Part One:

Deliverable 1 - DISC Assessment

Competency

This competency will allow you to demonstrate your ability to discover leadership skills as an individual, group, or at the organizational level and identify these skills through self-practice.

Instructions

For today's workforce, collaborating with colleagues is essential for success. Your organization wants you to take a DISC assessment to learn more about your personality style. DISC is a personality assessment tool that focuses on behavioral characteristics that are grouped together into four personality styles. People with similar personality scores tend to exhibit specific behavioral characteristics common to that profile. Each of these personality styles has unique preferences for communication, behavior, and leadership. Being aware of your preferences allows you to better understand how you might react in certain situations. Being aware of others' preferences allows you to better communicate with those personality styles.

  • Conduct an Internet search for a free DISC personality test; take the test and save your results, including the web site's URL.
    • You will use these results for reflecting on how your personality can affect your decisions in a professional environment.
  • Summarize the feedback you receive.
    • Define the four personality types and how they relate to you.
    • How will you use the understanding of different personality styles to better communicate and lead?
    • How could your personality affect your decisions in a professional environment?

Deliverable 2 - How Do I Become the Leader I Want to Be?

Competency

This competency will allow you to analyze leadership styles and behaviors and apply them to a personal and/or professional life experiences.

Instructions

Leadership is either formal or informal, and it is important to discover which one is a better fit for you as you grow in your career. Your company leaders are asking you to identify a specific leadership role that you would someday like to fill (e.g., Supervisor, Manager, Vice President, Individual Contributor, etc.). Once you have determined the type of leader you would like to become, create an action plan for your career to achieve such a position.

  • In order to successfully determine the type of leader you want to become, answer the following questions in one to two pages:
    • Would you describe yourself as a formal or informal leader (and explain traits you possess that would make you a successful formal or informal leader)?
    • What are some skills you should develop and tactics you should use to be an effective leader?
  • Create a one-page action plan that addresses the following questions:
    • Who will you work with as a mentor (just identify the position of a potential mentor) to help you grow into this leadership position and why?
    • What steps will you take to become the type of leader you want to be in your career and how will you achieve your action plan?

CONTEMPORARY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES

Part One
The Four personality types
As per the test, I am more of an influencer who seeks to persuade others through
openness and by building long lasting work relationships. The test describes my personality
as warm, convincing, enthusiastic, and optimistic. The dominance personality on the other
hand emphasizes on accomplishment of results by accepting challenges posed by opponents.
I relate to this personality since I am confident in my work and I focus on accomplishing
results. However, unlike my collaborative style, this personality describes overcoming
oppositions through forcefulness. A steady leader on the other hand values co-operation and
sincerity. I also identify with this personality due to my collaborative approach. The
conscientious personality is based on an independence approach to tasks by applying
analytical and tactful skills to problem resolution. I also identify with this personality due to
my attention to details and fear of making a wrong decision.
Using the personality styles to better communicate and lead
