his week’s assignment has two parts. Please combine both parts into one document for submission:

Part I:

Begin by conducting research for scholarly sources on the topics of self-evaluation and personal reflection techniques for leaders. If you need assistance in searching the NCU Library, be sure to check out Learning the Library using the link provided in Course Resources. In 1-2 pages, discuss best practices related to self-evaluation and reflection for organizational leaders. Why do it? What are the benefits and drawbacks?

Part II:

To complete this part of the assignment, you will first need to take the leadership self-assessment (Clark, 2015) listed in the Books and Resources. After completing the assessment, carefully consider your scores. Then, write a self-reflection paper summarizing your strengths and opportunities for growth as suggested by your assessment results. What type of leader are you? Were you surprised by the results? What is the one area you feel you need to improve upon most? What can you do to improve your skills in that area? What else did the assessment make you think about? Since this part of the assignment is a personal reflection, you may use first person language such as I, me, mine, we, us, and our.

Length: 4-5 page paper, excluding title and reference pages

References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources properly cited within the body of your paper
