     On this storyboard, I will be explaining my personal leadership goals and my action plans on how to achieve them.
   The purpose of this storyboard is to help me set up my leadership goals in the future and have my specific action plan ready. ]]> 2017-03-01 22:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198281 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198393      To start with, I will talk about my personal leadership vision.
     Before taking IHMN354, my understanding of leadership is relatively swallow.  But after having my learning experience in IHMN 354, I had a much better understanding of leadership theory and values. 
  Personally, my leadership vision is to build healthy relationship with the followers and be collaborative  with them.]]> 2017-03-01 22:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198393 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198414      My first leadership goal is to learn an important skill as a successful leader, which is to care for my followers and gain their respect.
     I think caring for the followers is an essential skill for respectful leaders because I support the Behavior approach demonstrate by Daft. According to Daft, leadership can be reflected in behavior and not just your leadership qualities (2015, p.45). I believe that showing care for my subordinates can help support my leadership development. ]]> 2017-03-01 22:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198414 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198432      My second leadership goal is to learn how to solve conflicts/issues with my followers using the most effective leadership approach. 
     I think this is an practical leadership skill for me to learn. In real life, leaders often come across with various issues and conflicts with the people that they are leading. It's usually difficult for leaders to deal with such situations as they need to consider many factors related with the issue and choose the right approach to solve the problem.
     Therefore, I think it's essential for me to achieve this goal in order to assist my leadership journey in the future.]]> 2017-03-01 22:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198432 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198510      Since my goal is to learn how to influence my follower by caring behaviors and build a healthy relationship with them, I will be focus on the consideration structure of the Behavior approach (Daft, 2015, p 46)
According to the studies, in order to be considerate as a leader, I will have to care about my followers, respect their ideas, encourage them to create mutual trust and be a great listener. 
     My first action would be to find out what I am lacking as a leader for my subordinates. I will talk to them in person and humbly ask for feedback on my behavior approach. 
After retrieving the results from my followers, I will work on the weak points accordingly. For instance, if my followers says that I don't communicate with them enough and I am not a good listener, I will make sure to remind myself in the workplace to be a good communicator for my followers.         I will actively go to them and start conversation and build relationship with them. ]]> 2017-03-01 22:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198510 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198520      Solving conflict as a leader is never an easy skill to learn. Having conflicts within your followers can be harmful for the organization's growth and productivity. 
     My first step would be to create a culture where everyone's personality, personal values are well-respected. As far as I am concerned, disagreement and disrespectful opinions are the root to conflicts within followers. Therefore, building a respectful company culture can help prevent the conflicts from occurring. 
     My next action is learn how to handle the conflict professionally. As we all know, a common mistake made by leaders is to apply personal emotion when resolving a conflict. To be more professional when resolving conflicts, I will have to learn how to be fair and objective when resolving conflicts. Having worked with many successful leaders in my career, I will interview some role-model leaders about their suggestion for me when resolving conflicts within the team.
     Lastly, to test my skill of resolving conflicts within the team, I will seize the opportunity when there's conflicts within my team and try to resolve it with my professional leadership skills. ]]> 2017-03-01 22:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198520 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198563      My anticipated outcomes of goal I would be my improvement on leadership skills and better relationship-building skills with my followers to create a healthier work environment. 
     For me, I will be able to influence more followers by enhancing my behavior approach. On the other hand, others will benefit from a more caring, considerate leadership approach, too. ]]> 2017-03-01 22:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198563 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198605 For me: 
     Having the ability to resolve conflicts as a leader is an essential asset for my leadership journey. I will be able to create a friendly, enjoyable work environment for all of my followers and improve the productivity of the team. 
For others:
     Conflicts is part of people's daily life. It can be frustrating for people if not handled correctly. There will be less conflict between people if there's a positive company culture built by the leader.]]> 2017-03-01 22:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/157198605 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158813601      This storyboard provide me with the chance to reflect on what I've learned during the course of IHMN354. Set realistic goals for my future journey of leadership development. 
     I believe that with my specific action plans for my goals, I will be able to improve my leadership skills and become a better future generation leader. ]]> 2017-03-08 20:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158813601 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158821777 2017-03-08 21:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158821777 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158821889 2017-03-08 21:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158821889 elena19940113 https://padlet.com/elena19940113/elenazhu/wish/158823129 Daft, R.
