’ve 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 you’ve read about in this module and your
score on the quizzes. More specifically, write a four to five page paper
addressing the following questions:
- Take the Values in Action (VIA)
Inventory of Strengths that was discussed in the background materials.
This instrument is available for free but you need to register: https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register
If you can find a free variation of the Strengthsfinder survey online you take this one instead, but the “official” Strengthsfinder survey from Gallup is not free. Report and discuss your results. Were your results surprising or what you expected to find? [One half to one page in length] - Now take the Emotional Intelligence
Self-Assessment in Chapter 3 of Sterret (2006) as well as the Leadership
Assessment in this chapter. 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]
- Now we get to the main heart of the
assignment. Based on what you have learned in this module and the quizzes
you took above, give some specific examples of how you will improve your
leadership skills. Your examples should be based on both your results on
the two quizzes, and from the required readings. Make sure to cite at
least two of the required readings in your answers, and support your answers
with specific results from the quizzes that you took. [One and a half to
two pages]
- Finally, discuss the main
limitations of the quizzes you took and the concepts you read about for
this module. What information is missing from the quizzes you took? What additional
important aspects of leadership development are not covered in this
material or quizzes? What else do you think you need to know about
yourself in order to improve your leadership skills? [One page]
