Description
In your initial post, tell us a little bit about yourself—where you are from, your interests, and anything else you wish to share.
Next, share your experience(s) of working with a leader. Consider the following:
Was this person an inspiring leader or more of a command-and-control style leader?
What lessons did you learn from that experience?
What are the positive skills the leader demonstrated that you may incorporate into a leadership training program?
How would you describe, in a few short sentences, the ideal leader to work for in today’s VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment? Please provide a brief rationale for your response.
While answering the second question, you may keep in mind the leadership toolkit that you will develop in Milestone One.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Your responses should show that you have given thought to what the original post said. They should also push the conversation forward, offering insights or (if necessary) asking clarifying questions. While responding, please consider the following questions:
Is leadership style a binary choice, i.e., one or the other? Or do all leaders have a mixture of both styles to some degree?
Think about the worst leaders you have observed or worked for. What are the greatest lessons you’ve learned from their poor leadership traits?
