TASKS AND RELATIONSHIPS
Description: We will explore traits and their relationship to leadership, including describing and
discussing eight historical leaders and their traits. Using historical examples, this exercise will
illustrate the role traits play in leadership performance through an in-depth exploration of the
traits and characteristics of a single, well-known leader.
Objectives:

To recognize the unique traits of selected historical leaders

To explore the similarities and differences of these leaders and their traits
Directions:
1) As a team, choose a historical leader.
2) Develop a creative and engaging 3-5-minute presentation discussing this historical leader and
their leadership traits. Each group will share its presentation after lunch
3) In preparing this presentation, consider including PowerPoint slides, YouTube videos, movie
clips, lecture, role-play, or other presentational methods that are compatible with the technology
available in the classroom.
4) Allow time following the presentation for a 5-10 minute question-and-answer session.
5) After all the teams present, there will be a discussion of the similarities and differences in traits
of the different leaders and how traits play a role in effective leadership?

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
Description: This discussion is about how leaders can help followers overcome obstacles for
effective performance. Leaders must first establish what is causing the obstacles and then
determine ways to help resolve these challenges.
Overcoming Obstacles
You are the Chief Executive Officer of your institution and you would like to address the problems
around technology. To this end, you would like to organize a committee that will work with you to
set up at five year technology plan for the campus. You would like to include representatives from
all constituents to this committee. Draft an email that you will send out to the campus inviting
committee members. Consider the following aspects that should be included in your email:
Purpose of the committee in relation to institutional vision or strategic plan
Number of committee members
Process for nominating committee members
Number and duration of meetings throughout the year
Level of commitment from committee members
Post a copy of it on your site
Work in groups to finalize the email and send it to all the Institute participants.
Create a space on your site and post the relevant information including the agenda for the first
meeting.
Shah, A. M. (2005). The foundations of successful strategy implementation: Overcoming the
obstacles. Global Business Review, 6, 293-302. This article spells out the factors that promote
successful implementation of management initiatives.
1. Why is strategy implementation “the most complicated and time-consuming part of
strategic management”?
2. How do the top seven major obstacles identified in this article compare to the seven
obstacles addressed in chapter 10 of our textbook? What new obstacles are identified?
3. Some of the identified obstacles are not completely within a manager’s control (e.g. getting
commitment from top managers). What can a manager, then, reasonably do to implement
company initiatives?
4. Thinking about your place of employment, or your school, how can information systems
better “link people efficiently and make them do their job together instead of performing
with indirect linkages”?

ETHICS
After reading the information below, analyze the ethics of a decision that was made in your
institution.
Post your response here
When the ethics of critique, justice, and care are joined with an ethic of inclusive discourse,
educational administrators have a model of ethical decision-making. Traditional educational
discourse frequently favors the principle of benefit maximization (the greatest good for the greatest
number) at the expense of the principle of equal respect (people being treated as equals rather than
means).
With a decision-making model that rests on ethics and inclusive discourse, equal respect becomes
primary, she said, listing some questions in ethical decision-making:
Under the ethic of critique
- Who benefits from the outcome? – Are the demands on the university too great? – If benefit
accrues to the university, who in it benefits?
Under the ethic of justice
- Who suffers from the outcome? – Are demands on the individual too great? – If benefit accrues to
the individual, what happens to the group?
Under the ethic of care
- What happens to relationships? – Are relational demands being met? – How does the decision
weaken or strengthen relationships?
Under the ethic of discourse
- Who is excluded from the decision? – Are discourse demands met? – Is the quality of the discourse
changed? – Is the quality of the decisions changed?

IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF PROBLEM AREAS AND ISSUES
The Summer Leadership Institute was attended by representative faculty members from a variety
of departments. The faculty attending this training including a majority of junior faculty. One
suggestion was to include more senior faculty and administrators in such trainings to ensure the
support of innovation and engagement on a campus-wide level.
The logistics and location were generally well planned; however, sporadic power failures and
internet breakdowns hindered a flow of discussions and portfolio creations.
Some suggestions for improvement on the campus include:
COMMUNICATION


Better communication skills and regular meetings
Administration should play an active role in getting the feedback, suggestion and problems
(if any) from the faculty.
GUIDELINES



Clear cut norms for faculty as well as for students should be developed and make clear to all
Various administrative committees should be constituted to engage every faculty members
without any discrimination.
Implementation of already existing rules
SUPPORT




There should be a counseling center in the department
We can resolve the issues regarding students by changing our teaching strategies(fair
division of sessional marks, by creating liaison with students) and if a complaint is received
a fair inquiry should be conducted
Some mechanism should be developed to judge the scripts as well as assignments and
projects.
A center to be established where conflicts are reported which may try to resolve the issues
after investigating the matters
DATA-INFORMED DECISION MAKING




A data base should be generated at university level which gathers the information of
conflicts for all the categories stated above.
Merit based promotions
Explicit rules and merit criteria should be developed and followed even for minor rewards.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Workshop for management skills
Training regarding objective assessment and evaluation of teachers and students
Professional training/guidelines for each management task e.g., DSAs, Program

I hope that these two weeks will help me to learn about and analyse the characteristics of a
leader. Although, I don’t hope to be a perfect leader at the end of two weeks, but at least
want to begin the process to know and bring out the capabilities in me that would help me
improve working environment, build relationships and lead the students and support staff
to a productive outcome.
Professional skills to comprehend different issues in administration and academics.
Hope to learn some skills to organize some innovative ideas and how to convert those ideas
into reality. how to connect the globalized world of ideas and innovations and determine my
place in this world
I hope to get some good teaching strategies and technology to equip myself with clear vision
to utilize them in my teaching-learning experience. As it might help me to play the role of
teacher-leader: to impart knowledge and forethought of it, to organize and motivate myself
and the students, to be flexible in approach and to be responsible and evoke the sense of
responsibility among my learners.
Hope to learn about how to motivate/mobilize students, group members, subordinates and
how to tackle difficult situations during research/administrative jobs.
I should be able to create and work on portfolio. The leadership qualities of a teacher should
be groomed and skills to teach a larger class. Interaction management and conflict
management along the class management as well
To understand what we need to do as a teacher leader
To understand that how to lead the group
I might get better presentation skills.
Good Communication Skill
I always believe in the teaching philosophy that everyone can learn and everyone must
learn. But the idea is applicable only in a learning and managed environment. I hope that by
the end of this workshop I would be well trained to overcome the obstacles and conflicts
that I face as a teacher as well as an administrator.

ASSESSMENT




We learnt a lot about the strategies of resolving conflicts ahead of time. We learnt to set the
guidelines and rules beforehand to ensure a healthy learning environment in a
class/workshop or in any capacity.
Everything was useful as I learned some of the very useful and practical techniques to be
utilized in the classroom and especially in my research experience with research students.
Thank you.
Drawing rules/guidelines for the rest of this workshop.
Using Google documents.
Today I become familiar with Google docs, Padlet
Teacher as class manager to resolve class conflicts by defining class rules
It was the second time in my life-first being for my PhD thesis- that I defined any term
(Leadership in this case) on my own without knowing its previous definitions or studying
its concepts. So, constructing a line from so many scattered points was a good exercise.
Padlet and Google docs are a good addition to my armory of EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY.
Although I have to figure out the implementation of these tools in the class where not all the
students have access to computers or internet.
I learned that conflict may act as an energizing pill if the conflicting parties have good moral
values (good intentions and actions).
