A role model is someone who behaves in a way that inspires you to imitate the behavior. Perhaps someone’s way of giving feedback is so sensitive that you are inspired to adopt the method as your own.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

Your Role Model

A role model is someone who behaves in a way that inspires you to imitate the behavior. Perhaps someone’s way of giving feedback is so sensitive that you are inspired to adopt the method as your own. For instance, someone’s business attire seems perfectly suited to the occasion and exudes an attractive or powerful statement, and you wish to dress in a similar manner.

Who is your role model at work? What exactly does the person do to inspire you to the point of emulation? Think of the person’s behavior and manner of communication. What does the person say, do, or think that you wish to emulate? Is the organization a better place because of the presence of that person? Why? What particular value in the person’s behavior inspires you? If you behaved similarly, would your career be enhanced? How?

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings and views of at least two classmates, providing your opinion on their choice and justification of the role model.
