Skill Development in Organizational Behaviour Assessment exercises required for skill development paper
• Every week, you will be required to complete several surveys designed to evaluate your skills in Organizational Behavior. Through the results of these
surveys, on-line participation, your readings, your own analysis, and class discussion, you will identify five management skills that you would like to
improve. For each skill, you will locate three sources that tell you how to improve the skill. Sources may include books, journal articles, courses, internet
