Project Option 1 – Leadership in Action Project
A Leadership in Action Project is one in which the MSL candidate assumes direct responsibility and recruits and leads others to respond to a need or issue by achieving a specific goal or outcome. Examples of Leadership in Action projects will be provided. You will summarize the project and your results in a final report that strictly follows APA formatting requirements, 15-page maximum, not including addenda. The final report must include the following information, along with sections marked as headers within the report:
1. Project Goals and Impact: Provide the initial goals for your project as outlined in your original project plan. Explain what you accomplished -- the results and impact of your project. Be specific. Discuss why any initial goals were modified or not achieved.
2. Leadership Development: In this section, please provide the details of the actions you took each week to complete the project. What leadership and other skills did you practice, learn about and develop throughout this project? What noteworthy successes or issues occurred in certain leadership interactions? What new questions and new ideas about leadership in general, and about your own capacity as a leader, have you identified? What developmental goals are important for you now?
• Research: What literature was relevant to understanding the leadership and management that was necessary? What models and strategies did you use from those you studied in the MSL program and your own independent research?
• Project Stakeholders: Although you are responsible for the project, you should recruit and engage other stakeholders. Engagement with these people, and your Learning Group, and perhaps other trusted advisors, should be explained. Provide information about your efforts to give and receive advice and support; this information should represent your actual communications with your project stakeholders and Learning Group colleagues.
• Final Reflections: How has this project either challenged or supported your previous views of leadership? What has been your key learning?
• Bibliography: The report must conclude with a reference page listing all sources relied on in preparing your report, with APA formatting.
• Addenda: copies of important project-related communications such as agendas, slides, flyers, correspondence, surveys, advertising and public relations, or other digital or hard-copy items. (You may make reference to, but not include, materials of a sensitive or proprietary nature as necessary.)
