Describe and discuss a highly effective leader/manager you have met. This person could come from any type of organization. The leader you describe could be a coach, peer, or a supervisor or executive you have worked for.
Include consideration of each of the three approaches to leadership that were covered in modules 12 and 13. Identify and label 1) traits, and 2) behaviors this leader had used or chose to inspire you. Also, address 3) situational factors. Use appropriate course concepts in your response:
Discuss at least:
1) one leadership trait your leader demonstrated and give an example to support your view.
2) one leadership behavior illustrated by your leader and give an example to support your view; and
3) type of leadership choice that your leader made or should have made that was determined by the leadership situation. For this question, you can use traditional (such as Fiedlers LPC Theory of Leadership and path-goal leadershi
p), and/or contemporary (such as LMX theory and Hersey and Blanchards theory of leadership) situational leadership theories and models.
Note: To complete this assignment successfully and receive three (3) points, you must use concepts and terms from topics covered in both leadership modules: Traditional Leadership Approaches and Contemporary Views of Leadership in Organizations. Be sure to label the approaches to leadership you discuss and provide concrete examples to support your answers.
