Model The Way, Chapter 3 & 4 (The Leadership Challenge)
1. Model The Way means to Clarify Values
(A) One has to have a set of values they believe in themselves without outside influence.
We tend to remember those leaders who possessed strong beliefs about matters of principle.
People admire most those who believe strongly in something, and who are willing to stand up for their beliefs.
To stand up for one’s beliefs, one has to know what they stand up for in the first place.
People can’t believe in a messenger if they don’t know that the messenger believes.
We can’t be the messenger until we are clear about what we believe.
People can only speak the truth when speaking in their own voice.
(B) Explore our Inner Territory
We must know what we care about.
Deep within us all there is something we deeply care about.
Sometimes finding our values means challenging ourselves to explore areas that we don’t like to think about.
Clarity of our values gives us the confidence to make tough decisions and to act with determination and to take charge of our lives.
(C) Values Guide Us
In essence we are looking at the importance of values and how they guide us through the good and difficult times we face as leaders.
Values Influence every aspect of our lives:
Our moral judgments.
Our responses to others.
We make decisions based off of our values
Values empower us and allow us to act independently.
(D) Personal Values Clarity Drives Commitment
We won’t stick around at a place or work environment where we don’t feel our values are congruent to those values of the workplace. We simply just leave and find a place we feel does.
(E) We must be able to say it in our own words.
Leadership is a means of personal expression.
Our words must be able to be recognized as our words alone.
We must be true to ourselves and have a responsibility to our followers to be genuine. Nothing is more disheartening than to find our leaders are not genuine.
(F) Our values must be shared!
Everybody will not be in accord on all values within an organization.
Shared Values are an organization’s promises.
Differences over fundamental shared values can result in: (pg. 60).
(G)Unity is forged not forced:
Forged is characteristic of something established through effort and in a collaborative manner while forced is implied to mean something established through dictation.
CAUTION: Shared values should never be used as an excuse for the suppression of dissent.
2. Model The Way means to Set The Example
When one’s values are tested, that’s when leaders have to make sure they demonstrate through personal example what it means to be passionately committed. (Pg. 74)
Setting the example is about execution! “Sometimes the greatest distance we have to travel is from our mouths to our feet.”
Personify the Shared values
Teach others to model the values
Ask purposeful questions.
Seek feedback
Confront Critical Incidents
Reinforce the behavior you want repeated
Inspire a Shared Vision, Chapter 5 & 6 (The Leadership Challenge)
Inspiring a Shared Vision means to look to the future.
A leader’s vision alone is insufficient. Unless it is shared and believed in by others then it will not come to fruition.
By imagining the possibilities and finding a common purpose, leaders can inspire a shared vision.
According to Kouzes and Posner’s research ordinary people make extraordinary accomplishments when they find a passion and a common purpose with others.
It is not possible to find a common purpose without listening attentively and determining what is meaningful to others.
Inspiring a Shared Vision means to Enlist Others.
One must appeal to common ideals and animate the vision. Animate the vision means to “paint a picture” with words so others can see the possibilities as well and to use symbolic language to make images of the future.
To inspire a shared vision requires the expansion of one’s communication and expressiveness skills.
What is it that someone knows, when we say that he or she knows a language? How does knowing a language empower people socially, culturally, intellectually, and economically? Likewise, what are the adverse social and economic repercussions when someone does not have competency in the dominant language of a country or society he / she lives in?
Knowledge of language can be broken down into at least the following four components: 1) phonology: how sounds are put together to form larger units, such as words; 2) syntax: how words are put together to form sentences; 3) semantics: how the meaning of sentences is determined from the meaning of the words and the way that they are combined; and 4) discourse structure: how sentences are put together into larger discourse structures.
When it comes to language acquisition, however, there is also a social justice element involved. The goals of language education in the United States have always been informed by the social, historical, and political contexts in which the instruction takes place. Applied linguistics plays a key role in research to increase understanding and challenge inequalities and injustices in society.
Assignment Overview
In this assignment, we shall explore social justice, language acquisition, and the issue of national or official language policy, such as standard English as the official language in America.
The political, social, and cultural significance of the concept of an official language is clear in the intense controversies over national language policy that have arisen, and continue to arise, in countries throughout the world and in the policies that different governments adopt. Contrasting examples include: the adoption of French as the sole official language of the Canadian province of Quebec in 1974; and the long-standing official recognition of three languages (French, Swiss German, and Italian) in the multi-ethnic, multicultural country of Switzerland.
Here in the U.S., there has been a growing movement over the past two decades advocating a federal law to designate English as the official language of the nation. The idea behind this proposal is to require that English be the sole language of all government affairs (e.g., courts, taxes, elections) and of education. This movement is highly controversial.
Prompt for Week IV Argumentative Essay:
What do you think? Should the United States proclaim English as the official language? Should America adopt a federal law on an official language?
Alternatively, if you come from a country where there have been controversies over language policy, what is your view about them?
If you are a teacher or soon- to- be- teacher, or in some other profession where you engage with people whose first language is not English, how might you engage in interactions that include a social justice ethos?
Using what you have learned about language and linguistic theory in this class, as well as your own observations, ideas, and experiences, formulate a clear and well-argued position on these controversial questions.
No outside research is required for this assignment.
Write a 1,400-1700 word ( approximately) argumentative essay. Be sure to address at least one counter-argument to your position, and offer a sound rebuttal. Please use APA / MLA formatting.
No outside research is required for this assignment; however, if you do use resources, be sure to use the APA/ MLA citation format and bibliography format.
The “Superfoods”
Have you ever been told by a friend that you should eat a particular food because it cured whatever was wrong with him or her? That all health problems magically disappeared when he or she started eating that food (or taking that supplement or herb or whatever)? When a food or food-related product has been associated with improved health, those foods are generally referred to as “superfoods” and the hype that surrounds them is legion. We all want to be healthy, so health is the “hook” which sells a product – whether it’s a food, or a beauty cream, or a.shampoo!
Many of these foods really do have some established nutritive value and are often referred to by nutritionists as “functional foods”. The trick is to know what science has shown these foods really can do, as opposed to the “hype” that promises they can do everything! There are several ways to identify false or exaggerated claims. The claims may be unfounded because of a lack of research, or it may be that the cited research has been conducted by the food grower or producer, or limited to anecdotal records or celebrity endorsements. Or it may be simply because the only scientific study was conducted with a sample N of 10! If you truly believe a food is “functional” and offers documented health benefits, there will be evidence of scientific research that has been peer reviewed and accepted by certified or licensed professionals in the nutrition field. Be sure to include reference to that research at the conclusion of your thread.
When a food or nutrition product is promoted as being universally effective in preventing or treating a specific condition or disease, that’s “hype”..What works for one person may not have the same effect on another person. When we see the term “superfood” used on websites, we can be fairly sure that that site is geared toward selling a product. From kelp (seaweed) to green tea, the list is endless. And sellers don’t limit their claim to one condition – they claim that their food cures virtually everything that’s wrong with you! Different cultures have different “superfoods”, too, making this a “global” concern for consumers who are desperately searching for alternative healthsolutions.
