Personal Model of Leadership
-InstructionsThroughout this course, you will create a personal model of leadership based on your research and
reflections on what you learn during the 15 weeks.
What is a personal model of leadership?
Leadership is an important dimension of personal growth and development. Developing leadership
qualities is a complex process that involves much more than simply selecting an appealing leadership
model or participating in leadership training. Creating a satisfying personal model of leadership, which
reflects one’s values and beliefs and impacts how one affects organizations, communities, and society, is
a lifelong process.
What approach should I take to complete my personal leadership model?
Building a personal leadership model can be approached from both a systematic and holistic
perspective. It also requires creativity, passion, and a framework that leaders can use as they explore
various models of leadership over their lifetimes. The process of creating a personal model involves
continuously exploring and analyzing various leadership models. You will find certain elements of these
models appealing and might choose to integrate them into your own model. Others you will not want to
include. It is important to weigh the elements against your own system of values and beliefs and select
the ones that will most enrich your own model and the lives of those whom you lead.
What do I use to develop my personal model of leadership?
As you explore various leadership models, utilize the table provided below to breakdown, select, and
record their appealing elements. You will complete the table as you move through the process of
developing your leadership model throughout the course. This table will serve as a starting point or
outline as you think through your personal model of leadership and write your paper.
How do I develop my personal model of leadership?
Creating a leadership model involves the following:
1. Select the basic values that will provide the foundation and identify the leadership behaviors
that will result from those values. As you select values for your own model, link each one you
choose to one of these following four perspectives:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Values that guide you from an individual or “I” perspective.
Values that guide you from an interpersonal perspective.
Values that guide you from an organizational perspective.
Values that guide you from a societal perspective.
2. Identify a clear approach for creating a sense of meaning and purpose, including contributing to
society. You will consider why the values you selected are meaningful and how you can utilize

them to contribute to the greater good. Also, identify the impact of one’s contributions to self,
others, organizations, and society. You will consider how the behaviors that result from your
foundation of values impact the world around you in a positive and meaningful way.
Two Parts to Creating Your Personal Model of Leadership
You will write your personal model of leadership in two parts. You will submit Part 1 in Topic 5 and
receive feedback from your instructor. You will write Part 2 in Topic 8 and combine it with Part 1 and
your instructor feedback to create one integrated personal model of leadership (1,250-1,500 words).
The 2 parts involved in creating your personal model of leadership are as follows:
Part 1:
Select the basic values that will provide the foundation of your model and discuss the leadership
behaviors that will result from those values. Be sure to select values from each of the following four
levels: individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal. You will complete the “Rokeach Values
Survey” to assist you in selecting your values.
Part 2:
Identify how your personal model of leadership helps you to create a sense of meaning and purpose for
yourself, others, organizations, and society. Then, identify the impact of your contributions to self,
others, organizations, and society.

Is there an example that I may follow to craft my leadership model?
Below are definitions and an example you can follow as you use the provided table to think through and
develop your own personal model of leadership.
Definitions
Values and beliefs: A value or belief describes something that is important to you. It fits into the
sentence: “I value…” Examples include integrity, respect, trust, high performance, making an impact,
and a clean environment.

Behaviors and action: A behavior describes the visible actions that demonstrate (or are based on) a
value. For example, if you believe in “trust” as a value, then the behavior may be, “I always keep private
information shared with me in confidence to myself.”
Clear approach for creating meaning and purpose: This is the sense of meaning or purpose that you
focus on based on your values. So if you value protecting the environment, you might outline your
approach for contributing to an organization that protects wildlife.
Impact: Impact is attaining positive results or improvements in your area of focus. So if you are working
in a wildlife organization, it could be saving the lives of wildlife or protecting a particular ecosystem.
