Activity Description
As part of your first assignment in Week 1, you were asked to send the PAMS assessment to three of your peers. By now, you should have
received those evaluations. Review their responses and compare them to your own assessment. How did their assessment compare to
yours? Were there any surprises? What strengths and weaknesses did they identify?
Use the NCU library and/or Internet to research the leadership style and effectiveness of the CEO for an organization of your choice. Based
on the information you find on your selected leader, your PAMS peer evaluations, and the concepts and theories learned in this course,
create a personal leadership development plan. Your plan should include, but is not limited, to the following:
Leadership goal(s)
Timeline for reaching your goal(s)
Individual objectives required to reach your end goal(s)
Resources and/or tools needed to reach your goal(s)
Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly
resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 8-10 pages, not including title and reference pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts
and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to
Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
