Assessment Task: Being and Becoming a Leader: a self-study

The assessment for Course One will take the form of a self-study into practice, with the primary focus:

“Being and Becoming a leader: What kind of leader am I and why?”

You may choose to focus on one specific issue relating to yourself as a leader and your own professional context as appropriate.

As part of course 1 you will engage in a self-study enquiry within your own professional context. The purpose of doing this self-study is to allow you the opportunity to ‘step back’ and explore your own beliefs, assumptions and values about leadership and interrogate yourself as a leader. It is about you reflecting critically on who you are as a leader and drawing on a range of sources to critically analyse, reflect upon and discuss how and why you operate in the ways you do.

The assessment task for Course 1 will be equivalent to a 4000 word written report of your self-study and should include as appendices any relevant analysed evidence. It will be a critical and analytical discussion of yourself as a leader, your current leadership role and experience and your future aspirations/next steps for your professional learning. This will include a critical exploration of the key issues within the literature and policy discourse and draw upon theories of leadership. It will also involve you in gathering and analysing relevant data to interrogate self and practice.
