Mastering the Course Content
In order to successfully complete this course, we recommend
17. that
you do the following before beginning:
• Be sure that you have the correct edition of the course
textbook. Check the ISBN number of your textbook
with the
ISBN number listed on the cover page of this study
guide.
• Review the table of contents at the end of this syllabus.
You will only be responsible for the chapters in the
textbook
that are listed in the table of contents.
Each study guide contains several components selected and
developed by the faculty to help you master the content of the
course. Each chapter in the study guide corresponds to a chapter
in
the textbook. Study guides vary depending on the course, but
most
will include:
Learning Objectives
Overviews
Self Tests
Summaries
Key Terms
Critical Analysis Questions (Master and doctoral
students only)
The most efficient way to complete this course is to read the
materials in both the study guide and textbook in the sequence
in
which it appears, generally from beginning to end.
Read the Overviews and Summaries
18. Before reading a chapter of your textbook, review the
corresponding
learning objectives, overview, key terms and summary sections
in
the study guide. These were prepared to give you an overview
of the
content to be learned.
Review the Self Test
After you have reviewed the study guide summaries, look at the
items
on the self test. As you identify your areas of relative strength
and
weakness, you will become more aware of the material you will
need
to learn in greater depth.
Review the Critical Analysis and/or Case Study Questions
(Master and Doctoral Students Only)
The critical analysis questions are designed to help you gain a
deeper
understanding and appreciation for the course subject matter.
This
section will encourage you to give additional thought to the
topics
discussed in the chapter by presenting vignettes or cases with
real
world relevance.
Syllabus
x
19. BAM 550 Leadership
Read and Review the Chapter
Once you have the scope and organization of the chapter in
mind,
turn to the corresponding chapter in the textbook and read the
material carefully. Keep the learning objectives, self test,
critical
analysis questions and/or case study questions in mind as you
read.
Highlight important concepts and information in your study
guide and
write notes in the study guide margins as you read. These notes
will
help you study for the unit and final examinations.
Check Your Mastery of Each Chapter
When you feel that you have mastered the concepts presented in
the
chapter, complete the study guide self test, critical analysis
questions and/or case study questions without referring to the
textbook or your notes. Correct your responses using the answer
key
and solutions guide provided in the study guide. Your results
will help
you identify any areas you need to review.
Unit Examinations
Each course contains four unit examinations and a final
examination. Unit examinations usually consist of 25 objective
(multiple choice or true/false) test questions as well as
20. comprehensive writing assignments selected to reflect the
learning objectives identified in each chapter. For Master of
Education and Doctor of Education students, unit examinations
consist of writing assignments only.
Unit examinations may be found approximately every four to
six
chapters throughout your study guide. Unit examinations are
open-book, do not require a proctor, and are not timed. This
will allow
you to proceed at your own pace.
It is recommended that you check your answers against the
material
in your textbook for accuracy.
Writing Assignments
Each unit examination includes a written component. This
assignment may be in the form of written questions or case
study
problems. The written assignment affords the student an
opportunity
to demonstrate a level of subject mastery beyond the objective
unit
examinations, which reflects his/her ability to analyze,
synthesize,
evaluate and apply his/her knowledge. The writing assignment
materials are found immediately following each unit
examination.
Syllabus
xi
21. BAM 550 Leadership
Writing Assignment Requirements
• Always include your name, student number, course number,
course title and unit number on each page of your writing
assignment (this is for your protection in case your materials
become separated). Be sure to keep a copy for your records.
• Begin each writing assignment by identifying the question
number you are answering followed by the actual question
itself (in bold type).
• Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions
(i.e., an introduction, middle paragraphs and conclusion).
• All responses must be typed double-spaced, using a
standard font (i.e. Times New Roman) and 12 point type
size for ease of reading and grading.
• All online responses must be submitted as a MS Word
Document file only.
Writing assignments are judged on the quality of the response in
regard to the question. Word count is NOT one of the criteria
that is
used in assigning points to writing assignments. However,
students
who are successful in earning the maximum number of points
tend to
submit writing assignments that fall in the following ranges:
• Undergraduate courses: 350 - 500 words or 1 - 2 pages.
• Graduate courses: 500 - 750 words or 2 - 3 pages.
22. • Doctoral courses: 750 - 1000 words or 4 - 5 pages.
Plagiarism
All work must be free of any form of plagiarism. Put written
answers
into your own words. Do not simply cut and paste your answers
from
the Internet and do not copy your answers from the textbook.
Plagiarism consists of taking and using the ideas, writings or
inventions of another, without giving credit to that person and
presenting it as one’s own. This is an offense that the university
takes
very serious. An example of a correctly prepared written
response may
be found by visiting the coast connection student portal.
Citation Styles
The majority of your response should be your own original
writing
based on what you have learned from the textbook. However, if
you
choose to use outside materials to answer a writing assignment
question, be sure to provide a reference (or citation) for the
material. The following points are designed to help you
understand
how to provide proper references for your work:
Syllabus
xii
23. BAM 550 Leadership
• References are listed in two places.
• The first reference is briefly listed within your answer. This
includes identifying information that directs the reader to
your list of references at the end of your writing
assignment.
• The second reference is at the end of your work in the list of
references section.
• All references cited should provide enough identifying
information so that the reader can access the original
material.
For more detailed information on the proper use of citations,
please
refer to the CCU student handbook located on the coast
connection
student portal.

BAM 550 Leadership
For online submissions, once you have logged into the student
portal,
click on the testing tab and then choose either proctored final or
non-
proctored final. If your final exam was sent to your proctor,
then he
or she will have to enter a password that was issued to them on
the
27. proctor instruction sheet for the course.
Online final exam submissions must be completed in one
session;
you cannot save answers and go back to your exam later. We
recommend that you complete your final exam on paper first,
then
transfer the answers to your online answer sheet.
Proctors
The university requires that all final examinations except
elective
courses be completed under the supervision of a proctor.
A proctor can be anyone EXCEPT an immediate family member,
someone who resides with you or a current/former CCU student.
The purpose of the proctored final examination is to verify that
you
are, in fact, the person who is enrolled in the course of study. It
is
also to verify that you are completing the final examination
without
the aid of any outside assistance.
During the proctored final examination, you may use your
textbook
and any notes you have taken during the completion of your unit
examinations. Your designated proctor will verify your identity
and
that you have completed the final examination without any
outside
assistance.
Receiving Your Examination Grades
28. After your examinations are scored, a grade report will be
mailed to
you or you may arrange to have your grade e-mailed to you.
You may also check your grades on the coast connection student
portal. Grades are normally posted and available for review
within five
business days.
Most students receive their grades by regular mail within two
weeks
after the university receives their examination.
If you do not receive a grade report within two weeks, please
contact
the testing department and a duplicate grade report will be sent
to
you.

Summary

BAM 550 Leadership
The success of individual careers and the fate of organizations
are determined by the
effectiveness of leaders’ behavior. Leadership is considered
crucial for success, and some
researchers have argued that it is the most critical ingredient.
Chief executive officers (CEOs)
understand that they can’t run companies on their own; the
secret is to foster a leadership
mentality throughout the organization. Well-publicized
corporate failures have brought home the
critical role that leadership plays in the success or failure of
almost every aspect of the profit
and not-for-profit environment. Leadership is the influencing
process of leaders and followers to
achieve organizational objectives through change.
Leadership is part of a manager’s job. However, there are
42. managers who are not effective leaders.
There are also nonmanagers who have great influence on
managers and peers. Therefore, the terms
manager and leader are not used interchangeably. The term
manager means a person who has a
formal title and authority. The term leader means a person who
may be either a manager or a non-
manager. A leader always has the ability to influence others; a
manager may not. Thus, a leader is
not necessarily a person who holds some formal position such as
a manager.
A follower is a person who is being influenced by a leader. A
follower can be a manager or a
nonmanager. Good followers are not “yes people” who simply
follow the leader without giving input
that influences the leader. In short, effective leaders influence
followers, and their followers
influence them. The qualities needed for effective leadership are
the same as those needed to be
an effective follower.
Leadership involves influencing followers to bring about change
toward a desired future for the
organization. To be an effective leader and follower you must
be open to change. The people who
advance in organizations are those who are willing to take a risk
and try new things. Effective
leaders and followers enjoy working with people and helping
them succeed. Research, experience,
and common sense all point to a direct relationship between a
company’s financial success and its
commitment to leadership practices that treat people as assets.
Effective leaders are not simply born or made, they are born
with some leadership ability and
43. develop it. If leaders are born and skills could not be developed,
leading business schools would
not be teaching leadership, you would not be taking this course,
and major corporations would not
spend millions of dollars on leadership training each year.
The three levels of analysis of leadership theory are individual,
group, and organizational. The
individual level of analysis of leadership theory focuses on the
individual leader and the
relationship with individual followers. The individual level can
also be called the dyadic process.
Dyadic theories view leadership as a reciprocal influencing
process between the leader and the
follower. There is an implicit assumption that leadership
effectiveness cannot be understood
without examining how a leader and follower influence each
other over time. The second level of
analysis of leadership theory focuses on the relationship
between the leader and collective group
of followers. This level is also called group process. Group
process theories focus on how a leader
contributes to group effectiveness. The third level of analysis of
leadership theory focuses on the
organization. This level is also called organizational process.
Organizational performance in the
long run depends on effectively adapting to the environment and
acquiring the necessary resources
to survive, and on whether the organization uses an effective
transformation process to produce its
products and services.
