Assessment Task

The task for this assessment is to prepare and present a plan for your development as a leader. The period of your plan could be 2, 5 or 10 years. Select the period that makes most sense to you, depending on the current stage of your life and career. Briefly explain the reason for the time period that you have selected.

Your plan needs to be based on or anchored by an established model of personal development. A number of possible models were provided in Module 1. The choice of model is up to you. The Whitmore GROW and Boyatzis Intentional Change models are two of the most comprehensive at a personal level. However, other models may be more relevant to your current needs. You are also welcome to use an appropriate model that was not included in Module 1, provided it meets the tests of academic rigour and usefulness to you. You must provide a brief description of your chosen model and a justification for your selection. It is important that you go to the source documents and not rely only on the summary version of your chosen model.

Please also include a section in your report about the impact of national culture on your leadership direction.

Your development plan must draw on the resources of the subject to demonstrate your increased awareness of the factors that contribute to effective leadership. Your development goals should be based on at least four of the topics covered in the subject, such as enhanced emotional intelligence, more effective strategic thinking, enhanced influencing and motivational skills, greater cultural sensitivity, greater support for creativity and innovation, more effective change leadership, greater resilience, etc

Additional information on leadership development to help you prepare your plan is provided in the Subject Resources section of each module.
Structure:

Within the body of your report, the model of development that you choose will largely determine the structure and section headings. The precise structure is up to you however a clear logic flow is important.

A possible structure for your report is as follows:

1. The use of an “Executive Summary” to summarise the content of your report.

2. A clear logic flow, demonstrated by using a “Table of Contents” page and section headings. The Table of Contents should be attractively formatted to present a positive first impression to readers.

3. An “Introduction” to set the context and provide background to the aim.

4. An “Aim” that communicates exactly what the report is setting out to achieve. This should reflect and summarise the precise question set in the assessment brief.

5. The body of your report should address and explore the issues set out in the assessment brief.

6. A “Conclusion” to capture your key learnings is desirable in a business subject. Detailed, supporting information such as psychometric results and planning templates should be placed in an appendix, where they will not be included in the word count.

7. A list of References formatted in the correct APA style. These sources need to have actually been consulted in the drafting of the assignment, and must contain the information attributed to them.

8. Appendices may be used to hold information that is relevant to your discussion but not suitable (too lengthy, complex, etc) for inclusion in the body of your report. All items included in appendices must be referred to specifically in the report.
