Professional Writing: Leadership Profile Part 2 Mistakes
8 min read
Note: This Assignment is divided into three parts. This week, you will add to your Week 9 Assignment by completing Part 2 (3–4 pages) and submitting your leadership profile in this week’s Assignment.
As you will recall from your Week 9 Assignment, in recognition of your growth as a leader, you have been given the opportunity to join a professional leadership network. As part of your membership, you must create a unique leadership profile that focuses on your passion and your purpose for leadership, as well as your goals. This is your opportunity to present your leadership reflections and perspectives to others in your network and to create connections that may lead to professional experiences in the future. Last week, you engaged in reflection and created the first part of your leadership profile, which focused on your perspectives on leadership and your leadership values. This week, you will focus on your passion and purpose for leadership.
