Actions and Behaviors of Effective Leadership

Question

Description please follow the attached instructions and grading rubric UNIT 2: Actions and Behaviors of Effective Leadership Unit 2: Written Report (3-4 pages) A review of the literature suggests how certain actions and behaviors are related to effective leadership. The basic argument is that leadership is not about what one possesses or has in terms of traits or characteristics. Rather, it is about what one does with what one has, in the form of actions taken or behaviors displayed. In addition, these actions or behaviors cannot be for personal or selfish reasons, but for the common good of followers or a larger group. From your readings of the literature (including textbooks, articles, and other course materials), personal understanding, and professional experience, you are required to respond to the following four topics. 1. Identify specific behaviors that are associated with the traits and characteristics of effective leadership. 2. Please comment on how these behaviors are demonstrated by effective leaders in both complex and simple organizations. Also, please provide detail on specific behaviors that are exhibited. Hint: I always enjoy reading personal experiences because it tells me you are able to apply what you have learned. Write a 3-4 page essay addressing the two topics listed above. Provide informed explanations, analyses, and evaluations for your answers. Use robust, properly cited sources to support your evaluation. Always follow APA format to include appropriate in text citations, a reference sheet (please review format for APA references), Times New Roman 12 pt. font and a cover page. Three robust outside references is the minimum requirement to support your content. Most superior papers have six or more.
