Unit 3: Followership and Leadership Assessment Download, save, and complete the Leadership and Followership Style Test for Capstone. Then, complete the eight exercises of the Leadership Assessment Tool Inventory - Assess Your Skills6 In completing the assessments related to an organization, consider the type of organization in which you might desire to work if you are not working in your desired professional field and role currently. Given the research completed in Units 1 and 2, and your findings from these assessments:

1. What are your followership strengths and areas for improvement specific to your current or desired professional field and role?

2. What are your leadership strengths and areas for improvement specific to your current or desired professional

field and role?

To help you interpret the results, the Leadership and Followership Style Test has some interpretive information included. It is important that you recognize that you will need to go back to do some more research based on what you find from these assessments as well. For instance, finding out what the primary and secondary influence strategies you use will then require you to find out more about what they mean so that you can better describe your leadership characteristics.

Regarding scores for the Leadership Assessment Tool Inventory, we do not have the opportunity to obtain scores. However, the results do provide feedback on preferred influence strategies, quartile classifications, and a scoring key that enables you to assess the characteristics associated with each of the tools in the inventory. There is a wealth of information available if you use each of these parts of each tool to perform your self-assessment in addition to performing more research.

Note: A minimum of five scholarly, educational, and professional journal articles published within the last ten years AND cited in Units 1 and 2 along with the two provided assessments should be cited in-text and included in references as applicable to each of these objectives.

3. Submit your draft prepared according to Overall and Weekly instructions for Units 1 and 2 for grading and feedback at the end of week 3 (Unit 3).

Unit 4: Followership and Leadership Development Plan

Assess the viability of each of these methods for your continued growth as a follower. For this research, scholarly or professional journal articles, or professional and educational resources written or developed with in the last ten years are required. News sources, general information Websites, encyclopedias, or other similar sources may not be used.

continuous development, many of these methods will not have such a date, given the continuous process.

Be sure that what is included in this plan is realistic and one to which you can make a commitment.

Note: A minimum of two different scholarly, educational, and professional journal articles published within the last ten years - should be cited in-text and included in references as applicable to each of these objectives.
