In this assignment you are to take two assessments. These assessments will determine your emotional intelligence levels, leadership approach, and decision-making styles. These assessments are considered validated instruments which help you to understand your overall approach as a decision later. These assessments have been scientifically validated and will give you a good idea of your approach to governing your emotions, understanding your leadership behaviors, and how you react to challenges that require decisions.

• Emotional intelligence assessment (How Emotionally Intelligent are you?)
• Leadership assessment questionnaire (Leadership Style Questionnaire)

In this paper, you are to discuss the results of the two assessments that you have taken by answering the following questions:

• How do the results of the assessments support or contradict your understanding of your own emotional intelligence, leadership approach, and decision-making styles?
• Which assessment results will help your career and which ones could hinder it? Why?
• Assuming the assessments provide an accurate picture, how can you align your career plans, emotional intelligence, leadership approach, and decision-making style to optimize your effectiveness (be specific and support your synthesis with academic references)?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be 7 pages in length, which does not include the title page, abstract or required reference page, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
• Use APA style guidelines.
• Support your submission with course material concepts, principles and theories from the textbook and at least 4 scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
