Final report

Readings: All course literature as well as additional sources.

This is an individual assignment. Write your analysis/reflection by using relevant concepts

from the course literature. The recommended number of pages is 3 (a 10% deviation will
go unpenalized). Remember to make correct references to the sources you use! If you are
uncertain of reference techniques, see our library’s website. Before you start to work with
the assignment you should also take a look at this tutorial, which concerns plagiarism
issues: http://refero.lnu.se/english/ 

Deadline: 1st of November 2020 .

In the assignment you are given the opportunity to start developing your Leadership
Portfolio. Based on the content of the course and guidelines from McCauley, Hammer and
Hinojosa (2017, published in module 1) you should write a reflective work addressing the
following aspects:

1. Describe a personal statement regarding your leadership. This includes, definition

of leadership, leadership philosophy, or broader mission statement for your life.
It should preferably concern leadership in the workplace, but could also be
leadership exercised privately, in NGO's or in terms of self-leadership.
2. Make a gap analysis focusing the resources and skills you currently possess, in
relation to your personal statement.
3. Conclude your analysis by reflecting on a short (6 months) and long term (3 years)
developmental plan for how to close the gap.
4. N.B. In your reflection you are encouraged to present observations of your
leadership, analytically theorize it, such as drawing on theories in the field, as well
as evaluate it. A balance between these components is preferable

In addition to the course literature, you must use at least two scientific journal articles
that are relevant to your topic.

Good luck!
