Personal Mastery Paper
What is a personal mastery paper?
Personal mastery is the discipline of lifelong
learning and self-development. Its
essence, as Senge (1990) puts it, is “learning
how to generate and sustain creative
tension in our lives” (p. 124). Creative tension
is the product of two important self-
development practices, first, “continuously clarifying what is
important to us” and
second, “continuously learning how to see current
reality more clearly” (p. 141).
Personal mastery is not a place where we
arrive, but rather it is a process, a
lifelong
discipline of taking responsibility for our personal
learning and growth.
What is the writing process?
Yourpaper will include four parts, based on an
autobiographical method of
professional learning inquiry known as currere

12. (Pinar, 1975)1, which explores the
experiences giving shape to a person’s
professional self-understanding and life’s
work. The essence of this method involves your
movementthrough four reflective
moments: (a) the past, (b) the future, (c) the
analysis, and (d) the synthesis.
(a) The past. Remember the past leadershipexperiences
and leadershiprole
models you’ve had; consider how theseexperiences
influenced the formation
of your own personal leadershipattitudes, ideas,
capabilities and behaviours.
These memories may be either positive or
negative experiences of leadership.
a. Identify a childhood memory of leading, or
being led.
b. Identify an adolescence memory of leading, or
being led.
c. Identify a young to middle adulthood
memory of leading, or being led.
(b) The future. Imagine the type of leader you
aspire to become, using George’s
(2016) authentic leadershipmodel as a framework
for clarifying your vision.
Consider threeleadershipcontexts in articulating your
personal vision:

13. a. Begin by exploring your personal vision of your
self-leadership—that
is, describe your vision of the life you want to
create for yourself and
how you will take responsibility for generating this
life for yourself.
b. Then, consider how you might extend your
leadership, by coaching
others in their own self-leadership and collaborations
with others.
c. Lastly, imagine how you might lead in
organizational/social contexts.
End this section with one example of a SMART
leadershipdevelopment goal.

14. (c) The analysis. Analyze your present self-development
as a leader by (a) your
potential strengths as a leader, (b) the obstacles
you might face in achieving
your leadershipdevelopment goal, and (c) options you
have to help you
successfully achieve your goal. In your analysis, identify
one way your
personality (based on your Birkman report) can
(a) be a potential strength,
(b) an obstacle to achieving your goal, and (c) expand
your options to
achieving your goal. Lastly, assess if you are
generating sufficient creative
tension (or not) as a leader in your life in
order to achieve your goal.
(a) The synthesis. Define how you intend to resolve
the creative tension you are
creating as a self-leader, connecting your past
and future to your present.
Specifically, outline your way forward—that is, your
plan—to achieving your
leadershipdevelopment goal. Identify the commitments
you must make and
the supports you need to achieve your leadership
development goal and
ultimately your vision of becoming the leader you
aspire to be. Also, outline
the feedback structure, or success cycle system
that you need to put in place
to make continuous improvements towards
achieving your goal and vision.

15. What are the grading expectations?
A paper meeting all the expectations below
