Project One: Writing a leadership analysis paper (5 pages), submitting it by Feb 28, and presenting it in class. First, each student will choose either a person from his/her own experience who you believe was in a position of leadership or a figure from history or a character from a fictitious work who the student believes was cast in a position of leadership and analyze their leadership. Then, the student will analyze their leadership by considering the following factors: (1) Identify the name of the organization for which this person provided leadership. How did the nature of the organization affect the ways that his person demonstrated leadership? (2) Who were the followers involved? What dynamics motivated these followers to follow your leader? (3) Cite examples where the leader exhibited effective or ineffective leadership. In these episodes, why does the student think the leadership was effective or ineffective? 8. Project Two: Writing a leadership portrait (5 pages), submitting it by Feb 28, and presenting it in class. Each student will relate an instance from his/her own experience in which he/she was called upon to provide leadership and analyze it by considering the following factors: (1) Describe the organization for which he/she provided leadership. How did the nature of the organization affect the ways that he/she exercised his/her leadership? (2) Who were his/her followers? What dynamics motivated these followers to follow him/her? (3) In what ways was his/her leadership effective or ineffective? Why does she/he think her/his leadership was effective or ineffective? On what grounds does she/he draw these conclusions? What would she/he repeat or change if a similar circumstance were to arise? 9. Project Three: Writing a personal leadership project (8 pages), submitting it by March 28, and presenting it in class. Each student will write his/her personal leadership project based on understandings and insights derived from materials covered in class or in her/his reading, and present the project in class. 3
The student will construct a personal leadership statement considering the following factors: (1) As a Christian leader, how will she/he seek to relate to her/his church or other organization? (Include a brief personal definition of leadership.) (2) What areas of personal strength or giftedness can she/he identify which will be particularly central to her/his leadership? Identify areas of "non-strength" and discuss how she/he might compensate for these as she/he demonstrates leadership. (3) Address issues of character, personal assessment, and leadership style. 10.
