I’m working on a management writing question and need a sample draft to help me study.
It is a leadership philosophy paper. I have attached a file explaining it and with all the questions to answer.
Answer the questions and in the discussion of the questions reflect upon some of these readings below. Does not need to reference every single article but should include multiple. These are all articles from HBR Top 10 on Leadership
“What Makes an Effective Executive” by Peter F. Drucker
“What Leaders Really Do,” by John P. Kotter
“The Work of Leadership,” by Ronald A. Heifetz & Donald L. Laurie
“Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?” by Robert Goffee & Gareth Jones
“What Makes a Leader?” by Daniel Goleman
“Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail” by John P. Kotter
“Discovering Your Authentic Leadership,” by William W. George, Peter Sims, Andrew N. McLean & Diana Mayer
Requirements:
Create Your Personal Leadership Philosophy
- An effective leadership philosophy is different than your personal purpose, values, and valued behaviors. While your leadership philosophy will be built upon the foundation your clear personal purpose and values statement creates, it is specific to your leadership efforts (in the workplace, in a community organization, wherever you are taking a leadership role).
- Let’s define an effective leadership philosophy as a values-aligned statement that helps you inspire consistent high performance and positive relationships with all of your team members, every day. It is NOT espousing leadership theories from recent business book (or even HBRs readings). Rather, it is developing your own personal, authentic, philosophy that derives from your core beliefs. I would hope that the materials you are exposed to in this course will aid in your journey.
- Therefore, reflect on the readings, videos, audio, personal insight activities, assignments and discussion we have been exposed to over the last six plus weeks (see your journals!).
- In a paper (no more than 10 pages, 12pt font, double spaced) respond to the following questions and any other you feel are important:
- As a leader, what are your highest values?
- What’s the contribution you want to make as a leader
- What makes you distinct as a leader?
- Drawing from High 5 Test as well as other sources, what are your strengths as a leader?
- Describe your plan for building trust, showing compassion, providing stability and creating hope?
- What are five words or phrases people would use to describe your leadership style?
- How would people of different levels describe their relationship with you?
- How are you building your influencing capital?
- How do you want to treat people?
- How will you build your team?
- How will you ensure your team’s engagement?
- How do you approach (and delegate) tasks?
- What are you doing to continually build your leadership capacity?
- What do you want your legacy to be?
