    Week 5: Adaptive Leadership

    This week as you begin to examine and study adaptive leadership, think about in what capacity God gifts you to help the development of others. How do you exercise that gift? How do you apply adaptive leadership principles to your professional field and your MBA studies?  As we enter Week 5, we’ll explore adaptive leadership and followership theories. Adaptive leadership focuses on mobilizing followers to tackle challenges and thrive. Leaders help followers adapt to situations to achieve their goals. You will analyze the need for adaptive leadership in modern organizations, discussing its challenges, principles, and practices in your field. Finally, you'll describe motivation's role in the workplace and integrate an ethical perspective into your analysis. May the Lord greatly bless you today and cause you to shine, stand out, and be fruitful in everything. Now, let's keep going!

    Week 3: Transformational Leadership

    The impact of becoming a transformational leader will bring the most significant change in your life and into the lives of those around you. If your actions inspire people to dream more, do more, and become more, then you are a transformational leader. You influence people to think, speak, and act in ways that make a positive influence in their lives and in the lives of others. And that kind of leadership can change the world! In Week 3, you will explore leader-member exchange theory and transformational leadership, focusing on how leader-follower interactions shape leadership. You will research the impact of these relationships on organizational performance and assess how transformational leadership influences personal and professional change. Additionally, you will examine self-leadership strategies and the role of purpose in goal setting and integrate ethics into your discussions and leadership analysis. May the Lord greatly bless you today and cause you to shine, stand out, and be fruitful in everything. Now, let's go learn from you!
