Assignment

This paper gives you an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned during the semester. Use concepts from the class as well as your answers to the questions for reflection assignment (due January 15) to demonstrate what you have learned. Focus on your learning rather than listing concepts or defining terms. If there is an idea that challenged/ challenges your assumptions, you may discuss the challenge.

Use the language from class in the paper so that I know you have mastered the concepts. Be as specific as possible. As an example, you might talk about discovering that you are motivated by the need for affiliation as defined by McClelland, and how that preferred style of motivation affects your approach to work. Then go on to explain how that motivation style helped you to relate to a particular leadership approach (i.e. transformational leadership).

You may answer each question individually or, if you prefer, you may use a narrative.

In order to be successful in this assignment:

1) Provide examples of what you have learned using concepts from the class in your description

2) Demonstrate an ability to use the concepts to analyze a question and generate solutions

3) Apply the concepts from this class to your personal life
