OPTION 1: LEADERSHIP VISION FOR A CAUSE, COMMUNITY, ORGANIZATION, ETC., FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY.

You might begin by asking yourself  questions like these:

WHAT IS MY PASSION? Details here (drawn primarily from ch. 3 of Robert J. Lee's Discovering the Leader in You ( San Francisco, Calif / 2001). Or see the print version in your anthology.

§  What issues, organizations, or communities are most important to me?

§  What group of people do I have a special affinity and love for?

§  When I am most energized and focused, what am I working on?

§  What do I like so much I would do it for free?

§  What do I feel compelled to pursue?

With that in mind what you would say to a visitor if, pausing by the statue of Martin Luther King, you were asked 'What is your dream?'? Or, looking at the sculpture in front of the FAC, what would the torch represent that you would pass on to the next generation?

In the selection from Lee's Discovering the Leader in You pay special attention to questions such as " What impact do you want to make? .... What better world do you like to imagine?"

Hence especially valuable are truths that tap into that which is greater than the self, truths that enable you to make a contribution to society that can be thought of as your legacy when you are gone.

When you have some answers to these questions, ask yourself again where you would be most interested in serving, making a difference, or creating a breakthrough change (specifically which organization, community, or cause)? If you were in the Leadershape training program of the Colleges of Business and Engineering, your ultimate question for this assignment would be something like "What could the future look like (for my cause, community, organization, etc.) if I could have it way any way I wanted?"
