FINAL PROJECT (Fall 2020) LDR3003 Introduction to Leadership (50 points) (Required assignment) As outlined in the Canvas introduction to this project back in Module II, you will be using results from the self-assessment tools located at the end of various chapters in the Leadership textbook and at one Website. To date, you have been recording these results in your Chart of Leadership Self-Awareness. Along the way, you’ve been increasing your knowledge as a leadership scholar, analyzing the results of your assessments, and hypothesizing on your adaptability to different scenarios as a leader as well as a follower. In other words, you should have a good sense from an analytical perspective, of your SWOTs (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) as a leader and follower. The final project report is a scholarly essay on leadership authored by you with your position and arguments supported by the leadership skills and theories with which you now have an expertise. We are living in times that no one living has ever seen and there is great division in thought by our current leaders of how to proceed in re-opening schools and businesses (large and small), addressing issues of civil justice and equality, and restoring the economic livelihood of our nation. We are in need of leaders that serve as anchors (Heifetz & Linsky) to hold us strong and safe. Discussion Topic for your essay: There is an opportunity for a new beginning in Year 2020- 2021. How would you initiate, not merely a reopening without beneficial change, but a new start post-COVID-19 with a fresh leadership outlook for at least one global issue for which you are passionate? What qualities or traits and theories would define the leader necessary for a new start? With your leadership traits, skills and propensities identified in the Leadership Self-Awareness Questionnaires, what would you do? What systemic changes or improvements or advantages could be realized in your version of a restart? Your essay should contain a scholarly analysis of your findings, supported by at least 6 citations from our Leadership textbook. These required citations should not simply repeat descriptions about the assessments nor explain the general area of study. By all means, you may use additional citations for those purposes; however, at least 6 textbook citations must provide theory-based support to your self-analysis. Remember, your introduction and conclusion are the most important parts of the report. Your findings should touch on all your leadership questionnaire assessments. You should have a forward-looking introduction that prepares a reader for what’s coming, and a strong conclusion that knits together everywhere the reader’s been, and potentially points to opportunities for further exploration. Type your report in standard academic format, double-spaced with 12-point Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins. Use proper citations with a formal list at the report’s conclusion. The formatting of both citations and end-list will depend on the citation style (MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian N&B, Harvard) that you employ. For more information on citations, review the Writing Requirements page in the syllabus. The main body/content of your work should run 5 +/- pages. In addition to these 5 main pages, you should have a separate title page, the page listing works/references cited, and as an appendix exhibit, your Chart of Leadership Self-Awareness and any related notes. Review the Assignment Submission page in the syllabus, for details on how to properly submit your report. Need writing assistance? Get assistance with proofing your writing, organization, and formatting with Spellcheck. I strongly recommend at minimum, using the free version of the Grammarly app to proof your writing. Far better, however, is to run your paper past the UNF Writing Center for total evaluation. Be forewarned: if you turn in writing that is not to college levelincluding grammar, punctuation, citation formatting, proofreading, etc.you will forfeit significant points. If you’re unsure about the assignment, do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to reading your thoughts and projections.
