Details:
In earlier modules you explored the influence of self-awareness on your
leadership style and established that a clear understanding of your
abilities, motivation, and goals provides a firm foundation for leading
others. Leadership studies demonstrate that the most effective leaders
know how to draw upon self-leadership skills to in turn motivate and
lead others to expand their strengths to ultimately better serve the goals
of an organization. For this assignment you will look at a leadership
example from contemporary media and evaluate how well the particular
leader exemplifies the qualities of effective and ethical leadership. Then,
you will compose your own Leadership Philosophy statement to
articulate the qualities that will make you an effective leader of people
and organizations.
Part 1:
For Part 1, select a relevant and topical leadership issue from the
contemporary news media that revolves around ethics and ethical
decision making. Topics must be approved by your instructor. Once
approved, research the situation and gather data in order to evaluate the
dynamics of the situation. Write an evaluation (500-750 words) of the
situation that addresses the following:
1. The power bases used by the leader.
2. The influence tactics used by the leader.
3. The leadership style of the leader.
4. The outcome (or potential outcome) of the situation.

2. Conclude by justifying whether or not you think this leader is effective
and if they acted ethically.
Next, imagine yourself as a practitioner of servant leadership. You have
been appointed into the leadership role in this same circumstance.
Explain how the situation would be different. Address the four criteria
listed above in your discussion.
Part 2:
For Part 2, develop a Leadership Philosophy statement as an appendix to
your evaluation in Part 1. Begin by reviewing your self-assessments
results from Module 2 and reflecting on what you have learned about
effective leadership in the course. Keep in mind that one’s Leadership
Philosophy is a unique statement that encapsulates your own view of
leadership so the final product may vary; however, your statement
should incorporate the following:
1. Personal values and beliefs that influence your leadership style.
2. Past experiences and/or people that have influenced the
development of those values.
3. Expectations of self and others.
4. Leadership style and influence tactics.
Your goal is to create a distinctive statement (250-500 words) that
incorporates the above elements. The end product should clearly
articulate how you view yourself as a leader and how others would view
you as a leader. It should also make clear how you can contribute to the
success of other people and an organization as a whole.

Leading teams of diverse individuals is a significant challenge.
Negotiating individual strengths, weaknesses, and personalities can be
difficult. Nonetheless, as a leader it is your responsibility to effectively
lead teams through establishing expectations designed to motivate
individuals, fostering critical decision-making skills, and improving
communication and collaboration among teammates. For the
assignments in modules 4 and 5, as part of the management team at a
successful, regional airline, West Coast Transit, you have been directed
to form a team for a high-stakes, high-pressure project. Together, the
management team will come to a consensus and make a
recommendation to the director. Your objective is to individually select
a team of six people from the given teammate profiles. Begin by reading
“West Coast Transit Company Profile” and “West Coast Transit Team
Member Profiles,” which are attached in the Topic Materials. Based on
your understanding of the company, the project, and the people involved
propose your team selection. Your proposal should be accompanied by a
1,000-1,250 explanation that addresses the following:
Why did you select the six team members you did?
Why did you decide against the others? Considering the diverse factors
that may influence the behavior of your team members, what specific
strategies will you use to motivate this particular team of individuals?
Why do you think they will work? What motivational strategies do you
think would be ineffective for this team? Why? What particular
challenges or conflicts can you anticipate this team facing? What

4. strategies might you apply to manage this team’s potential conflicts?
(You will learn more about conflict management in Module 5. It is
acceptable to make relevant speculations based on what you know about
the team members and conflict management at this point. You will have
the opportunity to solidify your conflict management strategies when
you join the CLC assignment in Module 5.)
Finally, summarize your vision for the success of this team. Based on
what you have identified as the team’s particular strengths and
weaknesses, which specific leadership strategies might you apply to
ensure it is ultimately successful? Why?
