Homework assignment #5 – Leadership Images: Shaping the Culture: Imagine that you have just been hired as chief executive of the organization you would most like to lead. Select one piece of art (painting, sculpture, decorative glass, etc.) to display in your office that best conveys (a) the image you want to project of yourself as a leader and (b) the organizational values and culture that you hope to foster in your new role. Prepare a Power Point of the object and be prepared to describe both the image of leadership and the organizational culture you hope to foster and why you think this particular work of art conveys those ideas. Select your art from your own collection (of real art or pictures in books), from a local museum (museum shops often sell postcards of works from their collections or you may take digital photos where permitted), or from one of the world’s great museums by taking a virtual tour of their collections. Submit in Brightspace, due November 30. Be creative! Have fun!
