Context:
The
learning design of this subject is to focus on your own leadership journey and
not to study leadership as some remote, theoretical concept that applies to
other people. Assessment 1, Part A, starts to build self-awareness by analysing
your results on the Gallup Strengths Finder psychometric instrument.
Assessment
1, Part B, increases your self-awareness through a reflexive journal, working
with your partner, understanding your current capabilities and preparing a
report on your leadership journey to the present time. Assessment 2 is a report
on your plans for your continuing leadership development. The assessment
reports should build on each other and should be seen as an integrated plan for
your continuing personal and professional development.
Your Task:
Your
task in Assessment 1, Part A, is to complete the Gallup Strengths Finder and
submit a brief report on the results and their implications for your
development as a leader.
Instructions for completing Gallup strength finder:
Analysing results:
When
you receive your results, look at your report and read the background document
on the Gallup psychometric assessment. You should then prepare a 500-word
report which covers the following issues:
1) A
brief description of your results. Provide a copy of your report as an
Appendix. It will not be included in the word count.
2) Your
initial reactions to your results: any surprises, any concerns, any connections
with your own self-perceptions of your leadership strengths and personality
preferences, any consistencies or inconsistencies with other feedback that you
have received, either from colleagues or other psychometric tests.
3) Your
initial thoughts on the implications of the results for your current and future
leadership: how you can draw on your strengths to enhance your current and
future effectiveness.
Reflexive Writing - First Person:
You
should write in the first person, because this is about YOU, your reflections
and your interpretations. (e.g. “I considered this advice to be….. because it
had a big
impact
on my……..and it helped me to understand my………..”)
Try
to be as specific as possible, use brief examples to illustrate your points and
try to select examples that enable you to demonstrate learning against the
attributes in the rubric.
All
other principles of academic writing apply, including strict referencing,
acknowledgement of the work of others and avoidance of plagiarism.
You
should include a list of specific references that you have actually used in
your report. For this assessment, a minimum of three journal articles, academic
papers or textbooks is expected. References to any secondary sources or web
sites are additional. The reference list and Executive Summary (if you choose
to use one) and any appendices will not be included in the word count.
It
is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing
research. Please see more information on referencing here http://library.laureate.net.au/research_skills/referencing
