PART I – PROPOSAL (There will be 4 parts of this project, this is just part I) (Don’t do the other parts yet) Basic information: · Length of assignment: one page · Format: Typed in MLA format. Directions for PART I: Write a one-page proposal on the topic of your choice. It should answer these questions: a. The topic are you writing about b. Why it is a compelling ethical problem with a global scope? (briefly, why does this issue matter?) c.

It should answer these questions: the topic are you writing about; why it is a compelling ethical problem; why it is a global problem; and what research you plan to do in writing about it. 2. Annotated Bibliography: This part of the assignment, about 1½ pages, is a summary of the research you have done to this point. Typically, you will need three or four sources, which are a combination of informational research and of essays on ethical problems involved in the topic. 3. Development Response: This response, also about 1½ pages, is more than a rough draft. It is a self-reflexive response. That is, you will be writing about writing the essay.

You will include all writing you have done thus far as a single document. Notes: 1. You are responsible for choosing your own topic. I recommend putting time into the choice. I think it would save you much time and grief to find a topic that you don’t need to change between now and the next step in the assignment (Like Your Part II – Annotated Bibliography). 2. What is a “compelling ethical problem with a global scope”? a. “Compelling”: For a topic to be compelling means that it demands the attention of others.

1. PART I – PROPOSAL
(There will be 4 parts of this project, this is just part I)
(Don’t do the other parts yet)
Basic information:
· Length of assignment: one page
· Format: Typed in MLA format.
Directions for PART I:
Write a one-page proposal on the topic of your choice. It should
answer these questions:
a. The topic are you writing about
b. Why it is a compelling ethical problem with a global scope?
(briefly, why does this issue matter?)
c. What research you plan to do in writing about it
Components (There will be 4 Parts for this project)
1. Proposal (This is the one you have to do this time, don't do
the others yet)
2. Annotated Bibliography (Next week)
3. Development Response
4. Final Project due
A more detailed look at each step
1. Proposal: A one-page proposal on the topic of your choice. It
should answer these questions: the topic are you writing about;
why it is a compelling ethical problem; why it is a global
problem; and what research you plan to do in writing about it.
2. Annotated Bibliography: This part of the assignment, about
1½ pages, is a summary of the research you have done to this
point. Typically, you will need three or four sources, which are
a combination of informational research and of essays on ethical
problems involved in the topic.
3. Development Response: This response, also about 1½ pages,
is more than a rough draft. It is a self-reflexive response. That
is, you will be writing about writing the essay. These topics

2. include: what problems you think you are going to face, and
how you plan to address them.
4. Final Project: The final project is the culmination of the work
you have done all term. You will include all writing you have
done thus far as a single document.
Notes:
1. You are responsible for choosing your own topic. I
recommend putting time into the choice. I think it would save
you much time and grief to find a topic that you don’t need to
change between now and the next step in the assignment (Like
Your Part II – Annotated Bibliography).
2. What is a “compelling ethical problem with a global scope”?
a. “Compelling”: For a topic to be compelling means that it
demands the attention of others. That is, because or if it isn’t
addressed, then some terrible or injustice is occurring or will
occur. One way to test your topic is to ask yourself two
questions: 1) Does this topic matter to me?; and 2) Do I believe
that this topic should matter to other people?
b. “Ethical”: How does this issue demonstrate either a failure to
fulfill an important obligation or a failure to achieve a good or
better outcome?
c. “With a global scope”: The topic does not need to touch
everyone in the world, but it does need to show how an issue
can touch different parts of the globe or is an example of a
problem that we might find in several places throughout the
world. For example, one nation’s struggle with immigration
might be seen in many other nations.
3. What are examples of possible topics? You will need to
consult your textbook for an overview of the problem or of the
concepts that relate to the problem, so I put the relevant chapter

3. in parentheses beside the topic. Here are some possible topics:

Creating a Personal Model of Leadership
Instructions
You will create a personal model of leadership based on your
research and reflections on what you learn throughout this
course.
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,

5. 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
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 leadership and 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:

6. 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
Essay 1:
Select values from the “Rokeach Values Survey” that will
provide the foundation of your model and discuss the leadership
behaviors that will result from those values (850-1,000 words).
Be sure to select values for each of the following four levels:
individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal. You will
complete the “Rokeach Values Survey” located in topic
materials to assist you in selecting your values.
Essay 2: Rokeach Values Survey Reflection – see last 2 bottom
pages below for survey answers
1) Utilize the "Rokeach Values Survey" to help you determine
your values hierarchy, which will assist you in the development
of your personal model of leadership. Note that when the
instructions mention a box, it is referring to the space/line
beside a value. After ranking the values according to the
instructions, identify your top three terminal values and your
top three instrumental values.
2) Submit a 500-word reflection that identifies your values

7. hierarchy and explains the significance it might have on your
leadership style.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the
APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An
abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the
expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for
assistance.
Is there an example that I may follow to craft my leadership
model?
Below are definitions and an example you can follow as you use
the provided table to 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.
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.”

8. 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.

Below is a blank table for your use. Copy and paste it into your
own document and begin completing it as you start examining a
variety of leadership models. Add to it as you are exposed to
more leadership qualities that appeal to you. Utilize your
completed table as a resource to draft your own personal
leadership model. You do not need to submit this chart with
your assignments.

11. Rokeach Value Survey
On the following two pages are two lists of values, each in
alphabetical order. Each value is accompanied by a short
description and a blank space. Your goal is to rank each value
in its order of importance to you for each of the two lists. Study
each list and think of how much each value may act as a guiding
principle in your life.
To begin, select the value that is of most importance to you.
Write the number 1 in the blank space next to that value. Next,
choose the value is of second in importance to you and write the
number 2 in the blank next to it. Work your way through the list
until you have ranked all 18 values on this page. The value that
is of least importance to you should appear in Box 18.
When you have finished ranking all 18 values, turn the page and
rank the next 18 values in the same way. Please do each page
separately.
When ranking, take your time and think carefully. Feel free to
go back and change your order should you have second thoughts
about any of your answers. When you have completed the
ranking of both sets of values, the result should represent an
accurate picture of how you really feel about what’s important
in your life.
