organization. These
assessments can lead to
culture changes within the
organization which can result
in a hugely positive impact on
organizational performance
and morale of the employees.
I have not had the opportunity
to implement any of the
assessment strategies into my
professional life, but am
looking forward to the
opportunity to do so and be a
part of a powerful change
within our organization.
This course was very practical
for me as I found the concepts
were applicable to many
everyday situations in my
organization. Probably the
biggest lesson I gained from
this course was that having an
introverted personality can be
a very positive thing. I am by
nature more of an introverted
individual and understand the
effort it takes in social settings
in order to become
extroverted for the time being.
I have gained a lot of comfort
in knowing that there are
benefits to being introverted
and this has given me a great
self confidence.

importance of the various types of leadership (servant, transformational, etc). One thing that I found
surprising was the importance of assessments within organizations and how this kind of ties everything
together. I never gave too much thought to assessing the various components of an organization, other
than employee performance. Assessing the outcomes of the projects, the financial strength and quality of
leadership within an organization provides invaluable insight on how best to move forward on future
endeavors within the organization.
Prompt #2: What are your ideas in terms of how to best illustrate your growth and development over the
course of your education and experiences with the Organizational Leadership program? What are your
best ideas with respect to specific artifacts / evidence that you might present (within the context of an eportfolio) as your consider your growth and development in the Organizational Leadership Program?
My growth and development as a result of the Organization Leadership program has been incredible. Both
the core courses of the program and the general studies courses provided me with a much more well
rounded viewpoint, not only on organizations but in life as well. I have learned that leadership traits are not
necessarily something one is born with but can be developed over time, that being more introverted than
extroverted can actually be a positive trait within the context of an organization and that being a servant
leader is what I ultimately strive to be. Each of these lessons has provided me with intangibles that are not
easily accoutned for in artifacts or evidence. For instance, my personal confidence as well as my
relationships with both my colleagues and subordinates has improved dramatically. I was once in a place
were I thought I would remain with the same organization for as long as possible because I didnt have the
confidence or education to move on, but I now have aspirations and a passion to progress in my career
and lead others. With that said, my best ideas of tangible artifacts or evidence would have to be the
various papers and coursework I have prepared while going through this program.
