Homework: Master Business
Prepare a page business report in which you analyze your leadership strengths and develop a statement of who you are as a leader.
Introduction
This portfolio work project helps you define who you are as a leader. It is something that would be useful to you in annual performance reviews or to use as a reminder of your strengths and best qualities.
Scenario
Your leader is interested in your development as a leader in your organization. You have recently taken a variety of self-homework designed to better understand your strengths, areas of improvement, communication ability, and values. Your leader would like you to spend some time reflecting on the results of your homework and gathering some additional information from those who know you best.
Your Role
Your role is to prepare a report in which you review and reflect on your strengths; collect additional information from 3-5 colleagues, friends, or others who know you well; and create a portrait of yourself as a leader.
Preparation
This work requires you to collect feedback from 3-5 people who know you best.
Because not everyone is likely to respond, you should identify at least 10 people to ask. Choose a variety of people who have had extended contact with you, such as:
1. Colleagues (former or current), such as vendors, customers, or board members.
2. Friends (old or recent), neighbors, or fellow volunteers.
3. Family members.
4. Others who know you well. Be creative in your choices.
Try to give your respondents sufficient time to respond. You can create a feedback form or keep it simpler.
The questions you should ask are:
1. Who am I when I am at my best?
2. Can you provide a specific example of a time when I was at my best?
You can reach out by phone, e-mail, text, or in person. Analyze your leadership strengths.
Task
For this paper:
1. Discuss the strengths, skills, and other positives that were revealed in the homework that you took. Do these strengths surprise you or reinforce what you already thought? How do you use these strengths currently?
2. Discuss your strengths further by summarizing the responses you received and relating how what you learned from the people you talked to and the homeworks fits in with what you already knew about yourself, and with the work you currently do or hope to do in the future.
3. Develop a statement of who you are as a leader, based on your analysis. This statement should include your values, strengths, goals, and more. You should include in your statement who you want to be as a leader-what you aspire to become. This way, your statement becomes your own vision of who you want to be and an affirmation to help you grow.
4. Describe some of the areas that you learned are growth opportunities (where you did not perform so strongly). How did you feel about this? What areas do you feel are most important to strengthen? What steps might you take to do so?
