Leadership Development Journey Essay

After you have interpreted and you have completed and interpreted your Student Leadership Practice Inventory Student LPI, use Module 8 in The Student Leadership Challenge Student Workbook and Personal Leadership Journal (pp.142-144):

Discuss your ongoing leadership journey by writing a 1-1 ½ page, 12 font, New Times Roman, double spaced essay OR creating a power point presentation.

Using Module 8 Based on your LPI results discuss the three parts (A) Take Action (B) Look Within, and (C) Ongoing Learning by discussing the following:

A. Take Action (What do you Intend to Do?)

1) What leadership practices or behaviors will you focus on. You may want to begin by making priority over behaviors that are crucial and essential for your current work and/or future profession. It is not necessary to focus on all of them but begin by considering at least 1-2 behaviors that you want to change.

2) In what areas in your life will you look for opportunities to take action. You may want to analyze the many opportunities you may have at work, home, school, etc. to begin making changes in your behaviors. Again, focus on 1-2 opportunities.

B. Look Within (What Did you Learn from Taking Action)

3) Discuss your leadership legacy. What is it that you want to leave down the road for others. How do you want to be remembered and why? How do you want to be known to others and why? Apply this to your current work/personal situation and/or future chosen profession/career.

C. Ongoing Leadership Learning (What Will You do Next Based on This Experience?)

4) Discuss what practices were evident based on your results and how will you ensure that you continue practicing those practices in the next few weeks/future?

5) Review the 30 questions from the LPI inventory and discuss by choosing 1-3 that you would like to understand in more detail and why? Why are these important to you currently and why is it important that you take action.
