Power, Influence, and Authority: Knowing the Difference exercise
The purpose of this exercise is to help you explore the differences between power, influence, and authority, understand how each plays a role in leadership, and reflect on how you can effectively use these concepts in your leadership style.
ASSIGNMENT 01: Write a Personal Reflection Essay
In this 1-2 page reflection, consider where you see yourself in the current landscape of workplace inequality. Reflect on the challenges and opportunities you face, and how your personal leadership identity—captured in your “I Am” statement—aligns with your goals. This is your opportunity to think critically about your position as a leader and how you can contribute to creating a more equitable workplace.

This tool will provide you with valuable insights into your top strengths. Understanding these strengths is essential for guiding your leadership development and ensuring you can lead with confidence and purpose.
These assignments are designed to help you reflect on your personal and professional growth, and to prepare you for the next steps in your leadership journey. I look forward to hearing your insights and seeing how you apply these concepts in our upcoming sessions.
