Discussion Questions

Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link “ Doing Discussion Questions Right ,” the expanded grading rubric for the forum below, and any specific instructions for this topic.

Before the end of the unit, begin commenting on at least two of your classmates’ responses. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses in the Discussion Area.

Leadership

Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or as an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring in nature. Think of a time when you felt powerful and a time when you felt powerless when someone said or did something. How did you feel and or react is important as we learn the process of leadership and utilize the experiences to help us grow as leaders. Explain what the person said or did in each of the following situations.

Tasks:

In a minimum of 200 words, post your responses to the following to the Discussion Area:

· How did being powerful or powerless effect your emotional state, your morale, and your performance? Determine the implications for leaders of making people feel powerful or powerless.

· Do you agree or disagree with this statement “We become powerful when we give our own power away?” Give a few examples.

· How can leaders create an environment of trust and facilitate relationships among people in a work team? What can leaders do to show that they can be trustworthy? What can they do to demonstrate that they trust others?

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the  South University Online Library . As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 200 words as noted in the attached Adobe PDF. Submit your document to this Discussion Area by the due date assigned, be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

Respond to your classmates throughout the week. Justify your answers with examples, research, and reasoning. Follow-up posts need to be submitted by the end of the unit.
