Self reflection of Leadership

• Analyze your own principles, values, beliefs, and behaviors, citing examples and research to support assessment. • What are your fundamental principles (e.g., four universal principles)? • What are your core values? • What are your beliefs about people in organizations, people outside organizations, power, processes/policies, and profit? • In what ways do your behaviors align (or don’t align) to your principles, values, and beliefs? • From research, choose two leadership theories (Great man theory and Transformational theory) that you most relate to in terms of your own leadership. Provide a substantive synthesis of each leadership theory, including primary authors or researchers, the major points of each theory, and the similarities and differences between the two theories. • Analyze your leadership (Transformational leadership style) in relation to each of the two leadership theories, discussing how your principles, values, beliefs, and behaviors align (or don’t align) with each of the theories. • Compare your own leadership qualities with that of Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama. Where are you similar to that leader and where are you different from that leader? Use examples and research to support your assessment. • Using examples and research, justify at least three key insights from your study that you can use to enhance the ethical aspects of your leadership influence.
