...State University Introduction This paper will help demonstrate my personal conflicts through a series of analytical self-assessments. My personal reports will focus on six different self-assessments, each with an evaluation of feedback, giving me a look closer into my results. I will give examples of my scores with personal conflicts I’ve dealt with. Based from personal conflicted experiences and my personal background, I will use the remaining portion of my report to discuss the importance of acknowledging self-conflicts, self-personality, and self-awareness. Assessments To begin, I have partaken in several assessments to help me where I fit among those found with my studies, ranging from men between the ages of 18-65. Its ranks brought insight to where I feel I belonged.

It also helps to identify behaviors that we may display in challenging and difficult situations (Boyatzis, 2007). Also known as Emotional Intelligence (EI), the EI measures the behaviors that matters to those who desire to be effective leaders and to the relationships of others who come in contact with them. The ESCI can also be a tool for college and post-graduate students to be successful as a leader by assisting to help to work out what they may want from life, what they want from life, learn with others in groups and also help to draw on their own resources (Boyatzis, 2007). This assessment has also been used for the building up of leaders in the workplace with the development of programs that are designed specifically to “1) educate people about the relevance of emotional intelligence in the workplace, 2) assess their relative strengths and weaknesses, and 3) provide a framework to develop and enhance their ability to interact with others with greater emotional intelligence (Sala, 2005, pp. 1)”.

...Grand Canyon University: MGT605 April 2, 2013 EQ Assessment Emotional Intelligence (IE) is an important part of the social and business world. IE can be described as ability to understand, control, and evaluate emotions. Understanding and ability to manage the emotions is important, because emotion is characterizing person’s emotional intelligence.

The results revealed that my EQ was high on first quiz and above the average on the second one. I learned that I am strong in Self-Management; I am skilled at interpreting, understanding, and acting upon my emotions. I can keep disruptive emotions and impulses under control.

This requires an ability to connect with them on a personal level for unlike in the past, an organization that is successful understands there are many facets in effective management that go beyond mere job performance.

The results ranged dramatically in some areas with some coming in around the same. Below are the findings of each employee’s response within the respective categories. How Satisfied Am I With My Job?

...management roles. Personality and leadership can affect individual’s professional and career development. There are many assessments online that can help you determine your personality type and leadership style. According to Ledlow & Coppola (2014), “To take the first step, gaining an understanding of your personality type, leadership style, and associated leadership skills is paramount. It matters what you know, who you know, and perhaps most importantly, what you know about yourself” (p. 24). True leaders should be able to discuss their leadership style to others. Rebecca Bauer (2012) presented four questions to use when trying to understand your personality type “What is your energy source? How do you perceive and understand? And how do you make decisions?”. How do you organize your life and interact with the outside world. I used several assessments from the text to determine my personality type and leadership style. Emotional Intelligence, Hemispheric Dominance, Type A, Type B, Type A/B Personality, Jungian, and the Leadership Style test. Using these assessments allowed me to understand the pros and cons of my leadership style and personality type.

...Reflective Leadership Plan Donald Graham University of Phoenix Reflective Leadership Plan I have had many leadership courses throughout my life, this course Leadership Theories and Practice has been the most profound for me. The theories and self-assessments have caused me to reflect on my current knowledge and application of leadership style and theories. I have discovered that my skills and mind set as it relates to leadership needs to develop and grow into the person and the leader I wish to be. I have developed the following action plan for the development and improvement of my leadership skills. Leadership Theory The assessment of my current leadership style or theory is the situational approach. Clawson (2006) described a situational leader as one who is concerned about the contextual factors of the nature of work required (p. 386). According to Hersey and Blanchard as quoted by (Clawson, 2006) the situational theory can be identified using a two dimensional grid of task orientation and people orientation. The situational approach used a contingent pattern of task and relations behavior with little evidence that this approached increased the effectiveness of the leader (Yukl, 2006). I have been an action or task orientated leader to this point in my life. I want to become a transformational leader to realize effective leadership. Yukl (2006) described a transformational leader as a leader that affects their followers to make necessary self-sacrifices...

...Self-Assessment Personality is what makes a person. Personalities are traits that a person exhibits. How can you measure personality? There are several ways that an organization or manager can forecast what type of person would be best for a certain job. Independent self-surveys are available for managers to predict how an individual’s behavior will be in the workplace. For this assignment, three family members were asked to take self-assessment tests. Self-assessment tests help a person examine their values, access their work environment, and help a person make uniformed decisions about their current lifestyle. Self-assessment can guide you and steer you to implementing a realistic game plan and achieve your goals. The first set of tests is based on emotions. How Are You Feeling Right Now This scale measures whether a person has positive or negative emotions. On the outside someone may appear happy and carefree, but are struggling on the inside. For this assessment, three family members were given this assessment and the results show that all three people had positive emotions. One family member had just seen her first grandchild so her first five answers were quite positive. The other two family members had the exact same answers which did not surprise me since they are mother and daughter. People with positive emotions are more creative, have a high level of job satisfaction. People with negative emotions are less motivated and need encouragement to boost their...

...Management Plan Performance in an organization is important to the running of a successful business. Three employees at Riordan Manufacturing were given the Pearson Prentice Hall Self-Assessment to evaluate their skills, abilities, and interests. All three employees scored a 65 when asked how satisfied they are with their job. This low number may indicate that they have a negative genetic predisposition towards life. Not surprisingly, each employee hit the median range of 35 when asked if they were engaged in their job. When a person scores high in this range, it usually means that they are more satisfied with their job and the commitment to their job. Emotions that people experience have an influence on his or her behavior in an organization. In general, people and organizations benefit from positive emotions. Both positive and negative emotions can be contagious. Displaying positive emotions around others can put them in a good mood, while displaying negative emotions around others can put others in a bad mood (Robbins, 2008). Due to scoring on the lower side of being satisfied with their jobs and the median range with their engagement, it is possible that these three employees could represent a negative impact on the performance of the organization. All three employees have a high emotional intelligence which affects self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills (Robbins, 2008). Only employee A scored high as being a deliberate decision maker...
