Thanks.

Using the outline as a guide, please write an essay of 1375 words reflecting on leadership in the Harvard style and include over 10 references.

After viewing Dr. Fleming’s video and completing this week’s readings, create a visual illustration of the elements of your own identity. Your visual should include both your personal identities and your group/social identities and should be a comprehensive list of the various elements of your identity. How you choose the separate your core identities from those that are farther from the center is up to you. The illustration can be as plain or as colorful and creative as you like. If you create your illustration by hand, be sure to scan/photograph it and include it with your paper. Save your illustration as a jpeg and include it with your reflection paper. This section does not count toward your total word count for this assignment.

In addition to creating your identity illustration, address the following prompts:
Introduction
What are the 4-5 most important (core) elements of your identity?
Where and how were each of these aspects of your identity formed?
Think of the last time that one or more of these identities were threatened. (The focus here should be on a threat that came through the words or actions of another person or other people, not internal battles you might have experienced within yourself.)
How did you respond?
Northrup (1989) believes that conflicts that threaten or are perceived as threatening to our core concepts of self very often result in intractable conflicts. How does your example support or refute this belief?
In your opinion, why does identity have such a major impact on a person’s response to conflict? Support your view with information from the course, the textbooks, or other academic material.
In your opinion, how does your identity impact your personal conflict style that you discovered in Module 1?
Think about your personal reaction to conflict in light of what Shapiro called the repetition compulsion. Respond to the following questions adapted from p. 65:
What recurrently dysfunctional pattern(s) do you exhibit in conflict? (We all have them!)
At the moment when this pattern occurs, what is threatening your identity? Be specific and introspective in your explanation.
Which of the common issues listed on p. 66 lure you into the repetition compulsion? Is it something else? Why do you think these things pull you in?
Conflict is almost never one-sided, and the ability and willingness to own your own contribution to a conflict is indicative of an increasing level of emotional intelligence (which we will discuss in the next module). With that in mind, think back to a recent conflict in which you were personally involved. How did your own words and actions contribute to the escalation of this conflict? Provide specific evidence of words that you said and/or actions that you took that made the conflict more difficult for everyone involved.
Consider a long-standing conflict with which you are personally familiar. It should be one in which you are personally involved if possible, or at least one with which you are very familiar with the parties and the details. Synthesizing the material from Northrup and Shapiro’s section on the sacred and any other academic material you find appropriate, analyze the conflict in terms of its intractability and the sacred.
What do each of the parties hold sacred that is threatened by this conflict?
Is it possible for the parties to disentangle the sacred from the secular (Shapiro, pp. 105-107)? Explain.
Is this conflict intractable? Explain.

Evaluating a Journal Article
Access Beaman Library as explained before and find three scholarly journal articles (academic, peer-reviewed) related to your topic. (articles are attached)
Next, fill out one format for each one of the articles and evaluate their usefulness. (must complete a form for each article, the form is uploaded to documents)

Provide new or supplemental information to the original posting or raise additional areas for discussion. New or additional peer reviewed references.
should be cited in each cross post. The new or additional peer reviewed cross
posts were not used in your initial discussion or the initial discussion of the peer.

In Topic 4, selections for the Southwest Transit marketing team were made, and now your job is to present the recommendation to your director. Surprisingly though, a directive is issued informing management that only four people will be able to staff the team, which will of course increase the pressure finalizing the selection.
Consider the vision for a successful Southwest Transit marketing team composed in Topic 4. Narrow down the team selection to four individuals for presentation to the director. Decide which strategies will be most effective for leading the agreed-upon team. Compose a PowerPoint presentation (10-12 slides), then record your 5-7-minute presentation using YouTube Video, Loom, or Zoom. On the title slide of your PowerPoint presentation, provide the link to your YouTube, Loom, or Zoom video recording that you created. Your presentation should address the following:
Who are the four team members, and what was the primary reason each person was selected? How difficult was it to come to a decision regarding team selection? Which potential team member was most difficult to come to a consensus about? Why?
What are the primary strengths of the team? What are its potential weaknesses? How positive is the management team about the team’s potential? Justify your answers with evidence from ” Southwest Transit Team Member Profiles.”
What strategies will be most effective for motivating the team, managing conflict, ensuring success, and fostering collaboration? Cite specific motivational theories, conflict-resolution strategies, and leadership strategies in your answer.
Justify how the selected team embodies the values of conscious capitalism and how the tenet of stakeholder orientation played a role in the team selection process. Provide citations to strengthen your claims.
Describe how value is created for each stakeholder, and in what ways will the team positively impact the business as a whole?
You are required to use at least three academic references to strengthen and support your claims and recommendations. Ensure each content slide has supporting citations and specific examples.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Benchmark Information
This benchmark assignment assesses the following programmatic competency:
MSL, Homeland Security and Emergency Management
2.2: Evaluate Strategies for effectively leading teams and fostering collaboration.
**You MUST use speaker notes in your PPT. This is where the body of your essay should be with the slides used for bullet points that highlight the content from the speaker notes. Also, you MUST record a 5–10-minute presentation using Zoom, Loom, or YouTube. A word of caution, if you do not use speaker notes and in-text citations from scholarly sources then you will earn no more than satisfactory for that section of the rubric. 
**This presentation requires a minimum of three academic sources to be cited (do not use Google to find resources, you must use the textbook and two academic sources from the course resources or GCU library or Google Scholar from the past five years). If you use AI technology like ChatGTP you must cite it as a source, but it is not a scholarly source so you must still cite scholarly research. Keep in mind that tools like ChatGTP can be helpful but you must present your own original work.  
***Total of 12 slides already created only need to add information. Minimum of 100 Words per body slide (9 body slides).

Response to HS
The following are my most important values I seek to model as a leader. These are listed in order of importance to me, the first one list is the most important.
Communication, accountability, relationships, teamwork, honesty, challenge, determination
Impact of Leadership Values, A Good Leader
Someone I currently work with and have worked with for the past 5 years is who I would pick as a good leader. Jason is by far one the most passionate leaders and mentors I have worked with that has made the biggest impact in my professional career.   He is extremely committed to his team and challenges us every day.  He is extremely innovated and determined to make a difference.   He is great at building relationships and has been a great role model on how important relationships are in our everyday work.   
The values they ‘Modeled the Way’ included:
Teamwork, communication, innovation, relationships, honesty, challenge, determination
I believe our values are very much aligned with each other almost very similar too.   I believe because my leader, who is also my direct boss, and myself have very aligned values has helped to me to perform at such a high level and be very successful.   We work extremely well together and challenge each other.  We respect each other, but will also be very honest with each other when something is not going well or needs to be challenged.  Having a leader and boss that respects me has also allowed me to not be afraid to speak up with I want to challenge something.   Our teamwork and determination really do complement each other.
