Reaserch outline and reaserch paper
My research idea:
One of the most interested ideas to me is (Healthier Communities) it's an important idea to write about especially now a days. A healthy community is defined by the ability of it's people to undertake their daily activities without diseases. And a healthy community attract outsiders like tourists. There are social and cultural factors like tradition, politics, beliefs, socioeconomic status, social norms and the economy. I will get into each one of these in details in my research paper.
Instructor response to my topic idea:
This is too general of an idea, if you want to write about the cultural impact on health care in a society, fine, however you need to narrow down your focus to be about one particular group of people (e.g. the impact of culture on the health of Korean s or Saudies or Americans...)
My research topic:
My research topic would be "Healthier communities" Having a healthy community
depends on the people living in it. My idea of a healthy community is where people are free
from mental and physical problems. People have the opportunity to live to their full
potentials. A healthy community is defined by the ability of its people to undertake their daily
activities without diseases or pain.
Instructor response to my research topic:
I guess i may have mentioned this before, you need to focus your topic; after all you are not writing a book; maybe you can take one aspect of health and discuss how culture impacts that.
Instruction for Outline:
This is the skeleton of your paper/project (even with a video project there should be a script/plan) . The outline could be a bullet-point structure and should include a title, introduction: presenting main argument and some background information; Body: bullet points of what and how you will introduce and develop your topic; then a Conclusion: as well bullet point structure of what will go in this section. Please include in each section the main references that you will use for each main point. A reference page of the potential/preliminary references you will be using should be included.

Creating a Personal Model of Leadership
Instructions
You will create a personal model of leadership based on your
research and reflections on what you learn throughout this
3. course.
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.
4. 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. Values that guide you from an individual or “I” perspective.
b. Values that guide you from an interpersonal perspective.
c. Values that guide you from an organizational perspective.
d. 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 the
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 two
parts involved in creating your personal model of leadership are
as follows:
Part 1: 9(COMPLETE) INSTUCTORS FEED BACK:
Great personal model of leadership and good use of reliable
sources to back up these leadership behaviors and values.
Before using this Part 1 to complete Part 2 during Week 8,
please, do the following, (a) see the report and complete the
5. corrections that would apply and (2) introduce in-text citations
more often and earlier in the paper. Keep up the good work!
Part 2:
Reflect on each of the following questions and address them in
your personal model of leadership:
1. How could your personal values and personal model of
servant leadership influence individual and group behavior?
2. How could your personal values and personal model of
servant leadership positively influence organizations and
society?
3. How do servant leadership principles in accordance with the
Christian worldview, interact with essential management
practices and how does servant leadership influence individual,
group, and organizational behavior?

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
6. 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.

Introduction
The focus is on four levels or perspectives including personal,
interpersonal, organizational and societal. Each of these
perspectives has an accompanying value including: courageous,
loyal, ambitious, and helpful respectively. Each of the values
and perspectives generates specific leadership behaviors that
help build my model of leadership.
Personal level
The personal level which inspires the value of being
courageous. The value of being courageous inspires the
behavior of pursuing opportunities and facing challenges. This
has opened me up to interact with people and organizations
from all walks of life and has helped to generate a personal
philosophy. Thus, as a leader at a personal level, I need to be
able to look into great opportunities such as those of career
development and grow my skills, knowledge, and connections. I
am also keen on working with my team in developing goals and
achieving outcomes for the group. One way to do this is to offer
constant feedback and constructive criticism on how they are
11. handling their delegated tasks. This will ensure we do not
become complacent in pursuing opportunities. Also, I plan to
face issues head-on and perceive them as additional
opportunities. For instance, I plan to deal with any arising
conflicts in my team and view it as a chance to develop a
training program on conflict resolution and effective
communication.
Interpersonal
At this level, I place the value of loyalty as my highest
priority. The behaviors that I inculcate include promoting and
protecting the interests of those that rely on me. As a leader, my
team depends on me to guide them and help them grow and face
any challenges. This implies that I cannot pursue private
interests or the interests of others outside my team. One way to
attain this is always communicated on any changes and their
impacts on my team. For instance, as difficult as it is I will be
open about any restructuring in the organization that can lead to
layoffs. This will ensure that my team can find solutions faster
to protect themselves from the worst impacts. I also want to
create an environment that values the relationships between
team members and management. I want my team members to
feel like a family rather than just mere employees. This includes
offering validation, moral support, and prohibiting any
discriminatory actions.
Organizational
I value being an ambitious leader because it will push me
to be visionary and help grow my team’s success. I always aim
at encouraging my team to achieve great goals that push them
beyond their comfort zone. Thus, as a leader, I want to
encourage myself and my team to pursue those rare
opportunities, although high risk, to generate very high returns
and outcomes in the long term. An example is implementing
top-notch technologies that require heavy investment into the
organizational structure. This improves the chances of attaining
12. a high ROI in terms of minimizing overhead costs and
automating the workflow processes. Success ties into always
pursuing information, education, and learning (Campbell, 2016).
Secondly, I am committed to setting and implementing
high-performance metrics within my team. This will inspire a
culture of high performance and attaining goals set for the year
regardless of risks. One of the actions can include merging or
acquiring another company to expand our interests in a newer
market. While this can very risky, it is important to work with
my team to attain the set goals and anticipate even greater
returns. Thirdly, I want to inculcate trust and commitment
among team members. This is in terms of equipping them with
vital resources and allowing them the freedom to innovate and
create solutions that enhance the financial and social capital of
the organization.
Societal
At the societal level, I value being helpful because it
involves a bigger group of people aiming at a common good. I
currently volunteer in helping less fortunate children to gain
access to education through contributing to a kitty fund and
other materials such as books. This has helped me appreciate
how a combined effort can generate the greatest positive
impacts. Community leadership succeeds from social networks,
shared vision and decision making (Martiskainen, 2015). Thus,
as a leader I want my vision and actions to positively impact not
just my team members but my community. One of the behaviors
I aspire to display is to commit to the personal development of
my team members. This can include creating a training program
that equips them with critical leadership skills. These team
members are sourced from the community and offering them the
opportunity and work and earn from the organization.
Secondly, I also want to use my leadership influence to
mobilize all stakeholders to promote a cause such as the one for
education. This involves requesting any contributions such as
resources and funds to help those in need to attain their dreams
13. and goals and be empowered. Thirdly, I also want to integrate
servant leadership where I commit myself as the defender of
their interests and concerns and protecting them from
exploitation. As a leader, I am in a better position to effect such
positive changes like promoting social justice causes.

Rokeach Value Survey
On the following two pages are two lists of values, each in
alphabetical order. Each value is accompanied by a short
description and a blank space. Your goal is to rank each value
in its order of importance to you for each of the two lists. Study
each list and think of how much each value may act as a guiding
principle in your life.
To begin, select the value that is of most importance to you.
Write the number 1 in the blank space next to that value. Next,
choose the value is of second in importance to you and write the
number 2 in the blank next to it. Work your way through the list
until you have ranked all 18 values on this page. The value that
is of least importance to you should appear in Box 18.
When you have finished ranking all 18 values, turn the page and
rank the next 18 values in the same way. Please do each page
separately.
When ranking, take your time and think carefully. Feel free to
go back and change your order should you have second thoughts
14. about any of your answers. When you have completed the
ranking of both sets of values, the result should represent an
accurate picture of how you really feel about what’s important
in your life.

Reflection
In an effort to determine my personal model of leadership, I
undertook the Rokeach Values Survey assessment. Key terminal
and instrumental values were then ranked in their order of
significance. These values were essential in determining my
personal model of leadership. Terminal values, also referred to
as ends-oriented values, prescribe desirable ends or goals for an
individual and represent what a person ultimately strives to
attain. Terminal values may include personal or social values
(Tuulik et al., 2016). According to the Rokeach Values Survey
results, the three most important terminal values that I possess
include social recognition, clean, as well as pleasure-seeking.
As a leader, I clamor for social recognition through respect and
admiration. In particular, I hold the view that promoting peer-
to-peer recognition is an essential element of a successful
employee engagement initiative. I also believe that the practice
of celebrating success by recognizing people’s performance
improves others’ performance in the contemporary workplace.
Apart from social recognition, the results showed that I admire
cleanliness and pleasure. I believe that a clean, neat and tidy
workplace provides a supportive environment for employee
performance and productivity. A good working condition should
include a clean environment where people can breathe fresh air
21. and tidy. I also believe that observing general body cleanliness
and neatness goes a long way in increasing other people’s
confidence in a leader. As such, I like placing much emphases
on general body cleanliness. Finally, being a social animal, I am
a pleasure seeker. The clamor for pleasure can motivate me to
follow the right course of action.
Instrumental values, also referred to as means-oriented values,
prescribe desirable standards of behaviors or approaches for
reaching an end. As such, instrumental values are a set of
beliefs regarding the types of behaviors that are appropriate for
reaching the desired goals (Tereshchenko et al., 2016The
Rokeach Values Survey results indicated that my three leading
instrumental findings included: self-control, politeness, as well
as being responsible. As a leader, I often exercise self-control
by exercising restrain and self-discipline in all the decisions
that I make. To my, self-control is the foundation of leadership
since leading others first requires the ability to lead and control
oneself. Self-control provides me with the opportunity to
deliberate on an important issue before making any decision.
Self-control is a critical character trait that all leaders with
responsibilities should possess (Tereshchenko et al., 2016).
However, I also believe that self-control rarely shows up on any
list of the most important traits that constitute a good leader.
My ability to exercise self-control improves my level of
emotional intelligence. Although many people overlook the
significance of self-control, I value it because it can enable me
to control negative emotions such as anger. Further, the results
indicated that I am a polite person. In all my interactions with
peers and followers, I often try as much as possible to exercise
courtesy and good manners. Finally, I am a responsible
individual because I can always be counted on to accomplish
specified tasks and responsibilities.
