This assignment incorporates the knowledge, research, self-assessment, and reflection skills you have acquired to identify and evaluate your own personal leadership style. You will draw on your knowledge, experience, readings, and material from this course and your previous courses in the MPA program (such as MPA5002). You will reflect on who you are as a leader, where you want to go, and how you might be able to get there.

The assignment is divided into three parts. Part I is an examination and analysis of leadership theory and what you feel is appropriate for public administration leaders in our current economic environment. Part II is a discussion of what you have learned about yourself in terms of management style, leadership theories used (and not used), leadership behaviors and practices and whether you feel your current leadership method or style is useful in your current professional situation. Part III concerns personal leadership goal identification and strategies for attainment in your journey as a current or future public administration leader.
