Principles in Practice
How our personal set of principles guides our decisions in life can have a huge impact on our business and career successes. For this assignment you will explore your sense of personal principles by reflecting on an experience in which you employed your own principles and not necessarily those of management.
Provide a real-life example of a time that you did not act according to strict policy, but rather allowed your own set of principles to guide you in making a decision. What factors influenced your decision-making process and how did you develop your set of guiding principles? Discuss how you did or can apply this lesson to your own future performance in leadership.

Personal Beliefs in Practice
Our personal growth and development throughout our lives has helped to create a set of beliefs upon which we judge all interactions, even those in business situations. Through this assignment you will reflect on an experience where you employed your own beliefs, and you will consider how they may have influenced your choices in leadership moments.
Using the worksheet you completed this week, provide a real-life example of a situation where you were asked to make a leadership decision in your personal or professional life that challenged at least one of your personal beliefs. What were the circumstances surrounding the challenge? Did you compromise your beliefs? What emotions rose to the forefront when your belief systems were challenged? What were the results of the decision and were you satisfied with the results? What changes would you make in similar future situations? Discuss how you did or can apply this lesson to your own future performance in leadership.
