Global leadership concerns for the future
Global leadership concerns for the future. Remember that the concerns for the future must be rooted in global trends. These were discussed in Unit 1 and included in your written assignment in Unit 2. (Approximately 1–2 pages.) ◾Identify the global trends that you see driving a global leadership agenda.◾Clearly link leadership development needs to the applicable global trends.•Emerging leadership theory to guide a global agenda. Analyze emerging leadership theories that are appropriate for a global agenda. These topics were developed in the written assignment for Unit 2. (Approximately 1–2 pages.) ◾Select a theory that is appropriate for professional growth and for guiding an individual global agenda.◾Provide your rationale for choosing this theory to frame your leadership agenda.•Evaluation of responsibility to prepare the self. The responsibility to prepare the self is a topic explored and developed in Unit 4 and assessed in the unit’s assignment. (Approximately 1–2 pages.) ◾Offer a clear and unambiguous statement evaluating the need for self-directed leadership preparation for a competitive, complex, and diverse workplace.◾Explicitly address how leadership preparation should address each of those factors: competition, complexity, and diversity in the workplace.•Personal plan to support the evolving, reflective self as global leader. Drawing on the context you set in points 1–3 and using the results from the 360-degree review from the Global Leader of the Future, prepare a plan that supports your personal growth as a global leader. This step constitutes the main part of your project. The plan should be formulated into a paper, due in Unit 5, and an executive summary of the paper, due in Unit 6. Your executive summary usually: ◾Is no more than 10% of the length of your Unit 5 paper.◾Is written in conversational language appropriate for the hiring manager of the company for whom you would like to work.◾Contains condensed paragraphs or pages of your Unit 5 paper.◾Starts with a summary of what you want the hiring manager to know about you.◾Does not contain any new material that is not in the paper.◾Makes recommendations for hiring.◾Provides a rationale for these recommendations.◾Has a conclusion.◾Stands on its own (can be read instead of the paper).The executive summary reflects and flows logically from the understandings developed on trends, future concerns, emerging leadership theory, evaluation of self-directed preparation, and the 360-degree results. (Approximately 1–2 pages.)For your executive summary, do the following:•Describe your development goals.•Summarize the action steps of your plan in the order in which you intend to accomplish them. You will describe how each action step supports your development goals and how each step relates to and builds upon the others in your Unit 6 presentation.•In your Unit 6 presentation, be specific and concrete about action steps you will take. Each action step must be clearly defined, achievable, and have measurable outcomes. Explicitly address each of these elements for each action step.•Describe in the executive summary how you will evaluate your progress.•Include a clear statement of how the plan will support or enhance your own growth and the growth of others.The total paper should not exceed 15 pages. Appendices should include a summary of the results from the Global Leader of the Future Inventory and a calendar for the action steps of the plan. A reference list of 15 sources must also be included.Note: Your instructor may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide feedback on your writing.
