OPTION #2: Leadership, Followership, and Conflict Resolution Development Plan
A Leadership, Followership, and Conflict Resolution Development Plan is a document that allows self-reflection, self-assessment, and research to understand yourself as a leader, a follower, and one who effectively resolves conflict. It also helps create opportunities for improvement goals. The Plan provides a foundation for becoming more effective in your roles as an individual, a team member, and an organizational citizen.
SECTION 1
Before describing explanatory theories, and concepts concerning your leadership, followership, and conflict resolution effectiveness, you must first articulate your strengths and weaknesses, values, and personality. Refer to previous course material throughout this project. This section of your project can include self-reflection, use of self-assessment instruments, and application of objective evidence.
Personal Assessment (3-5 pages): How do your personality assessment results fit into this section?
- Strengths/Weaknesses
- Values
- Personality
SECTION 2
Next, include an articulation of theories and concepts to explain your behavior as a leader, a follower, and one who successfully resolves conflict. In addition, include factors (contingencies/moderators) that may alter the theory/concept’s operation. This section should include discussion of the following:
Theory/Concepts of Leadership (1-2 pages)
- What theories/concepts describe your behavior as a leader?
- What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts? Consider peer pressure, the organization’s culture, and other factors.
Theory/Concepts of Followership (1-2 pages)
- What theories/concepts describe your behavior as a follower?
- What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts? Consider peer pressure, the organization’s culture, and other factors.
Theory/Concepts of Conflict Resolution (1-2 pages)
- What theories/concepts describe your behavior as one who effectively resolves conflict?
- What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts? Consider peer pressure, the organization’s culture, and other factors.
SECTION 3
The final section looks to the future. Choose and describe at least one developmental goal for leadership, followership, and conflict resolution improvement. Consider how the content of the course helps inform your choices of development goals. For each development goal, provide the goal, development activities (how you will work toward accomplishing the objective), resources/support (that you have or can develop toward achieving the goal), timeline, potential obstacles, and evidence of progress (i.e., milestones), as detailed below:
Development Goals (2-3 pages)
- Development Goal (Leadership)
- Development Activities
- Resources/Support
- Timeline
- Potential Obstacles
- Evidence of Progress
- Development Goal (Followership)
- Development Activities
- Resources/Support
- Timeline
- Potential Obstacles
- Evidence of Progress
- Development Goal (Effective conflict resolution)
- Development Activities
- Resources/Support
- Timeline
- Potential Obstacles
- Evidence of Progress
- References
Your submission should be 8-10 pages in length (not including title or reference pages) and be formatted according to the CSU Global Writing Center’s APA resources (Links to an external site.). You must include a minimum of 10 credible, academic or professional references, including the text and/or course articles if used in your final project. The CSU Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find these references. You may wish to review the Template Paper (Links to an external site.) for help formatting your submission according to the requirements.
