This option entails an assessment of Real Time Case—Cava’s Leadership: Incumbent Leader. During this process, you will create a consulting/coaching report to recommend how this leader can be more effective. Thus, your job is to prepare a Personal Development Plan (PDP) tailored to the needs of this individual.
The leader’s PDP will allow the leader to better understand himself or herself, as an individual, as a member of teams, and as an organizational citizen, as well as to create opportunities for improvement goals. Thus, the PDP provides an understanding of this leader’s current characteristics and how the leader can become more effective as a follower, a leader, and a team member. Include theories and concepts from the course in your response. Remember to comply with the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA (Links to an external site.) in citing your sources and creating your reference page, as well as the entire format of the submission.
