Question: Leadership, communication, and technology will be continually infused in aspects of your academic and professional life. As you progress along your chosen career path, it is likely that you will increase your skills in these areas; however, the development will also require thoughtfulness so that you can remain current and achieve continuous improvement. Concrete planning, being proactive, and reviewing all details will allow you to achieve the greatest benefits as a direct result of your focus, attention, and efforts. In addition, this will help you to work well ahead in order to submit your required document prior to the due date and/or deadline.
Using the new conceptual knowledge you have gained in your research, you will create a plan to inspire and foster a commitment to professional growth and improvement in the areas of leadership, communication, and technology as it relates to your chosen concentration/profession. This plan will include clear goals and strategies to develop or improve the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics that you will need to be a successful leader. The final plan will be a living document that will change and grow with you during your academic and professional career. For this assignment, you will write a self-improvement plan in first person regarding areas of excellence (i.e., where you succeed) and areas of development (i.e., where you need to improve). Keep in mind that this document will continuously transform, as you further your degree and career. In addition, there is an introduction and a conclusion, which you can find the instructions in the mandatory assignment template.
In the Areas of Excellence, define your current strengths in the areas of leadership, communication, and technology (2-3 strengths in each category). You must start every section in an opening paragraph (i.e., leadership, communication, technology) by introducing your possible audience to your 2 to 3 areas of success. Then, you will highlight these 2 to 3 strengths as Areas of Excellence and provide a detailed example of how you have utilized these strengths in a professional setting.
In the Areas of Development in which you would like to improve, define your perceived limitations in the areas of leadership, communication, and technology (2-3 areas of development in each category). You must start every section in an opening paragraph (i.e., leadership, communication, technology) by introducing your possible audience to your 2 to 3 areas that need development. Explain why you consider each a limitation and why you think it will be valuable to improve these areas. Follow the same directions as the Areas of Excellence.
