Your final assignment in your first course will bring together all the aspects of leadership that you have examined and discussed over the last nine weeks as you analyze your own leadership qualities, to create a portrait of the effective health care professional and leader you aspire to be.
This assignment requires you to develop a leadership portrait of yourself, so you may write this paper in first-person voice. However, is important to remember that academic writing should usually be done in the third person. There are very few exceptions to this. If you have any questions about this, please contact your courseroom instructor, or post a question in the Ask Your Teaching Assistant area of the PSL and NHS Learner Success Lab page.

Select and identify one leadership theory or style that you believe best aligns with your own thoughts of what leadership means. You will use that theory or style to analyze your strengths and weaknesses.
