Purpose
The goal of this Unit 2 Individual Assignment is to build on your Unit 1 Individual Assignment by assessing how your emotional intelligence supports or augments your leadership style. This assignment will also facilitate your Unit 2 Team Assignment where you will compare each other’s leadership styles and abilities and choose a leader for your team who will lead you through creating a mock communication plan. Self-awareness of your own emotional intelligence will strengthen your efforts as a teammate in this class and your professional project manager relationships.
Task
Your submitted assignment should be approximately 500 words long and include:
- A self-analysis of your own degree of emotional intelligence and an introspective explanation for that assessment.
- Discuss whether you believe you need to evolve your degree of emotional intelligence. If so, how do you plan to go about doing that. If not, why not?
- An informal assessment of whether your current degree of emotional intelligence supports or augments your current leadership style, and
- A reflection on how evolving your degree of emotional intelligence would further augment (or possibly transform/change) your leadership style.
- Include at least 3-5 references from course readings or your own outside research. The 500-word count does not include your references.
