This document contains a pre-course assessment for Emily Bland's SLS1001 Winter 2022 class instructed by Leith Mazzochi. It includes assessments of analytical, creative, and practical thinking skills as well as self-motivation. Emily was asked to rate how well certain statements describe her by bracketing a number from 1 to 5. The assessments will help inspire understanding of her strengths and preferences rather than label her.

1 I would hold members personally
accountable for their performance.
2 I would assign members to specific roles
and tasks.
3 I would ask the members to work harder.
4 I would check on people to know how they
are doing.
5 I would focus more on execution than on
being pleasant with members.
6 I would try to make members' work more
pleasant.
Scoring and Interpretation
The T–P Leadership Questionnaire is scored as follows: Your T score
represents task orientation and is the number of Mostly True answers for
questions 1–5. Your P score represents your people or relationship
orientation and is the number of Mostly True answers for questions 6–
10. A score of 4 or 5 would be considered high for either T or P. A score
of 0 or 1 would be considered low. T = _ _ _. P = _ _ _.
Some leaders focus on people needs, leaving task concerns to followers.
Other leaders focus on task details with the expectation that followers
will carry out instructions. Depending on the situation, both approaches
may be effective. The important issue is the ability to identify relevant
dimensions of the situation and behave accordingly. Through this
questionnaire, you can identify your relative emphasis on the two
dimensions of task orientation (T) and people orientation (P). These are
not opposite approaches, and an individual can rate high or low on either
or both.
What is your leadership orientation? Compare your results from this
assignment to your result from the quiz in Leader's Self-Insight 2.2 in
Chapter 2. What would you consider an ideal leader situation for your
style?
7 I would focus on maintaining a pleasant
atmosphere on the team.
8 I would let members do their work the way
they think best.
9 I would be concerned with people's
personal feelings and welfare.
10 I would go out of my way to be helpful to
members.

Leader's Self-Insight 3.2. Are You Ready?
Instructions: A leader's style can be contingent upon the readiness level
of followers. Think of yourself working in your current or former job.
Answer the following questions based on how you are on that job.
Please answer whether each item is Mostly False or Mostly True for you
in that job.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

YOUR NAME: Emily Bland
Before using an assessment, you should know:
• Assessment results represent preferences, not absolutes.
• There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, one style is not better than another.
• Most people have strength in more than one dimension or preference.
• Results should be used to inspire understanding rather than to lock you into
a particular “label.”
• The environment or circumstances under which you take an assessment
may influence the results.
