See the file

Length: Four pages (not including title and reference page), double spaced, Times New Roman 12-point type.

Value: 25 points Objective: Leaders develop through a process of self-awareness, goal-setting, and practice.

These are activities that, when mindfully applied, will benefit you throughout your career. In this project, you will develop and execute a personal leadership development plan that will help you focus on developing specific leadership skills. Instructions: After reflecting on your leadership capabilities and where you would like to improve, choose a leadership skill that you will commit to improving this semester. Integrate knowledge gained from at least three sources (e.g., articles, TED talks) to demonstrate your expertise about your chosen skill and develop an action plan.

Respond to the following in your paper:

(approximately 1 to 1 ½ pages) Evaluate your current leadership capabilities. Where in your life have you demonstrated leadership? Draw upon both formal and informal leadership experiences you have had at school, work, and/or in your personal life to help you make your points. Based on your experiences, feedback you’ve received, and/or your own perceptions, what are your leadership strengths and weaknesses?

(approximately ½ to 1 page) Identify one leadership skill that you will work on improving this semester. See page 2 for a selection of common leadership skills that students in prior semesters have chosen. Explain the reason for your choice and why developing this skill will benefit you as a leader. Connect your discussion to your own professional or personal goals. Choose a skill that you can actually practice this semester, e.g., don’t choose “conflict management” if you are not currently experiencing conflict with anyone.

(approximately 1 page) Provide an overview of best practices/recommendations for developing your chosen skill. In this section, you should demonstrate the knowledge you have gained from the resources you have collected. What have you learned about this skill? Based on what you have learned, what will you need to include in your action steps to increase your likelihood of success?

(approximately 1 page) Finally, develop your action plan of at least four steps you will take to work on your skill this semester. Clearly describe what you will do to execute your plan (think SMART: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Time-bounded). I will give you some examples in class to help you structure this.

You can use articles, TED talks (limit one), interviews with mentors/managers (limit one), etc. You may cite the course text, but this is extra does not count as one of the three required resources.
