Leadership Self-Map
Overview
Leadership maps are a valuable tool for reflection for emerging leaders. They help leaders develop self-awareness and a growth mindset while revealing areas of opportunity for improvement. In this assignment, you will review the results of the self-assessments you’ve completed throughout the course as well as reflect on your perceptions and biases. Then you will create a leadership map using a presentation tool of your choice. Your leadership map will also help you complete Project Two, which is due in Module Eight.
Directions
Use a visual presentation tool of your choice to create a map of the traits, skills, strengths, and weaknesses you have identified about yourself as a leader. You are encouraged to use the results from course resource assessments, such as the Big Five assessment, to guide your reflections.
Use the example below to see what a leadership map might look like.
