you to analyze various companies’ mission or organizational vision statements
to determine how such statements guide leadership practices within an
organization.
Select a mission
statement or organizational vision statement from one company that professes to
practice servant leadership and one that practices a standard leadership model.
Some well-known companies that practice servant leadership are Southwest

Once you have selected
two companies, write a 1,000-1,250 word analysis that addresses the following:

contrast the mission and/or organizational visions statements of the two
companies. What are the similarities and differences? How do you think these
statements impact the culture of each organization?

principles or values are either explicitly or implicitly apparent in the
mission/vision statement of the company that professes to be servant-led?

3. Explain how you see
the principles expressed in the statements manifested in each company’s public
reputation, and how they treat their employees in the services they provide,
their marketing, etc. Provide a few specific examples to demonstrate your
points.
4.
4. Do you think each
company is living out the values/principles expressed in their statements? Why
or why not? If the more traditionally led company adopted a servant leadership
model, what revisions to their mission/values statement would be warranted? Be
sure to comment on your understanding of how such mission/vision statements can
or should guide a company’s treatment of its employees and clients.
Include the mission or
organizational vision statements of the companies you selected in your
analysis.

statement. Two of the selected articles must be peer reviewed journal articles.

GC PSC410 Week 7 CLC –
Profiles in Leadership Presentation
Details:
This is a
Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.
The class will be
placed by the instructor into groups. Each team member will personally
interview one leader of his/her choice. Examples of leaders can include, but
are not limited to, former or current managers or supervisors, educational
leaders, civic/business leaders, and religious leaders. This interview can take
place via phone, via e-mail, or in person.
To ensure that the
interviews yield comparable results, the team must prepare a list of questions
to ask the chosen leaders (interviewees). As a team, choose four questions from
the list below:
1.
1. What are the most
important qualities an effective leader should have?
2.
2. What is the
importance of trust in leadership?
3.
3. What are the
qualities you want most in an employee? Why?
4.
4. Who has had the
most influence on how you lead? Why?
5.
5. In what areas would
you like to improve your leadership?
6.
6. How do your
employees react to your leadership?
7.
7. Have you engaged in
360-degree feedback? If so, what has been the result?
8.
8. What is the role of
effective communication in leadership?
9.
9. How would you rate
yourself at being able to communicate with all your important stakeholders?
In addition to the
four interview questions your team will use from the above list, as a group,
generate two more questions, for a total of six interview questions. Please
note: Each team member is required to ask his/her chosen leaders the same
interview questions so you must decide as a team which questions you will ask.
After conducting the
interview, each team member will individually create a leadership profile of
his/her chosen leader within a PowerPoint presentation (5-6 slides). Be sure to
include the following in your individual leadership profile:
1.
1. A slide that
introduces your chosen leader
2.
2. A summary of the
answers to the interview questions
3.
3. A description of
the leadership model with which the leader seems most closely aligned
After creating your
individual leadership profile, the team will then compile all team members’
individual slide sets for a group PowerPoint presentation of 22-26 slides
(based on a four-person group). Be sure to include the following in your team
compilation of leadership profiles:
1.
1. A summary that
describes any characteristics of servant leadership that are displayed by any
of the leaders.
2.
2. Other commonalities
among the leaders, in terms of values, beliefs, and impact on the community.
Note: The team
compilation will add one or two additional slides for a total of 22-26 (based
on a four-person group).
APA format is required
for essays only. Solid academic writing is always expected. For all assignment
delivery options, documentation of sources should be presented using APA
formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in
the Student Success Center.
