Tips for Task 2:
Organization and Leader Analysis
Please use the following tips to help you
complete your leadership analysis.
Write this paper in third person.
Read through the entire task
instructions and rubric requirements prior to completing task 2.
Use a different scholarly
leadership theory in task 2 than the one chosen in task 1. (Do not use Transfomational Leadership Theory)
The current leader that you choose
must be someone other than yourself.
You are encouraged to create a cover
page, a table of contents, headings, and subheadings.
The paper should be 10–16
pages, not including cover page and references. Please be both
descriptive (who, what, when, and where), and explanatory (why and how).
Evaluators assess your paper based on the specificity of your response,
not on the generalizations.
Note: Meeting the rubric criteria is
more important than writing a number of pages*** (Rubric is attached)
A. Organization Description
Describe an existing organization with
which you have had personal experience and where you have either had direct
access to a leader or have been able to observe a leader. Describe the organization’s
objectives. The organization can be a for-profit or a nonprofit business, and
you may represent any level of the organization (e.g., the team, department,
division, or whole) in your analysis.
You must change the name of the
organization and employee names.
Provide a detailed discussion of the
organization.
Discuss the history and background
of the organization.
Discuss the vision and mission of
the organization.
Discuss the purpose and objectives
of the organization. Think of the goals, financial objectives, and
strategic objectives of the organization.
Provide citations where needed.
A1. Leadership Practices
In this section, you
will provide specific descriptions of three leadership practices of the current
leader. The current leader must be someone other than yourself.
Provide specific examples that
illustrate the practice.
Cleary state the leaders title and
(fictitious) name. The leader analyzed in A1 will be the same leader
analyzed in C1, C2, and C3.
Write a separate paragraph on each
of the three practices.
Note: A leadership practice (or function)
is different from a leadership theory. This section, A1, only discusses
practice, not theory.
Example: One leadership practice of the CEO is to provide strategic leadership
to the organization. In the performance of this responsibility, the CEO forms
the organization’s vision and mission, while forming and implementing strategy.
The value of strategic leadership is determining the organization’s direction
by effectively managing the organization’s resources in pursuit of the
organization’s vision. (This is a small draft of the leadership
practice narrative. You are required to illustrate further how the individual
performs the leadership responsibility and what value the responsibility
provides to the organization).
A2. Effects of Current Leader
on Culture
In
this section, discuss how the current leader of the organization has affected
the culture based on his or her underlying beliefs, assumptions, and values.
A leader’s values and beliefs shape the culture of an organization.
Organizational culture is defined as the underlying beliefs, assumptions,
values, and ways of interacting that contribute to the unique social and
psychological environment of an organization.
Describe
how the leader has affected the organization’s culture in a positive or
negative manner.
Provide
examples to support your analysis.
