Benchmark - Self-Assessment and Reflection 

For this assignment, you have  the opportunity to take a variety of self-assessments to learn more  about yourself and identify your assets and weaknesses as a leader. This  will assist you in discovering how you can improve your own  self-leadership skills. You will be asked to think critically about your  results and submit a reflection as directed below. As a starting point,  review the resources on conscious capitalism at:  http://www.consciouscapitalism.org/. There are several helpful  resources, including white papers and speech transcripts, available  under the Content tab on the main page of this site. Conduct additional  research beyond this website on the principle of conscious leadership.

Refer  to the "Self-Assessment Links" resource in Topic Materials and complete  each test. Be sure to document the results of each assessment to assist  you in completing the reflection portion of the assignment below.

After completing the self-assessments, write a minimum 1,000-1,250 word reflection in which you discuss the following:

1. Explain  the characteristics of conscious leadership as defined by Mackey and  Sisodia. Provide citations to strengthen your claims.


2. Choose  two historical management theories and explain their influence on the  field of organizational behavior. Provide citations to strengthen your  claims.


3. Describe the importance of self-awareness,  self-concept, and emotional intelligence and the role they play in  enabling effective conscious leadership and effective self-leadership.  Provide citations to strengthen your claims.


4. Briefly summarize  the results of each assessment you completed. In general, do you believe  the results represent who you are as a leader? How will the results  inspire you to be a conscious leader? Explain.


5. Briefly, conduct  a self-reflection in which you answer the following questions: What  insights have you gained about yourself after taking the assessments?  How could this knowledge influence your values, attitude towards others,  and how you approach new tasks in the workplace? What have you learned  about what it takes to lead others or how you respond to the management  tactics of others within the workplace? What have you learned about your  ability to lead others within the workplace?
