Discussion Board Assignment #1
Characteristics of Good Leaders
Submission Instructions:
Due Date: Last day of the current learning module.
Points Possible: 30 points
Mode of Submission: Assignment must be submitted through the course discussion board.
Instructions:
Since its earliest origins, the empirical study of leadership has focused on trying to identify
the factors that set good leaders apart from others. The idea is that through identifying these
differences organizations will become better able to hire or promote only those individuals who
possess the characteristics necessary to excel in key leadership positions. Ultimately, the
underlying idea of such research is that it will help improve the overall efficacy of organizations
and help facilitate the achievement of key organizational objectives. Research of this nature has
tended to follow several broad trends in looking at the characteristics of leaders, the actions that
leaders take, and the context in which leadership occurs. Individually, none of these different
avenues of research has provided the clear and definitive understanding of leaders and leadership
that researchers and organizations had hoped for. With this being said, there is little doubt that
we know more about leaders today than we did several decades ago. It is also likely that we can
build upon the existing base of knowledge that exists pertaining to leadership and leaders so that
our understanding will only further increase in the future.
For this discussion forum assignment, you will need to look at the Sashkin and Goleman
readings in your “Contemporary Issues in Leadership” textbook. A number of different methods
for better understanding successful leadership characteristics have been advanced by researchers.
For example, Sashkin discussed behaviors associated with transformational leadership, while
Goleman discusses the components of emotional intelligence. For this discussion forum
assignment, you will be required to compare and contrast each of these different ideas in an
attempt to improve your appreciation for the foundational aspects of leadership theory. Make
sure to include an overview of the following items in the primary response that you submit to the
discussion forum. What commonalities do you note between the transformational leadership
behaviors that are examined and the components of emotional intelligence? Why are these
similarities important to your understanding of the two concepts collectively? What differences
do you note between transformational leadership behaviors and the components of emotional
intelligence? Why are these differences important to you understanding of the limitations of
each idea? Which of the ideas do you think is better aligned with and more accurately depicts
your individual leadership style and the approach you advocate for effective leadership and why
is this the case? Which is better aligned with the needs of contemporary criminal justice
agencies and why is this the case?
