Develop a personal model of leadership (PML) with

your leadership model? e.g. credibility, vision,
traits, relationships, etc.
 Describe what you consider to be the most
important traits, skills and tasks of an effective
leader.
 Explain the core values that underpin your
leadership model and what assumptions you
made before deciding on a particular PML.
 Position your PML within the content of a/your
workplace or industry.
 Explain how the relationships in the
organisation/group that exist will benefit as a
result of using your leadership model.
 Describe the culture of the organisation/group
that would exist if your model was employed.
 Explain what you seek to achieve through
practising your PML.
 Explain why your leadership model is different
