Fundamentals of Leadership
Leader Action Plan
May 4, 2015
Throughout this semester, I have definitely made many changes that have helped me grow as a person and a better leader. I was always very shy and unable to really speak up for myself. I wanted to please the world and sadly this course made me realize that there are certain things that we can’t take for granted nor can we just be disrespected. I came about this change once I moved in to my dorm. Living with new people that had no idea about me, made things complicated because they took me being nice for granted. I was consistently being pushed over or ignored by my roommates.
I had taken a similar course the semester before that required me to look at myself within and try to have a more positive outcome. Within this course I have grown in many ways, I have learned to a lot about myself and how I affect the people around me. I have a lot of plans for the upcoming semester, and goals that I wish to make this year. I believe that with the 7 C’s and the tools I learned from this course will help me keep improving on myself and, the outcome I give off to others. This course opened my eyes to a very important value of leadership, this specific value named Consciousness of Self meaning being aware of ones beliefs morals and emotions. It helped me because it showed me how to reflect on myself, and think back about an experience in a way that would help me learn from it instead of greave it. Mindfulness,
I, Siddharth Ramputty, 31 years old medical practitioner, hail from Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. I realised after my teen years , I could not be restricted to this small paradise (Imagine the fictional character Baggins from the Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien), so I left with all hopes and expectations to the "Incredible India" for my medical studies and Internship training and then later serve my country as a medical practitioner , had indeed changed my outlook and perspectives towards life. During those nostalgic transformative years, my friends and I , We with a lot of optimism , enthusiasm and sacrifices , overcame a lot
Addressing organizational needs, problems and strengths begins with leadership. Ensuring needs, problems and strengths are appropriately measured, analyzed and, where appropriate diverted, begins with great leaders. Great leadership is about “ferocious resolve, an almost stoic determination to do whatever needs to be done to make the company great.” (Collins, 2001). Success for the leadership capstone project can be defined many ways; implementing a solution to resolve the problem as well as acknowledging the limitations of the study and identifying areas of focus for future research. Success for this leadership project is due in part to the results and findings of the study; however, the fundamental key to its success centers around leadership.
My personal leadership course made me realize that I have all the characteristics to become a great leader, it was just the fact of actually doing. Since then in my work I
A plan for leadership, or, an analysis of leadership, were the two options available for the final portfolio project of class ORG 561, Examination of Modern Leadership. I selected option number 2, a plan for leadership, in which a new organizational leadership plan will be presented and developed in an effort to provide guidance to upper management to address a number of organizational concerns. The portfolio will entail an evaluation of an overflowing pediatric emergency department facing the challenges of meeting capacity needs as well as the needs of staff members. Specific issues to be addressed include high staff turnover, ineffective continuing education opportunities, poor communication channels between staff and
I agree with you as a leader it is important to recognize where we are and where we want to go. The knowledge that I have acquired from this course has helped to guide me in the right direction. I feel confident leading others and hope to inspire them. However, I understand that I need to be able to reflect on my current leadership style and make the necessary changes. One change that I plan to implement as I stated on my journal is servant leadership which encourages “leaders be attentive to the concerns of their followers and nurture them” (Northouse, 2013, p. 219). Also, I plan to implement situational leadership. I understand that I should base my conduct on the demands of a particular situation. I learned that if I aspire
During the Leadership Fundamentals course of the Master of Science in Leadership, I learned the importance of how to think not what to think. I was able to take this lesson learned one step further during the Emotional Intelligence course by learning the importance and methods of considering how others think and feel in regards to my behavior, actions, or communication. In this paper, I will summarize the key principles that I learned during the Leading Change course and describe how the course contributed to my building a holistic understanding of leadership by identifying concepts that improved my knowledge the most. Finally, I will describe strengths, areas of improvement, and a targeted improvement plan that will assist me in achieving excellence in leadership.
In this leadership development plan, I will describe how the three leadership areas I selected in Module One (Adaptation to critique and transformation, presentation and communication, and the influence of others and providing feedback) will be improved by practicing Challenge the Process and Enable Others to Act. In addition, this paper will also analyze how the sharing knowledge and information will improve the leadership areas I have selected in Module One (listed above). The improvement of these leadership areas with these practices of exemplary leadership is essential to any leader, and all three must be improved together to continue the process of change.
As I started this class, I did not expect out of it what I got. College classes are usually about facts and information, but that was not this course. This course was about exploring your inner thoughts and opinions, how you come to those points, and how they affect others. These components are what establish effective leadership and communication skills. One of the key points I grasped from this course is to always be mindful of others. To be able to be mindful of others, it is important to first, be mindful of yourself.
I was luckily enough to have a fairly easy time getting through college. Applied and accepted to one school, half price tuition, scholarships, and full pell grants, never received lower than a B, graduated early and had a job lined up before graduation. By no means was anything handed to me, but I knew I need to get out of school as quick as possible and get into the real world. I only dealt with homesickness my first semester. Looking back on my undergrad years, I did not deal with the typical struggles my students do. Throughout my two and half years in higher education, my eyes have been opened up tremendously, but this class opened my eyes to different issues. Issues that I have not faced yet. I am positive I will face several of these problems one day, either with my students or myself. I am happy to think back to previous discussions to help my students move through the hard
As a student this course forced to become a better student and manage my time wisely. The course was demanding and rigorous while also making me more observant of what is happening in education globally. This aspect of the course has help me professionally. Therefor the answer to both sections of this question is similar.
While this class might not have been what I expected, I was able to complete the objectives of this course which included teaching fundamentals of being a college student and learning about myself through my uniqueness and my value and how I can apply that to be a successful student. According to the syllabus, “This class requires students to remain to true to themselves engaging in dialogue and debate about matters that are contemporary and important.” (Crowell 1) I was able to learn about different resources and techniques that will help me while I am a student at Auburn University and in my future career such as learning how to write a proper email, managing my time, interacting with those around me and how to think about things a step further.
The following document will outline my personal leadership plan which will include my personal coaching and leadership philosophy including, mission statement, vision statement, core values, and the style of coaching that I would like to be representative of me as a coach and as a positive role model to my players. I believe that this philosophy will outline the standards that I expect from my players, and it will become the fabric and a motivational tool which all of their future decisions will be based upon. This philosophy will be a foundation that the young men coached within this program can use to apply to all parts of their adult life. My leadership plan is a reflection of me and my core beliefs and will
This course has taught me much more than just leadership. I've learned a bit more about my personallity, specifically how to embrace ceratin traits and how to work on others. This course also built a foundation to help be a more successful student at CSU-Global. When it comes to leadership, this course opened up my eyes on what it takes to be an effective leader. I'm now more motivated than ever to pursue my dream of becoming a leader within my company.
* The course taught me how to be an effective leader. I shall strive to include “intellectual stimulation” and “inspirational motivation” within my leadership portfolio.
Heading into this course, I wasn’t exactly sure what it was about. Aside from reading the description on the KU website, I had no idea what to expect. I thought it would be centered around what would make a good leader, and the things I should do to achieve this. After the first couple weeks, I finally grasped the purpose of this class, and slowly started to work what I was learning into my day to day life. Through this class I have been able to identify what adaptive leadership is and how to apply it to my day to day task as well as how to work within the disequilibrium. I was also given the opportunity to reflect on what I was learning, through journals and amongst my peers through discussion boards, and how I was using my knowledge to identify different challenges I was facing in my life.
