Leadership Development Plan Part I: Assignment Guidelines
Length: Three to four pages (not including title page), double spaced, Times New Roman 12-point type, one-inch margins.
Value: 25 points
Objective: In this project, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your leadership capacity in two key areas: 1) building trust as a leader 2) developing another leadership skill of your choice. Through reflection, goal setting, and practice, you will create and execute a personal leadership development plan. This is the first of two papers for this project.
Instructions:
• Watch the LinkedIn Learning course “Building Trust” – click the hyperlink. You will be asked to sign in with your Suffolk credentials.
• Choose one additional leadership skill from page 2 of this document that you would like to work on this semester. Watch the videos associated with your chosen skill on Blackboard.
• As you take notes on the videos, think about how this content relates to your own leadership experiences and future goals, as well as where you are currently strong and where you have room to improve.
• Develop four steps you can take to develop these two leadership skills – this is your action plan.
o Two action steps should be related to developing trust. Describe one action step you can practice this semester, and one action step that is longer term (that you could work on over the next year).
o Two action steps should be related to the additional skill you chose. Again, create one short-term action step you can work on now and one longer-term action step for later.
