Develop a personal self-leadership development plan, applying self-leadership principles. Hint: In the Alves et al. (2006) article, on pg. 349, the authors show a table of the components of Selfleadership. Your objective is to identify at least 6 of these that will help you develop a self-leadership plan. I copy page 349 as an image. Please follow. No, the article does not include a 'plan' as students want there to be an explicit plan laid out for them. The assignment is designed such that it requires students to read all the articles, and then create a unique plan for themselves - since each student is different each plan will be different. What will be common among each plan is that the framework for self-leadership is clearly laid out as a combination of (1) Behavioral focused strategies, (2) Natural rewards strategies, and (3) Constructive thought processes Behavioral focused strategies: Self-observation, or increase of one's awareness about when and why to act Self-goal setting, or the decision about what goals to pursue and how should be pursued Self-rewards, or compensations to energize oneself Self-punishment, or constructive self-feedback Self-cueing, or external signaling Natural rewards strategies: Enhancement of enjoyable tasks Focus on enjoyable tasks Constructive thought processes: Reduction of dysfunctional beliefs Reduction of negative self-talk Increase of positive self-image Maximum of 3 pages - APA guidelines. PS: I attach 3 articles to read. 1. Below is the one of the best example paper which had been submitted by previous semester. Please use as your sample to know how to write about. Thank you 2. You to have some guidance on what to include and not include, and how to dig deep within yourselves, and think critically about your future. SAMPLE: Personal Self-Leadership Development Plan For my plan I am utilizing the components of Self-Leadership as stated in the Alves et al. (2006) article, on pg. 349. I chose 6 components that helped me create my plan and utilized research from the additional articles to create my overall plan. Behavioral focused strategies: Self-observation, or increase of one's awareness about when and why to act Each month we have one-on-one's with employees to create their action plan of how they are going to improve. During these one-on-one's I will ask for feedback from employees on how I can do better and what they need from me. If I do it in a conversational style it will ensure employees feel comfortable giving feedback. Ask myself the following questions from the Kaplan (2007) article, What to Ask the Person in the Mirror, each quarter of the year to make sure I am on the right track: 1. How frequently do I communicate a vision and priorities for my business? Would my employees, if asked, be able to articulate the vision and priorities? 2. How am I spending my time? 3. Do I give people timely, direct, and constructive feedback? Do I have 5 or 6 junior people who will tell me things I don't want to hear but need to hear? 4. Have I, at least in my own mind, picked one or more potential successors? 5. Am I attuned to changes in the business environment that would require a change in the way we organize and run our business? 6. How do I behave under pressure, and what signals am I sending my employees? 7. Does my leadership style reflect who I really am? Analyze the degree to which I put the interests of my company and colleagues ahead of my own. Ask myself am I willing to speak up? Even if it is to express an unpopular view? If there is something I'm not willing to speak up about I need to re-evaluate the situation. Self-goal setting, or the decision about what goals to pursue and how should be pursued Finding out what I truly enjoy doing: My dream job would be something where I can be creative utilizing my various computer skills such as video editing, website design and Microsoft Office Suite. I need to evaluate yearly if I am on track to doing what I truly enjoy doing. Identify critical tasks in my current job. This will help me to determine how to spend my time and develop my skills (Kaplan, 2008). Constructive self-feedback In order to know myself and to create a leadership development plan I must first determine my strengths and weaknesses. For me to be able to take responsibility of my career I need an accurate assessment of my current skills and performance (Kaplan, 2008.) I personally feel that these are my current strengths and weaknesses: Current Strengths:Analytical, Persistent and Creative Weaknesses:Not comfortable with confrontation, need to be better with following up In order to really determine my true strengths and weaknesses I will utilize Feedback Analysis: I will write down what I expect will happen each month. At the end of every month I will compare my results with my personal expectations. This method will show me where my strengthslie and what I am doing or failing to do that is depriving me of my full benefits of my strengths (Drucker, 2005). After 3 months I should see a trend, and begin to improve each month. After 9 months to a year I will have sufficient data to determine my true strengths and weaknesses. Natural rewards strategies: Focus on enjoyable tasks Concentrate on my strengths. I need to put myself where my strengths can produce results. This will help me gain confidence in my work. Improve my strengths, this can be done through practice, trainings, feedback and education. I will not only do this in the spare time that I have, but I will set time aside each week to be able to focus on development to improve my strengths. Constructive thought processes: Reduction of dysfunctional beliefs Discover where my intellectual arrogance is causing disabling ignorance and overcome it (Drucker, 2005). I will do this through the feedback analysis process and feedback from my employees. Assess the issues that I can control monthly. Remind myself to have faith, I will be rewarded over time even if I do not see it right away. Kaplan (2008) stated, \"Have faith that, although justice may not prevail at any given point in time, it should generally prevail over time.\" This will help me stay focused on the issues that I can control. Increase of positive self-image I will not try to change myself, but instead I will work to improve the way I perform. I will do this by keeping track of my results monthly to become more efficient. Make sure to not take on work or tasks that I cannot perform, or that I will only perform poorly because this will lower my confidence and set me back instead of forward. References: Alves, J.
