General Guideline:
When you're writing a reflective essay, it's vitally important you spend time
discussing your personal experience to lay a strong foundation for the analysis to
come. While the research you're conducting is important, you need to make sure it
goes beyond textbooks and into the real world. You need to make sure you're
reading through the assignment brief and addressing all the required elements, not
just the theoretical ones and not just at a surface level. Remember, reflecting on
personal experiences in the context of theoretical frameworks enriches your
analysis and demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of leadership concepts.
Continuously seek to link theory with practice, as this will not only fulfill the
assignment criteria but also provide valuable insights for your personal leadership
development. Without that practice, the theories discussed offer little value to your
audience.
Use IT Industry as personal experience.
Topic
Prepare an academic analysis (3,000 words) answering the question, "Why is
'character' central to
contemporary leadership practices?”
Paper that is written from the perspective of the answer of the opinion that you are
supporting, but not necessarily the fact that you are the one that has that opinion. Use Third person throughout when answering this question, except in #5
Sections to Consider
1) Introduction
Introduce the topic of your analysis and include a sentence designed to capture
your reader's attention.
b. Include any important details or descriptions that provide a background or
specific details relating to your analysis.
c. Write a thesis statement that conveys your point of view on your analysis
topic.
2) Character-Driven Leadership Comparisons
a. Contrast the narcissistic and hubris leadership tendencies with the more
'character' driven leadership models.
Think about narcissism, hubris and other mentalities that might put the leader's
opinion and the leaders perspectives ahead of those that the leader is trying to
lead.
Think about what are the ways that different forms of character driven leadership
manifest themselves?
What are some examples that you can potentially point to that you can say these
are some of the tendencies and we can see them across these different examples,
and we can see these different mini case studies that say look these are some
characteristics the we see across this type of leader, those of course characteristics
can be positive, negative.
3) Gaps in Leadership Practices
a. Evaluate the challenges and problems arising from the gaps between popular
images of leadership and everyday leadership practice.
Challenges and problems that are arising because of these gaps between how
leadership might be viewed popularly, especially on places like LinkedIn and stuff
like that and what leadership looks like every day in the trenches.
what really separates the idea of leader from the reality of leader?
Keep in third person view throughout.
4) Reflective Leadership Approach
a. Analyze how the 'critically reflective' leadership capability approach might
meet all stakeholders' contemporary needs, including the organization itself.
Keep in third person view throughout.
How critically reflective leadership might meet all potential needs of
contemporary stakeholders.
Think about what is hitting on the correct points, what may not be hitting on the
points.
Think about comparing and linking back to practice and comparison.
5) Reflective Leadership Practice
a. Recommend how the 'critically reflective' leadership approach would be
valuable to adopt in your organization. b. Drawing on 'tactics', plan how you might implement reflective leadership
processes within your organization. Contrast this approach with the traditional
strategic leadership model.
Think about how the leadership practices could potentially be adopted in your
organization.
Think about the implementation phase, like understanding what it is and what it
will take to get that approach put into the day-to-day work at your organization and
to have it done in the most seamless and effective way possible.
Think about Tactical aspect of leadership and implementation.
Try to do contrasting between two different models of leadership and to
demonstrate how they would apply in your organization.
Take critically reflective approach and then compare and contrast it to the
traditional strategic approach in regard to your specific organization and see how it
is that would play a role in your firm.
Use First Person speaking.
6) Conclusion (2 paragraph or so)
a. Restate your thesis statement.

Student note :
I want to highlight from brief that there is ask to relate the theory to personal
experience, If that is very critical if that is missing then one would not pass.
For the personal experience - I don't have practical experience, instructor suggested
to make one up or imagine, and i am in IT field (make one up) - should look real
They want to check how can a student apply the learning to actual practice
