You work as a director of leadership and learning for a company

 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

You work as a director of leadership and learning for a company that makes prosthetics. The company has been in business since 1999 and employs over 350 people in its Tampa, Florida, headquarters and three plant locations across the Southwest. While the business is currently based in the United States, the company is exploring ways to move into Canadian markets within the next three years.

This year’s employee engagement survey results for the company show that some leadership areas were rated lower, while some were rated higher.

The new chief human resources officer (CHRO) meets with the team to discuss the general results. Everyone agrees the focus will be on specific leadership development areas that are perceived as strengths and areas for improvement, primarily in regard to social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and the interpersonal skills of effective leaders. As part of the change management, the vice president of leadership and learning, your manager, asks you to create an adaptive leadership toolkit and, subsequently, to self-assess and create a personal leadership plan to test its efficacy.
