Looking back at my personal definition for leadership, I wouldn't really change anything about it. My definition of leadership was the action, thoughts, processes and dedication taken by a person or persons in a passionate and honest attempt to assist, guide and provide for other people. If anything, perhaps this definition sounds more appealing, because it captures all of the heart and soul that I believe leadership can be.
Prior to taking MSLD 511 and learning about all of the leadership types and behaviors, I thought I knew enough about leadership to be dangerous. But, now that we've gone through Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice (2018), I can say that my outlook on the various types of leadership has expanded tenfold. I still believe that women are great leaders and they should be scored more appropriately in future opinions. I still believe that Winston and Patterson (2006) went too far in their analysis of leadership.
Dr. P, I humbly apologize, but we had a death in the family and I am unable to add anything further to this assignment. This is not how I wanted to end this class and is not a reflection of my character. My wife's grandfather passed away and we just got back from Denver. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and hope this partially completed assignment does not effect my grade too negatively. I look forward to having you teach more of my classes in the future.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Marques Thomey
