1. How you want to perform as a leader. What will be your values? What outcomes do you expect?

2. Your strengths, including what you learned from both the Reflective Best Self (RBS) exercise and your Leadership Project – detailed instruction for both the RBS and the Leadership Project are on the next page of this syllabus. My project is working on: I plan to work with neighbors and my friends to resolve the recycling problems. I am studying environmental engineering, and I want to work in the recycle and sustainability in my future career. Due to limited recognition and knowledge about recycling, many people merely throw out their trash in one tank without any categorizing. My goal in this project is to transmit consciousness of garbage classification to my neighbors and friends by teaching them how to classify different types of garbage and the right way to discard garbage. I would lead them to make a group start with garbage recycling and assist each member to achieve it. Moreover, I would help them to collect leisure obsolete clothes together and donate them to needed people. In the end, it is hard to measure or determine the success of this project. Recycling needs people a long period of time to work with it; once they get used to recycling wastes, my project would be successful Reflected Best Self Exercise (RBS): Some of the strengths you have as a leader already exist. To help you get useful feedback regarding your strengths, the RBS exercise provides a process through which you can get feedback from people who have seen you in action with others. Consider contacting people you have known in different parts of your life – your work experience, family, military, school, community, sports, etc. You will use the feedback you obtain to write a description of your behavior when you are at your best in the eyes of others. This description will provide a basis for reflection in class and will be included in your final paper. I recommend contacting five to seven people; then if some people don’t respond, you will still receive three or four good responses.

3. Your development goals – what you need to work on in order to perform better as a leader.

4. Your leadership action plan – what you will do to realize your leadership development goals. Your plan should be both actionable and realistic; and it should be something you are excited about carrying out. Please be specific. Describe specifically what will you do in the next few years to practice and improve your leadership abilities.

NOTE: many students find it easiest to write the paper in sections, one section for each of the four bullet points above. The paper will build on and reference:1. What you have written in your Self-Reflection Journal entries.2. What we discussed and read during the course.3. Feedback from your Reflective Best Self exercise.

The paper will build on and reference:

1. What you have written in your Self-Reflection Journal entries.

2. What we discussed and read during the course.

3. Feedback from your Reflective Best Self exercise. The complete, detailed responses you receive from the RBS exercise need not be included in the final paper; but if you would like to include the complete responses, feel free to add them as an appendix, which will NOT be counted toward the paper’s word count.

4. What you practiced in your “Leadership Project”.
