II. Reflection on influential leaders in your life

            Reflect on two specific leaders who have been highly influential in your life. Briefly describe who they are, and what they did to be such influential leaders in your life. Support your position with specific examples.

III. You as a leader

From your perspective, what are things that I can do to improve as a leader?

For the write up of this section, feel free to use bullet points to report answers to the questions

V. Your leadership philosophy and plans to act

            Did I see good or poor examples of leadership in my service experience? (Explain what you saw as good leadership and what you saw as poor leadership.)

            How did the leadership I saw in my service experience match with my philosophy of leadership?

            Would you do things differently or the same way as leaders you saw in your service experience? (Explain what you would do differently or the same and why).

Leadership studies demonstrate that the most effective leaders know  how to draw upon self-leadership skills to in turn motivate and lead  others to expand their strengths to ultimately better serve the goals of  an organization. For this assignment, you will continue to study  conscious leadership and look at a leadership example from contemporary  media and evaluate how well the particular leader exemplifies the  qualities of effective and ethical conscious leadership. 

Select a  relevant and topical leadership issue from current news media that  revolves around ethics and ethical decision-making. Research the  situation and gather information in order to evaluate the leader. Keep  in mind, the issue that you choose will serve as the backdrop for your  evaluation while using the key terms and concepts covered in your course  readings. Write an evaluation of a minimum of 1,000-1,250 of the  situation that addresses the following:

• The power bases used by the leader.
• The influence tactics used by the leader.
• The leadership style of the leader.
• The outcome (or potential outcome) of the situation.

Conclude  by justifying whether you think this leader supports the values of  conscious capitalism. Is the leader’s leadership style effective? Do you  believe the leader acted ethically in the situation? Be sure to  consider each tenet of conscious capitalism in your leader evaluation.

Next,  imagine yourself as a practitioner of servant leadership. You have been  appointed into the leadership role in this same circumstance. Explain  how the situation would be different. Address the four criteria listed  above in your discussion and incorporate the principles of conscious  capitalism by explaining how your personal values and style are  influenced by each tenet.

Strengthen your claims in each content section with supporting citations and specific examples.

In a PowerPoint presentation,

• Analyze seven key leadership competencies observed in The Last Lecture 
• Identify how these competencies relate to various leadership styles.
• Determine how these leadership competencies apply to organizational success.
• Must be 10 slides in length (not including title and references slides) and formatted according to APA Style

Reading Assignment: Read the case study – “BoldFlash: Cross-Functional Challenges in the Mobile Division”. Directions for obtaining the case study are given below.

Writing Assignment # 2 – 10% of Final Grade: This week we will be working on Writing Assignment # 2 instead of the regular homework assignment. This assignment involves reading a case study and answering discussion questions relating to the case. Material from Chapters 6-8 of the course text should be particularly helpful, but you are encouraged to use relevant material from the entire course as needed. Other than the course text, you should utilize the case study, your own experience, and additional references as needed. Considerable thought should be given to these questions and a well rounded discussion should be provided.

References: At least 2 references should be provided other than the course text.

A complete reference of the work using APA guidelines should be listed in a reference section at the end of the assignment. Simply listing a website as a reference with no author, title, publication identification, or date is not considered an acceptable reference. Use credible references from peer reviewed articles or from respected organizations and publications. Do not use Wikipedia as a source.

Formatting: Writing Assignment # 2 is not a term paper and other than references only a few formatting issues will be specified. Respond to the questions in the order they are asked and identify each response by its corresponding question number. List each question before providing an answer. Each response should be double spaced and approximately ½ page in length. Include a reference section at the end of the paper. The final length of this assignment should be between 2 and 3 double spaced pages (not including the reference section).

Grading: Writing Assignment # 2 will primarily be graded based on the clarity, accuracy, and insight provided in your responses. Be sure to consider the material we have covered in the course text, your experience, and references from other sources where appropriate. Answer each question directly and provide appropriate discussion. Your writing should be concise so that it answers each question thoroughly, but within a minimum amount of space.

Coaching and selling style- used with individuals or groups with potential but haven’t realized it

Participating and supporting style – best used with ready individuals or groups

Delegating and empowering style- used with exceptionally ready and capable individuals and groups

Developmental leadership- an approach that helps groups evolve effectively and achieve highly supportive, open, creative, committed, high performing membership

Heroic managers- managers who have a great need for control or influence and who want to run things

Transformational leadership- converts followers into leaders and may convert leaders into moral agents

Transactional leadership- leaders identify desired performance standards and recognize what types of rewards employees want from their work

Adaptive leadership- organizational members take a hard look at the past to identify what to hold on to, while deciding what needs to go. Employee participation in the change process is the key.

A MEAL paragraph is a format that helps guide the writer in literary analysis writing. It is an acronym for: Main Idea – the paragraph’s central focus, what you are trying to prove within the paragraph. Evidence – examples that help prove the main idea (and, in a longer paper, the thesis). Analysis – This section is the most important part of the paragraph; it is where the writer digs deep into the evidence and explains how and why it proves the thesis. Transcend what the quotation, or any other from of evidence, says and explain connections that you personally come up with. REMEMBER: EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY!!! Last Thought/Linking Sentence – If you’re just writing a paragraph, use this sentence to restate the Main Idea (in a different way!) and wrap up your thoughts. For a longer paper, connect your main idea back to your paper’s thesis. Sometimes teachers will tell you to transition to the next paragraph’s idea.

Once you have written your paper, make sure the font color is black and remove these instructions.

This is an example of the ANA Postion paper. It does not have the headings that you would have in your paper. It is otherwise formatted correctly for APA 7th edition. Remove this textbox.
