SessionThis discussion provides an opportunity
to connect your personalized leadership strengths
and motivation with your skills as a leader to
further develop into an efficient change agent.
Being an effective leader who successfully
implements change in a school or other
organization can be a challenge! Kouzes and
Posner (2007) claimed leadership is an
identifiable set of skills that are available to
all of us, not just a few charismatic men and
women (p.20). While this may be true, it takes
work and inspiration to learn about yourself and
the characteristics that build an effective
leader. There are multiple theories that indicate
that effective leaders can be cultivated through
the deliberate acquisition of certain skills
(Senge, 1990). According to Senge (1990,
p.3)organizations where people continually
expand their capacity to create the results they
truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of
thinking are nurtured, where collective
aspiration is set free, and where people are
continually learning to see the whole together.

By cultivating these abilities and knowing our
own strengths, we can become leaders who can have
a significant impact on our classroom, school
site, or other organization. You previously read
chapter two of Buczynski and Hansen (2014), which
discussed the various types of leadership and the
mix of behaviors and other skills that are
necessary to be an effective leader. Lord and
Hall, as cited in Buczynski and Hansen (p. 57)
suggest the leadership role must become part of
ones self-identity. Chapter two is an effective
source of information for this discussion as
well.Digital poster presentations are
increasingly the norm in the field of education
as well as other professions. The use of
technology in these types of forums is becoming
essential in staying updated and competitive in
the field. It is essential that you have
experience in creating a digital poster
presentation. Here you imagine you are presenting
a high quality digital presentation to a group of
key stakeholders regarding your action research.
Therefore, the purpose of this discussion is to
link your personalized leadership motivation into
your skills as a leader in order to further
develop into an efficient change agent. In this
case, the change you are instigating is conducted
through your action research. This process, in
turn, greatly affects your followers, and the
organization in which you work. Being motivated
to understand and invest in your strengths and
areas of challenges greatly informs your practice
(Rath Conchie, 2008).Initial Post Imagine you
are selected from a large pool of applicants to
participate in a distinguished conference poster
session focusing on leadership strategies in
action research. Your goals are to create a one
page digital poster that includes three
leadership and motivation themes identified from
this weeks readings and your experiences,
including a one-sentence explanation of each
selected theme, and stating the ways leadership
and motivational traits are represented in your
action research study. Be sure to design the
poster so that it is professional in appearance
and therefore appropriate for presentation at the
conference poster session. As you create your
poster, consider what you have learned about what
makes professional presentations effective and
appealing to an audience. In this case, there
will be well-known authors, experts in the field,
and influential participants present including
stakeholders in your own action research study.
Use Glogster, Word, PowerPoint, or other software
of your choice to create the poster and post the
link to the flyer in your initial post or attach
the poster to your initial post, whichever is
most appropriate for the technology you
chose.Guided Response As an instructional
leader, you are embedding your leadership and
motivational traits into your own continuous
development as you complete this course and move
towards the attainment of your own professional
goals. Your action research is a part of this
continuous development. For responses to this
discussion, review the digital posters created
and posted by your classmates in the discussion
board. You are to select at least two to provide
constructive feedback on the followinga.    the
content,b.    how leadership would affect the
change process, andc.    use of effective
technology and/or critique of layout, design, and
use of graphics in
