To what extent does gender, sexual orientation, race, and/or ethnicity influence the opportunities you have and the obstacles you face? How conscious are you of your gender, sexual orientation, race and/or ethnicity, and their possible influences on your life? (Note: You can answer one or more of the categories. For example, you can just talk about gender or you can talk about gender and race.) I would like to use GENDER and RACE.  Being an African American Female I am very conscious of both my gender and my race. Being African American I was aware of the same opportunities for employment and education were not available to me because of my skin color and being a woman made it even more difficult.  As such I’ve always been aware I needed to work harder to prove myself and while I may have the same qualifications and sometimes more, either my gender or my race held me back and sometimes both. I’ve been aware that I could not be my authentic self and must appear as non-threatening as to not come across as angry, or what most call “Angry Black Woman”  while for white women it called “passionate.  When writing please find better wording to use than I have written.

You should also make sure to cite Fleenor, et al. (2008) and other sources multiple times throughout the paper as well as any additional references that you find: Most 360-degree surveys are not free and in fact are very expensive if you want to get a license to use them at your organization. However, there are a few free sample 360-degree surveys out there. Do a search on Google or other search engines using terms such as “free 360-degree feedback survey.” Find two or three free surveys and choose one of them that you think would be most applicable to your organization. Explain the reasoning for your choice and try to use criteria from the readings such as the checklists from Fleenor, et al. (2008, p. 37). Now take the survey that you chose in your answer to Question 2 above. Fill out the survey as a self-evaluation – that is, use the survey to evaluate your own leadership skills and other skills. Report the results of your survey. Do you think the survey was useful? What areas for improvement in your leadership skills did you find from using the survey? As a next step, fill out the survey again, but this time evaluate your current supervisor or a previous supervisor that you worked with. Report your results. Were the results fair to your supervisor? What are the main areas for improvement for your supervisor based on your results? Now that you have taken the survey twice, what areas for improvement would you make for it before using it again? Would you change the wording of the questions? Any questions that you would add? Use the concepts from Fleenor, et al. (2008) as well as your own experiences filling out the survey to assess the usefulness of the survey that you took. Finally, take a look at pages 65-69 of Fleenor, et al. (2008) where they discuss issues, advantages and disadvantages of 360 degree assessment surveys. Which issues do you think would apply to your organization and the leaders you work with? How might you overcome these issues if you were to lead a 360-degree survey process in your organization? Next Start or as Soon as Possible.
