JLBC: PURE LEADERSHIP

JLBC: PURE LEADERSHIP

JLBC OBJECTIVES:

BY THE END OF THE JLBC SESSION, YOU WILL:

• Be offered a variety of definitions of Leadership and the theoretical bases for them

• Be asked to consider how Leadership is different from management, teamwork, and power

• Be encouraged to consider the extent to which Leadership is universal versus context-specific

• Be introduced to the essential features of Leadership: vision, inspiration, and strategy

• Be given definitions of “leader” and “team member” (follower)

• Be encouraged to reflect on your definition of Leadership

• Reflect on your leadership situation and how the principles from the session apply.

Consider the following questions:

If you completed the introductory module, you have already been asked to define “leadership.” Has your definition changed since then? If so, what is your new purpose?

B Google definitions of Leadership. If there is one you like better than your own, why do you think that one is best?

C Define “leader” and “follower” in your own words.

D Consider how Leadership is different from “management,”

“teamwork,” and “power.”

E How does your definition of Leadership relate to your current Leadership (or followership if you are telling these to a situation where you are part of a team but not the official leader) situation?

If you do not yet have a project, how does your definition of Leadership relate to how you envision yourself beginning and executing a project?
