Order Description
STATUS REPORT
Below, and attached, please find templates for the status report; one is for a traditional project, option 1, the other is adapted for those of us who are working on a consulting case project, option 2.
You do not have to follow this template precisely. You may a different format if you find it more effective.
This status report should be simple, brief and clear. I believe that 2-3 pages should be sufficient.
Note: submit this assignment here, and also share it with your Classmates in Group File Exchange (not Discussion Board) please.

Leadership approaches:

A second and overlapping timetable may be necessary if your project has a different timetable that is necessary for an organization you are working for. See me for clarification if necessary.
Self assessment:
Include a paragraph to address the following questions.
Examine your own efforts. Are you functioning at your potential? Are you proactive, experimenting with any leadership theory and practice? What do you want to do in the next 2-3 weeks to challenge yourself, embrace risk (wisely), test your leadership capability, and learn through new experience?
