Policy Analysis
All policy is part of the public exercise of power and is driven by values – whether explicitly stated or not. This two-part assignment asks you undertake an analysis of a policy in light of transformational servant leadership (TSL) characteristics and then create a leadership tool for TSL policy analysis in your organization.
Part 1

- State the policy verbatim.
- Identify the values assumed by the policy and explain these in context.
- Compare the assumed values to TSL principles.
Part 2
- Create a tool (model, flow chart, series of questions etc) to engage leadership and assist in TSL policy analysis in your organization.
- In a paragraph, explain how your tool will foster Transformational Servant-Leadership abilities and appropriate styles of leadership in your organization.
- Identify how you could enhance the tool and/or what you will do with it.
