Title of Paper: Metacognition

A basic research paper consists of an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introductory paragraph presents the topic of the paper and typically summarizes the main points and ends with a thesis. The body of the paper covers the main points and normally includes citations to sources that support the author’s claims and information. Papers should end with a conclusion. Conclusions normally summarize the main points that were addressed, without introducing new content.

This deliverable has two steps designed to help you think critically about your leadership journey and the importance of self-reflection.

Example of Level 1 Heading: Now and in Five Years

This criterion (section) has two parts. Part one, you will develop where you are now in relation to leadership. NOTE: (When you see the word “develop” in a prompt, it means to elaborate, to provide information and details Part two, you will either place a sub-heading to organize, or you will start a new paragraph to show the reader that you are starting with new information being delivered. In this criterion think about what leadership means to you. Identify specific qualities, skills, or behaviors that you associate with effective leadership. Create a set of measurable or observable criteria you can use to assess your current leadership capabilities and your desired leadership profile in five years and be specific about what “good” looks like for each section of this criterion, both now and in your future vision.

You will begin the criterion (section) with an introductory sentence such as: When I am looking at my current state of leadership, I would have to say that I believe in the power of teams and leveraging each team member's talents. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar. Do not forget to add a personal example, as this assignment is reflective. It is also appropriate to write in first person and use words such as: I, me, we, us, our, etc. in your writing. When placing information obtained from the relevant research conducted, the use of in-text citations must be placed where the information/facts/summary was provided. It is recommended to use only works that have an author and publication date. For example: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication). It is not recommended to use “direct quotes” in academic writing. However, if you must use “direct quotes” to prove or support a point, the in-text citation will look like: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication, Page # where direct quote was taken). For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).

Five Year Plan:

You do not have to place a sub-heading for the second part of criterion one. You can simply indent and begin the new information being presented. The same actions apply. You will want to start the new information with an introductory sentence. Create a set of measurable or observable criteria you can use to assess your desired leadership capabilities in five years and be specific about what “good” looks like in your future vision. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar.

However, if you must use “direct quotes” to prove or support a point, the in-text citation will look like: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication, Page # where direct quote was taken). For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).

Example of Level 2 Heading: Self-development for Leadership

In this criterion (section) you will use the gap identified in where you are now and where you plan to be in five years to determine specific skills, knowledge, personal qualities, or behaviors you need to improve or cultivate. Explain why developing these areas is crucial for your growth as an effective leader. NOTE: When you see the word “determine” in a writing prompt, it means to arrive at a conclusion through analysis of your own logical thinking.

You should identify and begin the criteria (section) with an introductory sentence such as: As I look inward to myself, I realize the importance of self-development, as it is essential to build emotional intelligence (EI), and adaptability. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar.

For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).

Example of Level 2 Heading: Decision Making and the Effect on Others

Not all papers require Level 1 or Level 2 headings, or both, but we have included them as a visual example. Remember to change this template so its information applies to you and to your classes. Keep the paragraphs indented and double spaced; do not switch to block paragraphing. This criterion has two parts to address. Part one is to evaluate how you make decisions, and part two is to evaluate how those decisions affect others.

In this criterion (section) you will define (establish) a set of standards that you can use to judge the quality and process of your decision-making. NOTE: When you see the word “define” in a writing prompt, it means to create a clear understanding of concepts introduced to your reader. As you self-reflect, consider factors such as ethics, logic, efficiency and consideration of consequences. You should identify and begin the criteria (section) with an introductory sentence such as: Decision-making has not always been easy for me. It, like most, is a skill set that seems to have taken years for me to refine. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar. Do not forget to add a personal example, as this assignment is reflective. It is also appropriate to write in first person and use words such as: I, me, we, us, our, etc. in your writing. When placing information obtained from the relevant research conducted, the use of in-text citations must be placed where the information/facts/summary was provided. It is recommended to use only works that have an author and publication date. For example: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication). It is not recommended to use “direct quotes” in academic writing. However, if you must use “direct quotes” to prove or support a point, the in-text citation will look like: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication, Page # where direct quote was taken). For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).

For part two, you can use a sub-heading (as shown in the prior example), or you can simply indent and begin a new paragraph. In part two, you will reflect on how your decisions, both good and bad, have impacted individuals around you, and explain how you would evaluate the impact. Begin the criteria (section) with an introductory sentence. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar. Do not forget to add a personal example, as this assignment is reflective. It is also appropriate to write in first person and use words such as: I, me, we, us, our, etc. in your writing. When placing information obtained from the relevant research conducted, the use of in-text citations must be placed where the information/facts/summary was provided. It is recommended to use only works that have an author and publication date. For example: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication). It is not recommended to use “direct quotes” in academic writing. However, if you must use “direct quotes” to prove or support a point, the in-text citation will look like: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication, Page # where direct quote was taken). For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).

Example of Level 2 Heading: Evaluation of Self-Awareness

This criterion has multiple parts to address. Part one, you will describe what self-awareness is in relation to leadership. Part two, you will want to look at specific cues internal or external that could serve as an "alert" indicating a lack of self-awareness or that your behavior is negatively impacting yourself or others. Part three, you will look at the cues identified and describe the potential impact that the behavior may have on others, if the behavior is not corrected at the moment. NOTE: When you see the word “describe” in a writing prompt, it means to use language that will allow your reader to visualize and understand what you are presenting.

You can separate each of the three sections with their own sub-headings, or you can create a new paragraph and indent to show the reader the change in information being presented. Each will begin with an introductory sentence. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar. Do not forget to add a personal example, as this assignment is reflective. It is also appropriate to write in first person and use words such as: I, me, we, us, our, etc. in your writing. When placing information obtained from the relevant research conducted, the use of in-text citations must be placed where the information/facts/summary was provided. It is recommended to use only works that have an author and publication date. For example: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication). It is not recommended to use “direct quotes” in academic writing. However, if you must use “direct quotes” to prove or support a point, the in-text citation will look like: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication, Page # where direct quote was taken). For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).

Example of Level 2 Heading: Summary of Self-Reflection

In step 2, you will write a self-reflection that will briefly explain what self-reflection means for a leader. You will clearly relay how the practice of self-reflection contributes to a leader's effectiveness. Consider aspects such as (only choose one to discuss):

· Understanding strengths and weaknesses.

· Learning from experiences (successes and failures).

· Developing self-awareness.

· Improving decision-making.

· Fostering empathy and understanding of others.

· Promote personal growth.

Your summary should be clear, concise, and demonstrate your understanding of the relationship between self-reflection and effective leadership. You should indent and begin the criteria (section) with an introductory sentence. By providing an introductory sentence, you are setting the stage for the information to be added from the articles linked in the module, your faculty instructor’s live lectures, your faculty instructor’s supplemental information placed in the announcements, or any website that is not a .com. A good place to look for scholarly research articles outside of the university’s library PROQUEST, or EBSCO databases would be Google Scholar. Do not forget to add a personal example, as this assignment is reflective. It is also appropriate to write in first person and use words such as: I, me, we, us, our, etc. in your writing. When placing information obtained from the relevant research conducted, the use of in-text citations must be placed where the information/facts/summary was provided. It is recommended to use only works that have an author and publication date. For example: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication). It is not recommended to use “direct quotes” in academic writing. However, if you must use “direct quotes” to prove or support a point, the in-text citation will look like: (Author’s Last Name, Date of Publication, Page # where direct quote was taken). For example: (Goodwin, 2024, p 3-4).
