Assignment 3 is a continuation of the first assignment where you
examined your strengths. In assignment 3, you are to create a personal plan for
developing yourself as a current or future leader and/or increasing your self-efficacy
within your chosen concentration(Social work in mental health with a sub concentration in Military Social work) or field of practice( Veteran center or non profit organization that caters to veterans). Keep in mind that a
leader does not have to have a title or play a particular role. Many significant
decisions made and actions taken are by individuals in informal leadership
capacities.
What’s your vision and goals? How and what steps and actions must
you take to achieve the goals that will make your vision a reality? There should
be one or more strength areas identified, as well. Think also about the
networks or relationships that you want to cultivate. What resources will you
need?
Also, identify what might be the challenges faced as a female or male,
person of color in a female dominated profession and how you plan to confront
these challenges in terms of the needed strengths and KSAs and those you
currently have.
Your plan should be strategic and represent a clear and thoughtful
articulation of your development as a leader and a practitioner. Identify the
areas for development clearly along with your vision and goals. State actions
you need to take and activities you need to engage in to realize your aspirations.
Each action plan should address implementation and include time frames.
Make your plan realistic. The actions, activities and implementation timeframes
should apply to short-term goals (1-3 years) 3month goal is earn (LMSW) Licensed Masters Social Work in the State of New York. and intermediate-term goals (3-5) 3 year goal earn LCSW(licensed clinical social worker)
