MBA 530 Milestone One

For this assignment, you will be taking a more thorough look into your

leadership self-assessment results that you reflected on in Module One. This

assignment will help in the creation of your personal development plan, which

will be submitted in Module Six.

Scenario

You work as a director of leadership and learning for an organization that makes

prosthetics. The organization has been in business since 1999 and employs over

350 people in its Tampa, Florida, headquarters and three plant locations across

the Southwest. While the business is currently based in the United States, the

organization is exploring ways to move into Canadian markets within the next

three years. This year’s employee engagement survey results for the

organization show that some leadership practices were rated lower, while some

practices were rated higher. The new chief human resources officer (CHRO)

met with the team to discuss the general results. Everyone agrees that the

company’s focus should be on both specific leadership development areas

perceived as strengths and on those rated as areas for improvement, primarily

regarding social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and the interpersonal skills

of effective leaders.

To help this initiative, your manager, the vice president of leadership and

learning, asked you to create an adaptive leadership toolkit that can be used

throughout the organization. To begin this work, you conducted a personal

leadership self-assessment, and now you will be taking a closer look at these

results to produce a self-assessment report. You plan on exploring how this self-

assessment would make a beneficial contribution to a personal development

plan and adaptive leadership toolkit, which will help to resolve the leadership

challenges the organization is currently facing.

Prompt

For this assignment, refer to your results from your self-assessment and use the

LPI Percentile Ranking Sheet  to determine where each of your five leadership

behaviors rank.

Leadership Behaviors

 Model the Way (#3)

 Inspire a Shared Vision (#5)

 Challenge the Process (#2)

 Enable Others to Act (#1)

 

 Encourage the Heart(#4)

For further information on each leadership behavior, please refer to The Ten

Commitments of Exemplary Leadership. 

Self-assessment: In this part of your report, you will use the results from your

self-assessment to identify leadership behaviors where you ranked highest and

where you ranked lowest, and begin thinking about how this information

impacts your ability to lead. This work will help to inform your personal

development plan, which you will create in Module Six.

1. Identify the leadership behavior in which you ranked lowest and define

what this behavior means to you.

2. For the leadership behavior in which you ranked lowest, describe the

importance of developing this area to improve skills related to leading

others.

3. Identify the leadership behavior in which you ranked highest and define

what this behavior means to you.

4. For the leadership behavior in which you ranked highest, describe how

this area helps support skills related to being an effective leader.

Adaptive leadership toolkit: In this part of your report, you will use your

findings from the Employee Satisfaction Survey  and the leadership behaviors

you reviewed in the self-assessment to identify areas of leadership the

organization should focus on developing. This work will help to inform the

adaptive leadership toolkit that you will develop in Module Seven.

1. Based on your review of the Employee Satisfaction Survey, identify

the leadership behaviors the organization’s leadership should focus on

improving and explain how developing these areas will address the

business problems the organization currently faces.

2. Based on your review of the Employee Satisfaction Survey, identify the

leadership behaviors the organization’s leadership is currently successful

in and explain how maintaining these areas can help in managing

relationships between the leaders and their direct reports.
