Assessment Criteria
This assessment will measure your ability to:
· critically analyse your chosen leader’s effectiveness, leadership traits, behaviours, and use of power.
· understand relevant leadership theories, models and concepts referred to in your research and reflection
· acknowledge sources of information (format, quality and quantity of references)
· reflect on the guest industry speaker’s experience
Task
Overview
You are required to critically reflect on the guest industry speaker’s presentation that will outline challenging issues in leadership. Then, you will use that knowledge to select a person whom you consider to be a successful and effective leader and analyse their leadership traits, behaviours, and use of power.
The purpose of this assessment is for you to critically reflect on the guest industry speaker’s experience so that you can draw from their experiences the qualities of leadership that you can apply to a leader of your choosing. Through critical reflection, you will connect those leadership qualities to your own leadership or potential leadership qualities in order to cultivate them as part of your leadership development. This assessment will challenge you to research and apply leadership concepts, models and theories that are covered in this course.
Assessment details
In this assessment, you will critically reflect on the guest industry speaker’s experience, synthesise your reflection, and apply it to the leadership qualities of your chosen leader. You will be challenged to research and apply leadership theories, models and concepts that you have so far learnt in this course.
By critically reflecting, analysing and applying leadership theories and models in this assessment, you will build your leadership knowledge and understanding. Then, you will be able to act on leadership feedback that enhances your leadership capabilities so that you are ready to respond to opportunities for leadership development in Assessment 3.
This assessment has three stages:
1. Listen to the presentation provided by the Guest Industry Speaker (given below), who will outline some of the difficulties that leaders face. You will need to critically reflect on the qualities needed to be an effective leader, and the relevant models and theories. For more information about how to write a critical reflection (and how it is different to a personal reflection), check out ‘RMIT Learning Lab: Writing an academic reflection’ in the Resources section of this document. Please note critical reflection needs to be embedded within the three questions given below (Q1, Q2, and Q3) and not be added as a separate document.
2. Using the knowledge gained from your reflection, select a person whom you consider to be a successful and effective leader. This person could be:
· someone you have worked with
· someone you have interacted with in person
· a person you judge to be a good leader
· someone you have read about
· a public figure.
3. Research and identify your chosen person’s leadership traits, behaviours and use of power. Then answer the following questions:
Q1: What makes your chosen person a good leader? (~200 words)
Q2: How do you perceive this person’s leadership traits and behaviours to be effective? (~1,000 words)
Q3: How does the person use power and influence to be an effective leader? (~300 words)
Your assessment must have at minimum 6 academic references from academic sources such as peer-reviewed journal articles and books. Websites, such as Wikipedia and blogs can provide a useful starting point for general details. However, these sites do not contain academic content, are not peer-reviewed, and are therefore not considered as strong sources. They are not acceptable, and will not be counted in the minimum references required.
Correct and thorough referencing and the quality of your sources will also be considered in the evaluation of your assignment. Please ensure that your spelling, grammar and syntax are correct before you submit your personal reflection.
