Discussion questions are designed to help you reflect on your level of self-awareness, openness to feedback, emotional intelligence, stage of moral development, cognitive style, locus of control, tolerance of ambiguity, and core self-evaluation, and recognize the implications for you as a current or aspiring manager.
Make sure that you have completed your assessments and read the assigned reading and PowerPoint presentation before you answer the questions listed below. Post your responses by midnight on Thursday. You are also expected to respond at least once to the posting of another student.
1. Do your scores on self-disclosure, openness to feedback and self-awareness represent a strength or weakness for you? (Compare your scores to the comparison data provided with the Scoring Key - if your score falls in the top quartile, you can consider it a strength; if not, consider it a relative weakness that needs a strategy for improvement). What are the implications of these scores as you train to become a skilled manager and what can you do to improve them?
2. Does your level of emotional intelligence represent a strength or weakness for you? (Compare your scores to the comparison data provided with the Scoring Key - if your score falls in the top quartile, you can consider it a strength; if not, consider it a relative weakness that needs a strategy for improvement). Which aspects of your emotional intelligence need further development and how do you propose to develop them?
3. What is your stage of moral development? What are its implications for you?
4. Do you have an internal or external locus of control? Do you have a low or high tolerance of ambiguity (relative to the comparison group), and which sources of ambiguity are you most intolerant of? What implications do these two scores have for you as a manager and what can you do about them?
5. What does your core self-evaluation score reveal about you?
