In this Module 1 SLP assignment, you will be taking a self-assessment on various topics relevant to cultural leadership, and the key here is self-awareness and growth. This promotes self-awareness through regular reflection, and you will gain the most from honestly answering the questions on the assessment. The SLP will be submitted with each module and will contain your thoughts, feelings, and insights concerning what you have learned from the assessment, the course readings, discussions, and Case activities.
In this module, you will be assessing your CQ. Please fill out the following questionnaire: The Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS).
After completing the self-assessment, address the following in your 2 full-page (excluding title and references pages) paper:
- What was your score on each of the four factors?
- What does this tell you about your capacity for task performance and adjustment (strengths and weaknesses)?
- How does this assessment complement what else you have learned in this module (from the readings, Case, Discussion)?
