Question: Today's leaders address increasingly complex challenges: globalization, the emergence of team functioning and structures, and economic downturns, to name a few. These issues call for leaders who can embrace change and cultural diversity. Organizational psychology theorists and professionals look at leadership styles that are transactional (focused on work tasks and employees' ability to perform them) and transformational (focused on changing employees' lives and abilities, based on vision and personal charisma).
The question of what makes an individual a good leader has fueled much research and debate in organizational psychology. Are leadership skills innate, or can one learn to be a great leader through education, professional development, and perseverance? In this Assignment, you review factors related to the leadership process.
To prepare:
• Read "Activity 8-3: Donny is My Leader."
• Consider the "Donny is My Leader" case from specific theoretical perspectives
With these thoughts in mind:
