Purpose: Analyze how Sergeants Major assists in the development of organizations and leaders to achieve results by integrating leadership competencies and experience into an organizational-level leadership position. Assignment: Write a 4-5-page substantive essay adhering to the appropriate APA writing standards, not including the title page or reference page, demonstrating an understanding of three ELOs presented during term from each of the three modules (pick one ELO from each module). As you write, think about what the major takeaways from the ELO’s and as a future graduate of the course the applicability are.  The goal of this reflection is not to rewrite what you have previously written about in the preceding three modules verbatim from your module journal assignments. The outcome of this reflective exercise is to provide you an opportunity to reflect on the material presented and its application as a Sergeant Major. If you are unable to select three different ELOs than what you have previously written about. Take the ones you have written about and reflect on how they apply as a Sergeant Major and describe how you would apply them along with an accurate example to demonstrate your level of understanding through analysis, self-reflection and self-awareness. Additionally, this reflection exercise will serve as a conduit for your course capstone oral presentation (C600) that you will present during Phase III of the resident course. In reviewing the ELOs, write how you can employ the lessons learned as a graduate of the Sergeants Major Course.  For more information on Organizational-Level Leadership read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servant_leadership

This quote describes, “leading by example.” Please share examples of personal encounters of someone who wanted you to behave a certain way, but did not do so themselves. What was your response and how did it make you feel? Did it influence your performance in any way? 3. If you were in a position of leadership and wanted to facilitate change, what do you feel are the most meaningful ways you can do so in addition to leading by example?  4. Why do you think leading by example can be so difficult? “Leaders of all kinds have a fantastic tool available to them for sending a subtle message about the behavior they are trying to encourage. They simply have to model that behavior themselves. And if they do not, the message to those around them will be loud and clear: “I’ll tell you I want you to behave in such a way, but it’s not actually that important. Otherwise, I would do it myself.”  short answer between three to four sentences  For more information on Facilitate Change read this:

Address all three of the following points in your response, and response should be at least 300 words:· Did group members differentiate facts from opinions? How was this accomplished?· Were the group norms favorable to bringing out all the relevant information in the decision-making process? Were decisions based on enough facts, or did the group settle for consensus among opinions?· What were the group norms for rules of decision making? Did everyone get an equal vote, or did one person (e.g., the leader) have the final say? Did the group discuss the process on how it would come to a decision, and at what point in the decision-making process did they do this?                                                                  References Balthazard, P.
