In preparation for this assignment:

• Bring to mind specific instances in which a leader has had a powerful impact on you. These leadership examples may be ones that you consider unsuccessful, as well as those that you consider successful; they may be from within the health care industry, as well as from other fields (e.g., politics). Consider the behaviors that you observed and how they relate to leadership characteristics and styles, as well as values.
• Complete the DiSC Classic 2.0 self-assessment and review your results. Be sure to save a copy of your results for future reference. In addition, you may wish to complete additional assessments.
• Consider how the leadership examples you have identified and the statements in your DiSC Classic 2.0 profile (as well as any other assessments and the information presented in the Learning Resources) relate to one another.What insights does this give you with regard to the following:
• • How you, personally, evaluate leadership effectiveness
  • Your own leadership strengths and preferences
  • Potential challenges or areas in which you need to strengthen your leadership skills and competencies

Write a 1- to 2-page paper that synthesizes your analysis, including the following:

• Two or more leadership examples that are personally meaningful
• Your leadership strengths and preferences, as well as potential challenges and areas for development (Be sure to refer to specifics of your DiSC profile, as well as insights from the Learning Resources.)
