Module 1 - SLP
LEADERSHIP TRAITS, BEHAVIORS, AND STYLES
For the Session Long Project you will be applying the concepts in the background materials to your own personal experiences in the workplace. For this first SLP assignment you will choose a supervisor that you personally worked for and got to know well, and compare and contrast this supervisor's leadership characteristics with your own personal leadership characteristics using the concepts from the required background materials. Carefully reflect on your supervisor's traits, behaviors, and leadership styles. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following issues:
1. Overall, is your current role more of a leadership or a management role? How about your supervisor? Are they a manager or leader? Refer to the section on "Differences between Leadership and Management" in Chapter 10 of Hiriyappa (2010).
2. What key differences in leadership traits do you see between yourself and your supervisor? Refer to specific leadership traits discussed in the required textbook chapters.
3. What key differences in leadership behaviors do you see between yourself and your supervisor? Refer to the concepts of being task-oriented, or people-centered/relationship-oriented that are discussed in the required background materials.
4. How would you compare your own leadership style with that of your supervisor? Consider leadership styles discussed in the background text materials such as autocratic style, participative/democratic style, and laissez-faire/free-rein style.
