Answer 2

Answer: Core self evaluation CSE is a way we assess our lives and attitude to our environment including people around us and our work.

Explanation:

The key components of Core self evaluation are:

Self-efficacy: is the ability to be effective in different situations or how robust we are in coping with unfamiliar situations.

Self-esteem: is a positive belief in oneself, in one’s abilities and expectations of ourselves.

Locus of control: this is how much control we feel we have over what happens to us or what we do. People who feel more in control of the events that happen to them have a more positive and proactive attitude than those who do not.

Emotional stability/Neuroticism: Emotional stability is the ability to control negative emotions. Mood swings and anxiety are signs of low emotional stability or high neuroticism.  

A leader can use CSEs to build a more effective unit by identifying the key components each team member has, lacks or can improve on. Individuals who have high self efficacy, self esteem, locus of control and emotional stability are productive, positive and valuable team members. The leader can encourage each person to improve on their weak points as it is in the interest of the team.  

Also, the leader can assign tasks that use the strength of each person. For example, the most emotional stable team member can be in charge of crisis management.
