Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

For this assignment, you will be taking a more thorough look into your leadership self-assessment results that you reflected on in

Module One. This assignment will help in the crea�on of your personal development plan, which will be submi�ed in Module Six.

Scenario

You work as a director of leadership and learning for an organiza�on that makes prosthe�cs. The organiza�on has been in business

since 1999 and employs over 350 people in its Tampa, Florida, headquarters and three plant loca�ons across the Southwest. While

the business is currently based in the United States, the organiza�on is exploring ways to move into Canadian markets within the

next three years. This year’s employee engagement survey results for the organiza�on show that some leadership prac�ces were

rated lower, while some prac�ces were rated higher. The new chief human resources officer (CHRO) met with the team to discuss

the general results. Everyone agrees that the company’s focus should be on both specific leadership development areas perceived as

strengths and on those rated as areas for improvement, primarily regarding social intelligence, emo�onal intelligence, and the

interpersonal skills of effec�ve leaders.

To help this ini�a�ve, your manager, the vice president of leadership and learning, asked you to create an adap�ve leadership toolkit

that can be used throughout the organiza�on. To begin this work, you conducted a personal leadership self-assessment, and now

you will be taking a closer look at these results to produce a self-assessment report. You plan on exploring how this self-assessment

would make a beneficial contribu�on to a personal development plan and adap�ve leadership toolkit, which will help to resolve the

leadership challenges the organiza�on is currently facing.

Prompt

For this assignment, refer to your results from your self-assessment and use the LPI Percen�le Ranking Sheet to determine where

each of your five leadership behaviors rank.

Leadership Behaviors

Model the Way

Inspire a Shared Vision

Challenge the Process

Enable Others to Act

Encourage the Heart

For further informa�on on each leadership behavior, please refer to The Ten Commitments of Exemplary Leadership.

Self-assessment: In this part of your report, you will use the results from your self-assessment to iden�fy leadership behaviors

where you ranked highest and where you ranked lowest, and begin thinking about how this informa�on impacts your ability to lead.

This work will help to inform your personal development plan, which you will create in Module Six.

1. Iden�fy the leadership behavior in which you ranked lowest and define what this behavior means to you.

2. For the leadership behavior in which you ranked lowest, describe the importance of developing this area to improve skills

related to leading others.

3. Iden�fy the leadership behavior in which you ranked highest and define what this behavior means to you.

4. For the leadership behavior in which you ranked highest, describe how this area helps support skills related to being an

effec�ve leader.

1. Based on your review of the Employee Sa�sfac�on Survey, iden�fy the leadership behaviors the organiza�on’s leadership

should focus on improving and explain how developing these areas will address the business problems the organiza�on

currently faces.

currently successful in and explain how maintaining these areas can help in managing rela�onships between the leaders and

their direct reports.
