Learning Outcomes
GNED 1011 –Developing Leadership has a variety of learning outcomes that students will be evaluated on throughout the course. These outcomes have been developed by the College for this course. This assignment relates to the following Learning Outcomes listed in the course outline:
- Explain leadership styles, practices, knowledge, and skills.

Part A: Background

- Useful information might be:
Part B: Connections to the Practices
- Use headings to identify which practice you are referring to (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, etc.)
- Select THREE of the five practices outlined in the course text and explain how your leader conforms to the selected practices.
- Use SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from the leader’s life that you have found in your research and create connections to specific leadership BEHAVIOURS outlined in the practices (See textbook intro video in Week 1 folder for a discussion on the differences between Practices, Commitments, and BEHAVIOURS). These connections will act as proof of how your leader conforms to the practices. Please ensure your connections are clear and specific with proper citations to research and to pages in the course text.
- Your connections to the Practices should be from within the relevant section of the text.
PART C: Reflection
- Describe why you personally think this individual is a good leader. Please be specific.
- Describe what you have learned about leadership in general based your review of their life.
