 Review the qualification levels for the use of psychological assessment presented in Naugle’s “Counseling and Testing” in this week’s study activity. Compare these qualifications to your state laws or rules in your specialization to determine your qualification level, and describe what type of assessments you may be qualified to administer with appropriate training and supervision after you are licensed in your state. As a licensed or certified counselor in your specialization, which level will you qualify under in your state, and what do training and supervision entail for Level A, B, and C tests? 

This module contains a two-part Assignment. You will submit Part 1 in Week 7 and Part 2 in Week 8. For this two-part Assignment, you will first reflect on your personal and professional values and will define what it means to be an authentic, emotionally intelligent, and inclusive manager. In Part 2 of the Assignment, you will analyze how your values inform your managerial ethics, develop a personal code of ethics to guide decision making and behavior in a managerial role, and explore how you will use these ethics in influencing for positive social change.

For this week’s Assignment, you will assume the role of a manager in the following scenario:

You have been selected by your organization to participate in a peer mentoring group for managers. The group has had its first meeting, during which the group moderator (i.e., the master mentor) has stressed the importance of having a clear understanding of who you are as a manager, the principles you will use to guide your managerial decision making, and how you will use your influence as a manager to be an agent of positive social change. You and your fellow mentees have each been charged with identifying your core values and beliefs and have been asked to write up a summary of these beliefs and values, as well as what authenticity, equity, and inclusivity mean to you as a manager.

As you prepare your summary, be sure to cover all items outlined, including the incorporation of references to appropriate academic sources, such as those found in the Learning Resources or those in the Walden Library.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider:
  • How you would define the concepts of “authenticity,” “equity,” and “inclusivity” as they relate to the role of a manager and
  • What core beliefs and values have shaped you as a person.

Authenticity, Equity, and Inclusivity

• Analyze what authenticity means to you as it applies to the role of a manager.

• Summarize the role of a manager in promoting an authentic, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Core Beliefs and Values

• Analyze the key values, beliefs, and/or experiences that have shaped you and that guide your thinking and behavior.

  • Describe the situation and the various courses of action you could have taken;

Leadership from all company departments would like you to answer one more question concerning your outlook on the company. Your answer to this question will determine whether you will be considered for a new management position that is available in the company. Leadership explains that there are numerous issues with the proposed new position; one issue has to do with leadership style.

The previous manager used a transactional leadership approach, which has been relatively ineffective with employees. Choose a leadership style (e.g., democratic, autocratic, laissez-faire, strategic, transformational, coach, or bureaucratic). Describe why you would take it with the management position, and explain why you chose it.
