What makes him such an icon of history is his passion to influence those around him. "Perhaps the most interesting and potentially useful part of Franklin's autobiography is his description of his self improvement project" (Murphy 2009).

First, I’m going to analyze and interpret Wooden’s style of leadership and discuss which styles I believe that he has possessed throughout his life. In my opinion, Wooden has practiced multiple styles of leadership, among them being: visionary, coaching, affiliative, and democratic, all of which are considered to be resonant styles of leadership.

Final Integrative Paper Personality was one of my first classes as a Graduate student and I enjoyed it thoroughly. This class was essential and beneficial for me to become a successful counselor. This course also took me on a journey that helped me in an active and meaningful way to develop my own personal theory about the concept of self-efficacy that lies at the center of Albert Bandura’s self-cognitive theory that will impact the counseling services I will be providing related to Marriage and Family Counseling. Self-efficacy stood out to me in this course because Bandura’s theory emphasizes the role of observational learning, social experience, and reciprocal determinism in the development of personality.
