Prepare and Submit a Report -

Provide a report that links your chosen issue(Ethics and social responsibility) with a leadership theory, discusses a leader and their impact on that issue, and then relates this information to your own leadership journey and draws conclusions into an action plan for yourself.

Choosing a leader

Select a leader of sufficient prominence that you can access public information to give a rich picture of that individual's leadership style, characteristics, and values.

You may wish to go on the discussion board and share suggestions of suitable cases.

The leader may be: . a leader in a public sector or publicly funded institution . a business or community leader . a leader in your own work organisation Your leader must be living.

Your selection will be guided by consideration of the following:

Your career goals and interests (Do you specifically want to learn about roles and positions within your own work organisation? Are you interested in leadership more broadly?

Are you interested in how your work organisation engages with external stakeholders?) How you are theorising leadership (How closely do you imagine leadership as an aspect of management? Are you purposefully challenging leadership stereotypes?)

Availability of information (A pragmatic choice based on access to quality information). On this point note that although you will want to be able find information easily for particularly prominent leaders there can be overload of information.

Collect the information about the leader Research as many publicly available sources as possible get a rich picture of your selected leader. Sources may include: Books (autobiography, biographies, critiques) Academic journals Internet (News feeds, blogs, comments, company or institutional sites) Television, radio Official documents (Annual reports, institutional policies and communications) YouTube News items, feature articles Social media (Twitter, Facebook)

Prepare notes that will help you address the tasks required of the written component of this assessment. Record quotes, examples and critical incidents that can be used as points of discussion and analysis.
