The final paper is geared toward the integration of course readings, feedback, and reflection on your development as a listener and as a collaborative leader. In this paper, you will also discuss how you are going to continue your growth and development.

All students must meaningfully incorporate three readings (attached) from the semester in their papers. We have used multiple texts. Demonstrate your understanding of these readings and the work we have covered in this course by conceptualizing your growth and development in terms of not only your perceptions and experiences but also through the integration of these scholarly resources. Additional readings may be incorporated if students wish, but that is not a requirement. At least two texts should be cited, and students are encouraged to fully integrate this requirement into their papers.

Be sure to discuss and provide specific examples for each of the items below to show how you have changed or see/think about things differently.
