Creating a Personal Model of Leadership
Use the information below for assistance in creating your personal model of leadership.
What is a personal model of leadership?
Leadership is an important dimension of personal growth and development. Developing
leadership qualities is a complex process that involves much more than simply selecting an
appealing leadership model or participating in leadership training. Creating a satisfying personal
model of leadership, which reflects one’s values and beliefs and impacts how one affects
organizations, communities, and society, is a lifelong process.
What approach should I take to complete my personal leadership model?
Building a personal leadership model can be approached from both a systematic and holistic
perspective. It also requires creativity, passion, and a framework that leaders can use as they
explore various models of leadership over their lifetimes. The process of creating a personal
model involves continuously exploring and analyzing various leadership models. You will find
certain elements of these models appealing and might choose to integrate them into your own
model. Others you will not want to include. It is important to weigh the elements against your
own system of values and beliefs and select the ones that will most enrich your own model and
the lives of those whom you lead.
What do I use to develop my personal model of leadership?
As you explore various leadership models, utilize the table provided below to breakdown, select,
and record their appealing elements. You will complete the table as you move through the
process of developing your leadership model throughout the course. This table will serve as a
starting point or outline as you think through your personal model of leadership and write your
paper.
How do I develop my personal model of leadership?
Creating a leadership model involves the following:
1. Select the basic values that will provide the foundation and identify the leadership
behaviors that will result from those values. As you select values for your own model,
link each one you choose to one of these following four perspectives:
a. Values that guide you from an individual or “I” perspective.
b. Values that guide you from an interpersonal perspective.
c. Values that guide you from an organizational perspective.
d. Values that guide you from a societal perspective.
2. Identify a clear approach for creating a sense of meaning and purpose, including
contributing to society. You will consider why the values you selected are meaningful
and how you can utilize them to contribute to the greater good. Also, identify the impact
of one’s contributions to self, others, organizations, and society. You will consider how

the behaviors that result from your foundation of values impact the world around you in a
positive and meaningful way.
Is there an example that I may follow to craft my leadership model?
Below are definitions and an example you can follow as you use the provided table to think
through and develop your own personal model of leadership.
Definitions
Values and beliefs: A value or belief describes something that is important to you. It fits into the
sentence: “I value….” Examples include integrity, respect, trust, high performance, making an
impact, and a clean environment.
Behaviors and action: A behavior describes the visible actions that demonstrate (or are based
on) a value. For example, if you believe in “trust” as a value, then the behavior may be, “I
always keep private information shared with me in confidence to myself.”
Clear approach for creating meaning and purpose: This is the sense of meaning or purpose
that you focus on based on your values. So, if you value protecting the environment, you might
outline your approach for contributing to an organization that protects wildlife.
Impact: Impact is attaining positive results or improvements in your area of focus. So, if you are
working in a wildlife organization, it could be saving the lives of wildlife or protecting a
particular ecosystem.

Rokeach Values Survey
Developed by Milton Rokeach in 1973, the purpose of the Rokeach Values Survey is to classify
human values and help individuals better understand what is important to them. Values
themselves are not seen, instead one can see the behaviors associated with what people value.
There are two types of values in this survey:
•
Terminal Values: Terminal values represent desired end states. Something a person
would like to achieve in their own lifetime. Examples would be true friendship, mature
love, national security, world peace, salvation, a comfortable life. Terminal values are
achievable items.
•
Instrumental Values: Instrumental values represent “modes of behavior.” In other
words, they are means of achieving your terminal values. (Think of these values as
instruments by which you accomplish your terminal values). Examples include ambition,
love, self-control, politeness, honesty, independence. The focus of instrumental values is
on acting in a manner to achieve the value.
Complete a Rokeach Values Survey for yourself by ranking the Rokeach Values listed in the
table below in order of importance. Focus on only one set of values at a time.
•
Ranking Terminal Values: Begin by focusing only on the list of terminal values. Select
the value that is most important to you. As you go through the list of terminal values,
rank each value from most to least importance for you with 1 being most important and
18 being least important to you. Work through the list of terminal values until all terminal
values are assigned a ranking.
•
Ranking Instrumental Values: When you have finished ranking your terminal values,
proceed to the list of instrumental values, and rank each in the same way as your terminal
values with a ranking of 1 for the most important instrumental value, and 18 for the least
important instrumental value.
Once you have completed ranking all 18 terminal values and all 18 instrumental values, make
sure to make note of both your top values in each category. You will submit a copy of the
completed survey to the assignment dropbox.

Terminal Values
The terminal values I consider more important to me, which I have rated as number 1-10, include
Family Security, Freedom, Self-Respect, Happiness, Comfortable Life, Pleasure, Exciting Life, Social
Recognition, Mature Love, and A Sense of Accomplishment. I consider these values important since they
generally improve my quality of life and those of the people I love and shield us from various dangers.
For example, when the world is at peace, we are all safe from attacks and issues such as inflation that
come when nations are at war like we have seen through the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Additionally,
happiness, wisdom, a comfortable life, pleasure, and an exciting life are important to me since they mean
I am serving my purpose in life. I believe that our main purpose in life is to enjoy our short life since
tomorrow is never guaranteed.
On the other hand, the terminal values that I think are not important include Salvation (Eternal
Life), True Friendship, and A World of Beauty. Although I believe God exists, I have never been excited
or interested in the idea of eternal life. I believe we should live our life to the fullest on earth so that when
we die, we will have made the best out of our short life. I also do not care about true friendship since I
think that everyone we meet is a stranger in one way or another, and we should cooperate for the time we
are together to achieve what we want. Lastly, I do not value the world of beauty since I have no interest in
nature and the arts. I think nature and art are good, but I do not see anything exciting about them since I
consider them a normal part of life.

Instrumental Values
The instrumental values that I consider important and have rated them 1 include Ambitiousness,
Broadmindedness, Capability, Cleanliness, Courageousness, Honesty, independence, and responsibility. I
believe these values are important since they generally improve our quality of life. For example, being
ambitious helps us dream of big and better things in life and pursue them relentlessly since we know we
can achieve them. On the other hand, broadmindedness helps us view and approach people and things
from different perspectives, knowing we cannot always be right. I also think courage is an essential value
since it helps us face issues, express ourselves, and even try things we are not sure we will succeed.
Honestly is another important value to me because it makes someone reliable. Overall, I feel all the
instrumental values are important since they help improve our quality of life.
