Reflective Leadership Plan
|
Resources: University Library, Internet
Optional Resources:
It may be beneficial to review the letter of intent you provided during
the enrollment process and your responses to SEM/700R reflection
questions. These sources may provide a crucial baseline for defining
your leadership style and aspirations.
Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper in which you translate
your course learning into a reflective personal leadership development
plan. Your plan should define a strategy for maximizing your leadership
effectiveness and include the following components:
· Discuss the leadership theory or theories supporting your plan.
· Explain
your leadership strengths and weaknesses and what you will do to
capitalize on your strengths and modify your weaknesses.
· Address gaps between the leader you are now and the leader you would like to become.
· Suggest action items you will realistically implement to close gaps between the leader you are now and the leader you would like to become.
· Provide a realistic implementation timeline for each action item on your plan.
· Discuss how you will actually use your plan to impact your leadership, your followers, and your organization.
· Discuss how you will assess and modify your plan to ensure it is on track.
· Consider your plan, not just a paper to satisfy course requirements, but a living, working document.
· Provide
assessment scores and references to course readings and appropriate
peer-reviewed literature to support your judgments, assertions, and
development goals.
· Because
self-reflection is a critical component of your leadership plan,
first-person is appropriate for writing this assignment.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Individual
Weekly Reflection
|
Each
week in this course, you will engage your thoughts and abilities as a
scholar, a practitioner, and a leader to advance your knowledge and
personal academic agenda. These weekly reflections help you position
yourself as a reflexive thinking scholar, practitioner, and leader.
Consider saving these weekly statements, which serve as a critical
reflection upon your growth as a scholar, practitioner, and leader
throughout the program.
Create
a reflective and applied statement describing how the week’s learning
has affected your thought processes, development, and professional
disposition. This statement should reflect your personal learning
process—challenges, moments of discovery, life experiences, and
interactions. You may also include questions for the course facilitator
regarding material that may still be unclear in your reflection.
Ideally, you will use these reflections throughout the course and the
program to document your development as a scholar, practitioner, and
leader, and to reflect critically on the changes that occur during this
process.
Format any citations and references in your reflective statement consistent with APA guidelines.
Reply to the thread designated for Weekly Reflections, and post your response in the body of the post, not as an attachment.
