For example, does race, class, gender, economic status, geographic location or residence, or sexual orientation influence their narrative of the past. Where did they learn what they know about the past?

Personal leadership history report

Personal leadership history report

Personal Leadership History Report

The personal leadership history report will review your leadership experiences and describes your leadership style during those experiences. Discuss leadership experiences, what you learned from them, factors that influenced how you led, and how you look back on that leadership experience. This does not have to cover your entire leadership experience but should cover enough to build an accurate profile of your leadership experience. It is important to note that you do not need to be a supervisor or manager of people to lead. Leadership roles can take place in other ways, such as volunteering with a religious or civic organization. This is an essay on leadership, not management; sometimes the distinction is a fine line.

Be sure to read the requirements for that assignment before you complete the Personal Leadership History Report. Be careful not to focus on a leadership style in general, but discuss specific personal leadership experiences, both positive and negative, successes and failures. This paper should review your leadership experiences and describe your leadership style during those experiences. Be sure that your conclusion focuses on summing up your points on leadership discussed in the essay, not just a style. This report will be used to compare to what you have learned from the Leadership Exercise Report, also known as an After Action Report (AAR).

The body of the personal leadership history report shall be 4-6 pages (1,300 to 2,000 word), excluding other material such as the cover page, table of contents, abstract, graphics and tables, and references. The paper shall be presented in the 7th edition APA format, all margins should be 1”, 12-point font, and be in either Arial or New Times Roman font style. In the following descending order of preference, information sources must be either peer-reviewed articles, government reports, or other sources approved by your instructor. Internet information sources from other than authoritative sources are discouraged.

Writing Question

Part I – Identifications Terms

Drawing from the list of 15 and choose 5 to respond to on the. A complete response will include details of the term, the historical context, consideration of change over time (or cause and effect), and historical significance of the event/person/law.

If you omit any of these, then you lose points. Distinguish between what something was and why it was important. Was it important for a political reason, an economic reason, did it create a certain type of social climate? Just telling what someone did is not necessarily what makes the important—the consequences of the action are what make the action/event significant. General statements such as: “this was the first step toward equality” or “it changed African American history forever” will not count as a statement of historical significance.

.Part II
