Assessment Task 2: Leadership Reflection – 30% total mark - 2000 words Assessment details: Discuss your major observations about leadership studied during the semester. This exercise should be written in the first person (i.e I did, I learned, I will). Although you need to write in the first person, this is an academic essay and should be referenced in the normal manner. Take your leadership definition from Week 1 and discuss how your ideas have changed or been reinforced over the semester. • What is your definition of leadership now? • What have you learned about leadership through this subject that is of benefit to you and/or your organisation? • What implications do your studies of leadership have for you in the future? • What more do you need to learn or do? • How will you develop your own leadership knowledge and skills? • Where are your developmental opportunities? • How will you improve where improvement is needed? Do not merely summarise each week's readings. Instead, explain how the readings, class activities, discussions, films, and your observations have helped you understand and apply leadership concepts to your work or life experiences and/or goals, and where you will go from here to learn more and become a better leader.
