The document provides guidance for developing a personal model of leadership over the course of 15 weeks. It explains that a personal leadership model should reflect one's values and beliefs and how one affects organizations, communities, and society. It outlines a process for creating a personal leadership model that involves exploring different leadership models, selecting values, and identifying how the model creates purpose and impact. Tables are provided as templates to develop one's model by listing values, behaviors, purposes, and impacts at the individual, interpersonal, organizational and societal levels. Feedback from an instructor on a draft is to be incorporated into a final 1,250-word paper presenting a complete personal leadership model.

1. Personal Model of Leadership
Read These -Instructions- BEFORE STARTING
Throughout this course, you will create a personal model of
leadership based on your research and reflections on what you
learn during the 15 weeks.
What is a personal model of leadership?
Leadership is an important dimension of personal growth and
development. Developing leadership qualities is a complex
process that involves much more than simply selecting an
appealing leadership model or participating in leadership
training. Creating a satisfying personal model of leadership,
which reflects one’s values and beliefs and impacts how one
affects organizations, communities, and society, is a lifelong
process.
What approach should I take to complete my personal
leadership model?
Building a personal leadership model can be approached from
both a systematic and holistic perspective. It also requires
creativity, passion, and a framework that leaders can use as they
explore various models of leadership over their lifetimes.The
process of creating a personal model involves continuously
exploring and analyzing various leadership models.You will
find certain elements of these models appealing and might
choose to integrate them into your own model. Others you will
not want to include. It is important to weigh the elements
against your own system of values and beliefs and select the
ones that will most enrich your own model and the lives of
those whom you lead.
What do I use to develop my personal model of leadership?
As you explore various leadership models, utilize the table

2. provided below to breakdown, select, and record their appealing
elements. You will complete the table as you move through the
process of developing your leadership model throughout the
course. This table will serve as a starting point or outline as you
think through your personal model of leadershipand write your
paper.
How do I develop my personal model of leadership?
Creating a leadership model involves the following:
1. Select the basic values that will provide the foundation and
identify the leadership behaviors that will result from those
values.As you select values for your own model, link each one
you choose to one of these following four perspectives:
a. Values that guide you from an individual or “I” perspective.
b. Values that guide you from an interpersonal perspective.
c. Values that guide you from an organizational perspective.
d. Values that guide you from a societal perspective.
2. Identify a clear approach for creating a sense of meaning and
purpose, including contributing to society.You will consider
why the values you selected are meaningful and how you can
utilize them to contribute to the greater good. Also, identify the
impact of one’s contributions to self, others, organizations, and
society. You will consider how the behaviors that result from
your foundation of values impact the world around you in a
positive and meaningful way.
Two Parts to Creating Your Personal Model of Leadership
You will write your personal model of leadership in two parts.
You will submit Part 1 in Topic 5 and receive feedback from
your instructor. You will write Part 2 in Topic 8 and combine it
with Part 1 and your instructor feedback to create one integrated
personal model of leadership (1,250-1,500 words). The 2 parts

3. involved in creating your personal model of leadership are as
follows:
Part 1:
Select the basic values that will provide the foundation of your
model and discuss the leadership behaviors that will result from
those values. Be sure to select values from each of the
following four levels: individual, interpersonal, organizational,
and societal. You will complete the “Rokeach Values Survey” to
assist you in selecting your values.
Part 2:
Identify how your personal model of leadership helps you to
create a sense of meaning and purpose for yourself, others,
organizations, and society. Then, identify the impact of your
contributions to self, others, organizations, and society.

Is there an example that I may follow to craft my leadership
model?
Below are definitionsand an example you can follow as you use
theprovided tableto think through and develop your own
personal model of leadership.
Definitions
Values and beliefs: A value or belief describes something that is
important to you. It fits into the sentence: “I value…” Examples
include integrity, respect, trust, high performance, making an
impact, and a clean environment.

4. Behaviors and action: A behavior describes the visible actions
that demonstrate (or are based on) a value. For example, if you
believe in “trust” as a value, then the behavior may be, “I
always keep private information shared with me in confidence
to myself.”
Clear approach for creating meaning and purpose: This is the
sense of meaning or purpose that you focus on based on your
values. So if you value protecting the environment, you might
outline your approach for contributing to an organization that
protects wildlife.
Impact: Impact is attaining positive results or improvements in
your area of focus. So if you are working in a wildlife
organization, it could be saving the lives of wildlife or
protecting a particular ecosystem.
