Prompt
This week's discussion question is, "In your view, which leadership theory has the greatest practical application? Why?" (Look back at all the leaders you have encountered and consider which to be the most successful; utilize this in relationship to the concepts you have studied.)
Prompt
Utilizing the GetAbstract database, search for a book on a topic related to this week's readings or "What Did I Learn" pgs 496 - 498. The review should be 3-4 pages in length, 12-point Times New Roman font, and double-spaced. This page count does not include the title page, tables, graphics, or reference pages. In addition, submit the final copy as a .doc or .pdf. This paper is in APA format.
Why did you select the book?
What are the reasons for the research?
Concepts that are discussed and how do these relate to the class topic?
Do you agree/disagree with the author's hypotheses?
Any assumptions within the book?
Conclusions?
There was an error in the course rebuild, so I am posting my own discussion question. There is a significant difference between leaders and managers, but these terms or roles are often used interchangeably.
How do you define leaders? How do you define managers? What has your experience been with each of these?
My requirements are more flexible this week due to the error, but please answer each question fully!
Read and Analyze, "Zappos CEO Asks Employees to Commit to Teal, or Leave", pages 628-630.
Case Study
Work through the steps within the Case Study
Respond to Step 3 and ensure you provide recommendations and develop an action plan for implementing your recommendations
Minimal Requirements for Case Study Responses:
Identify the key and underlying issues (This is not a simple listing, but more of an in-depth analysis on how these apply to the concepts and theories you have learned within this course)
Develop the key facts to support the issues (This will require some thought with the expectation that you will only list pertinent data)
Discuss the solutions to the questions and how to implement this to become more effective (This is an analysis of the problem within the paper; make efforts to support your solutions with references from the textbook, readings, or other sources)
Demonstrate that you understand the topic and data by linking the theories and concepts highlighted in the textbook with your paper response
