Assessment Task 1:
Assessment Task - Personal Profiling: Do your capabilities suggest you could be an effective transformational leader?
Description and requirements
You are required to complete at least two self-assessment leadership profiling tools. On completion compare, analyse and report the significance of the results with respect to your potential as a transformational leader.
All instruments are provided on the Unit USB or can be accessed via the online learning system or from your lecturer. Instruments provided to complete self-assessment of leadership attributes, include, but are not necessarily limited to, assessment of:
• Behaviours
• Competencies
• Capabilities
• Styles
• Types
• Preferences
The aim of this activity is to encourage you to reflect on the qualities of leadership and to define your personal attributes. You do not need to include the actual assessments. If you choose to include results they should only be provided as an attachment to the main paper. The paper should be written in an academic style and include at least 8 references to support your analysis and the observations made regarding your potential as a transformational leader.
Assessment Task 2:
Assessment Task - Compare transactional and transformational leadership models
Description and requirements
Complete a comparative investigation into contemporary leadership by looking at transactional and transformational leadership models. In your response consider the following:
a) Define transactional and transformational leadership and critically consider the balance of attributes a contemporary leaders should display.
b) Confirm the weaknesses contemporary organisations have exposed in both the charismatic and ‘Great Man' leadership approaches. How have more recent transformational leadership practitioners and theorists sought to redress these weaknesses?
This assessment forms the major written work set for this unit. The assessment is to be written as an academic essay. See the Essay/report assessment criteria sheet on the following page for information about the criteria and the standards by which your work will be judged.

NOTE: The change plan can be constructed for an organisation or part of an organisation (entity). This organisation can be known to the student, be identified through research (case study, online search, etc.) or be conceptual (created for the purposes of this work). If in doubt students should contact the unit coordinator to confirm the validity of the entity chosen for this assignment.
This is to be written as a report with the requirement that Part C to the question, as a minimum, include use of relevant academic references to support your plan.
