Please review the handout entitled “Leadership, Power, Influence, Relationships & Communication…Tied Together” and then describe an experience from your personal or professional life where you were led by another person. Most importantly, the leader must have effectively used their leadership, power, influence, relationships, and communication for the betterment of a group, organization, or a cause. Please be specific and let us exactly how each part of the model (influence, power, relationships, and communication) positively affected the ability of the leader.
Please also discuss how your role as a follower influenced the leadership process and then connect this experience to material from the course discussing how followers influence the leadership process.
Lastly, please briefly explain what role social responsibility played in the leadership process you described.
This exercise helps one to connect the content to one’s personal/professional experience, which makes the content that much more tangible.
