**Emotional Intelligence**
When Daniel Goleman introduced the concept of emotional intelligence to the business world in the 1990s, he called it the most important leadership skill. He also instilled that emotional intelligence is a skill that can be learned. As you review these resources, reflect on your own level of emotional intelligence. How important do you feel the role of emotional intelligence is in a leadership role? Do you feel that you are relatively strong in this area? Are there any opportunities for growth and improvement?

**Diversity and Inclusion**
Diversity is found in many areas of society. Sometimes it is embraced, and sometimes it is not. How important do you feel that it is for organizations to operate in a way that celebrates diversity and promotes an inclusive culture? What are the benefits that are created when diversity and inclusion are valued, not only for society but for the organizations themselves? What challenges might these organizations face in doing so? As you review these resources, consider these questions, as well as how a leader can ensure that their organization not only has diversity within its workforce, but also provides an inclusive environment as well.

**Diversity and Inclusion**
Diversity is found in many areas of society. Sometimes it is embraced, and sometimes it is not. How important do you feel that it is for organizations to operate in a way that celebrates diversity and promotes an inclusive culture? What are the benefits that are created when diversity and inclusion are valued, not only for society but for the organizations themselves? What challenges might these organizations face in doing so? As you review these resources, consider these questions, as well as how a leader can ensure that their organization not only has diversity within its workforce, but also provides an inclusive environment as well.

**Note:** This Assignment is divided into two parts for a total of 8–10 pages. This week, you will complete and submit Part 1 (4–5 pages). You will complete Part 2 (4–5 pages) in Week 6 and submit your entire leadership profile in Week 6.
· Consider the following scenario:
· 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.
**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) |
