1. What are your followership strengths and areas for
improvement specific to your current or desired professional
field and role?
2. What are your leadership strengths and areas for
improvement specific to your current or desired professional
field and role?
Explain each finding, its relevance to the professional field, and
why it is important. Cite research sources from Units 1
and 2, and the assessments to support your analysis of the above
expressed in your own words.
To help you interpret the results, the Leadership and
Followership Style Test has some interpretive information
included. It is important that you recognize that you will need
to go back to do some more research based on what you
find from these assessments as well. For instance, finding out
what the primary and secondary influence strategies you
use will then require you to find out more about what they mean
so that you can better describe your leadership
characteristics.
Regarding scores for the Leadership Assessment Tool
Inventory, we do not have the opportunity to obtain
scores. However, the results do provide feedback on preferred
influence strategies, quartile classifications, and a scoring
key that enables you to assess the characteristics associated
with each of the tools in the inventory. There is a wealth of
information available if you use each of these parts of each tool
11. to perform your self-assessment in addition to
performing more research.
Note: A minimum of five scholarly, educational, and
professional journal articles published within the last ten years
AND
cited in Units 1 and 2 along with the two provided assessments
should be cited in-text and included in references as
applicable to each of these objectives.

For this research, scholarly or professional

written or developed with in the last ten years are
required. News sources, general information Websites,
encyclopedias, or other similar sources may not be used.

13. 1. Include a subsection that lists strengths and another
subsection that includes areas for improvement
for each section – followership and leadership.
2. For each strength, the method(s) for continuously developing
that strength must be identified.
3. For each area for improvement, the method(s) for gaining the
knowledge and skills for improvement
must be identified.
4. Where appropriate, a target date for completion should be
included. However, as the focus is
continuous development, many of these methods will not have
such a date, given the continuous
process.
Be sure that what is included in this plan is realistic and one to
which you can make a commitment.
Note: A minimum of two different scholarly, educational, and
professional journal articles published within the last ten
years - should be cited in-text and included in references as
applicable to each of these objectives.
Unit 5: Formalize the Development Plan

Followership and
Leadership Development
Plan
Application
1. Followership: Research the diverse methods through which
you may cultivate your followership strengths and gain the
knowledge and skills necessary for growth in those areas
requiring improvement. Assess the viability of each of these
methods for your continued growth as a follower. For this
34. research, scholarly or professional journal articles, or
professional
and educational resources written or developed with in the last
ten years are required. News sources, general information
Websites, encyclopedias, or other similar sources may not be
used.
2. Leadership: Research the diverse methods through which you
may cultivate your leadership strengths and gain the knowledge
and skills necessary for growth in those areas requiring
improvement. Assess the viability of each of these methods for
your
continued growth as a leader. For this research, scholarly or
professional journal articles, or professional and educational
resources written or developed with in the last ten years are
required. News sources, general information Websites,
encyclopedias, or other similar sources may not be used.
3. Create a detailed five-year plan for the continuous
development of
a. Followership abilities.
b. Leadership abilities
For this five-year plan for these two sections, one for
followership and one for leadership, include:
1. Include a subsection that lists strengths and another
subsection that includes areas for improvement for each
section – followership and leadership.
35. 2. For each strength, the method(s) for continuously developing
that strength must be identified.
3. For each area for improvement, the method(s) for gaining the
knowledge and skills for improvement must be
identified.
4. Where appropriate, a target date for completion should be
included. However, as the focus is continuous
development, many of these methods will not have such a date,
given the continuous process.
Be sure that what is included in this plan is realistic and one to
which you can make a commitment.
Note: A minimum of two different scholarly, educational, and
professional journal articles published within the last ten years -
should be

these objectives.

Kevin A Case Study
Introduction
Kevin is a nine-grade student and has experienced language and
communication difficulties. He has a hard time learning new
words and interacting with his parents and teacher. He tends to
give up learning when he attempts to pronounce multisyllabic
words instead of using the root words. His problems are
affecting his language understanding and fluency. Kevin's
parents and teachers are working hand in hand to help hi m
42. improve his reading and fluency. They have also discussed
various strategies to help Kevin reach his set goals and
objectives. The parents have presented to him numerous multi -
syllable words and have helped him decode the words with ease.
The primary aim of this paper is to assess Kevin's situation and
recommend effective strategies to improve his communication.
Recommendations
Based on the case study, there are various challenges Kevin is
facing; as such, I believe the following strategies will play an
imperative role in improving his communication and learning.
The first recommendation is to help Kevin accomplish his goals
independently. Independent practice will allow Kevin to learn
and assess what he has learned and ways of mastering them.
According to Kuder (2003), various activities or practices can
be grouped into this category, such as video games and self-
rectifying tools. Kevin will be able to decode different syllables
after learning and rehearsing the given tasks on his own, hence
improving his decoding ability. Games can also help him to
improve his memories and learning abilities in a given
timeframe.
Decoding is the following technique that is worth explaining to
assist Kevin in reaching his objective. Using various
techniques, such as phonetic clues, contextual clues, and other
readily accessible materials, decoding helps you recognize new
words. Using a method known as Syllabication, Kevin will
identify portions of a sentence as the first stage in this
approach. Small groups, coaching classes, or even individual
exercises may all benefit from this approach. While it's crucial
to verify the students' work to ensure they're doing it properly,
a teacher shouldn't be the one conducting the checking.
The instructor may also have them perform a word sort to
improve decoding. Phrases will be sorted by the students based
on common characteristics. The learner will notice that because
numerous words follow a similar pattern if they do it this way.
To decipher multi-syllable phrases, instructors must give their
students, like Kevin, enough guidance. The perfect theory for
43. this case study is communication theory, which outlines the
significance of communication and knowledge sharing.
Communication theory can help Kevin's instructor understand
what Kevin is going through and what he can do to change the
condition.
Conclusion
Kevin has a good chance of correctly recognizing words with
more than one vowel. Once these plans are set, he will start
putting them into action. On the other hand, he has to spend
time and effort during his practice sessions. His outcome relies
on his ability to identify multi-syllable words, which is the
teacher's duty to ensure he is taught adequately. If Kevin is
provided with the right resources and has the proper assistance,
he will be capable of meeting his goals within a set time. With
independent exercise, Kevin will be better able to comprehend
and fluently recognize multi-syllable words and increase his
understanding and proficiency.
