Week 2 Skill Building Activity
The mission of College is not only to produce graduates with strong academic skills, but students who are better citizens as well. We do this in part by emphasizing the values and traits of authentic servant leadership in our courses. English courses are particularly suited to educate students about these values because the literature we read often concerns themes and ideas involving personal growth, empathy, humility, ethical thinking, and the value of community, among others. We read about characters who demonstrate servant leadership skills and encounter other examples in which incompetent, corrupt, or absent leadership leads to distinctly negative consequences. This week’s skill-building activity invites us to learn more about authentic servant leadership while also refining necessary skills using MLA quotations and citations.
_____________
Instructions: _____________
First, review the page in the Course Syllabus entitled “Authentic Servant Leadership.” Then, view the week 2 Powerpoint resource entitled “Authentic Servant Leadership,” paying particular attention to the specific servant leadership skills discussed on slides 3-9.
For this week’s activity, write at least one thorough, organized paragraph that discusses one of these leadership qualities in-depth and how its presence (or absence) informs our understanding of a character or affects events and outcomes in at least one of the stories you have read so far in weeks 1-2.
As you compose your response, make sure to include the following: _____
· at least one direct quotation from the week 2 resource somewhere within your response- anything from a word or phrase, up to three full lines (it can be anything from the slides, to include the provided quotes from literary/historical figures)
· a signal phrase that properly introduces your quotation
· one paraphrase of an event or action in your chosen literature
· proper in-text citations for both quotation and paraphrase
· works-cited entries for both the week 2 resource and the story or stories you chose to discuss, listed underneath your completed paragraph. (Works cited entries for literature should correspond to the specific version of the story linked in class; the works cited entry for the week 2 resource is provided within the resource on slide 10)
· Close your response by mentioning the specific leadership skill you believe is your strongest, as well as which one could bear the most improvement- and why.
Your completed response should be at least 300 words and fully address all the requirements mentioned above.

Authentic Servant Leadership
A Leadership and Ethics Across the Curriculum Institution
As an institution that embraces a culture of care and leadership, strives to help students identify, develop, and utilize the skills required to be effective Authentic Servant Leaders, as well as how to assess leaders in their communities and professions. Doing so will help students be good citizens, lifelong learners, and valued members of the workforce. In courses at the , students will be exposed to the concept of leadership, including Authentic Servant Leadership, and its associated skills and traits. These lessons will not be ancillary to students’ experiences but will be fully integrated into those experiences in the online classrooms. We have infused this with the content and skills already addressed in our courses.
Authentic Servant Leadership
() has embraced Authentic Servant Leadership as the model of leadership which it feels will most benefit its students. So, what is it? Namely, Authentic Servant Leadership is influencing and serving as engaged citizens grounded in civility and respect for others.
What are the skills and characteristics associated with Authentic Servant Leaders?
Authentic Servant Leaders possess the following characteristics and practice the following skills:
· Civility
· Ethical Thinking
· Humility
· Critical Thinking
· Empathy
· Effective Communication
· Emotional Intelligence
What are the actions of Authentic Servant Leaders? Because Authentic Servant leaders seek to serve and encourage others to serve, there are certain ways they conduct themselves. Authentic Servant Leaders honor others, inspire vision, choose ethics, empower others, privilege people, balance focus with flexibility, and serve with humility.
Authentic Servant Leaders seek to empower those they lead in a way that edifies, encourages, and promotes growth. They want to leave a positive footprint in their communities and circles of influence. They care about their communities and seek ways to serve in ways that are beneficial to current and future generations. Authentic Servant Leaders exhibit self-awareness and self-discipline, frequently engage in self-reflection and assessment to seek ways to improve and be of greater service to others, and demonstrate a desire to serve something greater than him/herself. They also seek to build relationships based on trust and mutual respect.
How will these skills and traits be reinforced?
In courses at the GOLC, students will see assessments that not only test their understanding of the content being taught, but they will also see that content infused with leadership lessons. For example, as students discuss topics in the Civil Discourse Forums (Discussion Forums) instruction and leadership will be provided on how to conduct those discussions with civility and decorum. Civility is the ability to remain civil, respectful, and demonstrate decorum even when confronted with difficult and tense situations. As Authentic Servant Leaders and learned professionals have to confront uncomfortable situations in a way that allows them to maintain the dignity of their position. Civility means practicing courtesy, politeness, mutual respect, fairness, good manners, and a willingness to listen to the perspectives of others-whether the perspectives are different or the same. Our Civil Discourse Forums will provide opportunities to practice these things even in the face of controversial topics.
Other assessments, such as Critical Thinking Exercises found in many courses, will reinforce the skill of critical thinking, a vital skill all leaders need. In addition, as Authentic Servant Leaders need to be able to communicate effectively and clearly, assessments in our courses focus on writing, and in some cases, speaking clearly, correctly, and effectively. Leaders are also supposed to make data-driven decisions, so assessments which require students to research, document, substantiate and prove will be quite effective in this pursuit.
In addition, Authentic Servant Leaders must seek to empower ALL others over which they have charge or are part of their spheres of influence. As such, they must think ethically and seek to make ethical decisions. Many courses have been embedded with content-related ethical scenarios where students must analyze whether actions, behaviors, and decisions have been enacted and made ethically and what impact those actions, behaviors, and decisions will have on others.
These are a few examples of how courses in the will help students develop into Authentic Servant Leaders, as well as be able to effectively assess those who seek to practice it. Leaders also need good followers who can recognize good leadership. These courses are designed to help contribute to that goal.

Authentic Servant Leadership
Authentic Servant Leadership Defined
We seek to instill and develop in our students a specific leadership style known as authentic servant leadership, which we define as “serving and influencing as an engaged citizen grounded in civility and respect for others.”
The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Therefore, whether referring to leadership in families, communities, businesses, schools, government, or simply practicing personal leadership, we believe that our shared future will be better with more authentic servant leaders who exhibit the associated characteristics and skills detailed on the following slides.

Characteristics and Skills of Authentic Servant Leaders
Authentic Servant Leadership Skills:
Humility
Civility
Emotional intelligence
Empathy
Critical thinking
Ethical thinking
Effective Communication
An Authentic Servant Leader…
desires to serve something greater than him/herself
demonstrates ethical and moral integrity
shows empathy towards others
exhibits self-awareness and self-discipline
demonstrates civility in civil discourse
builds relationships on trust and mutual respect
empowers others to grow, succeed, and develop personal courage
creates value for the organization and gives back to the community
3
Humility
Simply put, humility is the quality of being humble. Exercising humility frees us from arrogance; we admit when we don’t know something and acknowledge that we can always improve. This allows us to be better aware of our weaknesses and faults. Authentic servant leaders display genuine gratitude and a lack of pride.
Consider some of the fictional characters you may have read about over the years. Can you think of any who provide positive examples of humility? Alternately, can you think of any characters who provide poor examples of humility? How did their lack of humility affect them or the people around them? Finally, what might you do to more consistently show humility in your own life?

Civility
One of the most important traits of an authentic servant leader is civility- the ability to remain respectful and conduct oneself with decorum even in difficult circumstances. Authentic servant leaders confront uncomfortable situations in a way that maintains the dignity of both their position as well as the people around them. Civility means practicing courtesy, politeness, mutual respect, fairness, good manners, and a willingness to peacefully engage with the perspectives of others- even and especially when one disagrees with them. We don’t always have to agree, but as leaders, we must listen- and that starts by giving others the opportunity to be heard.
Discussion forums and live sessions are great ways for English students to practice civility in online courses. When discussing ideas and opinions with classmates or the professor, students should never belittle opposing views or disrespect the people who said them. It can be more constructive and beneficial to engage ideas or opinions with which you disagree- opposing views aren’t always best left ignored- but when doing so, remain polite and respectful.

Emotional Intelligence and Empathy
Emotional intelligence is defined as one’s ability to identify, understand, and manage one’s emotions. The ability to regulate emotions and avoid impulsive decisions is a critical component of leadership.
More specifically, a key element of emotional intelligence is empathy: the ability to be aware of and sensitive to the needs of others. While we can’t always control how others feel or behave, we are better able to understand others when we imagine ourselves in their position. The ability to validate others’ emotions and experience is a vital aspect of authentic servant leadership.
Display empathy in your interactions with faculty, staff, and students, whether in email, over the phone, or during live sessions. Remember, empathy should not be something we turn on or off depending on the situation, or only when we are clearly aware that empathy is warranted; it should be the default approach when interacting with others in personal and professional situations.
6
Critical Thinking
Critical thinking allows leaders to make informed decisions and sound judgments based on available and reliable information. It involves the ability to question, analyze, interpret, and evaluate the things one reads, hears, says, and writes. It is crucial that authentic servant leaders make clear, rational decisions based on evidence, and that they are able to carefully question their own thought process for things like bias or a lack of information. If we only approach ideas or challenges in terms of our existing assumptions, beliefs, and conclusions, we do not effectively learn or grow as leaders.
English courses are ideal for building critical thinking skills because they involve writing arguments, locating reliable sources, and drawing inferences and conclusions from ambiguous texts. As you read assigned literature during the quarter, ask yourself not just what certain characters are doing, but why and how they do these things– and how your own experiences may inform why you think about these characters or themes the way you do.
7
Ethical Thinking
Ethical thinking is a type of critical thinking that uses ethical principles to make informed decisions. Ethics guides us to tell the truth, keep our promises, and act with honor. Educator and author Peter Drucker, whose work was highly influential in modern management, once wrote, “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right thing.” Similarly, one way we might better understand these concepts is that critical thinking leads us to think about things the right way, while ethical thinking compels us to do the right things.
One ideal way to practice ethics as a student is to avoid plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty in your coursework, and to always observe Our Honor Code: “I shall not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Review the “Ethics” section in the Course Syllabus for more information.
8
Effective Communication
Effective communication is at the center of successful servant leadership. Leaders must be aware of what they want to achieve and how they are communicating their goals and ideas to others. Communication is most effective when leaders understand the people with whom they are talking, to whom they are listening, and for whom they are speaking– but this type of communication cannot happen unless they are authentically practicing the other servant leadership skills mentioned in the previous slides.
As you know, a key goal in English courses is to help students communicate more effectively. However, effective communication isn’t just about grammar/ mechanics, MLA format, or the ability to analyze texts– it’s also about sharing your ideas and opinions clearly and respectfully, and writing with a specific audience in mind.
