PROJEC T DESC RI PT I ON

Project Introduction:

In this project you will research, reflect, and report on what it’s like to be led, as well as what it’s like to be the leader.

In Part 1 you will address what it’s like to be the person led. In Part 2, you will report on yourself as a leader, applying

the knowledge you have gained during the course to evaluate yourself as a leader.

You will need a leadership experience to write about for Part 2 of the project. This can be from your experience as a

parent, volunteer, employee, or in any role in which you led others to accomplish a task sufficient enough to analyze.

Have you ever coached a sports team? Organized an event like an anniversary party or wedding? Led a project at

work?

If you cannot think of an adequate experience, you will need to create one during this course. You might offer to lead a

small project at work or for a community or service organization.

Some ideas you might consider are:

Leading your family in a task requiring organization and roles such as painting the house, cleaning the garage,

preparing for a camping trip, or doing a project to improve the neighborhood

Offering to lead a small team at work to accomplish a task such as organizing a stock room, organizing some

body of data, or putting on a small event

Offering to run a small event at your place of worship, in your neighborhood, or through a community

organization with which you are connected, such as a church picnic, a block party, or a small fundraiser like a

car wash or bake sale

Course Objectives Tested:

2. Analyze the qualities that are unique to successful leaders.

3. Given business scenarios, select appropriate leadership styles.

6. Apply emotional intelligence to a leadership role.

9. Propose solutions to overcome barriers in the organization and methods of implementation.

Project Part Description/Requirements of Project Evaluation Criteria

Participate in an activity in which you are the leader.

Title: Experience Being a Leader

Leading others can be more challenging than we often think it might

be. We not only have to figure out the skills and abilities of those we

are leading, we have to analyze our own attitudes, skills, and abilities.

Recall a time when you were a leader. Alternately, participate in an

activity in which you are the leader. In a four-page paper:

Present an event when you were leading.

Identify your leadership aspects.

o What leadership level did you use? Explain and

support with one or more examples.

o What was your vision for the task?

o What were your leadership strengths and

weaknesses in this task? Describe and support with

one or more examples.

o How did you motivate those you were leading?

Describe and support with one or more examples.

Evaluate and reflect on the experience.

o Did you accomplish the task you set out to do?

o Do you think those you led knew and understood

your vision and goal? Explain and support with

examples.

o Would you say this was a positive experience or

negative experience for you and for those being

led? State why or why not.

o What did you learn from the experience?

o What was the biggest challenge you faced?

o What would you do differently if you could do it

over?
