Title of Paper

Introductory paragraph and purpose statement. This should provide your readers with their initial impressions of your argument, your writing style, and the overall quality of your work. On the other hand, a concise, engaging, and well-written introduction will start your readers off thinking highly of you, your analytical skills, your writing, and your paper. Your introduction is an important road map for the rest of your paper. Remember the estimations of these sections are only that – and then remember the purpose statement goes as a sentence directly after the introductory paragraph – it is not a separate paragraph and it is not a recap of the requirements.

Personal Leadership Philosophies

I would recommend discussing/defining what a personal leadership philosophy is and what is represents and why it is important when developing skills and characteristics as a leader. Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. The response accurately and thoroughly describes in detail a set of core values. The response accurately and completely describes in detail a personal mission/vision statement. Ensure your information is validated with current and credible citations/references. ALL THAT IS NEEDED IN THIS SECTION IS: (1). DEVELOP A PERSONAL LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY AND REFERENCE IT. (2). INCLUDE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD LEADER IN THE PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT.

(3). THE NEXT THING YOU NEED IS A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CORE VALUES WITH REFERENCES. (4).

THEN YOU NEED TO DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT WITH REFERENCES.

CliftonStrengths

An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile. The response accurately and completely provides an analysis and detailed summary of the CliftonStrengths Assessment. Ensure your information is validated with current and credible citations/references. Identify and describe in detail one key behavior that you wish to strengthen and why (references, year). Identify and describe in detail a second key behavior that you wish to strengthen and why (references, year).

What is a vision with references? YOU CAN COPY THE SAME MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT YOU USED IN THE PHILOSOPHY SECTION OF THIS PAPER. Then you are to provide an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision/mission. This plan should be about two paragraphs in length and validated with references. Be specific and provide examples. Combine with literature review or keep separate as identified below. The response includes a comprehensive synthesis of information gleaned from sources that fully support how to achieve a personal vision. Integrates 2 or more credible outside sources, in addition to 2 or 3 course-specific resources to fully support the responses provided. ****remember there are four (4) to five (5) references in this section of the paper. THE MOST MISSED REQUIREMENT IS NOT SUMMARIZING TWO LIT REVIEWS AND THEN HAVING AT LEAST TWO TO THREE MORE REFERENCES TO VALIDATE THE INFORMATION.

Conclusion

Your conclusion/summary is your chance to have the last word on the subject. The summary allows you to have the final say on the issues you have raised in your paper, to synthesize your thoughts, to demonstrate the importance of your ideas, and to propel your reader to a new view of the subject. It is also your opportunity to make a good final impression and to end on a positive note. Your summary can go beyond the confines of the assignment. This section pushes beyond the boundaries of the prompt and allows you to consider broader issues, make new connections, and elaborate on the significance of your findings. You should make your readers glad they read your paper and gives your reader something to take away that will help them see things differently or appreciate your topic in personally relevant ways. It can suggest broader implications that will not only interest your reader, but also enrich your reader’s life in some way. It is your gift to the reader.
