Task

In this assessment you will identify three key ‘moments of truth’ that have affected your
sense of leadership (either positively or negatively) and create an A3 sized
poster/infographic using tools such as rich picture and/or mind map.

You are required to link the ‘moments of truth’ to the theoretical perspectives contained in
the topics covered in this subject as a minimum, but also to explore whatever other
associations are relevant.

Context

A mind map is a visual tool used to organize and structure information. It is a graphical
representation of ideas, concepts, or tasks, which are arranged in a hierarchical or branching
pattern, with the main idea or topic at the centre and subtopics radiating out from it. They
are designed to help individuals see the relationships between ideas and concepts, and to
help them organize and remember information more effectively.

Mind maps can be created by starting with a central idea or theme, and then adding related
ideas and concepts around it, using colors, images, and other visual elements to represent
different types of information.

Here is an example of a mind map:

The second tool that you might consider using is a ‘rich picture’, which can be used either in
combination with mind map or separately. A rich picture is a visual representation of a
complex situation, typically created using drawings, symbols, and text. It is used to capture
and communicate multiple perspectives, concerns, and issues related to a problem or
situation.

Rich pictures are often used in systems thinking and organizational analysis to help
stakeholders explore and understand complex situations. They are designed to be inclusive,
allowing different stakeholders to contribute their views and concerns in a non-threatening
way. The resulting picture provides a holistic view of the situation, highlighting the
interconnectedness of different factors and relationships.

Rich pictures can be created using a variety of techniques, including drawing, painting, or
collage, and can be adapted to suit the needs of different audiences and contexts. They are

a useful tool for facilitating dialogue and collaboration, and can help to identify common
ground, points of conflict, and opportunities for action.

Here is an example of rich picture:
