MGT 410 TOPIC 8 CLC – PROFILES IN LEADERSHIP PRESENTATION

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

The instructor will place students into groups. Each member of the CLC group will personally choose and interview one leader. You may not interview a family member. Examples of leaders include, but are not limited to, former or current managers or supervisors, educational leaders, civic/business leaders, and religious leaders. This interview can take place over the phone, through e-mail, or in person.

Interview

To ensure that the interviews yield comparable results, the CLC group must prepare a list of questions to ask the chosen leaders (interviewees). As a team, choose four questions from the following list:

1. What are the most important qualities an effective leader should have?
2. What is the importance of trust in leadership?
3. What are the qualities you want most in an employee? Why?
4. Who has had the most influence on how you lead? Why?
5. In what areas would you like to improve your leadership?
6. How do your employees react to your leadership?
7. Have you engaged in 360-degree feedback? If so, what has been the result?
8. What is the role of effective communication in leadership?
9. How would you rate yourself at being able to communicate with all your important stakeholders?

In addition to the four interview questions your team will use from the above list, generate, as a group, two more questions, for a total of six interview questions. Please note: All members of the CLC are required to ask their individually chosen leaders the same interview questions, so the CLC must decide as a team which questions will be included in the interview.

Individual Presentation

After conducting the interview, each CLC member will individually create a leadership profile of the chosen leader in a PowerPoint presentation (5-6 slides). Be sure to include the following in your individual leadership profile:

1. A slide that introduces your chosen leader, including justification for choosing the particular leader.
2. A summary of the answers to the interview questions.
3. A description of the leadership model with which the leader seems most closely aligned.

Group Presentation

After all CLC members have created their individual leadership profiles, the group will compile the individual team members’ slide sets into a group PowerPoint presentation (20-24 slides, based on a four-person group). For the combined group presentation, create one or two additional slides (for a total of 22-26 slides, based on a four-person group) to provide the following information:

1. A summary that describes any characteristics of servant leadership displayed by any of the leaders.
2. Other commonalities among the leaders, in terms of values, beliefs, and impact on the community.

Peer Evaluation

Complete the “Peer Evaluation Form,” which is an opportunity to conduct performance reviews on your team members. All members of the CLC group must individually complete and submit the evaluation. Information from the evaluation will be kept confidential and will not be shared with other members on your team. To receive credit for this portion of the assignment, you must submit a fully completed evaluation, including evaluating yourself and selecting one team member that you would hire and why.
