Who are the most iconic emotionally agile leaders?

[edit source]

Perhaps some of them could be used for a case study? ---- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:19, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have heard mixed things about Steve Jobs. What do you reckon? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:21, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks James, this is an excellent suggestion. I did not think of the who e.g. Steve Jobs U103189 (discusscontribs) 04:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Topic development feedback

[edit source]

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. 2-level heading structure; reasonably well aligned with the sub-title and focus questions
  2. I would dispense with "Definitions" as a heading (it is a bit pedestrian); instead just embed definitions where/as needed with links to further info. Having said that, a clear definition of effective leadership will be vital
  3. Remove abbreviations from headings
  4. Consider dropping "Relevant theories" as a heading and moving up relevant theories to top-level headings
  5. "Who are the most iconic emotionally agile leaders?" - I would remove this heading; but consider whether it is useful to use any of these people as possible case studies if they illustrate key points
  6. Consider possible further development of sub-headings
  1. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided
  2. Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest. Consider abbreviating the case study and/or moving detail into a follow-up case study box in subsequent section(s)
  3. Suggest just using one image in the Overview; consider whether other images may be best placed
  4. I think drop "Who are the most iconic effective leaders?" as a focus question; see comment re this in previous section
  1. Promising development of key points for each section
  2. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) – even better, write in your own words
  3. Distinguish between effective leadership and emotionally intelligence leadership. It might help to move the core behaviours above the theories.
  4. Provide more citatations; make sure to identify the best available psychological science (theory and research) about this topic
  5. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Underway
  1. Excellent - A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited
  2. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  3. Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text
  1. Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies)
  3. Consider including quiz question(s), table(s) etc.
  1. OK; zero in on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. doi formatting
    2. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent
  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Brief description about self provided – consider expanding
  3. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and some use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Well developed
  2. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box
  3. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Clear focus questions
  1. Very good to excellent content; organisation is well chunked, but it is not so clear how the chunks weave together
  2. Expand the description of effective leadership; this is a fuzzy concept, so more consideration needed before diving into specifics
  3. Clearer conceptual distinction between EI, behaviours, skills, and traits would be ideal; it seems likely there is a consider overlap here
  4. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding more links to other chapters)
  5. Good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Effective use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  7. Key citations are well used
  8. Very good / promising use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  9. Ideally, the case study could more about how Sarah or Jacinda etc. developed effective leadership skills
  1. Reasonably good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful.
  4. Some critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  6. Claims are referenced
  1. Reasonably good integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research
  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Clear take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good to excellent
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    3. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
    4. "People" is sometimes a better term than "individuals"
    5. Use serial commas[2] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    6. Use abbreviations sparingly. Do not use abbreviations for minor terms that aren't used very much in the chapter.
    7. Figures
      1. Figures are well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
    8. Tables
      1. Table captions use close to APA style
      2. Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text
    9. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    10. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Excellent use of learning features
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles
  3. One use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Very good use of image(s)
  5. Excellent use of table(s)
  6. Excellent use of feature box(es)
  7. Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  8. Good use of case studies or examples
  9. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Include sources in parentheses
  1. ~11 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions, including contributions to Wikimedia Commons, with direct links to evidence

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation
  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed. Also narrate the title and sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
  3. A context for the topic is established
  4. Focus questions are presented on a slide, but too quickly to be read easily - consider narrating
  5. Perhaps the 4 focus questions could be simplified/reduced for the presentation?
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little
  4. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological theory
  5. The presentation makes no explicit use of relevant psychological research
  6. Include citations to support claims
  7. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies
  1. A Conclusion slide is presented with take-home message(s)
  1. The audio is easy to follow
  2. The presentation makes good use of narrated audio
  3. Audio communication is well paced
  4. Audio recording quality was very good

  2. A written description of the presentation is provided
  3. Links to and from the book chapter are provided
  4. An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided because the YouTube user account does not yet have access to advanced features
