Before moving on to Week $2,$ I would like you to take a moment and review the various aspects of leadership discussed thus far. In the videos, reading, and the questionnaire you completed there were several aspects of leadership highlighted. In our opening discussion you noted someone you admire that has$/$had great leadership qualities, so you may want to start creating your definition by analyzing what characteristics that person demonstrated. After reviewing your notes on all the aspects related to leadership addressed thus far please use the template to develop your personal working definition of leadership.

As cited in our text, Rost $(1991)$ noted that there are over $100$ definitions of leadership across academic literature. We have addressed several components of leadership, and there are a variety of terms used to refer to particular leadership styles. Now you will review these and build a personal working definition of leadership. As this is just the start of our course together, I hope you will refine your definition as we learn more about the topics, and you learn from each other in our discussions.

List at least two leadership concepts that you feel are most important or most appealing to you, and what about each concept you find appealing. $(10$ points for at least two concepts and description of why appealing$).$

Reflect on the leader you described in our discussion and provide an example of his or her skills to show which leadership aspects were demonstrated by this person. $(10$ points for alignment of the example with the leadership aspect demonstrated$).$

Share which aspects of leadership you feel you use most often when you act in a leadership role. Include at least two aspects. $(10$ points$).$

In at least two to three sentences, share your working definition of leadership and why you think this definition is best as you plan to grow your leadership skills. $(20$ points$).$
