For this task, you will conduct an evaluation of your personal leadership effectiveness. You will write a paper evaluating your own leadership using a scholarly leadership theory. To help you refine your own leadership skills, you will develop at least two SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound) goals as part of your evaluation.
- Write the paper in first person
- Follow APA format and style when organizing your paper. You are encouraged to create a cover page, headers, and sub-headers throughout the paper.
- The paper should be 6-10 pages, not including the cover page and references.
- Please be both descriptive (who, what, when, and where) and explanatory (why and how).
- Evaluators assess your paper based on the specificity of your response, not on the generalizations.
- This section is an analysis of your leadership.
- Refer to your results from the CliftonStrengths assessment.
- You must upload your PDF version of your Signature Themes report when you submit your final paper.

- a separate paragraph for each strength category,
