3 full pages of content and 1 Reference page of 4 Scholary Articles to support paper in APA format due today

In this module, you explored models and tools used to assess the internal context of an organization. Both leadership and intercultural assessments are valuable for a global leadership development (GLD) process. Since this course focuses on the special capacities that are needed when leading across areas of diversity, you will pay particular attention to intercultural or global leader assessments. For this assignment, you will review a case study and write a 3–4-page report assessing a company’s needs with respect to GLD.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet for research, select two (2) recent, scholarly articles and two (2) assessment tools for use in this assignment.

Directions

Part 1: Pre-Reading

• Identify and utilize two additional scholarly articles regarding assessments and process models, and at least two assessment tools of interest (at least 4 sources in total) when writing the report below. You may also want to visit the websites of any assessment tools you find of interest.

Part 2: Report

Cover the following in your report:

• Explain the role of assessments in evaluating a company’s needs with respect to global leadership development. Select and analyze at least two specific assessment tools (one individual and one group) that you would recommend. Be sure to consider validity and reliability. Explain how and why each would be used.
• Consider how Pemancar might want to use these two assessments in their GLD efforts. Explain your recommendations and support them with scholarly resources.
• Analyze how the MBI process could be used in this case to enhance their understanding of the context and cultural factors present. Make a recommendation for how, with whom, and for what purpose the MBI could be used. Don’t forget to explain the MBI process in your analysis.

Keep in mind that GL assessment tools and process models can be utilized for addressing both international and domestic diversity.

Recommendation

You may find it especially useful to take the IES assessment yourself. It will give you a better understanding of what the IES measures and how it is used. It will need to be set up by your instructor before you can take the assessment. In addition, there is a fee to take the assessment, which is not covered by your tuition fee. Please contact your instructor if you are interested.

You should utilize at least four additional reliable sources (two articles and two assessment tool websites) in your research.
