Project 1 Step 4 and 5

Step 4: Complete Gap Analysis

Now that you have begun the process of thinking about factors likely to impact your personal leadership effectiveness:

• Complete your end-of-course gap analysis using the same instrument as you did in Week 1. 
• Take note of all changes, including those in the four gaps selected in Week 1. 
• In your Assignment Folder, post a copy of your final gap analysis, including a maximum 250-word summary of lessons you learned by completing and thinking about this gap analysis.

Before you submit your assignment, review the competencies below, which your instructor will use to evaluate your work. A good practice would be to use each competency as a self-check to confirm you have incorporated all of them in your work.

• 2.1: Identify and clearly explain the issue, question, or problem under critical consideration.
• 2.2: Locate and access sufficient information to investigate the issue or problem.
• 2.3: Evaluate the information in a logical and organized manner to determine its value and relevance to the problem.
• 2.4: Consider and analyze information in context to the issue or problem.
• 2.5: Develop well-reasoned ideas, conclusions or decisions, checking them against relevant criteria and benchmarks.
• 5.3: Create, implement, and evaluate a personal leadership development plan.

Step 5: Leadership Development Plan (LDP)

Using feedback from your instructor combined with your self-reflection, revise your LDP.

• Include a maximum 250-word discussion about the implications for your SMART goal(s), career aspirations, and priorities.
• Post a copy of your final LDP in your Assignment folder. Please be sure to retain a copy of your final LDP to bring with you to MBA 620.
