Aric W Hall Leadership Development Plan

I have many different qualities that attribute to my character. Some including, I am a naturally positive person, I am non-judgmental, and I try my best to be focused and efficient. I also like to make people laugh, but I know when to be serious. Part of being a good leader is knowing how to work as a team. Many of the activities I participate in have shown me how to do so. I believe in working as a team to come up with solutions, plans, and ideas.

To begin, I see myself as a strong leader. I am a great communicator. I am very personable and outgoing; I could talk to anyone. Majority of my jobs have dealt with the public and with that I learned a lot about dealing with and communicating with people. I also communicate great with my peers in and out of the classroom. I have a lot of experience with group work and taking charge in

The sum of education, experiences, and observations lays a foundation upon which I will grow to become a good leader. In this plan, I will focused on those aspects of leadership that I believe are most required for personal development as well as those which will be so significant for my future leadership career. I have identified three goals which will guide me in the development process. My goals are to develop my integrity, listening skills and communications skills. I assume that this plan will change and be altered as required by life circumstances.

A leader takes diligent time in considering the ability to adhere to other people’s interests and presents their followers with a positive mindset. This summer, I accepted an invitation to participate in the Dale Carnegie Young Adult Leadership Program. Attendees of this program learned several skills that can be applied to future experiences, especially on how to become an effective leader. Everyday, the attendees acted as leaders by accomplishing various tasks that forced them to reach out of their comfort zones. We acted as leaders by leading group

  Personal Assessment and Leadership Development Plan  Introduction  The focus of my personal assessment and leadership development plan is to denote the values, beliefs,  thoughts, and actions that will propel me into a state of personal fulfillment as a more complete leader at home, in  the workplace, and in the community.   The preparation of this document will result in the creation of a deliverable to be frequently referenced  and used as a reminder of the overall direction and more specific strategies to achieve my personal and  professional hopes, dreams, and aspirations, as well as put into place a foundation for facilitating leadership  development in my communities. My more immediate aspirations include being promoted at the California  Department of Education (CDE) and aiding others in finding their financial independence, while my long term goals  are to become an elected official, create policy, and serve my community in a manner that inspires others to serve  their communities as well.  This plan incorporates my total leadership experiments as opportunities to overcome areas of concern  and become a more holistically empowered leader. These areas of concern are time management and organization  and education policy knowledge and skills.  Knowledge gained, self assessment, and discussion of experiences  While I have always seen myself as an introvert, a variety of data stemming from assessment results and  feedback from others have resulted in my reconsideration of my identity. When identifying my core leadership  value of shared identity, I realized that being an extrovert was an integral part of operationalizing that value. The  implied moral and normative aspects that oblige a person to treat others as fellow human beings and equals  requires interaction with others. This results in a genuine, people‐centered orientation where people engage in  service of others around them and are committed to their communities. Among friends, one must be an  transformational leader and community organizer. As foot soldiers, they must be reliable, and the ones who step  forward to volunteer. They must be quick to lend a hand and share their skills and knowledge freely (i.e. by  teaching children, working with the less fortunate, or facilitating community workshops, etc.). They must help with  a big, free smile. This leads to loyalty, commitment, and perseverance.    2  Shared identity manifests itself in an interpersonal value of shared perception, or knowing through  feeling. This compliments shared identity. It is a participatory process, where emotions tend to be experienced  mutually. Heightened sensitivity and the ability to read body language are good survival tools in a society where  not all social interactions are carried out with words. Here, only carefully feeling out one another can help us  navigate the ambiguities of life’s encounters—like knowing when to join a group or how to blend in with people.  Connectedness, however does not equate with collectivism and the subjugation of an individual to the  group. I also value freedom, the idea of self‐determination and self‐actualization. The concept of having agency  and the ability to positively influence those around you is incredibly important to me. Autonomy, the  independence to make one’s own decisions is essential for progress. Rather, shared identity and perception is the  emphasis of the whole plus its isolated parts and on blending and collaboration, as well as how to enhance and  support others. It is important that people pool their strengths and achieve common goals by working together, by  sharing surplus, instead of hoarding and racketeering. We must make sure the heart is also full, not just the  stomach or the bank account.  These values stand for an organic concept of the world. They thrive on basic connectedness—of person  with person, of person with nature, of person with the unseen spirit worlds and, ultimately, of person with God.  For these values, the most impactful and supportive leadership topics were emotional and social  intelligence, the effect of gender on leadership, authentic leadership and self‐monitoring, leadership ethics, and  personal development. These topics intersect to create the platform upon which sustainable, transcendental  leadership can spring forth.  My value of shared identity is one that seems strongly interconnected with emotional and social  intelligence. Emotional intelligence can be divided into two dimensions: (1) non cognitive self‐management  personae; and (2) social dexterity (Wakeman). Similarly, social intelligence contains seven components: (1)  empathy; (2) attunement; (3) organizational awareness; (4) influence; (5) developing others; (6) inspiration; and (7)  teamwork (Goleman and Boyatzis). In order to create and develop a shared identity and a shared perception  between people, one must demonstrate high emotional and social intelligence. The social intelligence quality of 

Personal Leadership Development Plan An effective leader must have a plan for success. This includes a personal plan of growth as well as a professional plan for improvement. This paper will attempt to highlight my personal strengths and weaknesses as leader, identify the areas needed for improvement, and identify the leadership skills and practices that I will use to become an effective leader. This paper will also give an outline of the goals that I consider a priority and a timeline for this development. The overall result will be an inclusive leadership plan of development that I will use to grow myself as well as any organization that I work for in the future.

Effective Leadership and Management in Nursing Shirley J. Mitchell University of Phoenix HSC 492 Instructor: Linda Westermann March 12, 2012 Effective Leadership and Management in Nursing According to Sullivan and Decker (2009), leadership is influencing others into working toward accomplishing a common goal. Some people are born with an innate leadership quality within them. Others require learning leadership and management skills. It takes a certain personality trait that makes them a natural leader. Intelligence, personality, and abilities are three categories of the trait theory that is a part of the profile of successful leaders (Sullivan & Decker, 2009).

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." Dwight D. Eisenhower This quote from Eisenhower rings true on many levels. During my career in the military and the private sector, I have been subjected to many different styles of leadership, good or bad. In my leadership roles I have attained, I tried to model leadership abilities by taking bits and pieces of previous leader’s styles and forming them into my own model. This has proven to work well as dealing with people from all different walks of life there is no one size fits all approach. In writing this paper, I will detail my own leadership platform drawing from the course material and various other sources. The goal of this paper is to show a solid understanding of the course teachings and perhaps give the reader a new found perspective on leadership.

I like to think of myself as a motivational leader above all else. I have always been able to see the potential in others and get them be the best versions of themselves they can be. As a leader I am also very thorough and meticulous. I set very detailed goals and get my team and myself to achieve them. True to the core of being an INTJ I value innovation, effectiveness and competency above most things (16personalities, n.d.). Like most leaders who are INTJ’s I set extremely high standards for those who work with me and myself (16personalities, n.d.).

One of the topics in organizational development today is leadership. Leadership is what individuals do to mobilize other people in organizations and communities.

Over the course of this semester, I have learned about the theoretical foundation of leadership and management. From various leadership styles to numerous learning tools have all aided in shaping me to become an effective leader not only in the health care profession, but everyday life as well. Through utilizing these tools, I have managed to put them into actions through working individually and in teams which has helped me to learn more about myself and the type of leader I am. Throughout this action plan I will reflect on my definition of leadership, what I’ve learned about myself in the capacity to demonstrate leadership, my leadership strengths and weaknesses and three action steps that will help me to develop my leadership in the future.
