MBA 530 Milestone 2

MBA 530 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric

Scenario

You work as a director of leadership and learning for an organization  that makes prosthetics. This year’s employee engagement survey results  for the organization show that some leadership practices are rated  lower, while some practices were rated higher. The new chief human  resources officer (CHRO) met with the team to discuss the general  results. Everyone agrees that the company’s focus should be on both  specific leadership development areas perceived as strengths and  on those rated as areas for improvement, primarily regarding social  intelligence, emotional intelligence, and the interpersonal skills of  effective leaders.

To help this initiative, your manager, the vice president of  leadership and learning, asked you to create an adaptive leadership  toolkit that can be used throughout the organization. To begin this  work, you conducted a personal leadership self-assessment and turned  this into a personal development plan. Then you shared this artifact  with your manager. Your manager was impressed with the thoroughness of  the personal development plan and saw value in incorporating it as an  exemplar within the adaptive leadership toolkit for use by all people  leaders in the organization. After receiving such positive feedback from  your manager, you are now ready to move forward on developing the  adaptive leadership toolkit that will be shared with your manager and  chief human resources officer (CHRO) of the organization.

Based on the employee satisfaction survey, identify the skills and behaviors that are current areas of weakness  for leadership and explain how these areas may be improved by applying  the self-assessment you used to create your own personal development  plan.
