(35 marks)

Write your Strengthscope Report based on

1. What are your main strengths and evidence of these in the past (evidence can be personal or work related, but must be specific i.e. rather than “I lead a team” you need to say what the team was, what you did and what the outcome was.)

2. Are there any challenges where your strengths go into “overdrive”?

3. What are your main “bubbling unders” i.e. where you have sometimes been able to demonstrate the strength but you recognise that with further development it could be a useful tool.

4. What are your main energy drainers and where have these affected your performance in the past?

5. What theories of leadership or management or culture that have been covered in class can be applied to your examples in reflecting back on your personal experience.

To provide Personal Development Plan

Write your Personal development Plan based on

1. Are there any strengths in overdrive that need to be managed? What tactics will you adopt to do this?

2. What are the “bubbling unders” that you want to develop into strengths? How will you do this? This must be specific e.g. rather than “I will become a stronger leader” you might say “I will develop my assertiveness to allow be to be a stronger leader and I will do so by reading Book X, watching a TED talk on Y and asking my own boss if I can shadow them in a negotiation”. Again, refer to the slide deck on how to develop bubbling unders.

3. What are your main energy drainers you want to manage and how can you manage these to mitigate any challenging outcomes (refer to the slide deck on how to interpret the Strengthscope report to help).

4. What theories of leadership or management or culture that have been covered in class can be applied to your plan?
