  • Briefly discuss the leader, explain what organization the leader works for and what position within that organization the leader holds, and provide a brief biography of your chosen leader.
  • What are this leader’s positive attributes? What makes him or her the exemplar of ethical leadership?
  • How does this leader model positive, ethical leadership behavior for others?
  • Based on what you’ve learned about the leader, how would you model positive, ethical leadership behavior for others as a leader?
  • How does modeling positive, ethical leadership behavior allow leaders in general to set the standards of the organization?
  • Based on the reading and research you have done, what do you believe are the three most important qualities a leader who models positive, ethical leadership behavior must possess? Why?

Submit your answers in a three- to four-page Microsoft Word document.

Question Description

Discussion Question – Role Models
A role model is someone who behaves in a way that inspires you to imitate the behavior. Perhaps someone’s way of giving feedback is so sensitive you are inspired to adopt the method as your own. For instance, someone’s business attire seems perfectly suited to the occasion and exudes an attractive or powerful statement, and you wish to dress in a similar manner.

  • Describe your role model at work, including a particular aspect in that person’s behavior that inspires you.
  • Explain exactly what the person does or says to inspire you to the point of emulation.
  • Then, analyze a scenario in which this person has changed the organization positively because of the characteristic you admire. How is the organization a better place because of the presence of your role model?
  • How can you change your personal behavior to be similar? How would your career be enhanced?

Conclude your post with a three or four sentence summary of the most important point, lesson or takeaways from your research and analysis for your initial post.
Provide a substantive (500–1,000 words) initial discussion post. Justify your answers with examples and reasoning.
After your initial post, comment on the initial postings of at least two peers. Your follow-up postings should each be a 100 to 200 word minimum that substantively address the required content with the following prompts in mind:.

  • Compare the role model that you discussed in your initial posting to a peer’s role model. What are the similarities and differences between the two leaders?
  • Assess whether the peer’s role model would also be someone you would consider a role model based on the information provided in their initial posting.

Question Description

Discussion Question – Five Bases of Power
Conduct research on French and Raven’s five bases of power, which include coercive, legitimate, reward, referent, and expert power.
For the first part of your post, choose five leaders, one for each of the power bases, and give an example to support why a leader’s use of power best exemplifies a certain power base.
For the second part of your post, select any one of the following bullet points. Attempt to spread the bullet points out among class members (e.g., not have one bullet point answered by all course participants).

  • Assess which base of power is most appealing to you from the perspective of both a leader and a follower.
  • Justify which leader seems the most successful, using specific examples and research to support your view.
  • Propose a supported plan (three or four action steps) for how you (or the organization) might help one of the least successful leaders you chose to improve their leadership success.
  • Analyze a leader that uses a good balance of the different bases of power. How does this leader compare to those who have a dominant style?

Conclude your post with a three or four sentence summary of the most important point, lesson or takeaways from your research and analysis for your initial post.
Provide a substantive (500–1,000 words) initial discussion posting. Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the initial postings of at least two peers. Your responses to other initial posts must be a 100 to 200 word minimum each.
