5340- U6 A1 Leadership Development: Philosophy, Governance, and Skills

In this assignment, you will address leadership skills and philosophies, and
how the skills of the leader, as well as the leader’s management philosophy,
impact service delivery. As part of this assignment, you will look at your own
skills and consider the skills and practices of leaders you have observed.

This assignment has three components:

● Imagine you are taking a leadership role for the organization you have
identified in your previous assignments.

○ Describe the leadership role and title for your position.
○ Develop a leadership statement that you would use as your

leadership philosophy in this role or position. Your leadership
philosophy must reflect service delivery practices for all internal
and external customers. The philosophy must also address the
unique components of service delivery as a nonprofit, for-profit,
or government organization.

○ Provide a rationale for the philosophy you identified.
● Create a list of 10 to 15 leadership skills or competencies you believe

will be important skills for you to have in assuming the leadership role
you will be taking in your identified organization.

○ Provide a brief definition for each skill.
○ Evaluate how these skills are important for addressing the trends

and competitive forces that influence the identified organization.
○ Include literature sources to support your decisions about the

skills you identified.
● Assess your competency at each of the skills you have identified

above.
○ Select your level of mastery at each skill, using a scale of one to

five, with five indicating you have achieved mastery and one
indicating you believe you are still a novice at the skill.

○ Identify the top five skills you want to focus on for your
professional development over the next three to five years.

○ Discuss what actions you believe you will need to take to
improve your skills in each identified area.

○ Identify someone whom you might ask to mentor you for each
skill area, and discuss how you would approach that person to
obtain mentorship support.
