Module 3 – SLP
LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP
Most of what is written about leadership has been written by
western scholars and practitioners—mostly from the United States. Thus, what we
have studied in this module so far reflects western assumptions and values
about how to improve leadership performance.
But leadership quality, we know, is mostly about perception. If
the followers perceive that a person is a leader, that person will be treated
with respect and the followers will grant him the power and authority to guide
their actions. These perceptions can vary across cultures, and successful global
leaders know that leadership is viewed differently in different cultures and
modify their behaviors to align with culturally diverse expectations. This is
what is called Cultural Intelligence.
(If this is a topic that particularly interests you and you
would like to increase your capacity for cultural intelligence, you are
encouraged to enroll in LED520: Cross-Cultural Communication and Leadership.
This course can serve as an elective in several degree programs.)
Required Reading

that looks interesting to you.
After completing the quizzes, address the following questions in
a 2- to 3-page essay:
Which quizzes did you take?
Include your actual results in an Appendix at the end of your
paper.
Were you surprised at your score?
What strengths do you think you have in the area of
inter-cultural awareness?
What weaknesses are you able to identify?
If there were gaps between your assessment results and your own
thoughts about your level of cultural awareness, why do these gaps exist?
Create a plan of specific, concrete actions you can take to
build on your strengths and improve areas of weakness so that you improve your
cultural awareness.
Why is it important for managers to increase their levels of
cultural awareness?
Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in the
SLP rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:
Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully
address all aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately
and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length
requirements?
Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate
graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources,
expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized
in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the
topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well
organized and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary
appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are
paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is
justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct
quotations?
Effective Use of Information: Does the
submission demonstrate that the student has read, understood and can apply the
background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated
effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality
(library?) sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions
drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student
demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper
citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all
sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment
readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited?
Have all sources cited in the paper been included on the References page?
Timeliness: Has the assignment been
submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system) on or before the
module’s due date?
