Homework: Written Communication, Introduced level- Situational Approaches to Leadership

In this homework, your written communication skills will be assessed. The Communication rubric will be useful for this purpose. In MGT401, written communications skills will be assessed at the "introduced" level. In LED402, written communication skills will be assessed at the "reinforced" level. Finally, in MGT420, your written communication skills will be assessed at the "emphasized" level. The skills needed in these three homeworks build on each other and offer you the opportunity to enhance and practice your written communication skills. The grading rubric for written communication at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT401 SLP 2 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective homeworks. (Students can find the rubric to an homework from the course homepage under Module Activities, then clicking on the Dropbox link, then looking in lower right-hand corner for the rubric.)

For the Module SLP homework, you will continue to apply the concepts from the background materials to your own experiences in the workplace. Think carefully about Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership model and the four leadership styles of Directing, Coaching, Supporting, and Delegating. Then consider the styles of one of the supervisors you have worked with, and reflect upon whether or not their style changed depending on the situation.

According to Lacey (2021) the developmental levels in the Situational Leadership model are:

Development level 1 (D1): Employee has low competence but high commitment. Development level 2 (D2): Employee has some competence but low commitment. Development level 3 (D3): Employee has high competence and variable commitment. Development level 4 (D4): Employee has high competence and high commitment" (p. 6).

After doing some reflects on your own experiences, and reviewing the background materials, write a 2 full-page paper (excluding title and references pages) addressing the following issues:

A. Which of these levels best describes the developmental level of your supervisor's full team?

B. How would you describe the tasks required of your supervisor's full team? Are they structured or unstructured?

C. Overall, how well does your supervisor's leadership style match with the developmental level of their team and the characteristics of the team's tasks? Consider the Situational Leadership model for developmental level and the Path-Goal model for task characteristics in your answer.

D. Last, include 2 recommendations for how your supervisor could change their leadership style.
