Discussion Question #1
Identify three (3) possible dissertation research topics related to
organizational leadership. Make sure your topics are current and

student performance?

Leadership traits and beliefs. How does personality types,

2. Leadership issues that arise in schools are many across the

As school leaders, principals can influence student achievement
in several ways, such as hiring and firing of teachers,
monitoring instruction and maintaining student discipline,
among many others. When leadership influence is not positive
but seen in a negative way what are the effects on subordinates?
Serving others comes from a form of servitude and passion for a
cause. Robert Greenleaf states, “The servant-leader is servant
first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve.
Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. The best test
is: do those served grow as persons; do they, while being
served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more
likely themselves to become servants?” (Spears,2005).
Non-profit organizations volunteers can be tough to maintain.
Leadership in non-profit organizations must continually inspire
their workers with a passionate and charismatic approach. Some
can be dedicated to the cause but not the organization, needing
tangible evidence of the changes they are making in the lives of
others. Volunteer do not depend on the organization for steady
income. Innovative ideas to keep the passionate for the cause
and offer other incentives are important. Non -Profit leaders
face various hurdles. Financial hurdles, Operational
effectiveness, competition of resources and grants to help fund
the organization. Are servant leader the best leadership model
for non-profit organizations? (Parris & Peachey, 2013).

organizations cannot teach or be active in leadership roles.

DiscussionQu
Three possible dissertation research topics/questions are found
below combined with the reconciliation opportunities that each
topic offers regarding its influential conceptual aspects
associated with leadership.
Personal Identity
: How does personal morals, ethical standards and a leader’s
culture positively or negatively affect leadership growth? The
development of a leader is influenced by several known and
unknown antecedents. As each leader will utilize different
theories, character traits and approaches to support their

4. followers and organizations; it is imperative to examine the
circumstantial influence on this individual development. In
required reading from this week’s module, students learn the
importance of the psychodynamic approach. This leadership
approach is commonly utilized by leaders to “encourage leaders
and followers to become aware of their own personality types
and those of the people with whom they work in order to better
understand their own behavior and the responses” received
(Northouse, P. G., 2012). This topic addresses the question or
theme of self-identification and self-awareness. As a leader if
you do not possess awareness can you ever claim to be a
successful leader? In current events, Americans can call into
question Trump’s personal identity and how it negatively
affects his leadership skills as his lack of awareness is causing
immense suffering.
EI vs SI:
Would it be more beneficial to have a leader of an organization
have emotional intelligence versus social intelligence? In past
assignments, emotional intelligence is discussed and identified
as an important and influential concept regarding leadership.
“The domain of social intelligence relates to center genres of
emotional intelligence i.e. self-aware, humanistic, sociable and
self-satisfying and thus necessitate emphasizing these genres in
the fields which involve human interaction” (Khodadady, E., &
Hezareh, O., 2016). Working closely to the border of Mexico,
is it important as a leader to possess social intelligence
regarding the effects of the commute into the United States and
the ramifications it would cause to terminate someone who is
consistently tardy due to the above?
Gender/sexuality
: In a society that is redefining gender roles, gender identities
and sexual orientation; would a specific gender identity or
sexual identity positively or negatively affect leadership and
their followers? “Diversity and inclusion depend first and
foremost on leadership at the top” (Vogt, L., 2013). According

5. to this article, the stimulus of diversity starts with the concept
of leadership. This purports that the more sundry a leader is
assumed to be; followers or subordinates will be able to better
identify with their leader which in-turn could support the
success of the team as a whole. As we have yet to see a female
president as a leader in the United States, other countries have
already participated in the movement of comprisal. Women,
people of color and minorities have had to fight for inclusion.
These group are currently still struggling for acceptance. Newer
groups related in the LGBT community, sexual identities and
those who do not identify with standard gender roles are now
pushing for involvement in a community with a biased
construct.
