173 Hello Dr. ---,

Hope you are doing well! After calculating the results/comments from 13 subject matter experts regarding potential questions for my global leadership instrument, I ended up making a few small wording changes. To help ensure content validity, I need a few subject matter experts to help in the next step, which is why I am reaching out to you again. I have attached a word document that includes the definitions for the 10 global leadership competencies in the framework and the questions intended to measure each competency. Would you take one more critical look at this document for me? Do you agree that the questions could measure that competency? Do you have any wording suggestions for any of the questions I might want to consider?

There is one catch… can you do this before the end of this week? I have cognitive interviews scheduled beginning Monday, so I need to incorporate any feedback I receive from this step prior to those interviews. If you will not have time, I completely understand and can reach out to others. I apologize that I need such a quick turn around, but trying to stay on track to graduate next Spring! Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely, Sabrena
