Personal Leadership Reflection Paper

This is a short reflective paper about you and your personal leadership style from your own perspective. In addition, you are required to ask a friend and/or colleague their perception of your leadership style. Be sure to include their feedback in your paper. It can be just as simple as a sentence or two. There is no maximum number of words. Just be sure to respond to the bulleted items. This is not a research paper but a short informed reflection of your leadership style based upon your own perception along with application of course reading material from your text - especially from (but not exclusively) chapter 4.

To receive maximum points, you must apply/integrate some of the leadership theory that you have learned during the course from the text and/or other sources that relate to leadership. Reflect upon the opportunities that you have had to lead in a formal or informal situations. For example, you are leader, chair of a ministry; a club; a team or your family reunion committee. Or, you could be a team leader for a group in one of your classes at school.

When writing your reflections, please include the following:
• What is my leadership style like? For example, servant leader, transformational, etc.
• What are my leadership qualities that I can build upon?
• What are areas that I can build upon to become a more effective leader?
• How can I apply conceptual material learned in this course in my real life now and/or in the future?
• How has my gender, ethnicity, national culture influenced me as I think about leadership?
• How will I develop further as a leader?
• What might hinder me from being the kind of leader that I dream of becoming?
