Assignment:
It is an opportunity for each individual to turn the leadership concepts and theories learned in this course into specific leadership action plan in a personal setting.
Students will engage in a full action-learning cycle of
1) action planning and implementation,
2) reflection and learning, and
3) planning for next actions and leadership development
The purpose of assignment is:
• Apply the leadership concepts and theories to a personal leadership situation
• Develop and implement concrete action plans informed by sound analysis and concepts
• Reflect and learn from their own actions and outcomes, as well as the assessment feedback
• Plan for next action steps and continued leadership development.
The personal action-learning project (PALP) must be synthesized in 6 pages (1 inch margin, double spaced, 12 font-size Times New Roman).
The format is important and not complying will lead to an automatic 2 points deduction.
Your final PALP part 2 should:
(a) identify and describe a specific real life leadership problem or issue in your current team or academic or professional organization
(b) analyze and discuss the important characteristics of yourself as a leader, and the individual and organizational factors in the problem,
(c) develop and implement a concrete action plan to address the problem based on the course concepts and theories,
(d) reflect and learn from the outcomes of your actions, and
(e) come up with future plan for next actions and continued leadership development. Be sure to draw on the course concepts and the assessment data as the guidance for your analysis of yourself and the situation, as well as for your action plan.
