Materials Needed:
- Projector and screen
- PowerPoint slides covering the Four I’s and comparison table
- Handout with case study and implementation checklist
- Flip chart or whiteboard and markers
- Post‑it notes for brainstorming
- Exit‑ticket slips
|
Introduction:
Begin with a short video of a renowned CEO describing their vision, then ask students to share examples of leaders who inspire them. Connect this to prior learning about leadership styles and set the success criteria: students will identify transformational leadership components, link them to corporate strategy, and propose practical actions.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5'): Students write the name of a leader they admire and why; brief sharing (engage).
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Present the Four I’s with slides and discuss the transformational vs. transactional comparison (explain).
- Guided analysis (10'): In pairs, examine the case study and identify how each “I” is demonstrated (apply).
- Implementation planning (15'): Groups create an action plan using the six key steps, posting ideas on post‑its (create).
- Whole‑class debrief (10'): Groups present plans; teacher highlights alignment with strategy and the measurement model (evaluate).
- Exit ticket (5'): Students write one concrete action they will take to show transformational leadership in a future project (assess).
|
Conclusion:
Recap how transformational leadership drives strategic alignment, employee engagement, and innovation. Collect exit tickets to check understanding and assign homework: draft a one‑page vision statement for a hypothetical company that incorporates the Four I’s.
