This Discussion Provides An Opportunity To Connect Your Personalized L This 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 organization can be challenging. Kouzes and Posner (2007) argued that “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 requires effort and inspiration to understand oneself and the qualities that contribute to effective leadership.

The purpose of this discussion is to link your personalized leadership motivation to your skills as a leader to advance your development as an effective change agent. The change enacted through your action research influences your followers and your organizational environment. Motivating yourself to understand and leverage your strengths, as well as addressing areas for growth, profoundly shapes your practice (Rath & Conchie, 2008). Your initial post will involve imagining your participation in a distinguished conference poster session focused on leadership strategies in action research. Your task is to create a one-page digital poster that highlights three leadership and motivation themes derived from this week's readings and your experiences. For each theme, include a one-sentence
