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.)

SLP Assignment Expectations
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
