Throughout this journey, my goal is to aspire to increase my emotional intelligence and find assess to moral courage and confidence. By doing this, it would provide a solid foundation that I would need to become a successful leader. 

            The rationale behind increasing my emotional intelligence is because it generates various factors such as; 

Ø  Self Awareness: This factor would create a sense of mindfulness towards the strengths that I possess, and would help me understand others, and promote their strength. 

Ø  Effective Communication: This factor provides the ability to listen without judgment, keeping my emotions under control, and to ask questions when necessary. 

Ø  Authenticity: This factor provides a sense of understanding to my own values and to be consistent in applying them.
Ø  Self Regulation: This factor would help me control my emotions and impulses. If I can increase the level to which my emotions are controlled, it would increase factors such as thoughtfulness, comfort, integrity and the ability to make good decisions

As a growing leader, I am always looking to learn and expand my understanding on how to be a successful leader. Therefore, I have decided to choose to assess moral courage and as my second goal to achieve.  

Courage means fighting for valued outcome that benefits the whole (Daft, 2018, p. 183) and as a leader I would like to take risks and apply courage to my moral leadership style. 

The rationale behind increasing my moral leadership is because it produces factors like; 

Ø  It increases the likelihood for me to find courage 

Ø  Would help me learn to develop the capacity of others (Placing others first)

Ø  Increases my level of moral development 

Action Plan Two
 Building moral knowledge for myself: Since Moral leaders never stop learning, to achieve my goal I would; do what moral leaders are doing, read books to gain more knowledge, and have mentors that shares similar leadership qualities. 

I would also keep in mind that having a good emotional intelligence and exercising moral leadership are goals that balance each other because creating time for self evaluations would allow me to realize how much I have accomplished, and create room for more growth
