Activity 1 Theme One: Leadership style has a direct effect on employee
commitment and organizational effectiveness.
Take the
leadership style quizzes below.
What's Your
Leadership Style
What Kind of
Leader Are You?
Discuss the
results and how leadership style can affect employee commitment and
organizational effectiveness. Be sure to define in your own words,
employee commitment and organizational effectiveness before showing how the
leadership style relates to the two concepts. Also, discuss how style affects
communication, employee input, morale and goals with respect to commitment and
organizational effectiveness.
For example, a
person with an authoritarian style might communicate only those ideas they he
is she deems important for an employee to know. This can lead to inaccurate
execution of tasks or morale issues.
Learning
Activity 2 Theme Two: Leadership style should fit the person, the
organization, and the job. It should be situational in nature.
You are the
Package Distribution Manager for GDD. It has come to your attention that five
drivers in your region have serious errors in their delivery report logs. The
delivery report is key to controlling package flow and must be accurate. If
not, GDD will not be paid by their clients and would quickly lose their
business to Fed Ex or UPS. One of the drivers accounts for 60% of the errors.
She is a nice person, reliable but occasionally late to work because of
conflicts with getting her kids to school on time. She is a single mother. A
second driver accounts for 30% of the errors. This driver is new to the company
and while his error numbers are high they have declined from last month. The
other driver’s errors hover around 10 to 15%.
After taking the
quizzes below and using the course readings to delve deeper into your
leadership style, answer the following questions using the style that is
indicated in the test results.
How will you go about correcting the problem? Will you meet with the workers
individually? in a group? What will you say and how will you get the workers to
listen?
After your conversation, what would you do if the next set of reports show some
improvement in the 60% employee but none in the 10-15% employees? What would
you do then?
What leadership style did you use? Was it easy to use the leadership style? Or
Hard? Did you find that the leadership style might not really be helpful in
your approach to each situation? Do you believe another style might be better
in one or the other of the situations? If so which one and why? If not, why
not?
