LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP PRESENTATION: SECTION 3

Note: This presentation is divided into three sections. This week, you will complete and submit the final presentation and script. You submitted Section 1 in Week 4 and Section 2 in Week 5.

During the past 2 weeks, you have been developing a presentation based on the following scenario:

You have been asked by your manager to present at this year’s annual Dynamic Leadership conference. The subject of your presentation is on followership and how it contributes to effective leadership in a business context.
The basic outline for this presentation will include three sections:
Section 1: Followership Defined
Section 2: The Leader-Follower Interaction
Section 3: Traits of Leadership and Followership

For this week’s Assignment, you will conclude your presentation by completing Section 3 of the presentation and by finalizing both the PowerPoint slide deck and your accompanying script. The submitted Assignment must include the finalized slide content for all three sections as well as finalized text in the speaker notes section of each slide that would serve as the script you would use to deliver this presentation to a group of people. As you finalize your presentation and script, be sure to cover all items outlined for Section 3, including the incorporation of references to appropriate academic sources, such as those found in the Learning Resources or those in the Walden Library.

Submit your final presentation and script for Sections 1–3. Be sure that you have included the requirements for Section 3 in 4–5 slides, excluding references:

Section 3: Traits of Leadership and Followership

• Examine how personal traits influence how one leads and how one follows. Draw on professional and personal experience to provide examples.
• Analyze how a follower can contribute to effective leadership in an organization. Provide at least one example to support your analysis.
• Analyze how a leader can encourage effective followership in an organization. Provide at least one example to support your analysis.
• Identify at least one personal trait you would like to improve upon to become a more effective leader and at least one trait you would like to improve upon to become a more effective follower. Explain why these improvements would be a benefit to you and to an organization.

As a reminder, your finalized presentation should be approximately 10–15 slides in length, with accompanying script text for each slide. Make sure that your script and PowerPoint slides follow each other and flow as a single presentation.
