Assignment 1: Personal Best Leadership Experience
Introduction
Experience is the best teacher. This is true in many aspects of our lives and is especially true of leadership. Each of us has had leadership experiences. This activity is designed to help you focus on your own personal best leadership experience. This is essentially like writing a case study about your own experience, one that you can use as part of your personal story. If done properly, this should take you about an hour to complete.
Important:
If you do not cite AI assistance, you will receive a zero for the assignment. However, you can revise and resubmit for full credit.
Instructions
Think of a time when you performed at your best as a leader. A personal best experience may be an event or a series of events that you believe to be your own individual standard of excellence. Think of a time when you achieved significant success while working with others, something you accomplished and were proud of the results.
The personal best experience can be any undertaking with a clear beginning and end. You may have had a formal leadership position or may have emerged as an informal leader. You may have worked with any social group or business organization on a class project or even on a family event. The event could be recent or old and could have lasted a few days, weeks, months, or even a year.
Directions
Use an AI tool to help you brainstorm, organize, and edit your report. The AI will guide you through a series of questions to help develop your personal best leadership experience. Examples of AI tools you can use are provided at the bottom. Copy and paste the prompt provided below to interact with the AI.
AI Assistance Prompt:”I need help with an assignment for my MBA Leadership class. Please do not provide original thoughts. Instead, help me clarify and expand on my ideas. Here’s the assignment question: ‘Describe a personal best leadership experience you have had, including the actions you took, the lessons you learned, and advice for others.’First, ask me to describe what happened in the leadership experience. Use the following questions to guide me one at a time:Describe what happened.
When did it happen?
How long did it last?
What was your role?
Who else was involved?
What feelings did you have prior to and during the experience?
Did you initiate the experience or did someone else?
How did you emerge as a leader?
What were the results of the experience?
After I answer, ask me the following follow-up questions one at a time:What actions did you take?
How did you get others to go beyond ordinary levels of performance?
How did you demonstrate your commitment to the project or undertaking?
How did you ensure everyone understood the purpose or goal?
How did you overcome major challenges or setbacks?
How did you engage others and get them to participate fully?
What extraordinary actions did your group members take based on what you did or said?
Then, review my responses and suggest three to five major leadership lessons from my experience. Ask me if those lessons are relevant and if I agree with them. If I offer additional lessons or want to change some, enter an iterative process of asking me what the lessons are and use those lessons.Finally, ask me:Based on the lessons drawn from your experience, formulate a single piece of advice you would offer to someone who wanted to make a difference in their organization.
Once I have answered all the questions, please help me organize my responses into a cohesive report with three sections: the leadership experience (as a narrative), the leadership lessons, and the advice. Ensure it is clear, professional, and well-structured.”
Upload the cohesive result generated after answering the AI’s questions in a Word document by Day 7 of this week. Your report should clearly describe your leadership experience, the actions you took, the lessons you learned, and the advice you would offer to others.
The basic criterion for a report to be considered effective is that your message must be original and intelligible. You must communicate concisely and effectively. In addition, you must meet the weekly requirements for full credit on assignments.
Citing AI in Your Assignment:Include the in-text citation in your report to acknowledge the use of AI assistance.
Add the reference list citation at the end of your report.
