C203 asks leaders to look at themselves with evidence before they lead others. The samples here build a leadership profile from several assessments and then test a manager's own style against leadership theories in a real situation.

What C203 is really about

Becoming an Effective Leader is a leadership course in WGU's management and leadership programs. It develops self-awareness through assessments of leadership behavior, cultural intelligence and character strengths, and it asks students to evaluate theories of leadership, from trait and behavioral approaches to situational, servant, transactional and transformational leadership, as they relate to their own practice.

C203 is assessed through a pair of written tasks. One builds a personal leadership profile from assessment results and reflection; the other applies leadership theories to the student's own leadership and to a situation in their organization. Because the tasks rest on the student's own assessment results, the samples on this shelf use a composite manager whose results are described in plain terms; the leadership research cited is real. Strong submissions also show change over time, describing what the manager will do differently next quarter and how a colleague or supervisor will confirm the change.

What C203’s tasks ask for

Expect C203 to have you summarize and interpret your assessment results, identify strengths and development areas, and create a development plan; then evaluate leadership theories, explain which best describes your style and apply them to a leadership situation.

Why C203 tasks come back for revision

Tasks are often returned when results are summarized without interpretation, when development goals do not connect to the weaknesses identified, or when theories are defined but not applied to the student's own situation.
