2.)  How do you tend to respond when you are defensive? Describe your typical pattern of behavior from the moment you get defensive in an interaction to the time when you are no longer feeling defensive?

Casual vs effective thinking debate
Now you know a bit about causal thinking and effectual/entrepreneurial thinking. Take a side, and then post why you believe that your choice is the best way to develop a solution to your organization’s problem. Remember to support your position with a citation or two.
Hint: If everyone chooses one side then the debate will be very lack luster. The grading is on the debate not a character judgment of your selection.

It is suggested that leaders find their origin through power and influence. If this is true then it would suggest that one cannot be a leader if they have no followers. Looking at your own experiences and from the scholarly writing of others, post your thoughts. Does a leader have to garner a following to be considered a leader or in the modern context is there another answer?

In the reading for this unit, The Courageous Follower writes that “assuming responsibility for our personal development begins with self-assessment” (p. 37). In that spirit I would like you to look at the quadrants in the graphic shown on page 39 which describes 4 followership styles (the Implementer, the Partner, the Resource, and the Individualist). Do a self-assessment of your own followership style in your current environment. Which of the following 4 styles most closely matches you and why? Are you satisfied with this current style or do you strive for change and if so which style would that be?
