Assignment: Leadership and Strategic Planning In this assignment, you consider how leaders can engage in a strategic planning process with stakeholders to develop a plan to guide the organization’s evolution and development for the long-term. Since strategic planning should engage persons who will be affected by an organization’s decisions (e.g., staff, administration, board members, members of the community), it is important to include key stakeholders in the planning process so that it reflects their perspectives and interests. For this Assignment, think about how you would begin the strategic planning process for a human services organization. Consider the human services organizations for which you have worked either in your fieldwork or as an employee. Based on what you know about a particular organization, what steps might you take to establish a plan for the organization’s long-term development? Assignment (2–4 pages in APA format): Describe the first three steps you would take to begin the strategic planning process for a human services organization. Be sure to include the key stakeholders—who should be involved in each step and why they need to be included in the process. In addition, include steps you would take to establish stakeholder support and confidence. Note: Although you will base your strategic plan on what you know about an actual organization, do not include any identifying information about the organization or its stakeholders. By Day 7 .

Topic 6 DQ 1Your manager was impressed with the quantitative dat

VannaJoy20

Topic 6 DQ 1 Your manager was impressed with the quantitative data collection plan that you initiated over a year ago and has now asked you to delve more deeply into how to motivate employee performance. Now, your questions become those of how and why? To understand more about how to motivate your staff members, you determine that a qualitative methodology will be the best approach. What are appropriate sources of data for this type of research? Describe how you would document and organize your qualitative data for future analyses? Using the research literature, justify why this would be the best approach for data collection. Note: Rather than providing insights into the topics of employee perceptions or employee retention, focus your discussion post on the research methodology, research design, and data collection process to resolve this applied research example. Alicia - To understand more about how to motivate staff I think the best qualitative methods to use would be observations, case studies, and one-on-one interviews. Collecting data to understand staff motivation should come directly from the experiences of the staff themselves. The appropriate sources of data collection would be direct focus groups, case studies, and one-to-one interviews. What makes the research reliable is that the responses and feedback are given directly from the employees, which becomes a conglomerate piece of unbiased and authentic feedback, while still originating from staff members as individuals. A narrative inquiry could be used to delve deeper into employee performance. Staff motivation is important to explore and build upon because staff members are a valuable part of any organization. Greenberger, Maul, Walker, McClendon (2021) wrote that qualitative design focuses on storytelling through the lens of participant perspectives. this is crucial to the data collection aspect because the focus question is, "How are staff members motivated and why are staff members motivated?"

Rewards programs also helps to promote respect from employees because of feeling appreciated due to getting recognition from staff for performing well. By using the qualitative methodology to make changes to motivate the employees first a survey needs to create and given to the staff that will give the staff the opportunity to give inputs and recommendations as to what will motivate and increase productivity.

DwightEvaluation Leadership style assessments certainl.docx

brownliecarmella

Dwight Evaluation Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations. Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations. Explanation of Usefulness Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves. Explanation of Impact The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

Assignment 1 Conformity and Social InfluenceHow do reasonable p.docx

carlibradley31429

Assignment 1: Conformity and Social Influence How do reasonable people go along with unreasonable ideas, including mass suicide? How do charismatic leaders create their own “culture” within a specific situation and setting and then bring followers along? It is unsettling to consider that researchers have found that almost anyone will obey orders if placed in the right situation. For this Assignment, you will explore the role of conformity and social influence in the dynamics of a cult. Keep in mind the definition of “culture” as you examine how a powerful leader can create a distinct culture, or “cult,” that others join and follow: a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols shared by a large group of people (Shiraev & Levy, 2017, p. 4) . To prepare: Review the sections in Chapter 10 of your course text, beginning with “Universal Interaction” (p. 301), and pay particular attention to the content on conformity, obedience, leadership, and social power. Your Week 5 Learning Resources provide information on three different cults and their leaders in recent U.S. history: Jim Jones and the People’s Temple, David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, and Marshall Applewhite and Heaven’s Gate. You are encouraged to choose one as the focus of your Assignment. Additional Learning Resources provide insights on the dynamics of a cult. Note: If you prefer to choose a different leader and group, check with your instructor first for approval. For your focus leader, review and analyze the Module 5 Learning Resources provided and additional resources you find in the Walden Library or in other sources, including reputable websites, to complete this Assignment. For your focus leader and group, think about how each may exemplify the concepts of conformity, obedience, and social power: How the leader builds a “culture” with its own rules outside of the larger culture What elements compel followers to conform, such as charisma, isolation, and/or fear Use the Learning Resources provided and those you find to analyze your leader and followers as an example of a situational development of a “culture” through conformity, obedience, and social power. By Day 7 Submit a 2 - to 3-page research paper in which you do the following: Describe the leader and followers who are the subject of your analysis. Analyze how the leader created a distinct “culture” for followers and what elements of a culture were present in the setting. Analyze how the leader used social power to influence followers. Analyze elements that created conformity and obedience among the followers. Explain how your chosen leader’s use of social influence applies to the leaders in your culture (e.g., local, academic, political, or other types of leaders you identify). Note: Support the responses within your Assignment with evidence from the assigned Learning Resources and those you found. Provide a reference list for resources you used for this Assignment.

Chapter 6 Leadership Traits and SkillsLearning Objectives .docx

christinemaritza

Chapter 6 Leadership Traits and Skills Learning Objectives After studying this chapter, you should be able to: • Understand how leader traits and skills are related to effective leadership. • Understand the types of research methods used to study leadership traits and skills. • Understand what traits and skills are most relevant for effective leadership. • Understand what traits and skills best predict success in a managerial career. • Understand how the relevance of a trait or skill depends on the situation. • Understand the limitations of the trait approach. One of the earliest approaches to studying leadership was the trait approach, which involved a search for traits and skills that predict whether a person will attain positions of leadership and be effective in these positions. This chapter reviews research on the individual attributes of successful leaders. The emphasis is on traits and skills that contribute to managerial effectiveness and advancement, rather than on traits that predict who will emerge as a leader in an informal group. The chapter begins with an explanation of basic concepts and research methods in the trait approach. Then major findings about traits and skills related to effective leadership are reviewed, and some situations that affect the relevance of the skills are described. The chapter ends with several guidelines for managers based on the findings. PRINTED BY: Joshua Lafriniere <[email protected]>. Printing is for personal, private use only.

What is leadership? Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company. Leadership has nothing to do with titles. Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes. KEY LEADERSHIP PARADIGMS Just as every other field of study changes with time so too is the field of leadership study changing. Consider the following changes in thinking regarding leadership: Traditional Contemporary Departments System Fragmented, Specialized Connected, Flexible Authority, Decision Level Empower, Facilitation Control Envision Permanent, Growing Temporary, Trimmed Pyramid Flat Cost Cutting Social Sensitivity WHAT IS LEADERSHIP? Ask 20 people the question “What is leadership?” and you may get 30 different answers. If we examine the differences we receive, we may be able to identify a few themes, from which we may be able to construct a rough definition. Here are the themes we receive back: leading – setting direction, pace, and rhythm toward a vision leader – one who is setting the direction, pace, and rhythm toward a vision So then leadership – the ability to set direction, pace, and rhythm, and organize and motivate supporters, subordinates, and/or populations toward achieving the vision. So leadership is a term that is somewhat difficult to set in fixed terms. We may often hear people say, “I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it.” If we can agree that leadership is the ability to help individuals achieve a goal, then we can set some fixed aspects of leadership. Here are some items to .

My degree is an EDD in Performance Improvement Leadership .docx

My degree is an EDD in Performance Improvement Leadership Assignment Overview In the assignment this week, you will write a paper (7–10 pages), including a literature review, that examines ethical behavior, diversity, and civil discourse in the context of your particular focus and specialization. What You Need to Know Ethical Reasoning Morris (2016) tells us: In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361) Morris (2016) goes on to argue: First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten (1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361) Use your Critical Thinking text to quickly review the following: Chapter 14, "Develop As an Ethical Reasoner," pages 345–365. If you did not complete the Blooming Park: Ethics, Diversity, and Personnel Selection simulation last week, complete it now to begin work on the interviews relevant to your organization: P–12 education, higher education, business or corporate, or military. This activity will give you the opportunity to grapple with the ethical questions that frequently arise in professional contexts, which will be the focus of your assignment this week. Diversity and Multiculturalism Diversity in all organization settings can take many forms. We may consider differences across many criteria, including the following: Ethnicity. Ethnic identity.

A case study of preservice teacher development using korthagen's three level ...

Iwan Syahril

Using Korthagen’s (2010) three-level teacher learning model, I conducted a qualitative study addressing a central question: What factors contribute to preservice teacher development of knowledge about teaching during field experiences? Data were collected through interviews, supplemented by observation videos and document analysis. The findings show that participants showed some progress in their knowledge about teaching, which could be attributed to the opportunity to reflect on practice in their university-based courses during their field experience program. Moreover, there seemed to be a difference in the level of the development of knowledge about teaching between the two study participants. This difference could be attributed to subject matter mastery, good instructional support, having more diverse coursework, and having a disposition to focus on students. This study suggests that teacher education should provide experiences in which needs and Gestalts are triggered and elaborated, and preservice teachers are given opportunities to reflect on those experiences.
