Professional Development Plan Research Paper

Professional Development Plan: Leadership Reflection A leader is someone who guides, molds, and influence others to be better to reach the goal envisioned by the team or the organization. In this class, I have learned the importance of the leaders, as well as the followers. Without followers, there will be no leaders and vice versa. Both work hand in hand to be able to achieve a certain goal in an organization. In this final paper for the class, a reflection of what I have learned in this class in becoming an effective leader, what are my leadership capabilities, and where I envision myself in the future will be discussed. I will also specify my goals, plans, and a timeframe for achieving my professional objectives.

This will help me realize if I need to adjust some of my approach as a leader. I will also continue to keep in touch with my mentors to help exchange knowledge and advice.
