Final Leadership Reflection Week 13

The primary goal of this course was for you to create a personal definition of leadership and identify the strengths and skills necessary to develop as a leader. On the way to this goal you have had the opportunity to analyze leaders you have known or admired in the context of different leadership styles. As you developed your personal leadership philosophy, we discussed the models and philosophies of leadership so you could align your strengths and preferences with one model best that best supports your leadership skills. Through practical case studies, you demonstrated your understanding of the best use of effective leadership in different situations. I hope you feel accomplished, as you did all of this in five weeks!

One aspect of leadership that we have not delved into deeply is metacognition, which most simply put is thinking about your thinking. Metacognition also refers to the process of assessing your understanding and performance. In this instance, you will reflect on the objectives of the course, select one, and assess how well you understand that aspect of our course.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
