The document outlines requirements for a 2,500 word management report. It requires the report to critically discuss approaches to leadership and performance using examples from organizations. It also requires an evaluation of the author's own leadership skills based on feedback and an implementation plan for developing leadership skills, including timescales, facilitators, barriers, and evaluation of the development solution. The implementation plan may include informal and formal learning initiatives.

1. The brief is to write a 2,500 word management report.
· Drawing upon relevant theory from the module, critically
discuss the main approaches to leadership and performance
· By using examples of specific organisations critically analyse
the leadership behaviours observed and approaches used, and
assess the link between leadership performance and
organisational performance
· Drawing upon relevant concepts, theories and models from the
module, evaluate your own leadership skills highlighting where
further development may be necessary. Include any sources of
feedback such as annual appraisals or self-assessment activities
· Include an implementation plan for your future development
needs in relation to leadership skills. Ensure you consider the
following: timescales; level of feasibility (e.g. how deeply
ingrained is a particular behaviour?); potential facilitators (e.g.
having a mentor); and, potential barriers and how these might
be addressed (e.g. lack of sponsorship); how any development
solution will be evaluated.
The implementation plan may include initiative based on
informal learning (e.g. informal coaching, learning from
colleagues etc) as well as formal learning (e.g. company
workshops, formal coaching and mentoring, sponsoring
education courses such as the MBA).
