Assignment Description

 

You are required to produce a reflective piece of writing detailing your personal learning journey through this module. During the module you will have had multiple opportunities for reflective writing and carried out self-assessments and other enquiries. You are expected to synthesize these pieces of writing into a new piece which shows your personal learning about leadership and managing change. Whilst this is a personal reflective piece, you must link your writing to the theory and concepts covered in the module and consider the application of your learning in healthcare settings. You are required to refer to at least 2 critical incidents that taught you something about leadership and/or managing change. Your write up of these incidents should be attached to your assignment as appendices. You may also use self-assessment questionnaires (e.g. strengths assessment) and other thinking or decision-making tools (e.g., PESTLE, SWOT, Kotter’s 8 Steps, Lewin’s model) to inform your writing. Please also attach these as appendices where relevant. As this is a reflective piece you are expected to write in the first person.

 

It is important that the content is underpinned with the inclusion of relevant academic theory, concepts, and models where appropriate, as well as contemporary industrial insights. These should be accurately cited and referenced according to York St John Harvard Referencing throughout.
