After reading Kouzes & Posner and Bolman & Deal discuss the readings with your group.

1) What leadership styles(s) do you embrace (structural, human resource, political, symbolic)? 2) Which are difficult or less prevalent in your leadership and why? 3) Are these difficult or less prevalent leaderships essential for your future chosen profession or current work situation why or why not (discuss at least one from the four types)? 4) How does your preferred leadership relate (or not) to your personality and temperament types? Do they continue to be in line?

Offer some thoughts, comments or recommendations to at least  one person in your discussion group about question #3 by reflecting on the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership (Model the Way, Inspire a Share Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Other to Act, and Encourage the Heart) from Kouzes & Posner).
