Journal Homework
Overview
In this module, you learned that you can't be a leader without followers. Leadership, then, is a very personal process, and yet it is anything but a solitary process. Leading is ultimately about people. In this course, the journal will be used for reflection. This is a private conversation between you and your instructor, and you are encouraged to deeply explore the concepts presented.
Prompt
You have watched Simon Sinek's "Find Your Why" video clip. In this video, Sinek says, a true leader is someone for whom the others raise their hands and say, "I will follow you."
Completing this homework will give you some insight into how you can best motivate others to follow your vision as a leader.
Now, answer these questions from your perspective as a leader, considering the recommendations you have provided in the GROW model:
1) Personal Reflection: Why would others follow you as their leader? Explain.
2) Impact: How would you motivate them to pursue the vision you outline, not because you order them to do so, but because they want to do so enthusiastically on their own?
3) Feedback: Ask someone you trust and who can be objective, "What is my greatest asset as a leader?" In your journal, record the response and whether you agree or disagree and why.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
(1) The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
(2) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
(3) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
