DESCRIPTION: This project will enhance your ability to reflect on your strengths/limitations and your ability to develop goals that will help you build your leadership capacity. Use course material and all previous written work to inform this 2-3 page assignment. Ideally, this philosophy is something you can turn to when you are faced with a tough leadership decision, or might be considered your elevator speech for your approach to leadership. Please include any references that you might use. Submit your philosophy via TLearn no later than 12 pm on Monday, May 9 (the same day as the final). QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: What theories resonate with you and why? How do you see these theories playing out in your life? In what ways are you a leader? Based on self-assessment (and/or the leadership questionnaires from the book or in class), what are your strengths and areas of improvement as a leader? WHAT SHOULD YOUR PHILOSOPHY INCLUDE? Personal values/principles/morals and how you will carry out these values throughout your life (at work, at school, in relationships, in groups/teams, when faced with challenges, etc.). What can people expect from you as a leader (imagine a 60-second elevator speech)? Leadership themes (as discussed in class or in the text) that embody your leadership style. Ways in which you hope/anticipate to grow as a leader (consider these goals for the future). AREAS CRITERIA MAX ACTUAL POINTS POINTS NOTES Leadership philosophy paper Does the paper include: 1.
