Based on information gleaned from leadership instruments and any other self-analytical instruments (a minimum of five attached), readings, class discussions, interviews, and other activities, prepare a case study including a leadership development plan on the most important person currently living in the world – YOU. Study the following material, consult with your mentors in the workplace and/or significant others, and spend some quiet reflective time, before preparing the case study. Try to limit your written case study to the 4-6 double-spaced typewritten pages; you may wish to append material to support your case study. A case study is a collection of objective and subjective data about a person which is drawn from many sources. It may be compiled from tests (e.g., psychological, standardized, aptitude), personnel records, interviews, observations, samples of work or productivity (“portfolios”), administrator and/or peer assessments, etc. The case study serves as a means for those in a helping relationship (doctors, teachers, professors, counselors) to become better acquainted with a student or client. By organizing all data into a single document and then analyzing these data, additional information needs can be determined, problems can be identified, patterns can be noted, and conflicting data revealed. But, most importantly, a prescription can be provided to help the person grow in a desired direction. Note that a case study should not be confused with a case history. The latter is usually a compilation of objective, factual information about a student or client. The case study may include all or part of the case history (or it may not) but it includes an analysis and interpretation of the data so that specific recommendations can be made. This implies finding solutions to identified problems. A carefully prepared case study should result in plans for changes in the behavior and attitude of the person who is the subject of the case study. It is most important that the insights, conclusions, and recommendations reported in a case study be written clearly and concisely and within an appropriate context. It is also important that a definite distinction be made between what are objective facts and what are interpretations of those facts. The following are recommendations to consider when writing the case study on YOU. ·Consider conceptualizing the case study related to the objectives for this assignment into three parts: The subject: Who is s/he? What is her/his profile relative to leadership? The context and philosophy: What does the situation look like in the institution/agency/system where the person is employed or wishes to be employed? What would the person like for it to be? What research/philosophical base should be employed to move the context closer to the ideal as desired by the subject of the case study? The plan: What is “the plan?” What action needs to be taken by or for this person that results in leadership behavior at the institution in which s/he is employed OR at the institution/agency/system where s/he wishes to be employed? · Use a format and writing style that makes it easy for those studying the report to verify data and confirm the analysis and prescription. Perhaps you can append test scores, results of inventories, evaluative reports, etc. Write the report in first or third person, please be consistent. · Do not report unverified information gathered from secondary sources or “hunches” as objective fact; conversely, don’t be afraid to bring intelligent, intuitive perspective to the analysis – just don’t pass it off as objective data. · Work on internal consistency in your case; that is, the prescription (leadership plan) should be congruent with the description of the case study and the context/philosophy relevant to the situation. · Plan to confer at least once with your professor to discuss your progress with this plan. Seek his input and suggestions. Do this after you’ve done some planning, but before “too much” has been done. This can be done by phone, email, or in person. It is suggested that you schedule an appointment if the conference is to be by phone or in person (suggested but not absolute). · Must utilize data from at least five of the instruments. · Create a plan that will serve as a roadmap to develop and enhance your leadership potential. Be specific and offer measurable indices. · Have fun and be creative!
