Description
1. What are your career aspirations and why? Why is now the best time for you to begin the program? Describe your career progress to date and your future “short-term” and “long-term” career goals. How do you anticipate the DSL will assist you in achieving these career goals? What skills do you expect to gain from the DSL and how will they contribute to your professional career?
*Note: Career goals help you to identify and develop skill sets that are relevant and meet or exceed anticipated industry and/or employer expectations.
2. What does biblical "leadership" look like? Choose “one” King from the Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings text. Which leadership style do you see reflected in the narrative, and why? Did your selected King’s leadership reflect God’s character and/or honor God’s command, and why?
3.
Integrity is loosely defined as an adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; and honesty. Academic integrity means honesty and responsibility in scholarship. Both are critical attributes that translate into one’s current and/or future vocation. How will you “achieve” and “maintain” Academic Integrity while in the DSL program? What does it look like at the doctoral level? How “do you” or “will you” ensure you adhere to standards of integrity in your chosen vocation?

All managers and aspiring managers need to develop leadership skills to be effective in
today’s organizations. Therefore, I want to study leadership to become a manager that also
doubles up as a leader and thus inspires the people I work with to become the best versions of

the whole organization and be in a better position to implement the changes I feel like will
benefit the stakeholders better than now. Up to now, even though I have been able to make
contributions to the success of my organization, my contributions have been limited to
departmental levels.
My short-term goals are to be better suited to make leadership decisions at the levels I
