Leadership Development Plan (LDP) reflecting the results and evaluation of the text book content, lectures and activities completed during this course leading to a detailed SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis.

The LDP should clearly demonstrate a synthesis of relevant leadership theories (at least three, not all from the same chapter) explored in this class in the formulation of a personal action plan that includes specific development activities, necessary resources, and target completion date.

The Leadership Development Plan Project is worth 35% of your grade and will be submitted in the drop box in Blackboard on Sunday, December 2nd. The LDP allows you to integrate the theories examined and apply the tools from the course to: 1. Examine the role of leadership in your desired profession or industry. 2. Benchmark your current leadership skills and behaviors against recognized leaders in business and industry. 3. Complete a SWOT analysis to accurately describe your current leadership ability and to identify future potential. 4. Develop a specific action plan to enhance strengths, overcome weaknesses, pursue potential, and mitigate risks. This action plan will be detailed, including specific action steps, necessary resources, and target completion dates to serve as milestones to measure improvement over coming months and years. Ideally this plan will help you understand your leadership attributes, skills, and potential more fully. Think of it as a document that you might submit to your manager, demonstrating how you intend to develop your leadership ability to pursue promotional opportunities within your business or industry.
