    For this assignment, imagine you have been hired by an international manufacturing company’s HR department to develop an assessment tool that will be used to screen all individuals who apply for management jobs, across business functions and countries. The company is committed to practicing democratic leadership—a style that involves including team members and stakeholders in the decision-making process. Democratic leaders encourage creativity, engagement, and professionalism. The company’s leadership team chose this leadership style because of a strong desire to ensure high employee job satisfaction and high productivity.

    The senior leadership team has decided that all managers must demonstrate a high degree of knowledge in the following management skills categories:

    1. Understanding of and professional experience with the company’s preferred leadership style
    2. Change management models and best practices
    3. Intercultural awareness
    4. Sustainable business practices in manufacturing
    5. Industry technology trends

    Develop a tool that can be used to screen applicants’ knowledge in all of the above categories. You should base your assessment tool on the readings, theories, and models you have encountered in this course. You must also develop accompanying guidelines for how to interpret results after applicants complete the assessment, including how to rank or select the best applicants based on their answers across all five categories. Assume individuals are allowed up to 30 minutes to complete the assessment.

    Your tool may be an online survey, a test, or an interview guide; or a combination thereof. You may use a free web-based survey tool, or develop your assessment tool in MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or a drawing tool of your choice. Your interpretation guidelines may be written in MS Word or MS Excel.

    • Once you have developed your tool and interpretation guide, share the tool with two to three colleagues and collect feedback about the clarity of the questions, the assessment process, the tool’s design, and the interpretation guide.
    • Revise your tool and interpretation guidelines based on the feedback you received.

    Write a paper in which you describe your tool design and review process, the theoretical and practical considerations involved, the decisions you made for each of the five categories, and your ideas behind the interpretation guidelines.

    Finish your paper by making recommendations to the company’s HR department and leadership team on how they should administer the assessment tool in a hiring or promotion situation, and how they can use results to select the best candidates. Be sure to consider cultural factors and strive for fair and consistent use of the assessment tool.

    Length: 12-15 pages, not including title and reference pages. The assessment tool and interpretation guidelines should be attached as separate documents.

    References: Include a minimum of 6 scholarly resources.

    Your paper and assessment tool should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
