2.2 Discussion. From the Inside Out

Getting Started

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone, but you cannot remember the person’s name? Have you ever been in a conversation with someone, and you soon realize they do not remember your name? Perhaps at some point, one of you asked, “ Who are you?”

Asking  who you are is a relevant question for leadership. Knowing who you are as a leader (your strengths and weakness, for example) can be important for the effective practice of leadership.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

· Integrate intrapersonal development into effective leadership development and practice.

One of the key concepts of EI is that the ability to be sensitive to others’ needs and to manage relationships well begins with good self-awareness and the ability to regulate our cognitive and emotional processes. In other words, knowing and managing yourself are foundational to leadership. Knowing and managing self contains many potential areas for review, such as personality, experiences, roles, motivations, values, and worldview.

Instructions

1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.

2. Read Chapters 3 and 4 in the course text,  Leadership in Christian Perspective.

3. Review the information in the Getting Started and Background Information sections.

4. Review some of the material that you studied in LDR 220 – Developing the Self as Leader and LDR 260 – Critical Thinking for Leaders.

5. Look ahead to  Assignment 2.3  (new tab) in this workshop to understand the parts of your Capstone Project that you will submit for this workshop.

6. Consider the following prompts:

a. What is the most challenging thing for you when it comes to thinking about worldview?

b. What is the most important insight you have had about worldview?

c. How is faith a part of your worldview? Your thinking about leadership? Service?

d. What was the most important “topic” you studied in your program about “you” as a person or as a leader (e.g., self-esteem, personal brand, critical thinking, development or...?) Why was it the most important for you?

e. How has your study of that most important topic affected how you lead?

7. Compose a 250 to 300-word initial post. You do not need to answer each of the prompts. Rather, use them to stimulate your thinking.  An important part of this discussion is how something has affected you personally, deeply, and then professionally (e.g., from the inside out). Complete reading, research, and review to make your post that might also help you start to develop your Assignment 2.3.
