  • Assessment Instructions

    Note: The assessments in this course build upon one another and should be completed in sequence.

    Preparation

    Take the "Are You an Innovator or Executor?" quiz from Michael Glauser, which is linked in the assessment Resources.Consider what your research revealed in the previous assessment. Turn the focus on yourself and compare your knowledge, skills, and abilities to those of successful leaders and their innovative practices. You may even want to ask peers, friends, or leaders that know you for their appraisal of your aptitudes and innovative character. Most business people would like to be considered innovators, but how do you measure up? It's time to find out.

    Directions

    Consider your quiz results, research, and self-introspection and do the following in a 4–5-page analysis:
    • Analyze the results of your assessment—how your own strengths equip you—and how your weaknesses hinder your ability to support organizational innovation.
    • Assess your use of at least two leadership practices that you have used to spur innovation with your team or in another relevant context. If you have not had the opportunity to use leadership practices, discuss two leadership practices you could use and how you would use them to spark innovation.
    • Assess your own use of each of the five discovery skills. Analyze your strengths and weaknesses in using each skill in the context of innovation in the workplace. Provide at least two actions that would enhance your use for each discovery skill.
    Make sure to support your self-assessment with a minimum of three professional resources, not including the Michael Glauser quiz.

    Additional Requirements

    • Length: 3–4 double-spaced pages.
    • Font: 12 point, Times New Roman.
    • References: Minimum of 3 references using current APA style and formatting.

    Innovation and Leadership Self-Analysis
    Analyze the results of your assessment
    According to the leadership quiz, I am more of an Innovator than executioner based on
    the results of the quiz. There are a number of characteristics that are strengths that equip me for
    being an innovator. First I try to do things differently than they have been done in the past and
    this leads to innovative ideas and solutions being developed because the ideas are new and fresh
    it means that they will be innovative and different from what everyone else is doing which would
    give the business a competitive advantage over the rest. Another characteristic is that I like to redefine problems before working on solutions. Re-defining problems ensure that the problem
    solver is thinking outside the box and is viewing and analyzing the problem from multiple
    different angles. Re-defining the problem also ensures that innovative solutions to the problem
    will be identified as well as identifying more opportunities that can be gained by solving the

    Innovation is also characterized by questioning existing assumptions when trying to solve
    problems. An innovative leader should always question the Status quo and look outside the box
    when attempting to solve problems that they are facing or that they could potentially face. By
    questioning the pre-existing assumptions, an innovative leader will be capable of recognizing
    how effective the current solutions are and they will also be capable of developing alternative
    solutions to the same problem which will give them a competitive adv...
