To prepare for the Leadership in Action assignment, you should begin by reviewing the two case studies, 3.1 Case Study—Several Different Styles and 3.2 Case Study—Leading the Robotics Team in your text. Following each Case Study are questions that focus on viewing the actions of the leader through the lens of either Theory X and Theory Y, or using the leadership styles.
You may want to answer the questions in your notes to help you articulate your thoughts on the case studies to support the assignment. While you are reading, please use the chart below to record specific examples of the leaders using the X and/or Y theory and specific leadership styles as you will also need the examples to complete the Leadership in Action assignment. (This is just telling you what section to read it’s not part of the assignment. I’m just adding it from a separate post from the teacher)
For this assignment you will evaluate the leadership shown in two different case studies. The first, Case 3.1—Several Different Styles, shares a scenario where an employee in a bank, Vanessa, has three different managers. This is not a typical situation, but it is something you may experience in a future professional setting. The second scenario described in Case 3.2—Leading the Robotics Team, the mentor for the robotics team must choose a leader from one of three students; Pria, Justin, or Jerome.
In both scenarios, the bank managers and the students display different behaviors that would be aligned with Theory X or Theory Y, as well as a style most similar to one of the three of Lewin’s Leadership styles. You will share your understanding of the examples of leadership in two ways. First, you will share the completed chart showing examples for each of the managers and students. As the individuals described in the case studies will likely lean toward one of the two theories and one of the three leadership styles, some of the squares will be blank if the person did not demonstrate the theory or leadership style.
Download the template Download templateyou should use to complete this assignment here:
Record examples of Theory X or Theory Y for the three bank managers and the three student leaders. (5 points)
Record examples of the Authoritarian, Democratic, or Laissez-faire leadership style for the three bank managers and the three student leaders. (5 points)
Based on the assumptions of Theory X and Theory Y, how would you describe each manager’s or student’s philosophy and style of leadership? (20 points).
Based on the Authoritarian, Democratic, and Laissez-faire leadership styles how would you describe the individual leadership styles of Marion, Bruce, Vanessa, Pria, Justin, and Jerome? (20 points).
The information in the chart does not need to be in complete sentences, but your descriiption of the manager’s or student’s leadership style should be in complete sentences.
I’ll attach a template and the chapter on a word page if the link does not work.
