Philosophy of Leadership

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF LEADERSHIP INSTRUCTIONS
Many organizations publicly define who they are through their vision, mission, and values statements. You can do the same as individuals. This exercise is very similar to organizational vision, mission, and values statement writing; there are slight modifications from the corporate format concerning length, focus, and purpose. Keep in mind; this exercise is very subjective. It can be very challenging if taken seriously, and it can change your life. You are to write a Personal Philosophy of Leadership through your construction of a personal vision, mission, and values statement. You may wish to review the grading rubric before starting. Here are the steps to the process:
1.    Vision StatementThe vision statement is a statement of what is possible; it is a picture of the future. Write a comment on what is possible for you and what the view of the future is for you. This may be 1 paragraph (56 sentences) and up to a page. This is not an organizational vision statement. It is a personal vision statement; there are differences.
2.    Mission StatementThe mission statement answers the vision. If your vision statement is to be or to do XYZ (what is possible), your mission statement is that you accomplish your vision by ABC (your reflections, thoughts, and method). This is a little different than the short corporate mission statements. This mission statement is a philosophy or creed that focuses on your character, your contributions or achievements, and on the values or principles upon which your attitudes are based. You may call it your Personal Constitution. You must answer the following: 1-What is my purpose in life? 2-What counts? 3-What do I want to accomplish in life? 4- What legacy would you like to leave? 5-You must also weave into this statement what type of leader you want to be, what your purpose is as a leader, and what legacy you would like to leave as a leader. To earn the tightest amount of points, the inclusion of a Christian worldview in this assignment is strongly encouraged; you should be praying and seeking Gods guidance in this exercise. Write a statement that includes all of the above material. This must be well thought out. This is not an hour before it is todue exercise; that will be obvious. This statement is expected to be a minimum of 34 pages in length. This is not an organizational mission statement. It is a personal mission statement; there are differences.
3.    Values Statementin bullet form, list 5benefits us that are most important to you by which you would want others to define you. This is not an organizational values statement. It is a personal values statement; there are differences.
4.    Referencesthis paper must be at least 5 pages and include a minimum of 6 text ref to ground your thoughts. Use proper, current APA formatting for in-text citations for the final reference page.

Assignment Overview
Case 2: Compare/Contrast Essay

Length: no less than 1,000 words, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font size.

This essay is to consist of your own thoughts, words, and ideas. No secondary sources are to be used in this essay.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.

Case Assignment
For this assignment, you will choose one topic from the list below and write a comparison/contrast essay using three points of analysis. Please note that a compare/contrast essay may address similarities, differences, or both similarities and differences between two concepts or things.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your readers attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would state what is being compared and/or contrasted.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. An essay with three points may be divided into three body paragraphs, one for each point describing the term. For organizational purposes, the body may be structured in two ways: subject to subject or point by point. For example, an essay comparing and contrasting two vehicles might be organized as follows:

Subject to Subject

Body Paragraph 1: Ford (System, Features, Cost/Residual)

Body Paragraph 2: Ferrari (System, Features, Cost/Residual)

OR

Point by Point

Body Paragraph 1: Systems: Ford and Ferrari

Body Paragraph 2: Features: Ford and Ferrari

Body Paragraph 3: Cost/Residual: Ford and Ferrari

In either case, each body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world.

Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 2 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English found in the course syllabus.

Jobs or careers
Neighborhoods or cities
Countries
Vacation destinations
Seasons
Exercise
Hobbies

Assignment Expectations
Write a compare/contrast essay (no less than 1,000 words in length) that states an original thesis statement.
Demonstrate the ability to write clearly and cohesively when expressing ones ideas and/or intended purpose.
Demonstrate the ability to clearly state and support a thesis in an organized and cohesive essay.
