Instructions for Glyph Drawing:
Face Shape: If you believe that leadership is an inborn trait,
draw a triangle-shaped head. If you
think that leadership stems from nurture over nature, draw a square-shaped
head.
Eyes: If you think the vast majority of OTs are leaders, make
big circles for the eyes. If you think
there is a fairly equal mixture of leaders and non-leaders in the field of OT,
draw small circles for the eyes. Fill in the pupils. Add glasses if you feel that you have had more experience in leadership roles than
most other people your age at this point in life.
Eyelashes: Draw one eyelash on each of the eyes for each of the
five themes you can name based on your personal Clifton StrengthsFinder
assessment from earlier in the curriculum.
Eyebrows: If you like to take the role of the leader in an
out-in-front way, make curved eyebrows.
If your leadership style is more behind the scenes, make pointy
eyebrows.
Nose: Draw a triangle nose if you think that seeing yourself as
a leader is necessary to being a leader.
Draw a rounded nose if you believe that a person can be a leader without
seeing himself or herself as a leader.
Skin: Add a freckle
anywhere on the skin of the face if you believe that self-awareness is vital to
effective leadership. Leave the skin
clear if you don’t think it’s an essential trait.
Mouth: Draw a smiling mouth if you can think of at least one
leader who has had a positive impact on you.
Draw a frown if you can’t think of a good example of a leader.
Ears: Draw round ears if you think technology is an important
part of effective leadership in many situations. Draw pointy ears if don’t
think so.
Hair: Draw the hair based on a continuum, based on your
personal viewpoint in two areas:
What’s more important
in leadership: Curly
hair <-------------------------> Straight hair
creativity or organization?
Creativity <--------------------------> Organization
AND
Can an introvert be an
effective leader? Short hair
<-------------------------> Long hair
No way
<------ I’m unsure -----> Definitely yes
Accessories: Add at least one accessory (example: a piece of
jewelry) if you see yourself as a leader.
Add a hat if the way you think about or approach leadership has changed
as a result of what you have learned since beginning in OT school.
Finishing Touch: Label your paper with your name, writing in
cursive if you have a written plan or goal about to serving in leadership roles
in the future; write in print if you do not yet have a written plan.
