Personal Beliefs in Practice

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered.

For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

Personal Beliefs in Practice

Our personal growth and development throughout our lives has helped to create a set of beliefs upon which we judge all interactions, even those in business situations. Through this assignment you will reflect on an experience where you employed your own beliefs, and you will consider how they may have influenced your choices in leadership moments.

Using the worksheet you completed this week, provide a real-life example of a situation where you were asked to make a leadership decision in your personal or professional life that challenged at least one of your personal beliefs. What were the circumstances surrounding the challenge? Did you compromise your beliefs? What emotions rose to the forefront when your belief systems were challenged? What were the results of the decision and were you satisfied with the results? What changes would you make in similar future situations? Discuss how you did or can apply this lesson to your own future performance in leadership.
