Personal Leadership Story
One of the goals of this course is for you to critically reflect on your own leadership experiences and philosophy. You will write a reflection paper (3 pages double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font) describing your personal beliefs about leadership, the experiences you have had engaging in leadership, and the identities you hold and the communities you are a part of that have influenced your leadership philosophy.
Use the following questions/prompts to guide your writing:
Reflect on your own leadership experiences and philosophy.
What is your informal theory of leadership? What impacted and influenced this informal theory?
What are your experiences engaging in leadership?
What identities do you hold (both personal and social) that have influenced your leadership philosophy?
If you are going to give an example out of your life and your leadership experience, try using the STAR technique:
“The STAR method is an interview technique that gives you a straightforward format you can use to tell a story by laying out the situation, task, action, and result.
Situation: Set the scene and give the necessary details of your example.
Task: Describe what your responsibility was in that situation.
Action: Explain exactly what steps you took to address it.
Result: Share what outcomes your actions achieved.” (c) https://www.themuse.com/advice/star-interview-methodLinks to an external site.
