The Done Differently Analysis is a short essay in which you reflect on one of your own, past experiences in an organization (personal or professional), analyzing what you could or should have done differently in light of what you have learned in class. This essay will help you to connect the course learnings with your leadership. It will also allow you to reflect on successful and failed strategies, which will help you better prepare and respond in the future.
Although you will inevitably need to describe what happened during a past experience, the analysis should not be a detailed report of everything that happened. Instead, you should focus on analyzing what could or should have happened if you had known the course lessons discussed to-date—and why. In addition to discussing how the process would have differed, you might also reflect on how the outcome would have differed.
A high-quality analysis is one that steps back from a situation, identifies key events and processes, uses course concepts to help structure the analysis, and does so in a well-written fashion. The analysis should be no longer than two pages typed.

Please tell us the name of the leader you chose, why you chose them, what they do for work, and how they have brought about influence and or change among the people they are leading. After your initial post, (when responding to others) comment on whether or not you agree with the leaders they chose and why. (The goal of this discussion is to highlight factors and traits that we believe great leaders possess and why)

Overview:
As you wrote your course paper demonstrating mastery of leadership scholarship through program outcome mastery, you may have noticed gaps in your application of leadership competencies, skills, and behaviors. For example, you might have developed a strong understanding of what the literature says is needed to implement planned change, but maybe you have never actually been part of a planned change project. Therefore, you might determine that you have an experiential gap in implementing planned change. Or, perhaps you have a difficult time determining what is the best diagnostic method to use when determining what changes to implement. In that case, you might judge that you have an implementation gap in diagnosing planned change.
As Marshall Goldsmith told me, if you did not notice any opportunities for improvement, you might start with a gap in humility.
Post & Engage
– Describe three to five gaps or opportunities for improvement in your application of leadership competencies, skills, and behaviors.
