Module 3 – CaseLEADERS AND LEADERSHIPCase Assignment
Once again, we will be considering an experience which has personal significance for you as a means of understanding the material from this module. For this Case Assignment, think about a situation involving leadership that made a strong impression on you. Please structure your essay in the following format, using the subtopics as headings. Your paper should be 4\u20136 pages, plus a title page and a references page. <\/p>\n
Introduction:\u00a0Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it.\u00a0 It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper.
Concrete Experience:\u00a0 Objectively describe the leadership experience.\u00a0 It could be a situation where you were in a leadership position, or one in which you were working under someone else as leader. The situation could have been a good experience or a failure in leadership. The important consideration is that it is a situation which you would like to understand better. In this section, strive to be objective and stick to the facts\u2014who, what, where, when, and how.
Reflective Observation:\u00a0Step back and consider the situation from different points of view.\u00a0 How did you feel\u2014what were your thoughts at the time? It is also critical to consider the experience of others involved.\u00a0 How do you think they were feeling? Did they see things the same way you did? The key to this section of your paper is to understand the experience not only from your own perspective,\u00a0but also\u00a0to develop the ability to be able to look at the situation through others\u2019 eyes. Use these different perceptions to add depth and meaning to your objective description. <\/p>\n
Abstract Conceptualization:\u00a0There are many readings and other materials explaining various models of leadership in the background section of this module. Use\u00a0at least\u00a0three of them to help explain the behavior of the leader and the followers in this incident. How do the models of leadership and power presented in the background material help you understand your behavior as well as how others reacted (commitment, compliance, or resistance?) Use proper citations and referencing when referring to any material from the background pages or any additional outside research. (Outside research not required, but you may supplement the background material if you choose. It should not replace the background readings and videos, but acts as an additional source.)
(Remember: The abstract conceptualization section is the \u201cheart\u201d of your paper. Your ability to clearly and logically apply concepts of leadership to explain your own experience is essential to demonstrating critical thinking.)
Active Experimentation:\u00a0What have you learned about effective leadership from this exercise? What have you learned about how the leadership style influences follower\u2019s reactions and motivation? What actions would you take to revise or improve upon your own leadership style and practices to be more effective in the future?
Conclusion:\u00a0Sum up the main points of your analysis and the key learning you are taking from it.
Reference List:\u00a0 List all references that you have cited in the paper using APA formatting.\u00a0 References include materials from the required background readings as well as any outside internet or library sources you used in researching and writing your paper. If you have APA questions, refer to the optional listings on the background page.
