Question.5220 - the ProcessDiscussionDavid Neeleman: Flight Path of a Servant LeaderDiscussion InstructionsInstructionsBy the end of day (11:59 pm) Wednesday (Mountain Standard or Mountain Daylight Time), post one substantial, well-constructed contribution. The post should clearly state your position, include supporting evidence from the case study, and appropriately apply concepts from the reading assignments.This initial post should be between 250 and 300 words in length. By the end of the day (11:59 pm) Friday (Mountain Standard or Mountain Daylight Time), make at least three meaningful replies (not to exceed 150 words each) to other students’ initial posts add/or other students' responses to your initial post. Replies should be thoughtful and push the conversation forward, not simply agree, disagree or restate the post. Add your own thoughts and build upon what your classmates have posted. (This often is more difficult than it initially appears and requires some meaningful thought and effort. One way you can add to the conversation is by offering a different perspective or by contrasting your classmate's post with the application of a different principle. Another way to push the conversation forward is by adding a new and different example of how to apply the principle your classmate mentions. A third way of building upon your classmates' posts is by asking a related, rhetorical question and then providing your thoughts to answer the question. Each of these examples keep the conversation going and help to provide greater insight into how to apply the principles from the module.)Continue to monitor the discussion board throughout the week and engage with students who comment on your posts.Indicate the posts that you feel best address the question by liking them.Contribute to the learning community by positively engaging and challenging each other.Please include the word count as part of your submission on all assignments, including posts and replies.Use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Background"Business leaders have to be able to view patterns as if they were on a balcony. It does them no good to be swept up in the field of action. Leaders have to see a context for change or create one.""Leadership, as seen in this light, requires a learning strategy. A leader, from above or below, with or without authority, has to engage people in confronting the challenge, adjusting their values, changing perspectives, and learning new habits.""The adaptive demands of our time require leaders who take responsibility without waiting for revelation or request. One can lead with no more than a question in hand." "The Work of Leadership" by Ronald A. Heifetz and Donald L.
