Create a Job Description for a position that you hope to be able to attain after completion of your degree (HR Management). At a minimum, the job description should include the sections of
Question 1 – Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week (chapter -3 ) and write what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter. Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
Question 2 How does the application of a phased approach to project management vary in different industries? Do you think that the phases work the same in construction as they do in event management or software development?
Question 1 Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week (chapter – 5,6) and write what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter. Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
Identify a project that you are planning to pursue either at home or at work. List all of the components, decision points, and chance events. What is the measure of success for the project? Assuming that there is more than one measure, how can you reconcile them?
What experiences have you had with group decision making? What difficulties do you see arising when trying to perform a multiple-criteria analysis with many interested parties involved? How might these difficulties be overcome, or at least mitigated?
Based on everything that you have so far learned and read in this module, it is time to try to put into words your own personal definition of what a leader is…there is no right or wrong definition- it is more a creative statement of what you see as the central theme of leadership and the person doing the leading- you!
Write a 2-3 sentence definition of leadership that has the most meaning to you.This may take some time and effort to create–even though it is only 1, 2 or 3 sentences in length, please use professional terms, and leave out words like: “I think..” “I believe…” “To me a leader is…”etc. (do not write in the first person).
Here is an example from a past student of the type and quality of thought that I am looking for:
“Leadership is being able to inspire, influence and guide others in a specific direction in order to achieve a particular goal. A leader acts as a facilitator to promote new ideas, leads by example, and is able to motivate and support others in their journey.”
Requirements: 3 sentences
Leadership is generally accepted to be defined as the ability to move or influence others toward achieving individual or group goals. But how do we get to be a leader, and who would we categorize as an example of a leader? These are questions that have been attempted to be answered through the development of various leadership theories– how to explain and how to understand the process of becoming or being a leader.
As an introduction to leadership we will explore the more common theories that have been developed in an attempt to more fully understand this human behavior. What is a leader? Industrial/Organizational psychologists do not seem to be able to agree on a definition. One way to understand leadership, however, is through the differences between a leader and an authority. Authorities are those who hold formal positions that give them the power to direct the behavior of their subordinates. Managers, supervisors, and bosses are authorities. They may or may not also be leaders, depending on whether they rely solely on their official positions when applying influence on others. A true leader does not use force and coercion to direct his or her followers toward a common goal.
The Final Assessment for this competency is to create a personal philosophy based on leadership research and assessments. You must include mentoring and coaching skills, as well as emotional intelligence. You will submit a paper in which you describe your own personal philosophy statement for the kind of leader you want to become. In this assignment, you will try to answer the question, how do you see yourself as a leader?
. Your Final Assessment submission will be checked for academic integrity, and violations may impact your standing within the program. Please refer to your Academic Catalog, Student Handbook, and/or contact your tutorial faculty regarding the standards of academic integrity.
