Assessment Description . Self-Awareness is the key to becoming a great leader and manager

Each student is required to conduct the following personality self-assessment activities from the selfassessment library:  • Myers Briggs Profile • Costa & McCrae Big 5 Personality Traits • McClelland Needs Analysis • Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument

And then, document a “Critical Analysis” of their findings of their personality self-assessment activities .

The critical analysis requires you to: • Present a brief review of your personal self-assessment findings. • Present a detailed critical analysis of the findings.  A detailed critical analysis includes the use of 3rd party evidence and references to explain and support the meaning of your findings. • Reflect on your critical analysis, discuss what this means for you as a future leader or manager. • Outline an action plan based on these findings to develop your leadership skills for the future.

The individual report must include: • Executive Summary. • Table of contents. • Introduction (only one introduction is required for the report). (100 words) • Brief Review of your findings. (400 words) • Critical analysis of the four topics including a reflection on your future leadership skills. (600 words /150 per assessment) • One Action Plan using SMART processes based on perceived weaknesses. (300 words) • Conclusion (only one conclusion is required for the report). (100 words)

You can search the bibliography in the text for the original sources that support the text and these can be used. • Use tables and figures to assist you in communicating your work. • At least 4 different academic journal articles and reference books.

• Other sources of your choice: Blogs, newspapers, magazines or another Internet sources. Please ensure you use the KBS reference format when citing these sources. • Wikipedia and anonymous references are not to be used and do not count as an academic reference.
