Instruction
In this weeks Reading, Kouzes and Posner (2012) provide two laws of leadership:
The First Law of Leadership: If you do not believe in the messenger, you will not believe the message.
The Second Law of Leadership: You build a credible foundation of leadership foundation when you DWYSYWD Do What You Say You Will Do.
Provide an example of a leader you know personally who has either exemplified the First Law of Leadership or who has violated this law. Share the reasons that justify your choice. Then provide a personal example of a situation you have experienced where a leader either followed the Second Law of Leadership or failed to do so.
Identify a specific task this week where you will apply both laws to your own leadership style.
