ASSIGNMENT
• Discussion Forum: Have many leaders brought out the best in you or not? What
did they typically say or do? How did they make you and others feel?
• Personal Learning Assignment (in video exercise; for details of the assignment
see the Personal Learning Assignment tab): Think of a leader you have worked
with, or for, who brought out the best in you – and a leader with whom you
worked that you try to avoid. When you remember the last few times you were
around them, what did they typically say or do, and how did this make you feel?

Additional Note: When we use the term compassion, we go beyond the typical Western
interpretation to one coming from Confucian philosophy. Compassion is the experience
of benevolence, of being open to others. It is caring for others who might be in pain
(more hedonic) or those in joy (more eudemonic) or those in search of growth
(eudemonic). For more detail and explanation of this, see the Boyatzis, Smith and
Beveridge (in press) article listed in the Recommended readings for Module 5.2.
ASSIGNMENTS
• Discussion Forum: How did the leaders who brought out the best in you make
you feel about what you were doing and why you were doing it?
• Personal Learning Assignment (personal notes or journal reflection only): (1)
Remember being around a leader who brought out the best in you, how did you
feel about what you were doing and why you were doing it? (2) The litmus test of
being an effective leader: When people leave your office, do they feel inspired,
lifted, excited? (3) Homework: Over the next two weeks, in every meeting/group
in which you are present, take a few notes about the leader’s behavior. Then
compare those in which you felt excited or inspired to those in which you felt
deflated or bored.

Discussion Forum: What do you think is the best ratio of PEA to NEA for you
right now? Why? When you engaged in the reflective exercise and thought about
the list of things others have told you that you should do or how you should
change, how did it feel? When you thought about the moments in which you were
most proud of yourself, when you were at your best, how did it feel?
Personal Learning Assignment (in video exercise; for details of the assignment
see the Personal Learning Assignment tab):
Part 1. Think of things your boss, spouse, or others have told you that you should
do and how you should change. Think of those things that you do not necessarily
think are important for you to change, especially ones that either of them have
said repeatedly to you. Make a list of these behavior, attitudes, or perspectives
you should change, from their perspective, to become more effective and a better
person.
Part 2. Think of times you were at your best, when you were excited and
effective at home or work. Make a list of the behavior, attitudes, or perspectives
you used in those events. Make a list of things people have said you should
change to be better. How did it feel while you were making this list? How did it
feel while you were remembering these moments?
