Instruction:
Throughout this course, students learn about various self-leadership elements. To promote a fuller understanding of self-leadership and its key dimensions, for this assignment, the student will develop a customized, integrative self-leadership framework by synthesizing an array of relevant disciplines, theories, and strategies. This comprehensive self-leadership model is intended to serve the student in their personal and professional lives; its design should capture the student’s unique characteristics and challenges, and be informed by: (1) an understanding of “Self” through the application of self-awareness, in part drawing from ongoing Self-Reflection Journal assignment, (2) desired experiences and goals, and (3) elements and strategies that enable the student to guide their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions toward achieving their personal and professional goals. The student can utilize the sample self-leadership models presented in this class as a baseline to inform their personalized framework, but additional research is required to explore helpful concepts from psychology, neuroscience, and/or organizational behavior (i.e., potential building blocks of the framework) beyond the course materials.
Technical requirement:
The student should provide a visual representation of their self-leadership framework, describe and justify its individual building blocks with references to course concepts and research findings, and explain how each of the key dimensions influences and complements the others in forming a comprehensive framework (a systematic approach to self-leadership in its totality). The analysis should capture the impact of each component of the self-leadership model on the student’s behaviors and thoughts, and ultimately on their personal and team effectiveness. This includes explaining how the framework can help the student to constantly develop their inner game (mindset) and the outer game (action, influence, and impact) with emphasis on leading and guiding others. As part of the depiction of the model, the student should describe at least two of the building blocks through the lens of classical philosophies and schools of thought of their choice and interest (e.g., explaining self-control through Zen Buddhism).
In addition, the student should demonstrate the potential applications of their self-leadership framework. This can be accomplished by selecting a work or organizational challenge from the student’s past experiences, describing and diagnosing the situation using concepts, outlining the factors that contributed to the situation, and discussing how the self-leadership components could have helped the student and/or others deal with the situation more effectively. Furthermore, the student should provide a brief description of their plan to consistently assess and evolve their self-leadership model to ensure its effectiveness and fitness.
