Assignment Task 3:
Post 1: Using what you have read this week, reflect on and answer the following questions in 150 words. You will use the provided links in Week 1 and your research from the institution databases (noGoogle, Bing, etc searches) to define leadership. You will include this research at the bottom of your initial post, in MLA format, to avoid plagiarism.
This week, you learned about critical thinking and how it impacts your leadership style. You also continued to explore Authentic Servant Leadership
This week, you will read and consider a real-life situation. You are to discuss the scenario based on the leadership theories/styles/characteristics, including Authentic Servant Leadership, Critical Thinking, and Metacognition.
Scenario:
One of your male peers, Thomas, consistently challenges the information presented in the class, the professor, and the students who disagree with him. Challenging the information is not the problem as professors hope that students will consider the quality, source, and credibility of information (e.g., CRAPP test that you reviewed from last and this week). The problem is Thomas' outspoken intolerance of others' ideas and opinions; he does not demonstrate civility.
This is only the third week in the term, but the professor has become increasingly concerned because of the decrease in student participation. While students are not openly complaining, the professor suspects that students are hesitant to share their thoughts due to Thomas' comments. For example, during a discussion about how females typically earn less money than their male co-workers, Thomas remarked that women deserve lower pay because "Women simply don't behave in an authoritative manner. Sometimes they whine and complain, unlike their male co-workers. Many also do not have the same physical capabilities (e.g., strength) as their male co-workers. These are a few reasons why women don't get paid the same as males." Several of the younger female students have not responded to Thomas and in fact, have not fully interacted in the class discussions ever since that class lesson.
The professor wants to address the problem of rude, disrespectful students. What should she change in how she manages the classroom to promote civility and Authentic Servant Leadership? Based on the leadership styles that we have covered, what should she say to Thomas? Continuing, how should the other students handle the class discussions to remain civil? Finally, the next time she teaches the course, what are some items that she should consider changing or adding to her syllabus?
