In this project, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your leadership capacity in two key areas: 1) building trust as a leader 2) developing another leadership skill of your choice. Through reflection, goal setting, and practice, you will create and execute a personal leadership development plan. This is the first of two papers for this project.
Instructions:
• Watch the LinkedIn Learning course “Building Trust” – click the hyperlink. You will be asked to sign in with your Suffolk credentials.
• Choose one additional leadership skill from page 2 of this document that you would like to work on this semester. Watch the videos associated with your chosen skill on Blackboard.
• As you take notes on the videos, think about how this content relates to your own leadership experiences and future goals, as well as where you are currently strong and where you have room to improve.
• Develop four steps you can take to develop these two leadership skills – this is your action plan.
Evaluate your current leadership experiences. Where in your life have you demonstrated leadership? What is it about this person that makes them someone you look up to as a role model?
Discuss what you have learned from the LinkedIn Learning videos about developing trust. Why is trust such a critical issue in leadership? Provide a summary of the key points that you feel are the most important and how they relate to your own leadership development. Based on what you have learned, what are your current strengths and areas to improve in developing trust?
