Contacting Leaders To
Interview–Decide
the level of leaders you would like to interview (for example, individual
contributors, middle managers, or top managers). Also, in your learning group,
choose an aspect of leadership from the Cashman text topics (such as, personal
mastery, purpose mastery, change mastery, interpersonal mastery, being mastery,
balance mastery, or action mastery).
Each of you should request and schedule 45–minute interviews
with two different leaders. Interview leaders at your learning group’s chosen
level, and center both interviews on your group’s chosen aspect of leadership.
Note: The interviews you conduct should be in person. You will
be conducting your interviews in week 3 or 4 of the class and use them in your
team project and your personal project. You may use some of the questions
developed in the reflection exercises in the text in the chapter on your topic.
Write up your interview focus. Your instructor will provide
feedback on your interview focus. Include the following information:
·
State your intended purpose for the interview. Provide an
explanation of the topic and why you chose it.
·
What level leadership are you interviewing?
·
Outline your schedule for both interview sessions, include the
names and titles of the leaders with date and time of interview. If you have
not been able to solidify your schedule, please include a report of your
progress.
·
List the interview questions you plan to use from your learning
group’s chosen aspect of leadership.
