Objective: Write a paper analyzing a leader known for their ethical conduct. Discuss the principles they follow, their impact on the organization, and the outcomes of their ethical leadership practices.
In analyzing your experience, focus on how you were supervised or led, not how you supervised or led others. It does not matter whether you had a positive or negative job experience and you may discuss both successful and unsuccessful aspects of the leadership to which you were subjected. Quality papers will provide 1) a synthesis of the various leadership concepts studied in the course into a single comprehensive analysis; and 2) what impact the leadership you experienced had on your performance in that job.
Some advice:
- Remember this exercise will be graded. It is easy to get carried away telling your story and forget that you are writing about leadership concepts and their relationship to your own personal experience with leadership in your identified job.
- Make certain you explore your personal experience in the job. Do not write in some generic manner about other peoples experience in similar positions.
- You may find it useful to develop a comparative angle in the paper, such as comparing how your experience varied between two different tasks, or comparing your job before and after a change in your supervisor or the company structure.
- Do not simply drop in a few theories or concepts without explaining how they relate to your job experience.
- Do not focus only on your favorite issue or concept. Demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the course material.
- Cite your references and write using the APA (latest edition)form.
The paper should be typed (double-spaced) in 12 point font and 5 to 7 of content pages in length. You must be thoughtful in selecting the issues and concepts around which you build your paper, while at the same time concise in your writing to meet the requirements of the assignment. Begin working on this early so you can avoid the end-of-semester crunch.
Requirements: 2000
