Note: This Assignment is divided into two parts. This week, you will complete and submit Part 1. You will complete Part 2 in Week 8 and submit your entire leadership profile in Week 8. 

Consider the following scenario:

In recognition of your growth as a leader, you have been given the opportunity to join a professional leadership network. As part of your membership, you must create a unique leadership profile that focuses on your passion and your purpose for leadership, as well as your goals. This is your opportunity to present your leadership reflections and perspectives to others in your network and to create connections that may lead to professional experiences in the future.

To prepare for this Assignment:

You should first engage in reflection. Self-reflection is an important skill in business, especially for a leader or an aspiring leader. There are a number of different models of reflection that can be utilized; however, one of the more commonly used models is the 5R Framework for Reflection (Bain, et al., 2002), which focuses on five defined stages of reflection: reporting, responding, relating, reasoning, and reconstructing. Using this framework will enable you to produce a critically engaging reflection based on your experiences. Refer to the following table for more information about the framework:

5R Stages             Description         Guidelines

Reporting

A brief descriptive account of the situation/topic

What happened, what the situation/topic is

Responding

Your emotional/personal response to the situation/topic
