The results/outcome of each of these are to be reviewed/analysed to determine what areas you could use for the development of your leadership skills. It is recommended that you focus on key leadership traits and characteristics and avoid broad general concepts of leadership.


To do this, students are to first develop a personal SWOT matrix format to display the outcomes of the self-assessment and tests. However, ensure that all entries in the SWOT have demonstrated links to leadership theory from the course curriculum and the outcomes of the self-assessment tests undertaken.


Then undertake a critical evaluation of the overall Leadership picture that the collective results represent.


From here, students are to then develop abrief reflection on past leadership experienceseither in their personal life, as student or internship/work. If the student has not had direct leadership experience, then reflect on self-leadership. This reflection should be linked to how these experiences may have impacted the current set of leadership skills (ie what experiences have positively contributed and what may have limited Leadership development thus far)


From these two activities,students are to then identify three (3) leadership traits/characteristics for inclusion in their Leadership Development Plan.


The Leadership Development Planwill include the three (3) leadership traits/characteristicsyou have identified, justifying why you picked these areas and then what you will do to develop these. This includes showing your timeframes, specific actions/activities, and measures of success. The Leadership Development Plan should be presented in a table to organise responses in a clear way that is easy to understand.




  1. Objectives (what do you want to improve?)




  2. Goals (what are the ways you are going to achieve the objectives? – there may be more


    than one goal for each objective)




  3. How (what are the specific actions you plan to take to achieve each goal?)




  4. When (when do you plan to complete each goal?)




Note: this is a way of using the SMART approach – but you don’t need to follow the SMART approach literally ie. Smart, Measurable, Accurate etc).


For this assessment, students are to use appendices to showcase the full results of your leadership analysis tests. These are not included in the word count and are not assessed as part of your report.


When using Appendices (which is plural for Appendix), it is important to name each one Appendix 1, Appendix 2 etc and put them on separate pages. Then in the body of your report you can note the Appendix number so the reader can look at it if they want more information – for example:refer to Appendix 1 for more details.


An appendix item is referenced (if required) the same as a normal referenced item.


You must show that the contents of your report have been well researched and that all aspects of your Leadership Development Plan (especially the recommended actions/activities) are well supported by usingat least 6 independentquality academic (peer reviewed journals and texts) and/or industry sources.


Your paper should also demonstrate strong links to the Leadership theory that has been discussed in class. Students should avoid less credible sources such as Wikipedia, UK Essays and Slideshare, prezi.com and other sites which contain student-based content (assessments and/or powerpoint presentations).
