Creatinga Personal Model of Leadership
Instructions
You will create a personal model of leadership based on your research and reflections on what you learn throughout this course.
What is a personal model of leadership?
Leadership is an important dimension of personal growth and development. Developing leadership qualities is a complex process that involves much more than simply selecting an appealing leadership model or participating in leadership training. Creating a satisfying personal model of leadership, which reflects one’s values and beliefs and impacts how one affects organizations, communities, and society, is a lifelong process.
What approach should I take to complete my personal leadership model?
Building a personal leadership model can be approached from both a systematic and holistic perspective. It also requires creativity, passion, and a framework that leaders can use as they explore various models of leadership over their lifetimes. The process of creating a personal model involves continuously exploring and analyzing various leadership models. You will find certain elements of these models appealing and might choose to integrate them into your own model. Others you will not want to include. It is important to weigh the elements against your own system of values and beliefs and select the ones that will most enrich your own model and the lives of those whom you lead.
What do I use to develop my personal model of leadership?
As you explore various leadership models, utilize the table provided below to breakdown, select, and record their appealing elements. You will complete the table as you move through the process of developing your leadership model throughout the course. This table will serve as a starting point or outline as you think through your personal model of leadership and write your paper.
How do I develop my personal model of leadership?
Creating a leadership model involves the following:
1. Select the basic values that will provide the foundation and identify the leadership behaviors that will result from those values. As you select values for your own model, link each one you choose to one of these following four perspectives:
a. Values that guide you from an individual or “I” perspective.
b. Values that guide you from an interpersonal perspective.
c. Values that guide you from an organizational perspective.
d. Values that guide you from a societal perspective.
2. Identify a clear approach for creating a sense of meaning and purpose, including contributing to society. You will consider why the values you selected are meaningful and how you can utilize them to contribute to the greater good. Also, identify the impact of one’s contributions to self, others, organizations, and society. You will consider how the behaviors that result from your foundation of values impact the world around you in a positive and meaningful way.
Two Parts to Creating Your Personal Model of Leadership
You will write your personal model of leadership in two parts. You will submit Part 1 in Topic 5 and receive feedback from the instructor. You will write Part 2 in Topic 8 and combine it with Part 1 and your instructor feedback to create one integrated personal model of leadership (1,250-1,500 words). The two parts involved in creating your personal model of leadership are as follows:
Part 1: 9(COMPLETE) INSTUCTORS FEED BACK:

Before using this Part 1 to complete Part 2 during Week 8, please, do the following, (a) see the report and complete the corrections that would apply and (2) introduce in-text citations more often and earlier in the paper. Keep up the good work!
Part 2:
Reflect on each of the following questions and address them in your personal model of leadership:
1. How could your personal values and personal model of servant leadership influence individual and group behavior?
2. How could your personal values and personal model of servant leadership positively influence organizations and society?
3. How do servant leadership principles in accordance with the Christian worldview, interact with essential management practices and how does servant leadership influence individual, group, and organizational behavior?

Is there an example that I may follow to craft my leadership model?
Below are definitions and an example you can follow as you use the provided table to think through and develop your own personal model of leadership.
Definitions
Values and beliefs: A value or belief describes something that is important to you. It fits into the sentence: “I value…” Examples include integrity, respect, trust, high performance, making an impact, and a clean environment.
Behaviors and action: A behavior describes the visible actions that demonstrate (or are based on) a value. For example, if you believe in “trust” as a value, then the behavior may be, “I always keep private information shared with me in confidence to myself.”
Clear approach for creating meaning and purpose: This is the sense of meaning or purpose that you focus on based on your values. So, if you value protecting the environment, you might outline your approach for contributing to an organization that protects wildlife.
Impact: Impact is attaining positive results or improvements in your area of focus. So, if you are working in a wildlife organization, it could be saving the lives of wildlife or protecting a particular ecosystem.

Rokeach Value Survey
On the following two pages are two lists of values, each in alphabetical order. Each value is accompanied by a short description and a blank space. Your goal is to rank each value in its order of importance to you for each of the two lists. Study each list and think of how much each value may act as a guiding principle in your life.
To begin, select the value that is of most importance to you. Write the number 1 in the blank space next to that value. Next, choose the value is of second in importance to you and write the number 2 in the blank next to it. Work your way through the list until you have ranked all 18 values on this page. The value that is of least importance to you should appear in Box 18.
When you have finished ranking all 18 values, turn the page and rank the next 18 values in the same way. Please do each page separately.
When ranking, take your time and think carefully. Feel free to go back and change your order should you have second thoughts about any of your answers. When you have completed the ranking of both sets of values, the result should represent an accurate picture of how you really feel about what’s important in your life.

Reflection
In an effort to determine my personal model of leadership, I undertook the Rokeach Values Survey assessment. Key terminal and instrumental values were then ranked in their order of significance. These values were essential in determining my personal model of leadership. Terminal values, also referred to as ends-oriented values, prescribe desirable ends or goals for an individual and represent what a person ultimately strives to attain. Terminal values may include personal or social values (Tuulik et al., 2016). According to the Rokeach Values Survey results, the three most important terminal values that I possess include social recognition, clean, as well as pleasure-seeking. As a leader, I clamor for social recognition through respect and admiration. In particular, I hold the view that promoting peer-to-peer recognition is an essential element of a successful employee engagement initiative. I also believe that the practice of celebrating success by recognizing people’s performance improves others’ performance in the contemporary workplace. Apart from social recognition, the results showed that I admire cleanliness and pleasure. I believe that a clean, neat and tidy workplace provides a supportive environment for employee performance and productivity. A good working condition should include a clean environment where people can breathe fresh air and tidy. I also believe that observing general body cleanliness and neatness goes a long way in increasing other people’s confidence in a leader. As such, I like placing much emphases on general body cleanliness. Finally, being a social animal, I am a pleasure seeker. The clamor for pleasure can motivate me to follow the right course of action.
Instrumental values, also referred to as means-oriented values, prescribe desirable standards of behaviors or approaches for reaching an end. As such, instrumental values are a set of beliefs regarding the types of behaviors that are appropriate for reaching the desired goals (Tereshchenko et al., 2016The Rokeach Values Survey results indicated that my three leading instrumental findings included: self-control, politeness, as well as being responsible. As a leader, I often exercise self-control by exercising restrain and self-discipline in all the decisions that I make. To my, self-control is the foundation of leadership since leading others first requires the ability to lead and control oneself. Self-control provides me with the opportunity to deliberate on an important issue before making any decision. Self-control is a critical character trait that all leaders with responsibilities should possess (Tereshchenko et al., 2016). However, I also believe that self-control rarely shows up on any list of the most important traits that constitute a good leader. My ability to exercise self-control improves my level of emotional intelligence. Although many people overlook the significance of self-control, I value it because it can enable me to control negative emotions such as anger. Further, the results indicated that I am a polite person. In all my interactions with peers and followers, I often try as much as possible to exercise courtesy and good manners. Finally, I am a responsible individual because I can always be counted on to accomplish specified tasks and responsibilities.

Running head: LEADERSHIP 1
LEADERSHIP 5
Introduction
The focus is on four levels or perspectives including personal, interpersonal, organizational and societal. Each of these perspectives has an accompanying value including: courageous, loyal, ambitious, and helpful respectively. Each of the values and perspectives generates specific leadership behaviors that help build my model of leadership.
Personal level
The personal level which inspires the value of being courageous. The value of being courageous inspires the behavior of pursuing opportunities and facing challenges. This has opened me up to interact with people and organizations from all walks of life and has helped to generate a personal philosophy. Thus, as a leader at a personal level, I need to be able to look into great opportunities such as those of career development and grow my skills, knowledge, and connections. I am also keen on working with my team in developing goals and achieving outcomes for the group. One way to do this is to offer constant feedback and constructive criticism on how they are handling their delegated tasks. This will ensure we do not become complacent in pursuing opportunities. Also, I plan to face issues head-on and perceive them as additional opportunities. For instance, I plan to deal with any arising conflicts in my team and view it as a chance to develop a training program on conflict resolution and effective communication.
Interpersonal
At this level, I place the value of loyalty as my highest priority. The behaviors that I inculcate include promoting and protecting the interests of those that rely on me. As a leader, my team depends on me to guide them and help them grow and face any challenges. This implies that I cannot pursue private interests or the interests of others outside my team. One way to attain this is always communicated on any changes and their impacts on my team. For instance, as difficult as it is I will be open about any restructuring in the organization that can lead to layoffs. This will ensure that my team can find solutions faster to protect themselves from the worst impacts. I also want to create an environment that values the relationships between team members and management. I want my team members to feel like a family rather than just mere employees. This includes offering validation, moral support, and prohibiting any discriminatory actions.
Organizational
I value being an ambitious leader because it will push me to be visionary and help grow my team’s success. I always aim at encouraging my team to achieve great goals that push them beyond their comfort zone. Thus, as a leader, I want to encourage myself and my team to pursue those rare opportunities, although high risk, to generate very high returns and outcomes in the long term. An example is implementing top-notch technologies that require heavy investment into the organizational structure. This improves the chances of attaining a high ROI in terms of minimizing overhead costs and automating the workflow processes. Success ties into always pursuing information, education, and learning (Campbell, 2016).
Secondly, I am committed to setting and implementing high-performance metrics within my team. This will inspire a culture of high performance and attaining goals set for the year regardless of risks. One of the actions can include merging or acquiring another company to expand our interests in a newer market. While this can very risky, it is important to work with my team to attain the set goals and anticipate even greater returns. Thirdly, I want to inculcate trust and commitment among team members. This is in terms of equipping them with vital resources and allowing them the freedom to innovate and create solutions that enhance the financial and social capital of the organization.
Societal
At the societal level, I value being helpful because it involves a bigger group of people aiming at a common good. I currently volunteer in helping less fortunate children to gain access to education through contributing to a kitty fund and other materials such as books. This has helped me appreciate how a combined effort can generate the greatest positive impacts. Community leadership succeeds from social networks, shared vision and decision making (Martiskainen, 2015). Thus, as a leader I want my vision and actions to positively impact not just my team members but my community. One of the behaviors I aspire to display is to commit to the personal development of my team members. This can include creating a training program that equips them with critical leadership skills. These team members are sourced from the community and offering them the opportunity and work and earn from the organization.
Secondly, I also want to use my leadership influence to mobilize all stakeholders to promote a cause such as the one for education. This involves requesting any contributions such as resources and funds to help those in need to attain their dreams and goals and be empowered. Thirdly, I also want to integrate servant leadership where I commit myself as the defender of their interests and concerns and protecting them from exploitation. As a leader, I am in a better position to effect such positive changes like promoting social justice causes.
