Homework: Oriented Leadership

In this homework, your critical-thinking skills will be assessed. The critical-thinking rubric will be useful for this purpose. In this course, MGT401, critical-thinking skills will be assessed at the "introduced" level. In MGT420, they are assessed at the "reinforced" level. Finally, in MGT422 your critical thinking skills will be assessed at the "emphasized" level. The grading rubric for critical-thinking skills at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT401 SLP 3 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective homework.

Before starting this homework, be sure that you are familiar with what is meant by "critical thinking."

Critical thinking is one of the five key rubric criteria by which your homework are graded. Therefore, you are expected to demonstrate evidence of critical thinking in all homework. The following might help you to learn the concept of critical thinking.

For the Module SLP homework, you will apply the concepts from the background materials to your own personal experiences. You can write about the same supervisor you wrote about in Modules, or choose a different supervisor that you worked with and got to know well.

Question C. Describe a situation you experienced or witnessed in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a transactional approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective? What about the supervisor's behaviors marked them as a transactional leader?
