LEADERS 481 DL Leadership
"The purpose of this course is to identify the fundamental leadership behaviors that enable people to excel in their careers, and to help students apply these behaviors to personal and professional success. The course builds from the basic premise that leadership is learned, and looks at the theory and practice of leadership at the individual and organizational level. The course will explore definitions of leadership, the importance of leadership, leadership styles, the role of vision and integrity, the importance of giving and receiving feedback, how to lead change and solve problems, effective teamwork, and communication strategies" Reflection I found the leadership course to be powerful. It had more of an impact on me than I expected. I didn’t put much thought into what this course would be teach us other than learning about leadership and what a leader was. It was more than that. Our projects for the class included writing a personal philosophy of leadership (PPL) and writing and posting 4 inspirational Knowledge Cards. I enjoyed doing both. In writing my PPL, I chose to reflect on those individuals in my life who had considerable influence in my life from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. I discovered that I exhibited some leadership traits early on in my life which later developed through work experiences and maturity. Learning Measurement Instruments (LMI) were other tools that we used throughout the course which revealed our leadership styles, characteristics and traits. We filled out several LMIs that focused on different areas of leadership and I discovered that I was consistent in one area across the board….sociability! What can I say, I love working with people. As a team leader in my current role, I’ve tried to adjust how I handle situations now and in working with people I try to be more sensitive to different personalities and realize that each person requires different leadership styles. I am still a work in progress. I hope you enjoy my knowledge cards and find them useful! Source: MMI Program
