Hello Professor Stacy “Coach” Plemmons,
I liked how today we had the same quote on the powerpoint slide (to take a step back, and there will be serenity).
THESIS: ENERGY, RED: is not good because of aggression. The example of the texas gapers standing out on the ski hill. I used to be a likeable guy, but when I exert my red energy (in hopes of helping the organization), the workers in the organization (colleagues, co-workers, employees, superiors, managers, etc.) take my decisions personal. As a result, this destroys relationships. In my paper, I will be attempting to focus on how I can build relationships with the people I interact with.
If you’re okay with it, I will be bridging the two papers with building relationships as the key factor that will hold the two together.
Story: Created by Brady James
Situation: Uplifting coworkers thru hard times (Cameron had to be out of town, Justin had to visit his mother in the hospital).
Task: Help Cameron to see a bigger picture. In a shared document, I made it clear to Cameron that instead of analizing the cost structure of the NPO, that he could be looking at the leadership team.
Action: Ignited a spark in Cameron, and it worked.
Result: Cameron kept looking and wanted to share what he learned, inspiring others, rotating the leaders at the NPO is now a possibility, building a lasting business.
It was also great to see our guest speaker sitting in on the class again, so I went out of my way to listen to her wisdom.
Thank You for helping me to learn this.

#Future Vision - Evidence for leadership progress
#Abstract
Clarify my personal vision of my future leadership capability.
The following leadership models / tools are skillfully used here in combination with self evaluations will help me efficiently and effectively lead in the future.
Since my key organizational performance results (building customer loyalty, organizational capabilities, and shareholdervalue) can be expressed in images, the following will be used in the appendix:
I was investigating a core problem (flawed leadership) and my results tell me that I can improve my leadership for the future.
The current body of knowledge gives examples of the course models and figures that I will be using in the future to assess and improve upon my leadership and organizational behavior.

(“What does it take to get from my current reality to my future state?”)
Outline a development plan and action steps, in adequate detail for your instructor to understand the probability of success, and in as much detail as useful to you, identifying steps and/or activities that will help you achieve your future leadership vision.
A plan format will be provided, or you may create your own format – whichever is most helpful to you.

I intend to clarify my personal vision of my future leadership capability. My goal is for tangible evidence of our organization’s leadership progress to be presented in measurable results consisting of self-evaluations and course models. I plan to develop and improve my potential knowledge, skills, and abilities. I will be approachable to employees as I communicate evaluations with them.
This paper aims to describe the future leadership skills I hope to possess, how I hope to lead in the future, how I’d like to be remembered, contributions (towards benefiting the organization/self) that leverage personal strengths & abilities, the unique impacts on the world (resulting from my future leadership), how evidence of leadership progress will be measured.

Key Leadership Equation:
Performance is a function of ability, motivation, and opportunity:
P = A x M x O
Brady’s future leadership will improve once he applies the models and methods.
I have observed and learned that I can measure my future leadership (at the organization) by using course models and methods
The connection between course models & self-evaluating is apparent in the evidence of leadership progress. Peter Drucker suggested that “you can’t manage what you can’t measure”.
Well in sum, in total— I gained a new awareness that I can use course models and methods to better measure the desired results in leadership. Over the upcoming years, I will continue to develop myself into an effective leader by practicing the models that stacy Plemmons has taught me in class. There are so many ways to analize leadership and I hope to continue them in my daily life.
Or you can simply list your references here:
Communication, Ability to give Feedback, Self-Awareness, Approchability.
I want to possess the leadership skills outlined in the lectures at Colorado State University’s MGT410 Leadership and Organizational Behavior course and taught by Professor Stacy Plemmons.
I will lead effectively and efficiently by applying the course models to leadership
I want to be remembered as a leader who helped our team to progress our organization into the unknown. I want to be remembered as someone who measured everything, gave feedback to everyone, and helped others develop their leadership skills in accordance with the leadership models
I will consult with others relating to helping them to see how they fit into the organization as a whole. I will also do side work relating to small business consulting in hopes of leading small businesses to great heights.
I will leave behind a legacy of the new era science of leadership and organizational behavior.
Evidence of leadership progress is measured with course models and evaluations on a regular basis (weekly), a less frequent basis (monthly), and rarely (quarterly).
I will keep an ongoing “Affinity Diagram, or K-J Analysis on the wall behind my office chair. This will be seen by me every time I enter or exit my workstation. This will also be seen by my co-workers (superiors & employees) when they visit my office.
I will deploy policies with the Hoshin Kanari model— which aims at lining up strategic actions at all organization levels. The result of using this model in the future will be success (as long as I follow up on it). by “getting all the wood behind one arrow”, the organization I work for will benefit. Tangible evidence of the benefits will include deliverable plans for each year. The Hoshin Kanari model is a leadership tool that will allow for my future leadership abilities to lead to organizational success.
As I follow-up on my Hoshin Kanari model, I will be using the “Five Why’s” model of questioning. It is my hope that mastering the questioning model of “Why?”’s will allow me to dig deeper into the goals of members at my organization. In learning the goals of my co-workers, I can effectively help align actions strategically across the organization. This questioning model will help me become an efficient leader.
What frequency will i use the methods and models?
How often will i share my results with my team?
I will implement the “10 Steps to a Courageous Conscience” as I lead in the future. First, I will gather the perspectives of others as I gather my facts. Second, I will request meetings with the senior business associates at the organization prior to taking stands that many may oppose. Third, I will work within the system (not on the system) — making sure to prepare my position with my audience in mind. Next, I will teach others how my viewpoint can benefit the organization— so that we move forward to taking action. Lastly, when confronted with resistance from other leaders, I will revert back to higher authority for backup in the form of resources and support. These steps applied to my future leadership will present efficient results.
I will use the sample Reframe Log. This will be helpful when I face situations in the future in which I begin to blame other people for the issues I face. This tool will be helpful in becoming a better leader in the future because it will force me to take a step back into a vantage point and analyze a situation I am in. When I sit back to analyze a difficult situation, I will be able to reframe how I am talking to myself in a way that allows me to take responsibility for the situation. This reframe log sample is going to be an effective way for me to model how I can be a better leader in the future.

As we develop our strategic actions, I will evaluate our levels of motivation and performance. I will use the function of “Performance = Ability X Motivation X Opportunity”. Our strategic plan will create opportunities for us to take. Next, I will motivate my team, myself, and my organization to act on our plan. If needed; I can provide resources necessary for task completion. The result of this function in place will be effective performance of the organization; and myself as a leader.
There are six categories of critical thinking that I will use in the future as I become a better leader. First, I will be sure of my knowledge of the relevant data. Second, I will ensure a full understanding and comprehension is attained- as I clear up any unclear interpretations of the data. Third, I will apply the concepts to new areas of business as they arise. Fourth, I will break down the concepts into bite sized pieces during my analyzing phase. Fifth, I will synthesize as I create a new strategy with the concepts. Last, I will evaluate and judge the effectiveness of new ideas and deliverables. These critical thinking categories will be essential in my future leadership development.

To benefit the organization as well as myself, I will leverage my personal strengths and abilities by contributing. I will consult with others relating to helping them to see how they fit into the organization as a whole. I will also do side work relating to small business consulting in hopes of leading small businesses to great heights.

I really do hope that I can turn around and look at my team members, to analyze their locus of controls. For those team members with external locus of controls, I will break down their assignments and frequently check back in with them. For the team members that have internal locus of controls, I will provide them with lengthy assignments and rarely check in with them. Evaluating the locus of control in my team members will allow me to become an effective leader at my organization in the future.

I will check myself with “The Five Qualities of a Good Promise” with regards to leadership. I will ensure promises are made publicly so that they are more likely to be kept. All commitments will be actively defined so that no grey areas exist. Voluntary promises will be essential since many have more willingness when personally committed to a responsibility. Explicit promises are to be made so that all persons involved understand the promise as a whole. Mission-based promises will be essential as the underlying concerns are targeted instead of merely completing tasks. These five qualities of promises will help me to effectively lead and be a key member of the organization as a whole in the future.

I used lots of worksheets and evaluation forms
I was approchable so that people could come to me for feedback, and they were not threatened when I came to them to give them feedback
I was approchable and could communicate my ideas across to them
I never have enough time—> how can i have enough time?
If my team would listen to me, I could get this job done —>If I listen to my team, I can align our values better, resulting in this job getting done
If corporate would just give me the resources, I could really succeed —> If I figure out a more efficient method of task completion with my current resources- corporate may trust me with more resources for additional tasks.
