6.7 - Discussion: Leadership Crosstalk - Learning Objectives Resources

1717 unread replies.2929 replies.

Charisma. You might be thinking that this trait is somewhat mystical and not within your grasp. Yet, the literature states that charisma, like other character traits, can be developed by being enthusiastic, optimistic, caring about people, not talking down to them. Additionally, ensure you display self-confidence and not a feeling of insecurity. Additionally, learn the leadership techniques outlined in our text and other readings to enhance communications, to inspire, and empower others. You also read about Transactional and Transformation Leadership.

The purpose of this module's activity is for you, as a class, to locate a collection of websites, videos, and other resources on the Internet that relate to the following two learning objectives in this module. Many objects on the internet offer current information on charismatic, transactional, and transformational leadership; it’s your job to find the ones that best demonstrate or illustrate them:

• Develop aspects of charismatic leadership by pursuing a vision or idea that you care deeply about and want to share with others.
• Apply the concepts that distinguish transformational from transactional leadership.

To complete this activity:

1. Go to the Internet and find an appropriate website, video, PowerPoint, paper, or other learning object that support the two learning objectives listed.
2. Compose a summary explaining why you chose this website, or why it demonstrates the learning objective you chose.
3. If applicable, point out other helpful leadership information the website provides.

Post your responses to the discussion early in the module week. Your responses should be a minimum of 300 words, grammatically sound, and free of spelling errors. Review your peers' responses and comment on two posts that particularly interest to you.
