OL 125 Milestone Two
Overview: In this course, you will have many opportunities
to take self-assessments that will allow you to reflect on yourself as a
person, student, and professional. This second milestone gives you an
opportunity to identify your own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats for improvement as they pertain to leadership.
Prompt: For this milestone assignment, complete the SWOT
Analysis Template and write a brief reflection on a component of this analysis
that you found most interesting. The SWOT (strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats) analysis will help you determine more information
about where your additional strengths and weaknesses lie. In addition, the SWOT
analysis can help you identify opportunities that you may not have otherwise
known about in addition to helping you understand weaknesses and eliminate
threats that could keep you from moving forward.
When completing the SWOT analysis template, create a list of
at least four bullet points, in complete sentences, for each component.
Draw from your Milestone One work and feedback you received
to help you complete this assignment. Remember that both milestone assignments
will be important components to your final project in Module Seven.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be
addressed:
