This week you’ve just learned that you have been newly hired - or promoted from within - into a management role where you will need to lead an established team that you’ve never met before. From their perspective, this team doesn’t know anything about you as a leader (other than basic resume background info from your introductory bio that has already been shared with them). On Monday, it has been scheduled that you will introduce yourself to your new subordinate team for the first time. There may be operational issues you will need to cover in the first hour with them, but what will you say in the first 2 minutes, as a new leader, that will capture their attention and excite them to listen to you for the next 58 minutes? 

ASSIGNMENT CONTENT:

Though different, these scenarios share a common ingredient; key constituents seeking to gain an understanding of, and confidence in, how you will self-actualize and frame your leadership role. Successful leadership is all about effective, compelling communication and it starts with your articulation of that role. 

In this assignment, you are required to prepare a leadership ‘point-of-view’ “speech”. Designed to be effectively delivered verbally in about 2 minutes, it must not be longer than 500 words. It must clearly communicate why EITHER (Scenario 1) an organization should hire /promote you to a new leadership role OR (Scenario 2) why employees should feel confident in the leadership approach you will take with their team. You will want to take clear aim on whichever leadership behaviors (that we will explore in detail during the first 4 classes) you feel best represent your authentic style. In short, what can you say that would make you stand out against any other candidate or as someone people will want to follow? plz choose participative leadership on scenario.
