Part I. The Leadership Challenge
This part of the assignment is based on the article The Leadership Challenge, which is based on the best-selling leadership book The Leadership Challenge. The article provides additional insight into the challenges that leaders face in organizations today, as well as five practices that lead to more effective leadership. Please read the article and Chapter 1 in the textbook prior to completing Part 1 of the Leadership Reflection Questions assignment. 
The authors, Kouzes & Posner, identified five leadership practices (consistent behaviors) through years of extensive research with thousands of participants. Discuss the section “Credibility is the Foundation of Leadership” addressing the following questions:
Do leaders really need to be honest – isn’t it OK to lie a little, cover-up facts, break promises because of circumstances? 
What are the social consequences of dishonest behavior? 
What are the “natural” consequences (impact on self-concept, trust, confidence, etc.)?
Can leaders really inspire? Isn’t this a job for the individual (to inspire self)? 
Provide an example of an inspirational leader you have known. How did he/she affect your emotions, hope, views? 
Review the outline for each of the five practices: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, Encourage the Heart. 
Select one of the five practices and provide supporting evidence (e.g., experiences) for the practice. 
Provide an example(s) of a leader who behaved in ways opposing the chosen practice. 
Part 2: Traits, Behaviors and Relationships
Please read Chapter 2 and then refer to Exhibit 2.7 below (and in textbook) which shows how some leaders treat In-Group Subordinates compared to how they treat Out-Group Subordinates. Please address all of the questions in Part 2.
