Module 3: Take-Home Lesson

discussion Banner

Introduction

Your weekly textbook readings offer you the opportunity to relate theoretical learning to your own experiences and draw lessons for your future leadership practice. The take-home lesson might be something you think you will be able to incorporate into your own leadership behaviors. It might be something you read in the notes or the textbook that you found particularly poignant or relevant. Your response should explain what the lesson is, why it is important, and how you might use it.

Important:

  • If you do not cite AI assistance, you will receive a zero for the assignment. However, you can revise and resubmit for full credit.
  • Responding to your peers is optional.

Instructions

Respond to the following question:

What would it be if you had to choose one take-home lesson from Chapters 5 and 6 in Kouzes and Posner, something you believe will really help you lead? Why?

Directions

  1. Use an AI tool to help you brainstorm, organize, and edit your response. The AI will guide you through a series of questions to help develop your take-home lesson. Examples of AI tools you can use are provided at the bottom. Use the prompt provided below to interact with the AI.
  2. AI Assistance Prompt:“I need help with an assignment for my MBA Leadership class. Please do not provide original thoughts. Instead, help me clarify and expand on my ideas. Here’s the assignment question: ‘What would it be if you had to choose one take-home lesson from Chapters 5 and 6 in Kouzes and Posner, something you believe will really help you lead? Why?’First, ask me to identify a take-home lesson from the chapters that resonates with me.After I answer, ask me the following follow-up questions one at a time:
    1. Describe in detail what the leadership lesson is and why it is significant.
    2. Why is this lesson important to you?
    3. How do you plan to incorporate this lesson into your own leadership behaviors?
    4. How do you see yourself using this lesson in your future leadership practice?

    Once I have answered all the questions, please help me organize my responses into a cohesive post that meets the assignment requirements, ensuring it is clear, professional, and well-structured.”

  3. Post the cohesive result generated after answering the AI’s questions by Day 7 of this week. Your post should clearly communicate your take-home lesson, its importance, and how you plan to use it in your leadership practice. You do not need to respond to your peers but may do so if you wish.
  4. Discussions need to be professional. Please make proper use of capitalization to begin sentences; also, make sure that there are no misspellings, incomplete sentences, or other violations of grammatical rules.
  5. The basic criterion for a discussion post to be considered effective is that your message must be original and intelligible. You must communicate concisely and effectively. In addition, you must meet the weekly requirements for full credit on discussion assignments.
  6. Citing AI in Your Assignment:
    • Include the in-text citation in your post to acknowledge the use of AI assistance.
    • Add the reference list citation at the end of your post.

Here is a suggested format for citing the AI tool:

In-Text Citation:

“Assistance provided by [AI Tool Name] was used to brainstorm, organize, and edit this response.”
