OBJECTIVES:

Determine personal leadership traits that build trust. 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

The goal of this assignment is to take the (e3) assessment and identify your strengths that help you lead. The (e3) is a behavioral assessment tool that has been used at Full Sail for nearly ten years. The assessment is based on decades of established research, and is a biodata instrument that measures behavior, not personality. As you grow over time, your results could change. The assessment can help you focus on strengths and growth opportunities, and encourage self-reflection. All of these are important to understand as you embark on leadership development.
