What actions can you take to help address your reactive tendencies (from your LCP) that you shared in question 1?

Reflect on the concepts of power and influence. Briefly discuss your perspective on your current level of power and influence in your work and life. Is this level satisfactory to you? How may your response tie into you being in an MBA program? (Note: for the final PLS paper, you will integrate many of the topics from this class and discuss your MBA journey).
PART 5 – Integration 5 pts (again, be sure to attach your LCP graph (the circle) when you submit your paper)
Thoughtfully integrate your learnings from all aspects of this class. Create your leadership development plan that includes your reasoning.
