Leadership Project
The
Task
You
will produce a written report of 3600 words (+/- 10%) that critically assesses
and evaluates your organisation and sector using organisational systems and
structures theory (vMEME) and all the types of approaches and models of
organisational strategy it contains.
Critically analyse particular leadership problems and challenges
through critical evaluation and appropriate application of theory
1.
Critically evaluate how
certain types of leadership/management styles differ depending on history,
culture, geographic life and conditions
2.
Critically evaluate how
certain types of leadership/management styles impact people performance,
productivity
3.
Critically evaluate how
certain types of leadership/management styles determine who will ‘follow and
how’.
4.
Critically evaluate your
personal leadership capabilities and critically analyse the need for future
development
Through
application of Seven Leadership Mindsets Theory (vMEME) you will have a tool
(and the skill) to critically assess and evaluate all types of organisational and sector
theories worldviews that include USA, UK, China, European countries, India,
Oman, GCC, African countries, etc. Leadership is different depending on the
relevant mindset (life conditions,
how humans individuals adapt to
successfully compete and socio-cultural elements). Inevitably leadership
mindset impacts everything in a company – strategy, people, performance,
productivity, etc.
A suggested structure for the written
report would include the following: An introduction, central core, conclusion
and set of recommendations. This assignment core can be divided into four
equally weighted sections. These have been presented as four questions.
Introduction- A short
introduction which sets out the purpose of the assignment, include a brief
overview of what will be covered, highlight a potted history of the organisation
/ department and address the current issues and sector drivers / that may be
explored.
Theory / Literature review-In
this project, it is expected that the theory and best practice is integrated in
addressing each section and sub-section. This expectation is that key theories
will be explored, evaluated and the most appropriate applied to the context of
the organisation and your leadership. This too is evaluated in terms of impact
and where you make suggestions for possible improvements.
Instruction:
Please answer all of the following questions:
1. Having considered the theory, research and
science, characteristics of organisations identify and assess:
a.
The seven structures
and systems present in your organisation
b.
Analyse and describe
how the present Leadership Value Systems and Structures in your organisation
impact on leadership, management and staff.
c.
Consider and analyse
differences to your competitors (local or global)
d.
Consider to what extent
are these differences positive points of differentiation or negative traits of
the organisation
2. Now that you
understand your organisations structure consider your organisations sector.
Critically analyse:
a.
How has your sector evolved?
b.
In what way do they differ to your
competitors (local or global)
c.
To what extent are these differences
positive points of differentiation or negative traits of the organisation
3.
Having examined change and transformation critically assess and analyse how to
ensure your organisation’s continued
growth and success, organisations need to undertake transformation and growth.
a. What
kinds of changes are taking place in your sector and what do you believe the
most successful organisations are doing to embrace the changes required to
deliver continued success?
b. To
what extent is your organisation at the forefront of this transformation (or
maybe it is trailing some of the best organisations in the sector). Give
examples of specific actions and leadership behaviours you are seeing to
underpin your view.
4. Every organisation faces challenges and problems,
which can be driven from rapid growth or serious decline. Identify and
critically assess:
a. The
top two or three big issues your organisation is facing
b. Key
actions your organisation needs to take to put it on a path of future sustainable
success.
Conclusions and recommendations:
Bring
together the core findings of both theory and best applied practice from your
organisation / experience and reflection for each of the four sections to produce a conclusion. Make recommendations on each section.
Clearly, section four has a strong element of recommendations already included,
so these should be incorporated into these conclusions. Ensure that there is
consideration of any cost-benefits anlyse and implementation change strategy.
