Leader’s Self-Insight

Prior to beginning work on this PowerPoint assignment, read Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of The Leadership Experience.

For this assignment, you will construct a PowerPoint presentation that contains an introduction slide, eight reflective paragraphs (one paragraph per slide), and a conclusion slide at the end, making the presentation at least 10 slides total (not including title and references slides). Appropriate visuals are highly encouraged and require APA citations.

(Each reflective paragraph should be well thought out and at least 200 words ON EACH SLIDE)

The eight reflective paragraphs should pertain to what you learned from the Leader’s Self-Insight activities in Chapters 3 and 4 (Chapter 3 contains three Leader’s Self-Insight activities, and Chapter 4 contains five Leader’s Self-Insight activities). Each reflective paragraph should be well thought out and at least 200 words, focusing on how the leader’s self-sight contributes to the learner’s leadership development.

In addition, each reflective paragraph should expand upon a concept that pertains to the subject matter contained in the corresponding Leader’s Self-Insight activity. Explain how you will use that concept in your own leadership development. Format and cite your sources within your paragraphs using APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center and utilize your textbook to support each reflective essay.

*Note: You are encouraged to integrate any feedback from your instructor and upload the assignment to Portfolium. For assistance using Portfolium, review the Portfolium Student GuidePreview the document.
