Organizational Leadership Analysis (20 points). The use of
your own organization for this assignment is recommended (You can change the
name). You may also use another organization in which you have sufficient
knowledge. This assignment will not be shared with anyone and will remain
confidential.
The idea for this assignment is to apply, compare and
contract what you have learned thus far, with your current organization. Again,
this assignment will not be shared with anyone and will remain confidential.
The purpose of this assignment is twofold: (1) to judge your
organization with respect to its leadership style(s), and (2) to apply what you
have learned about leadership and decision making (intuition and rational) to
create improvements.
The first part of this assignment requires you to apply the
theories presented in this course, the resources from the literature review and
additional sources to analyze your organization’s effectiveness in relationship
to its leadership. Unfortunately, some leaders “lose their way” to the extent
that their actions do not remotely connect with their leadership style. Others,
craft their leadership styles around “actions” and “things” they value, not the
organizational values themselves. Questions you need to ask are: “How does the
performance of my leaders align with the organization and fulfill its
leadership style?” The second part of this assignment is to propose ways to
better connect or improve the relationship between the leadership and performance
of your organization. Remember that you need to provide some background
information about your organization.
•Provide a profile of your organization that includes its
vision, mission, goals and structure.
•Describe the organizational model and leadership styles,
and compare them to those presented in this course.
•Analyze the actions of your leaders and compare them to the
intent of the organization’s vision. Use your knowledge of leadership, and
organizational theory to form conclusion.
•Make judgments about the vision and performance of your
organization and provide solutions for improvement, if required. (This may
require crafting of a new vision.)
Please remember that this is a scholarly paper, and not an
opportunity to vent. Your opinion is not as important as the factual
information you discover and support with research. This assignment is a
research paper 8-10 pages long and written in current APA style. Use a minimum
of 10 references in addition to the course texts. You may wish to search the
Internet, review professional literature, and/or use the NSU online library.
