Leadership Style Assessment:
Evaluating the Impact

Being a global change agent does not necessarily mean you are in an executive leadership position, but it does mean you have a particular mind-set. That mind-set is one that you use to remain flexible to change, to develop creative solutions to complex business problems, to manage stress effectively, and to mobilize a culturally diverse team and inspire the team to help achieve organizational objectives. Global change agents must be competent in cross-cultural business practices. Imagine you are a global change agent similar to Janelle in the following scenario. Read the scenario, follow the instructions, and reflect on the results of your assessment.

Janelle is interviewing for a low-level management job, which will require her to supervise a small team of employees. One of the forms Janelle must complete as part of the interview process is a leadership style questionnaire. Janelle wonders what insight her potential employers hope to gain from the results, what insight the results will provide her personally, and how this information will impact her career.

Experiences like Janelle’s are not uncommon. Organizations use leadership style assessments and other such instruments for a variety of reasons. Bookstore shelves and the Internet offer a vast number of resources to help business professionals uncover their leadership styles and develop perspectives for positive and effective change. Given the widespread availability and use of such instruments, global change agents should evaluate the potential impact and usefulness of the assessments and their underlying leadership theories.

To prepare for this Discussion, complete the style questionnaire at the end of Chapter 4 in your course text, and reflect on your results.

BY DAY 3

Post your evaluation of leadership style assessments, such as the one you just completed, and the leadership style approach. Explain whether you think such assessments and a leadership style approach are useful for providing insight into leadership behavior for global change agents. Explain the potential impact of the use of such assessments for both individual employees and organizations. Also, explain the potential impact of the style approach to leadership for individual change agents and organizations.

Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and one or more additional scholarly sources.

Refer to the Week 1 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

 

Submit a paper which compares and contrasts two mental health theories:

• You may choose your theories from the textbook or from other sources.
• Describe each theory, including some history about the person who developed the theory and the major ideas and applications of the theory.
• Describe the ways in which the two theories are similar, and how they differ.
• Include a statement of how each theory could be used in your nursing practice. Include specific patient examples if you have them. You may also critique the theory: Is there anything with which you disagree or are there any problems you can identify?
• It is expected that this essay will be 2-3 pages in length (not including the title page), double-spaced. Your paper should include an introduction and conclusion and proper APA citations from any source material you use, including your text.

Discussion: Design and Layout of a Text- and Image-Based Learning Object

There are three stages in the digital media construction process: pre-production, production, and post-production. For this Discussion, you will focus on the pre-production (design) of the text- and image-based learning object. You will produce the design in the form of a script and storyboard.

In the design process, pre-production is where most of the problems are worked out and most revisions take place. This is why most designers choose to start with pencil and paper for the ease of making changes. In this process, you share the design with key members of the production team to make suggestions for revision. Ultimately, your finished design will be the blueprint for your LO. This does not mean that you need to draw everything perfectly, but the script and storyboard should be detailed enough so that a team of individuals could take your design and create exactly what you have intended. For this Discussion, you will assume the role of a designer and develop a script and detailed storyboard for your LO, share it with classmates for suggestions, and make revisions. Your final design should be able to stand alone as an LO without the use of any additional media.

To prepare:

This module’s Learning Resources focus on the design and layout of text and images for the purpose of learning. In this Discussion, you will design a storyboard for a text- and image-based LO for use in your workplace. You will inform the content of your LO from academic literature.

Read Clark and Mayer (2016), Chapters 4, 5, and 8, and Vaughn (2011), Chapters 2 and 3. Design the LO, paying close attention to Mayer’s multimedia, spatial contiguity, and coherence principles and Vaughn’s design principles for text and images. Also, consider other instructional design principles you may have explored and discussed in Module 1.

********Post your script and storyboard to your website and post the URL of your site to your group’s thread in the Discussion area. Explain your instructional design and graphic design choices in detail. Explain how the text and graphics work together to apply the principles of multimedia, spatial contiguity, and coherence.

that is only you need storyboard examle are attached before in word document. Give you more extension, thanks

A process recording is a written tool used by field education experience students, field instructors, and faculty to examine the dynamics of social work interactions in time. Process recordings can help in developing and refining interviewing and intervention skills. By conceptualizing and organizing ongoing activities with social work clients, you are able to clarify the purpose of interviews and interventions, identify personal and professional strengths and weaknesses, and improve self-awareness. The process recording is also a useful tool in exploring the interpersonal dynamics and values operating between you and the client system through an analysis of filtering the process used in recording a session.

For this Assignment, you will submit a process recording of your field education experiences specific to this week.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages)

Provide a transcript of what happened during your field education experience, including a dialogue of interaction with a client.
Explain your interpretation of what occurred in the dialogue, including social work practice or theories, and explain how it might relate to engagement covered this week.
Describe your reactions and/or any issues related to your interaction with a client during your field education experience.
Explain how you applied social work practice skills when performing the activities during your process recording.
BY DAY 7
Submit your Assignment.

Note: You should also share your process recordings with your field instructor during your individual supervision.
Note: Adherence to confidentiality is required in your process recordings. Do not include real names of clients, supervisors, or social workers with whom you may come into contact during your social work field education experience. Omit any personal identifiers when detailing the interaction with your social work clients
