Discussion Chapter 5

Q For each chapter you must create 2 discussion board posts: (1) Your own take on the reading. Write this post after you have read the assigned textbook chapter and (when the case) completed the other class activities. Option A. Make one or two well-thought points to demonstrate your critical reading of the chapter assigned for this week. These posts can take the form of questions that you debate with yourself (I wonder if/why... Could this be...), comments, or points of contention (I am not sure I agree with... I don't see why it is useful to consider leadership in this way...). Feel free and encouraged to use examples and anecdotes from real life to make your point (your own leadership experiences – situations when you were a leader or when you experienced someone else's leadership). Fictional situations from movies/TV series are also acceptable and appreciated. Hypothetical examples work well too. While relatively brief, these posts should be clearly written and logically organized. Don't convey an opinion but construct an argument. Option B. Alternatively, this could be a deep self-reflection in relation to the reading. If you choose this option, consider the following questions: What did I learn? What insights did I gain? How has my thinking been changed? What do I think about where I am and what I have learned? What will I do differently in the future? What new role/actions do I plan to try/take? Use examples and anecdotes from your experience to make your point (your own leadership experiences – situations when you were a leader or when you experienced someone else's leadership). These posts should be at least 250 words. (2) A reaction to one of your peers' posts (a peer response). Choose one of your peers' posts and write a paragraph as a response to / reflection on his or her comments.

The concerned chapter deals with the Leadership and Power that leaders possess and how he uses to change the lives of his followers. On very interesting concept has been added in the chapter that tells us that Power can exist without Leadership but Leadership cannot exist without power. Though each of them is independent concepts when it comes to influencing a group of individuals the latter becomes conducive to the former. In order to become a successful leader, there are some common factors that may not sound as common they are but play an important role in determining responsibilities and job roles (Hackman & Johnson, 2019).
