Leadership Development Reflection 7: Creating Organizational Culture
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to allow the future behavior analysis leader the opportunity to reflect on the Module readings (text/s and articles) and viewings (including Relias and other viewings listed in the schedule) as they relate to their own current or future leadership. For each reflection, the following minimum requirements must be met:
· The reflection must be written in narrative form, with clear paragraph and sentence structure, appropriate grammar and punctuation, professional academic tone, and written at a graduate level.
· The reflection must be a minimum of two full, double spaced pages in length (12 point font and 1 inch margins). Headings are not required but are recommended. The paper must also include a COVER PAGE, which does not count toward the page limit.
· The reflection must cite at least FOUR sources from the CURRENT module and may include additional sources as the student wishes to share. These may be from the textbook(s), the Perusall articles, Relias, the viewings, or other sources the student may be familiar with (other articles, other viewings, other books, etc.). A reference page is NOT required except if the student includes a reference to a source that is not part of this course. In such a case, a reference list in APA format must be included.
· Each reflection will be related to a different theme for that Module and the reflection must respond to the included prompts in their reflection.

Reflection Prompts
1. Define “organizational culture” in your own words, using as many examples and operational definitions as you can.
2. Explain what is meant by a “positive” versus a “negative” organizational culture and the behaviors of leaders that can create positive and negative cultures.
3. Describe a leader you know who has created what you consider a “positive” culture, what did they do specifically that promoted this positivity? Describe the results of this positive culture on employee productivity, longevity/turn over, motivation and morale, efficiency, and client outcomes and satisfaction.
4. Imagine that you are being interviewed for a new behavior analytic leadership position sometime in the future. One of the things the CEO of the company asks is how you would “improve our corporate culture” within the organization. Provide a professional and detailed response for what you would do and how what you do will impact the staff’s behavior and performance as well as client outcomes and satisfaction.
