LEDR 6115: The Purpose Of This Course Is To Enhance Leadership Potential By Building A Strong Foundation: Character-Driven Leadership Coursework, ASU, Ireland

This assignment is the integrative learning experience for the course. By that, I mean that it draws heavily from what you have learned throughout the course, with the inclusion of references that you choose to draw from when developing your plan. It also draws heavily from your life experiences and your current life circumstances. Only you may best decide the content of the plan based upon what you know to be relevant in your life. It is not meant to be a stagnant plan, but instead a dynamic one, a plan that you visit frequently and revise as you develop throughout your life, and as your life circumstances evolve. It is also not intended to be a complete plan, but when done well, it gives you a great start as to how you might add attributes and goals to the plan at a later date.

As you begin to think about your personal and professional leadership development plan, review the student learning objectives for this course (listed below), incorporating them into your plan. In addition to class resources, please include a minimum of five scholarly references of your choice to complete your leadership plan.
