Order Description
Hint: In the Alves et al. (2006) article, on pg. 349, the authors show a table of the components of Self-leadership. Your objective is to identify at least 6 of these that will help you develop a
self-leadership plan.
No, the article does not include a ‘plan’ as students want there to be an explicit plan laid out for them. The assignment is designed such that it requires students to read all the articles, and
then create a unique plan for themselves – since each student is different each plan will be different. What will be common among each plan is that the framework for self-leadership is clearly laid
out as a combination of (1) Behavioral focused strategies, (2) Natural rewards strategies, and (3) Constructive thought processes

Behavioral focused strategies:
• Self-observation, or increase of one’s awareness about when and why to act
• Self-goal setting, or the decision about what goals to pursue and how should be pursued
• Self-rewards, or compensations to energize oneself
• Self-punishment, or constructive self-feedback
• Self-cueing, or external signaling
Natural rewards strategies:
• Enhancement of enjoyable tasks
• Focus on enjoyable tasks
Constructive thought processes:
• Reduction of dysfunctional beliefs
• Reduction of negative self-talk
• Increase of positive self-image
Maximum of 3 pages – APA guidelines.
For your information, please see this Best practice_Self leadership Development Plan.docx The point of me sharing these best practices with you is for you to have some guidance on what to include
and not include, and how to dig deep within yourselves, and think critically about your future. Please see my comments within the document.
