Business & Finance homework help

Prepare a 2-page business report in which you analyze your leadership strengths and develop a statement of who you are as a leader. Explain how coaching can be used to maximize your leadership strengths and achieve your professional goals.
Introduction
This portfolio work project helps you define who you are as a leader. It is something that would be useful to you in annual performance reviews or to use as a reminder of your strengths and best qualities.
Scenario
Your leader is interested in your development as a leader in your organization. You have recently taken the BetterUp self- assessment and have participated in at least one BetterUp coaching session. Your leader would like you to spend some time reflecting on the results of your assessment and gathering some additional information from those who know you best.
Your Role
Your role is to prepare a report in which you review and reflect on your strengths; collect additional information from 3–5 colleagues, friends, or others who know you well; and create a portrait of yourself as a leader.
Preparation
BetterUp
Before completing this assessment, you must have taken the BetterUp self-assessment and participated in one coaching session.
Additional Information
This assessment requires you to collect feedback from 3–5 people who know you best.
Because not everyone is likely to respond, you should identify at least 10 people to ask. Choose a variety of people who have had extended contact with you, such as:

• Colleagues (former or current), such as vendors, customers, or board members.
• Friends (old or recent), neighbors, or fellow volunteers.
• Family members.
• Others who know you well. Be creative in your choices.
• Try to give your respondents sufficient time to respond. You can create a feedback form or keep it simpler.
  The questions you should ask are:
• Who am I when I am at my best?
• Can you provide a specific example of a time when I was at my best?
• You can reach out by phone, e-mail, text, or in person. Analyze your leadership strengths.
  Requirements
  For this paper:
• Identify your top three strengths from the BetterUp assessment. Explain how you currently use those strengths.
• Discuss your strengths, both as identified by the BetterUp assessment and by summarizing what the people that you asked about you responded.
• Develop a statement of who you are as a leader, based on your analysis. You may wish to include your purpose, values, strengths, goals, and more. You may also wish to add to your statement who you want to be as a leader—what you aspire to. This way, your statement becomes your own vision of who you want to be.
• Explain how the live BetterUp coaching experience that you had during this course can help you use your leadership strengths and best self to achieve your professional goals.
• Deliverable Format
  Your deliverable is a 2–3-page business report. Because this is a personal reflection, you may write it in the first person and do not need to cite any supporting references. Refer to the writing resources in the MBA Program Resources in the courseroom navigation panel, especially paying attention to the MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, under Writing Skills.
