Module 01 Content
The purpose of this assignment is to think about either your current or future professional
leadership goals and the skills that are required for those roles. Therefore, you will be searching
for a job in the geographical area in which you reside or where you hope to live in the future.
The following instructions detail each step of the process of this assignment.
Instructions
Find a job posting for a potential career interest (must be leadership, management, or
supervisorial-focused). Examples of job posting sites you can use include LinkedIn,
CareerBuilder, Indeed, or ZipRecruiter.
Based on what you learned in this module about the differences between management and
leadership, create a list of management functions and leadership skills/characteristics/traits
required for the job (clearly delineating what are leadership or management).
For each skill/characteristic/trait required, list some ways you can demonstrate each
requirement in the workplace (either prior to or on the job). For example, I can demonstrate my
communication skills via an email (written), cover letter(written), interview (verbal/non-verbal),
sharing experiences/examples where I have been effective as a communicator (written or
verbal).
List tools you can use or would like to use to demonstrate each skill in this course. For example, I
could create a video using YouTube to demonstrate my verbal communication skills, or I could
create a proposal in Canvas to demonstrate my organizational skills, or I could create a
presentation in PowerPoint to demonstrate my presentation and communication skills.
Submission Guidelines
Create a table or use the linked table to compile and organize the job posting skills,
leadership/management categorization, skill demonstration tactic, and tool. The table should be
submitted as a Microsoft Word document.
