1 MGMT 591: Leadership and Organizational Behavior Life Styles Inventory Overview Strengthening Organizations through Individual Effectiveness “Good leaders learn their specific personal strengths and weaknesses, especially in dealing with other people, then build on the strengths and correct the weaknesses.” ~ Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done 1 2 LSI Premise The LSI is based on the knowledge that in order to understand and change behavior, we must first examine the feelings and thoughts that underlie and motivate everything we do. 3 LIFE STYLES INVENTORYTM: SELF-DESCRIPTION Results on the Life Styles Inventory are exclusively for purposes of self-improvement in the context of organizational and management development programs. Your personal profile reflects only what you have said about yourself plotted against what others have said about themselves. All styles measured by the Inventory are within the realm of normal human behaviors and personal orientations. Most managers show significant extensions along one or more defensive, security-oriented, styles. The Life Styles InventoryTM is copyrighted by Human Synergistics, © 1973, 1989, 2003 3 4 The styles are neither permanent personality characteristics nor intractable; they can change as a result of new roles, environmental changes, and personal development efforts. Development of constructive, satisfaction-oriented, styles can be beneficial with respect to personal effectiveness and individual well-being. The most effective and enduring individual change efforts are those that are self-motivated and self-directed.

Module 4 - Home SPECIAL CASES IN COACHING Modular Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes: Case Wrap up your coaching session, and receive feedback from the coachee. SLP Create a PowerPoint presentation with a voiceover to serve as a briefing of the leadership Growth Plan to your supervisor and/or mentor. Discussion Compare and contrast different approaches to coaching when working with different types of professions. Evaluate your learning and progress in developing coaching skills. Module Overview There are two types of coaching situations that present special challenges to coaches: Coaching the high performer and coaching the problem employee. Let’s face it, top performers can sometimes be difficult people. The question is how to keep them motivated while addressing some dysfunctional behaviors. People who have a high need for success do not always handle criticism well. However, for the sake of the other employees, patterns of bluntness, impatience, condescension, and sometimes bullying must be addressed. In this module, you will learn a four-step process of coaching top performers that relies on the DISC assessment, a tool frequently used in coaching executives and “C-suite” executives (CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, etc.). The focus of this process is on developing interpersonal skills, such as listening, showing respect, compromising, and discussion of ideas with tact and diplomacy. At the other end of the spectrum is coaching the problem employee. This employee is generally underperforming, and the stress of trying to extract a reasonable level of performance can take a toll on the manager and the productivity and morale of an entire office or unit. Frequently, despite the best efforts of the manager, the inevitable result is termination. However, in this chapter, we will look at a 7-step process where the leader/coach may be able to forge a positive relationship and encourage motivation and performance. Module 4 - Background SPECIAL CASES IN COACHING Required Reading Special Cases in Coaching All articles on the home page, this page and the case/SLP page are required unless otherwise noted. Coaching Top Performers Up until now, our focus has been on coaching employees to improve performance. However, with top performers, the goal is not to improve performance, but to improve interpersonal skills and relationships. Another goal is to help the top performer understand that established rules and procedures are important and also apply to him. Interpersonal skills Top performers tend to be highly driven and may resist working with others who they perceive as being less capable and less hard working. They may avoid working on teams because they feel the others will “drag them down”. Since organizations today rely heavily on interdisciplinary and cross-functional teams to get work done, top performers are going to have to be coached to be able to work ...

BUS 3451, Organizational Theory and Behavior 1 Course Learning Outcomes for Unit IV Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to: 1. Elaborate on the rational choice paradigm. 2. Explain why people differ from the rational choice paradigm when identifying problems/opportunities, evaluating/choosing alternatives, and evaluating decision outcomes. 3. Discuss the roles of emotions and intuition in decision making. 4. Determine employee characteristics, workplace conditions, and specific activities that support creativity. 5. Identify the benefits of employee involvement and the four contingencies that affect the optimal level of employee involvement. 6. Explain the benefits and limitations of teams and why employees join informal groups. 7. Discuss team competencies (teamwork, cohesion, and virtual teams). Unit Lesson Decision Making, Creativity, and Team Dynamics When we have to identify a problem, it is difficult but highly effective to view the problem as an opportunity. More and more organizations are doing exactly this as they develop training programs and examine issues that arise. In this unit, we will learn about the rational choice paradigm, which is helpful to decision making. Managing people is an art as well as a science, and when a manager can explain why people differ in opinions as they evaluate opportunities, issues, and outcomes, they will find that subordinates come to trust their open- mindedness. Simply listening is a major influence on people, but gaining their knowledge is what empowers a person in a leadership position to best identify the problem. Also, important to decision-making are the roles of creativity and control of one’s emotions. Imagine a situation where a manager did not support creativity. Where would Apple or Facebook be without the creative involvement of its organization? As we discuss aspects of successful, self-directed teams and virtual teams, we will uncover the value of many areas of the organization such as individual employee characteristics, workplace conditions, and specific activities that support creativity. Look at the case studies at the end of Chapter 7 to view many aspects of employee involvement and creative outcomes in real-life situations. As we identify the benefits of employee involvement, we will examine many contingencies that affect the optimal level of employee involvement such as those outlined in the textbook. Have you ever worked in a company where the boss did not control over his/her team simply because he/she did not lead? This occurs often, and silent or servant leaders arise. These leaders might not be the manager or director, Reading Assignment Chapter 7: Decision Making and Creativity Chapter 8: Team Dynamics Suggested Reading See information below.

Details: In earlier modules you explored the influence of self-awareness on your leadership style and established that a clear understanding of your abilities, motivation, and goals provides a firm foundation for leading others. Leadership studies demonstrate that the most effective leaders know how to draw upon self-leadership skills to in turn motivate and lead others to expand their strengths to ultimately better serve the goals of an organization. For this assignment you will look at a leadership example from contemporary media and evaluate how well the particular leader exemplifies the qualities of effective and ethical leadership. Then, you will compose your own Leadership Philosophy statement to articulate the qualities that will make you an effective leader of people and organizations.

Presentation for Mile High PMI Workshop on April 11, 2009 Abstract: This workshop will focus on the concept of leadership in organizations which use an agile development process. When people speak about agile it is common to hear terms like “no command and control,” “there is no one particular person in charge,” and “managers support rather than manage.” In this type of environment, where is there room for “leadership?” The workshop will look at leadership from several different perspectives and examine whether or not leadership is necessary. If it is necessary for leadership, where does it come from and how is it manifested? For project managers a thorough understanding of the realities of agile leadership is not a nicety, it is a necessity for success with agile projects. The workshop will consist of approximately equal parts presentation and hands on exercises.

Module 5 Assignment 1: LASA 2—Risk Management Applications While there are many factors that lead to an organization's success or failure, it is important to identify the risk associated with the endeavor—financial or nonfinancial. Once the risks have been identified, management has a responsibility to develop measures to mitigate those risks. Tasks: Use the publicly-traded company you chose in M1 Assignment 3 and imagine it has made a strategic decision to start doing business in China. Using the discussion on page 192 of your textbook as a template, do the following: Develop a brief country risk assessment. Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks associated with doing business in China. What are the most important factors to consider? Why? After years of keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar, the Chinese have recently allowed it to float freely in international currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’ standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain. Your paper should be about 2,000 words.

Montana 1948 Text Response Paper Symbolism in Literature A basic definition of a “symbol” is provided by teacherweb: Symbol : using an image to represent an idea. (Ex. Storms often symbolize impending disaster, red rose=love, dove=peace, black cat=bad luck, etc.). This is often accomplished in literature through metaphors and similes. Wordnet defines the term “metaphor” as: (n) Metaphor - a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity. His heart was ripped from him by her cruelty and refusal to be his date at prom. His universe was collapsing around him, pieces thudding into his head and crushing all motive and happy thought. Wordnet defines the term “simile” as: (n) Simile a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds, usually formed with `like' or `as.' He wept like a little girl who lost her favorite Barbie. He vowed, next time, to fight like a tiger to win her love or at least a date. (a simile typically offers a comparison signal, i.e. “like” or “as.”) The novel Montana, 1948 by Larry Watson is filled with powerful symbolism. Your assignment for this essay is to choose one of the Review questions (included here) and write 3 page response. Be sure to: explain the symbolism, using details from the novel to illustrate. Then, explain to the reader if and why this is still relevant today. You’ll assume the role of “teacher” in this essay, explaining to your reader how symbolism works in literature using Montana, 1948 to illustrate. Be careful and avoid simply summarizing the story. We know the story. We want the symbolic meaning. Remember, if you use any passages from the novel, you must cite it in text and include a works cited page as your final page. Rough Draft due: Monday, March 4 Format: MLA Length: 3 pages (approx.. 750 words) Essay Questions 1. Disappointment is a major aspect of Montana 1948 . Discuss examples of disappointments faced by three different characters. Be sure to provide analytical “whys” in your response. 2. Explain why the narrator's mother "feared for my soul." What exactly was she afraid of? 3. What could the narrator's mother's fear of disease be a larger symbol of? How did she face it (p. 15)? 4. What do fences symbolize (p. 27)? 5. Considering the following passage about Ollie Young Bear, discuss reasons why he could not find humor in the world. Mr. Young Bear, as my father insisted I call him, was a stern, censorious man. He was physically imposing-- tall, barrel-chested, broad -shouldered, large-headed--and he never smiled. His lips were perpetually turned down in an expression both sad and disdainful. He seemed to find no humor in the world, and I have no memory of hearing him laugh (p. 49). 6. What does the wind symbolize? What does it mean when it blows on page 53 and 55? Be specific. 7. What did father and mother feel about grandfather's ho.

Module 5 CRJ 307: Police, Society, and Community Service Essays: Police deviance is said to be behavior that does not conform to the standards of norms or expectations. Identify and discuss the three major sources of those standards. Is one source more important than the others? Worden identified five ways in which police officers are different from one another. List and discuss those five ways. Contrast socialization theory and pre-dispositional theory. Module 5 Chapter 8 Summary Chapter 8 looks at police behavior. Police behavior may be described from a universalistic perspective or a particularistic perspective. The universalistic perspective examines the ways in which police are similar. The particularistic perspective examines the way in which police differ from each other. The universalistic perspective approaches police behavior from three perspectives. The sociological perspective emphasizes the social context in which the police are hired and trained. The psychological perspective examines the nature of the police personality. The organizational perspective is concerned with the formal and informal factors of the department. Particularistic perspectives examine the different policing styles discovered through research. Worden (1989) suggests that there are five ways in which police differ from one another. Police are different in their view of human nature, role orientation, and attitudes toward legal and departmental restrictions. Worden also found that the beliefs and behavior of the police are influenced by their clientele. The final difference involves the relationship between management and peer group support. Socialization theory maintains that it is the work experience and the peers that determine police behavior. The formal socialization takes place during training the new officer. The informal socialization takes places as the new officer interacts with experienced fellow officers.

Moose, a former professional athlete, now supplements his income by signing autographs at collectors’ shows.

Compute the accuracy-related and civil fraud penalties in this matter. Explain your answer, as necessary. .
