Leadership for Good: Part 3
This Assignment features one of the Business Skills for Good that you will learn more about and develop throughout your MBA program. This skill, emotional intelligence, includes the five components, as identified by Goleman (2004), as “self-awareness,” “self-regulation,” “motivation,” “empathy,” and “social skill.” Demonstrating emotional intelligence promotes strong interpersonal, social, and people skills, self-awareness and self-management skills, management skills, leadership skills, teamwork, problem-solving skills, and decision-making abilities. As effective communication, collaboration, and emotional resilience become increasingly important in today’s work environments, emotional intelligence has emerged as a crucial employability skill that can significantly enhance one’s career success and job performance.

Note: This Assignment is divided into three parts for a total of 8–10 pages. This week, you will complete Part 3 (approximately 2 pages) and submit your entire leadership profile.
As you will recall from your Week 9 and 10 Assignments, in recognition of your growth as a leader, you have been given the opportunity to join a professional leadership network. As part of your membership, you must create a unique leadership profile that focuses on your passion and your purpose for leadership, as well as your goals. This is your opportunity to present your leadership reflections and perspectives to others in your network and to create connections that may lead to professional experiences in the future. Last week, you engaged in reflection and created the first part of your leadership profile, which focused on your perspectives on leadership and your leadership values. This week, you will focus on applying the skills of emotional intelligence in leadership of positive social change.

To prepare for this Assignment:
- You should first engage in reflection. Self-reflection is an important skill in business, especially for a leader or an aspiring leader. There are a number of different models of reflection that can be utilized; however, one of the more commonly used models is the 5R Framework for Reflection (Bain, et al., 2002), which focuses on five defined stages of reflection: reporting, responding, relating, reasoning, and reconstructing. Using this framework will enable you to produce a critically engaging reflection based on your experiences. Refer to the following table for more information about the framework:
| 5R Stages | Description | Guidelines |
|---|---|---|
| Reporting | A brief descriptive account of the situation/topic | What happened, what the situation/topic is |
| Responding | Your emotional/personal response to the situation/topic | Your observations, feelings, questions about the situation/topic |
| Relating | Personal and theoretical understandings relevant to the situation/topic | Making the connections between the situation/topic and your experience, skills, knowledge, and understanding |
| Reasoning | Your explanation of the situation/topic | Explaining the situation/topic in terms of the significant factors, relevant theories, and experiences |
| Reconstruction | Drawing conclusions and developing a future actionable plan | Your deeper level of understanding about the situation/topic that is used to reframe or reconstruct your future practice and further develop your understanding of professional practice (application) |
