MGT601 Dynamic Leadership Assignment - Torrens University, Australia

Context - The purpose of all assessments, combined, is to reflect on your own leadership journey, obtain feedback from your assigned partner and other trusted sources, evaluate your current leadership style, effectiveness and potential and then prepare a plan for your continued development as a leader. The assessments are integrated pieces of work and you should draw on the first parts as you work on this final part. The first assessment focused on your journey so far and current capabilities. This final assessment report should present your plans for your future development as a leader.

Task - Prepare and present a plan for your development as a leader.

The period of your plan could be 2, 5 or 10 years, 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 a model is up to you. The Whitman GROW and Boyatzis Intentional Change models (chose this) 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. Provide a brief description of your chose 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.

Additional information on leadership development to help you prepare your plan and to continue your reflexive journal is provided in the subject Resources section of each module.

Structure - The precise structure is up to you. A clear logic flow, using a "Contents" page and section headings, will help your readers to follow your thinking. The use of an "Executive Summary" as a précis or abstract of your report, an "Introduction" to set the context and a "Conclusion" to capture your key learnings is desirable in a business subject. Detailed, supporting information such as psychometric results, planning templates, etc., should be placed in an appendix, where they will not be included in the word count.

Within the body of your report, the model of development that you choose will largely determine the structure and section headings.

Referencing: You should include a list of specific references that you have actually used in your report. A minimum of 5 journal articles, 3 academic papers or textbooks is expected. References to any secondary sources or web sites are additional.
