Shadowing a Leader
Shadowing a Leader
INSTRUCTIONS
Third notice and due date of the Shadowing a Leader. Please post your assignments for Instructional Grading.
Each student was responsible for developing a set of interviews or dialogue points to provide for the leader prior to their meetings. Each student should have set up a minimum of three meetings, one of which can be, with the leader’s permission, to observe or shadow the leader at work.
The analysis should include the leaders:
• Leadership philosophy
• Vision and goals for the organization
• Conflict management techniques and suggestions
• Methods for establishing and building trust
• Methods for empowering others.
The results of this field research assignment will be shared in two ways:
1) A written report in APA style in the assignment thread.
2) A presentation as a PowerPoint submitted in a Discussion Thread for student view and for the purpose of receiving feedback from your peers.
First, there are two parts to this project. There is a written paper, and a PowerPoint. The written paper should be no less than 5 pages and should be written in APA format. The PowerPoint won’t have as much detail but does need to include everything from the paper.
Please be creative with your PowerPoint.
You should have already met with or are getting ready to meet with your leader. If your state is still under quarantine you will need to conduct the research via FaceTime, Conference, Zoom, or MS Teams.
Five of the questions you should have already established are.
1. What is their Leadership philosophy
2. What is their vision and goals for the organization/company?
4. How do they handle conflict or what are their conflict management techniques?
6. What methods do they use to establish and build trust?
7. How do you or what are your methods to empower others?
You will also need to identify 3-5 of your own well thought out interview questions. This is in addition to the five already identified above.
Most importantly, don’t forget the introduction and conclusion. Hint (Intro) Include some background information regarding the leader and company they work for and why you chose this leader. (Conclusion) What did you learn from this assignment?
Followership and Leadership Burnout
Followership and Leadership Burnout
This course revolves around ethical leadership and management. The primary topic of this paper is to explore the influence of followers upon leaders and vice versa in the context of leadership burnout. For example, will a lack of good followers provoke more rapid leader burnout? Will leaders entering burnout drive good followers away or draw opportunists? HOW is ethics involved in this situation?
The paper should be a thoughtful analysis and not a general summary of the topic. It should also include at least three leadership theories and exhibit solid reasoning – correctly citing and applying the concepts, principles, and theories of ethics and leadership.
The paper should be prepared using the APA format. Grading will stress content analysis and style. Seek to creatively APPLY leadership theory. The paper work must be more than a mere review of facts and articles. It must demonstrate reasoning by APPLYING at least three relevant theories and models together to analyze the topic. The paper must be at least three thousand words in length, not counting tables, figures, reference list, and the abstract. It must correctly cite and use at least 12 references. ALL cited sources must appear both within the body of the text and in the references list. The paper must use articles from at least 2 respected journals or books.
Here is a suggested outline:
TITLE PAGE ABSTRACT – limit to one page
INTRODUCTION – Short! Explain why the topic is important! Include the objectives of the paper
LITERATURE REVIEW ANALYSIS – Apply the models; make inferences, draw conclusions
DISCUSSION – Discuss the implications of your findings above, especially for managers
CONCLUSION – Restate your conclusions and sum up, in about on half-page
REFERENCES
APPENDICES (optional)
In choosing a topic, avoid shallow, insipid generalities ( e.g. “the importance of leadership”)
Choose a topic of current importance that has not already been overdone. Also, where possible, exemplify your concepts and conclusions by consistently referring to a single, real, focal leader (Avoid US Presidents and generals).
