ASSIGNMENT • Discussion Forum: Have many leaders brought out the best in you or not? What

did they typically say or do? How did they make you and others feel? • Personal Learning Assignment (in video exercise; for details of the assignment

see the Personal Learning Assignment tab): Think of a leader you have worked with, or for, who brought out the best in you – and a leader with whom you worked that you try to avoid.

Additional Note: When we use the term compassion, we go beyond the typical Western interpretation to one coming from Confucian philosophy. Compassion is the experience of benevolence, of being open to others. It is caring for others who might be in pain (more hedonic) or those in joy (more eudemonic) or those in search of growth (eudemonic). For more detail and explanation of this, see the Boyatzis, Smith and Beveridge (in press) article listed in the Recommended readings for Module 5.2.

ASSIGNMENTS • Discussion Forum: How did the leaders who brought out the best in you make

you feel about what you were doing and why you were doing it? • Personal Learning Assignment (personal notes or journal reflection only): (1)

Remember being around a leader who brought out the best in you, how did you feel about what you were doing and why you were doing it? (2) The litmus test of being an effective leader: When people leave your office, do they feel inspired, lifted, excited? (3) Homework: Over the next two weeks, in every meeting/group in which you are present, take a few notes about the leader’s behavior. Then compare those in which you felt excited or inspired to those in which you felt deflated or bored.
