This document outlines the sections and requirements for a leadership self-assessment paper. It discusses exploring one's leadership style through a DISC assessment and organizing the paper accordingly. The paper should have three parts: 1) Describe the leader's style strengths and weaknesses based on the DISC results and how it relates to career goals. 2) Identify development areas from the DISC and select a book to address one weakness, summarizing recommendations. 3) Reflect on how the assessment helped with leadership development and if it accurately captured the leader's primary style.

1. Leadership Self-Assessment Pp
The leadership assessment pper will allow you to explore your leadership style, as defined
by the results of your individual DiSC assessment. Organize the pper according to the

points values attached to the various sections and allocate your time and effort accordingly.
