In this assignment, you will address leadership skills and philosophies, and
how the skills of the leader, as well as the leader’s management philosophy,

unique components of service delivery as a nonprofit, for-profit,
or government organization.
○ Provide a rationale for the philosophy you identified.
● Create a list of 10 to 15 leadership skills or competencies you believe
will be important skills for you to have in assuming the leadership role
you will be taking in your identified organization.
○ Provide a brief definition for each skill.
○ Evaluate how these skills are important for addressing the trends
and competitive forces that influence the identified organization.
○ Include literature sources to support your decisions about the
skills you identified.
● Assess your competency at each of the skills you have identified
above.
○ Select your level of mastery at each skill, using a scale of one to
five, with five indicating you have achieved mastery and one
indicating you believe you are still a novice at the skill.
○ Identify the top five skills you want to focus on for your
professional development over the next three to five years.
○ Discuss what actions you believe you will need to take to
improve your skills in each identified area.
○ Identify someone whom you might ask to mentor you for each
skill area, and discuss how you would approach that person to
obtain mentorship support.
