Include the following in your paper:

Identify gaps between the leader you are now and the leader you would like to become
Discuss how you will use your plan to impact your leadership, your followers, and your organization.
Discuss how you will assess and modify your plan to ensure you are on track.
Consider your plan not just a paper to satisfy course requirements, but a living, working document.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines, which includes:
- Properly formatted title page
