You will also go back to the role discussion you had in Week 1 to connect the assessment to the role you chose there. Once you have identified these two items, answer the following questions in your discussion:

• Describe the role and the assessment you will be discussing.
• How does the assessment you have chosen advise the effectiveness of the role you selected in Week 1?
• How will you use this knowledge to advise your personal leadership? You will find this knowledge helpful as you identify your personal leadership statement for the assignment you will complete for Week 8.

Support your ideas with course concepts and ideas. Be explicit in your use of course material. Use APA style and format for in-text citations and references.

Emotions, mood, and organizational culture can create a positive or negative experience for employees. They can also cause problems for leaders. 

1. Imagine a leader arriving at work each day with a very emotional or moody disposition. How would you handle someone who has an uneven personality and brings a negative air and context to the workplace and organization? How might this impact organizational effectiveness? Support your answer with research. 
2. Practical Application: Describe your experiences with someone who is moody and who has responsibilities of decision making for an organization. What impact does this have on his or her directives for the organization? If you have no such experiences, try interviewing a friend or family member about their experiences. Alternately, you may research an organization or leader. If you choose this option, you must support your findings with credible reports or articles.
