This is applied for example to Journaling: Journaling assists in capturing the essential elements of a lesson (What?), reflecting on what that means for you as an individual (So What?), and developing a process for integrating any lessons learned into your future development (Now What?). Please reflect on the direction below and capture your ideas here. This is your final reflection, and we hope that you look back over the past 14 weeks and use what you have learned to respond to these questions.

Assess your competence as a change leader. Reflect on the 6 leadership competencies outlined in the reading from Week 13 (communication, collaboration, confidence, cohesion, climate, and conversion). Which of those do you feel that you already have some competency in? Which are ones that you need to intentionally develop more competency in? Why do you feel that way? 1. What does effective leadership mean to you? This is not an academic exercise, but a personal exploration. Dig deeply into your history to identify the important lessons you've learned in your life about what you value in leadership skills/traits. Select those experiences where someone else taught you the lesson (where you were the object) rather than when you are the leader (subject) of the experience. Keep in mind that these experiences may be positive or negative. Once you've identified the skill or trait and shared the experience in your entry, be sure to write about the impact the experience had on you so that you can show why this needs to be part of your definition. In the end, this should be an in-depth analysis of what you believe to be "right" as it pertains to leadership. You may find it helpful to prioritize the skills/traits and choose the top 3 or 4. 2. Include an evaluation of your current leadership skills against this model. Do you currently have these skills (or lack these skills, as the case may be)? Make sure that you provide some clear rationale for your assessment. 3. Describe your desired leadership legacy. Using the Life Thesis activity from Chapter 4, describe what want your leadership legacy to be. 4. Take an action plan. Using what you learned in Chapter 11 and your own experiences as a guide, describe what new opportunities you will create or seek out to practice and refine your leadership skills and competencies. Create an action plan for any "deficiencies." This must be a specific, step-by-step plan that will help you get where you want to be. (For example, to say "I will be more trusting of others" is not specific enough. How will you make that happen? Set specific goals.)
