Leader prototypicality is defined by how well a leader embodies and represents members of their group and has been found to foster favorable attitudes (Chang, 2021). For this journal assignment you will consider the importance of leader prototypicality and connect it to your personal leadership style. You will also describe your value system and connect it to your Personal Leadership Framework.
First, consider the following questions:
How important is it for group members to identify with their leader? Why?
Are there times or situations when leader individuality may be more or less important than group prototypicality?
Think about your personal leadership style. When might your individuality be more important than group prototypicality? When might group prototypicality be more important than your individuality?
Then in your journal, write about circumstances when your individuality might be more important than group prototypicality. Also describe situations when the reverse might be true. Use the following concepts in your writing:
The concept of followership
How your value system is structured
How your value system ties into your overall Personal Leadership Conceptual Framework
