Part I: Analysis of Leadership within an Organization (185 Points)
Analyze leadership in your current place of employment or one with which you are familiar. As part of your assessment, define the leadership approaches, traits, styles, and tasks accomplished within the organization.
Your well-written paper should be 3-4 pages long, include a minimum of three outside resources, and be formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these resources. For more information, see the Portfolio Project Rubric in the Module 8 folder.
Part II: Personal Leadership Profile (165 Points)
Imagine yourself assuming a leadership role within the organization you analyzed for Part I. Then create a profile of yourself to share with current leaders. Your profile should demonstrate how you could serve as an effective leader within the organization and include the following components:
- Your leadership style
- Your values and personality
- Your abilities in motivating, communicating, team-building, relationship-building, and innovation
- Your strategy style
- Your followership style
- Your leadership vision
Keep in mind that this profile is not only to reflect you as an individual and as a leader, but it should also synthesize leadership knowledge acquired in this course.
Part II of your Portfolio may be delivered in the form most suitable to represent you and your style (e.g., written paper, PowerPoint, or an internet-based presentation tool such as Prezi or SlideRocket, a web page or a video). The profile should be well written; if you choose the written format, the paper should be 5-6 pages in length. If you choose an alternative format, it should contain the same depth, breadth, substance, and quality of form that would be in a well-written 5- to 6-page paper. A presentation should contain 10-12 content slides with fully annotated notes plus a title slide and reference slide using APA standards. A web page or a video must also have a title as well as references. This part of the Portfolio assignment must cite at least three outside references.
