This week you will receive full points for your individual point of view and will NOT be responding to anyone else’s post. You are welcome to read your group members responses but you will not need to respond at all. Read/Listen to the Ted Talk What it Takes to be a Great Leader. Below are several questions within each question – be sure to read each question and answer each question completely. This is probably the easiest Pilot assignment you will have – be thorough in your response to receive full points.
After you’ve read the transcript or listened to the video/audio it (or did both) answer the following questions:
1. Roseline Torres asks several questions toward the end of her talk. What do you think she meant by the question “What is the diversity measure of your personal and professional stakeholder network”? Listen clearly to what she is saying when you respond.
2. Name a leader (or organization) who has followed the expression “go along to get along”. How has that had an impact on their professional career or livelihood of the organization. Hindsight is always 20/20 – after you have identified a leader or organization what could they have done differently to potentially change their path? I will give you an example – Kodak is one of the oldest film producing companies – what has happened to Kodak? How are they changing (or not changing)? What have their leaders done to have an impact on the change that happened when film went digital? (You are welcome to delve into this question or find a leader/organization of your own).
3. Name a leader (or organization) who has completely changed the business model of doing things the way it has always been done? What did they do different? How comfortable would you be in taking risks of doing something radically different knowing there is a chance you could flop?
4. Each of you will be going out into the workforce in a professional career soon – what is the most important leadership lesson you have learned through your organizational leadership courses (you can list more than one, but at least one). This question doesn’t require names of professors, classmates, group members, etc.
