Summarize the major principles of the chosen theories and the potential impact on empowerment and emotional intelligence.

You are a manager in a large company, and you are assigned to a mentor. Your mentor is very excited that you are taking this particular course and has therefore asked you to develop and share your own personal theory of leadership. Your mentor wants to make sure that your personal development is grounded in theory and practice and so has asked you to first demonstrate the foundation of your leadership approach. To do this, you will choose three theories—a combination of classic and contemporary—that you have studied in this course, in addition to selecting three leaders who exemplify your chosen theories. You will analyze each theory for its strengths and weaknesses and evaluate the leaders you have identified in relation to those theories. You will also identify and discuss three leaders who are anti-exemplary, as they will be used in the analysis portion of your project (shown in section II. C. below). You will use the concepts and lessons from this part of the final project to inform the second part, in which you apply the theories to an organization and articulate your personal leadership philosophy. Your work must address these critical elements: I. Introduction Introduce your three chosen theories and three chosen leaders that you identified, which align with those chosen theories. Be sure to provide a brief explanation of why you have selected these in particular. How do they apply to your personal leadership style or the development of one? II. Analysis of Established Theories A. Theories Review 1. Summarize the major principles of the chosen theories and the potential impact on empowerment and emotional intelligence. 2. Explain how these major principles look through the lenses of those in the roles of power and influence in an organization. B. Theories Critique 1. Analyze the strengths of the three theories and their potential impacts on the individuals, groups, and organizational levels. 2. Analyze the weaknesses of the three theories and their potential impacts on the individuals, groups, and organizational levels. C. Theories Application 1. Evaluate the effectiveness of the leadership styles of the leaders who exemplify your selected theories. For instance, what aspects of their leadership styles align with your identified leadership theories? 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of the leadership styles of the leaders who are the anti-exemplary of your selected theories. For instance, what aspects of their leadership style(s) do not support your identified leadership theories? 3. Apply the selected leadership theories to your past or present organizational context. This is where you think about the interplay of the selected leadership theories and the individual, group, and organizational levels of your past or present organizational context. III. Conclusion Summarize how the theories can alter organizational decision making in relation to roles of power and influence, especially in relationship to your own personal leadership style. Guidelines for Submission: Your submission should be 4 to 5 pages in length (in addition to title page and references) and should use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.

Write 2-3 paragraphs explaining what aspects of the summary are weak and/or inappropriate for a summary, and what can be done to improve it.

Part of the reading for this week touched on how to write an effective summary of a work. This is a skill that can come in handy when needing to bring an audience up to speed on a subject or outside work quickly. However, writing summaries isn’t always easy. It’s up to you to identify the core concept of a work, what’s important for the audience to know, and what details you can leave out. Step One: Read this Links to an external site.brief article Download brief articlefrom SIUC Writing Center on what makes an effective summary. Step Two: With the article and your readings from this week in mind, take a look at the below poorly crafted summary of the film “John Wick.” In the film John Wick, Keanu Reeves takes matters into his own hands after his dog is murdered and his car is stolen. It was terrible what happened to him. Luckily, he’s actually a retired hit man, and seeks vengeance on the Russian mobsters who caused his grief. There’s also a female assassin who tries to stop him along the way but doesn’t succeed. As the poster says, “Don’t set him off.” He ultimately gets his revenge, which makes the film worth it. Step Three: Write 2-3 paragraphs explaining what aspects of the summary are weak and/or inappropriate for a summary, and what can be done to improve it. Your document should: Be 12 pt, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and double spaced. Consist of paragraphs that are at least 3-4 sentences each.

Assuming that they have their child’s best interests in mind, why are they behaving as they are?

While a mutually respectful relationship may be the norm, there are also times when conflicts arise. Begin by reviewing Figure 15-6 on page 425 of your course text. Next, review the following scenario: You have decided to take the children in your care on a field trip to the local library. You have received the approval of your program’s director and secured funds from your community partners for transportation. You provided the children with several reminders that their permission slips must be signed and returned or they will not be allowed to go on the field trip. You even placed phone calls to the parents who have not returned the permission slips by the due date. Many of the children have submitted their permission slips, with one exception. The morning of the field trip, you place the child in the room of a colleague and attend the field trip with the other children and chaperones. The next morning, the irate mother calls the program director and says that (a) you are unfair; (b) you knew she would let her child attend; (c) she never received the permission slip; (d) she did not listen to the voicemail you left reminding her to return the permission slip; (e) she wants to have a conference with you and the director. 1. How will you prepare for this parent conference? 2. Describe how you would apply the five steps, outlined in Figure 15-6, to this scenario. I HAVE ATTACHED FIGURE 15-6 BELOW TO HELP WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT Figure 15-6. Five steps for working through conflicts. In a Conflict with a Parent? Five Steps to Take: Analyze 1. Analyze your own feelings. Why do you feel so strongly about this issue? Are you emotionally involved? Has this become a power struggle? Are factors other than the child’s best interests entering into your thinking about the conflict? If so, what are they? Imagine a walk in their shoes 2. Put yourself in the parents’ shoes. What are they thinking, and why might they look at the situation the way they do? Assuming that they have their child’s best interests in mind, why are they behaving as they are? Confer with a colleague 3. Check out your perceptions. Find a friend or colleague whom you respect but who often sees things differently from you. Describe the situation as objectively as you can. Can your colleague give you any insight into why you and the parent are at odds? Meet 4. Arrange to meet with the parent. Make all preconference communications as friendly and unthreatening as possible. Do not get drawn into playing out the dispute before you meet. If you are very angry, have someone else look at your notes before you send them or role-play with a colleague what you will say. Brainstorm solutions 5. Avoid coming to the conference with a prearranged solution. Learn more about the parents’ viewpoint. Try to be nonjudgmental. Negotiate. Try to come up with a solution that meets the child’s needs. Try to agree at least on the next step.

What would be your plan of action to address each of the above issues?

In your textbook, review CASE 1: Spanning the Globe (which was part of your reading assignment on page 290). After reading this case study, in a minimum of a two-page paper, write a narrative that answers the following questions. Fred’s comment to Eric could easily be frustration on his part but also considered a threat to sabotage Eric’s efforts to select qualified engineers to take the assignment to Mexico. What would you do, and why? Fred has been a valuable employee, excelling in his international assignment, but he now is experiencing possible burnout and frustration over the extension of the assignment beyond the original agreements. A major reason for the delay is that he did not effectively get the job done because of lengthy delays stemming from his hesitation to hand things over to host country engineers. He was also ineffective in adapting to host country officials and regulations. How would you address this with Fred? Eric recognizes that Juanita Roberto, vice president of HR, is pushing for budget reductions and is advocating a do-more-with-less philosophy in the expatriate program. This includes changing pre-departure training for employees and family members. Eric’s current plan is effective, but he recognizes that a serious deficiency is the language training; it will require an increase rather than a decrease in spending. The language training is vital to success. How should Eric convince Juanita of the importance of investing in better language training for expatriates? What would be your plan of action to address each of the above issues? You must use at least two peer-reviewed articles and the textbook to support your paper. All sources used must have citations and references properly formatted in APA style. APA formatting is otherwise not required.
