Description

BUS552: LEADERSHIP – M1.9 Leaders on Leadership

Purpose

This segment provides an opportunity for you to hear from leaders on topics covered in this module; this will provide you with a deeper understanding of the leadership skills you are learning and allow you to consider how these principles are applied in real-world organizations. 

 

Review

Watch the following TEDTalk from Lorna Davis, where she discusses the difference between heroes and leaders and how to create a collaborative leadership environment.

 

Your Task

Consider the leadership perspective you just watched and provide your thoughts on this perspective by creating a 1- to 3-minute video. Think about the following questions when responding:

• Do you agree with the leadership perspective provided? Why or why not?
• Have you experienced a similar situation? Elaborate on your story.
• Did this help you understand this week’s concepts?

Utilize the resources available to you and feel free to use screen sharing to create an engaging video response.

You will need to include a transcript or closed captions with your video in order to make it accessible for people with hearing disabilities. The easiest way to do this is to write out a script in advance and attach this to your post as a transcript.

 

Initial Discussion Post 

Your initial post should be a video post and contain at least 250 words. Your initial response is due by Sunday at 11:59 PM ET.

Response to Classmates

While you are not required to respond to your classmates, it is strongly encouraged as it provides you with opportunities to share your thoughts and expand your understanding of these concepts. Any responses should be respectful and promote further conversation or insights on the topic. Remember to provide a transcript of your responses.
