Your final project for this course is to prepare a Style of Leadership Reflection. This paper will include several topics, including the philosophy, skills of leadership, tone and vision, ethics, and challenges related to a chosen organization. By investigating an actual organization in the world, you will learn about the principles that guide that organization. In turn, you will also reflect on your own leadership qualities, and you may revise your own thoughts about leadership. The list provided in the final project rubric includes companies that have been approved for use in this assignment. You may choose an organization not on this list with permission from your instructor.

Background Information

Many managers can attest to the following experience. An employee is asked to carry out a task that has enough flexibility for creative input. Rather than making their own decisions, the employee comes to the manager with an onslaught of questions, trying to pin down the exact parameters of the task. The manager becomes exasperated, wondering why the employee has to ask permission for every tiny detail.

This is not an unusual phenomenon - it can be difficult to break out of the leader-follower mindset at the workplace. Researchers find that only rare, servant leaders are able to prevent employees from being excessively reliant on their bosses, cultivating instead a staff that feels empowered and self-guided. Trust and business acumen are some of the cornerstones in building this type of work culture. We can use this wisdom to train informed and decisive teams that we can trust.

2. Leadership Qualities, Leadership Style, Choosing an Organization, Conclusion, and References are considered level one heading, as they are primary topics. These headings are centered, and bolded, except for References, which is not bolded.

3. Need to better cite your work. I have provided a guide to help you with this. Better to cite often and frequently, then to not cite.

It is important to cite sources you used in your research for several reasons:
. To show your reader you''ve done proper research by listing sources you used to get your information
. To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas
. To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by other authors
. To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them accurately in your paper by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference list
Citing a source means that you show, within the body of your text, that you took words, ideas, figures, images, etc. from another place.
Citations are a short way to uniquely identify a published work (e.g. book, article, chapter, web site). They are found in bibliographies and reference lists and are also collected in article and book databases.
Citations consist of standard elements, and contain all the information necessary to identify and track down publications, including:
. author name(s)
. titles of books, articles, and journals
. date of publication
. page numbers
. volume and issue numbers (for articles)
You must cite:
. Facts, figures, ideas, or other information that is not common knowledge
. Ideas, words, theories, or exact language that another person used in other publications
. Publications that must be cited include: books, book chapters, articles, web pages, theses, etc.
. Another person''s exact words should be quoted and cited to show proper credit

When in doubt, be safe and cite your source!
Plagiarism occurs when you borrow another''s words (or ideas) and do not acknowledge that you have done so. In this culture, we consider our words and ideas intellectual property; like a car or any other possession, we believe our words belong to us and cannot be used without our permission.

The best way to avoid plagiarism is to cite your sources - both within the body of your paper and in a bibliography of sources you used at the end of your paper.
