-: Welcome back, everyone, and welcome to module six.
This week we're going to be learning about
Principles of Effective Leadership.
In this module, I will present different concepts
and theories of leadership,
and then we will analyze them for their strengths
and weaknesses in specific situations.
Some of you are probably already familiar with theories
of leadership or have personal examples
of when you have served as a leader in your own lives,
careers, peer groups, and I encourage you to share them
on the discussion board this week.
One of the key learning goals for this week is to understand
how to select and tailor appropriate leadership strategies
for specific situations.
To that end, after presenting general theories
of leadership, I have given some applied examples
of using those theories in actual leadership scenarios.
Feel free to post other examples
on the discussion board this week.
You also, as you know, have some readings
and videos to watch.
There are not as many learning materials this week
as other weeks because I wanted to give you all the time
to work on your literature reviews
for the final paper assignment.
This is a lengthy assignment,
so be sure to get started early.
You can find the rubric
and description of the assignment in Brightspace
and on the syllabus.
Please pay special attention
to the specific components I'm asking for
from each paper you choose to include
in the literature review.
This will hopefully be a very helpful assignment
for the crafting and the research of your final paper.
In addition to the literature review, you have a quiz
and a discussion on "Yellow Day."
For the discussion, you have only one option this week,
but you have wide latitude with that discussion.
I'm very much looking forward
to seeing what creative ideas you all come up with.
As always, feel free to reach out
with any questions or concerns.
I hope that you all have a great week.
