In this Final Project, you use formal  assessment tools to identify your areas of strength and areas in which  you need further development. You may use the results of this  self-assessment to develop a plan to gain the skills and experiences  that will help you move toward achieving your short- and long-term  professional goals and objectives. 

Using the assessment tools provided in Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, conduct a self-assessment of your own leadership characteristics, style, and skills.
