3012 Unit 5 Final Project/GREAT Discussion Guidelines and Checklist.pdf
Introduction This document provides guidance in creating substantive discussion posts and providing feedback to learning peers within the context of the coursework. Substantive Discussion Posts At the core of all Capella courses is a public discussion of issues pertinent to the topics at hand. Typically, in each unit, your instructor will post two or three questions in the courseroom (which is where discussion takes place). You are required to respond substantively to each. You may ask, what is meant by substantively? To understand what a substantive discussion is, remember the components of a G.R.E.A.T. post:
Grammar rules apply. Make sure your posts are written effectively. Relevance is important. Your posts should pertain to the readings, assignment or to the ongoing discussion. Engage your audience. Incorporate your interpretation of the topic or issue. Add value to the discussion. Generate questions, or provide other learners with new information. Timeliness is key. Provide your peers and instructors the opportunity to respond.
The guideline is 250 words in length, but you should regard this only as a guideline. If you have more to say about a topic, you should do so. If you have said everything that you can about a question and cannot meet the guideline, it is better to post what you have than to add irrelevant material just to get to 250 words. Your instructor is going to evaluate you on what you wrote more than on how much you wrote. Responses to Other Learners Capella learners bring a wealth of experiences to the course, building and engaging our courseroom learning community. As a member of the learning community, you are expected to respond to the posts of your peers. Your responses should address the substance of what was written. Learning is a social experience; others are depending on your insightfulness and contributions. A good technique is to react and ask the author of the initial post questions about what he or she wrote. This accomplishes two useful things:
You will think more carefully about what was written if you have to ask a question about it. It stimulates discussion.
You should be supportive of and encouraging to your fellow learners. If you read something that you like or that you think was well written, say so. However, simple agreement or disagreement should be accompanied by substantive reasons, examples, or evidence. Asking questions is an excellent way to encourage your peers to share that experience. Most learners find discussion posts and responses very helpful in building their online community. Your fellow learners comprise a valuable resource for you. Typically, they are very experienced in their own fields and have a great deal to share. Most are interested in forming a scholarly network that can provide support and resources with whom to share ideas. Being part of a community of learning may be one of the most valuable aspects of

your time with Capella. Guidelines for Effective Feedback What Is Effective Feedback?
One of your responsibilities to yourself and your learning community is to contribute to the process of giving and receiving feedback. To help support a positive learning experience at Capella, there are guidelines for giving and receiving such feedback. Generally, exchanging effective feedback is a part of your weekly interactive learning discussions. Many courses at Capella also use a formal peer review process for giving and receiving feedback on course papers and projects. Effective feedback:
Honors competence and reinforces behaviors. Aligns expectations and course work priorities. Fills gaps in knowledge. Supports individuals to take corrective action. Directs individuals toward meeting learning goals.
Giving Feedback
The following is a list of tips for giving effective feedback: Plan your feedback. Making notes first may help you decide what you want to say and how you want to say it. Focus on the work. Address the ideas shared, and avoid personal comments. Be specific. If something is not working, identify it and describe why. Suggest alternatives. Acknowledge what works well. Offer praise. Be courteous and truthful. Ask questions for clarity. Acknowledge valid points of view. Agree with what is true. Explain yourself. Go beyond, “good point!” Elaborate your comments with concisely written paragraphs.
Receiving Feedback
The following is a list of tips for receiving effective feedback: Listen at all times, even in an online environment. Be receptive to what others have to say. Ponder what is said. Challenge your work. Prioritize the feedback you receive. Some learners use green, yellow, and red to categorize their revisions according to importance. Remember that not everyone has to agree with your work. It is okay for others to challenge it.

Ask yourself the following questions when participating in the class dialogue, to improve the quality of the courseroom discussion and to support team learning:
Does my contribution fit with the dialogue, or should I start a separate discussion?1. Are my ideas logically organized into an argument, and written in clear and mechanically clean prose?2. Am I expressing worthwhile ideas, or do they just take up space?3. Is the central thesis statement clear (whether direct or implied)?4. Can the reader easily determine what my main point is?5. Does it provide sufficient, relevant, and interesting details?6. Are there sufficient explanations or examples to support any generalizations?7. Does this contribution provide a series of points that add up to an argument supporting the main point (thesis)?
8. Does the contribution proceed logically from point to point?9. Are there any contradictions? Is the paragraph structure logical?10. Are there appropriate transitions words between ideas? Does it flow?11. Have I followed the courseroom etiquette?12. Is my point of view clear?13. Is the tone appropriate and respectful of others' ideas?14. Do the hyperlinks work and follow the correct format?15. Is the writing punctuated appropriately?16. Is my contribution concise, precise, and free of grammatical errors?17. Are words spelled correctly?18. If I referenced other authors, did I provide the appropriate citation?19.

3012 Unit 5 Final Project/Unit 5 Instructions.pdf
UNIT 5 Effective Leadership Practices INTRODUCTION In this course so far, you have learned four of Kouzes and Posner's five practices of effective leadership:
Modeling the way.1. Inspiring a shared vision.2. Challenging the process.3. Enabling others to act.4.
The fifth and final practice is encouraging the heart (Kouzes & Posner, 2008). Effective leaders realize that employees should be recognized for a job well done. While some individuals prefer public praise and others prefer personal recognition, most employees want to be recognized in some way. In your readings for this unit, Kouzes and Posner state that effective leaders begin their leadership development by first learning to lead themselves. Effective leadership begins from within and expands outward to affect others. Kouzes and Posner describe how this development cascades into effective leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 2008). You now have all of the tools needed to complete the course project. When interviewing your selected leader or researching your leader subject, remember to address the practices, theories, styles, and characteristics of effective leadership. Use them in your analysis of effective leaders and in developing your own positive leadership capabilities. Reference Kouzes, J., & Posner, B. (2012). The leadership challenge (5th ed.). San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.
OBJECTIVES To successfully complete this learning unit, you will be expected to:
Describe how the Kouzes and Posner philosophy would be demonstrated through rewarding and recognizing others.
1.
Articulate methods for celebrating and recognizing others that reflect the principle of encouraging the heart.2. Describe how exemplary leadership practices are reflected through the leadership demonstrated by business or community leaders.
3.
Evaluate the influence of environmental factors and organizational culture on the leadership practices of business or community leaders.
4.
Evaluate the extent to which strategies that integrate leadership strengths and themes apply to specific challenges and opportunities faced by business or community leaders.
5.
Provide a course reflection on individual lessons for leadership development.6.

COURSE PROJECT
Effective Leadership Practices The focus of this course project is to provide an opportunity for you to closely examine effective leadership practices. To complete this project, you will research concepts in leadership and gather data to support a definition of effective leadership, based on an in-depth study of one real-world business leader. You will use the five practices of exemplary leadership from The Leadership Challenge textbook as guidelines in your analysis. You will submit a final paper in Unit 5 that incorporates your findings throughout the course from the following project component assignments:
Unit 1: Definition of Leadership. Unit 2: Leadership Theories. Unit 3: Leadership Styles and Characteristics.
Your definition of effective leadership must be based on the example of a real-world business leader. You must select the business leader you wish to study very early in the course. You may study either a business leader you know personally or a business leader from the Option B Leader List. The business leader you choose will determine which of the following two project options you should pursue. Option A: Interview a Personally-Known Business Leader Identify an individual who is currently serving in a leadership capacity at an organization you work for or for which you have some knowledge. Arrange an interview with your selected individual. Structure the topic of your interview based on the five practices of exemplary leadership outlined in your The Leadership Challenge textbook, which are also listed below as the Interview or Research Questions. Conduct the interview, then write a summary describing how the five practices are reflected through the leadership demonstrated by the leader. Explain why you chose your selected business leader. Provide background and context for the environment and culture of the organization for which your selected leader provides leadership. Note: For your paper, change the name and work affiliation of the leader you interview in order to protect his or her privacy, but provide the background and context as indicated in this project description. Option B: Research a Well-Known Business Leader It may be difficult for you to gain access to interview an available business leader within the timeframe of this course. If so, with instructor approval, you can opt to research a well-known business leader from the Option B Leader List. Note: If you choose Option B, you are required to choose someone from this list. Focus your research on addressing the five practices of exemplary leadership outlined in your The Leadership Challenge textbook, which are also listed below as the Interview or Research Questions. Write a summary describing how the five practices are reflected through the leadership demonstrated by the leader. Explain why you chose your selected leader. Provide background and context for the environment and culture of the organization or society in which your selected leader provides leadership. Interview or Research Questions In either your Option A interview or your Option B research, address the following questions:
What is your chosen leader's definition of leadership? How does your chosen leader demonstrate the five practices of exemplary leadership?
How does your chosen leader model the way?1. How does your chosen leader inspire a shared vision?2.
