Corporate Social Responsibility & Ethical Leadership

(3 PAGES )

Think about a situation involving leadership that made a strong impression on you.

Introduction: Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it.  

Concrete Experience:  Objectively describe the leadership experience.  It could be a situation where you were in a leadership position, or one in which you were working under someone else as leader.  In this section, strive to be objective and stick to the facts—who, what, where, when, and how.

Reflective Observation: .  How did you feel—what were your thoughts at the time? It is also critical to consider the experience of others involved.  How do you think they were feeling? Did they see things the same way you did? 

Abstract Conceptualization: . Use the reference below  to help explain the behavior of the leader and the followers in this incident. How do the models of leadership and power presented in the background material help you understand your behavior as well as how others reacted (commitment, compliance, or resistance?) 

Active Experimentation: What have you learned about effective leadership from this exercise? What have you learned about how the leadership style influences follower’s reactions and motivation? What actions would you take to revise or improve upon your own leadership style and practices to be more effective in the future?

Conclusion: Sum up the main points of your analysis and the key learning you are taking from it.
