For my Organizational Behavior course (OBHR 3310), we were assigned to teach the class about the different styles of leadership. We wanted to engage the class, so we took an interesting spin to it.

All is well in Organizational
Behavior...

5. Until…

6. A)Hold Tight. There is strength in numbers and you are
secure in the classroom
B) Exit the classroom and head for the nearest exit.
Hopefully, zombies have not entered the JSOM yet
C) Break a window and jump out. The quicker you are
outside the better.

7. A) Bad move, Zombies were already in the building. You
boarded yourselves in but the zombies came through the
vents. Your team has joined the ranks of the undead.
B) Zombies were already in the building but you were able
to outrun them and get to the stairs. Good job! You made
it outside and your team is intact.
C) Getting outside quickly was a smart idea. Sadly, out of
your 7 team members, 2 fell to their death. You are safe
for now

8. A)Listen to President Daniels. Head to the Administration
building
B) Disband and run for your lives. You are all better off
on your own at this point
C) The Administration building is a good idea but you
should gear up first. The activity center has got to have
some make shift weapons. You stick together and head there
first.

9. a)Listening to the President seemed like a good idea until
you ran straight into a zombie mob. The majority of you
managed to get away but you had to leave 2 team members
behind.
b)Zombie survival is a team sport. No one made it off
campus. Your entire team is dead. Well, sort of...
c)The pathway to the activity center was clear. Your team
made it safely and found a few good items to use as
weapons.

10. a)Head straight towards the front entrance. Hopefully, the
survivors inside are awaiting your arrival
b)Head indoors and take the skywalks all the way to the
Admin. Building. It’s possible the zombies have not
made it to the upper levels yet and this may be a safer
option.
c)Split into two groups. One team takes the skywalks, the
other heads towards the front entrance.

11. a)You got to the front entrance no problem. Unfortunately, the
doors are locked and there is no one in sight. A few zombies
are headed your way. If you have weapons you will be able to
fend them off. If not, you lose two team members.
b)Apparently, zombies can operate elevators. When you reached
the top floors to take the skywalks you were greeted by a
zombie mob. You lost most of your team, 4 members to be
exact.
c)Didn’t you learn anything? Zombie survival is a team sport.
Your small numbers made you vulnerable. Your whole team
perished.

12. a)Scream and shout
b)Head back from where you came
c)Hold tight, hopefully someone inside will soon open a
door.

13. a)Screaming and shouting got the attention… of the zombies.
Your group was overrun before you could get inside.
b)Zombies are everywhere. You managed to fend them off for a
few minutes but the inevitable occurred.
c)Patience is a virtue. You held tight and tried not to cause
attention to yourselves. Eventually, the doors were opened.
Apparently, those inside were waiting to make sure you
weren’t attracting zombies to their front steps.
Congratulations! You made it out alive and you are one step
closer to getting your degree.

14. The Results

15. Autocratic Leadership
• Definition
The leader makes the decision alone without asking for the opinions or suggestions of
the employees in the work unit
• Employees can provide information, but not asked for input on decisions
• Employees often don’t know what decisions need to be made

16. Positive Effects
• Quick decisions
• Generally means you have a strong leader who gets things done
• Preferable for military decisions
• Allows group members to focus on task at hand
• Still allows effective decisions

17. Negative Effects
• Negative worldviews
• Oppress individuals below them
• Favor employees for doing things right – not the right thing
• Negatively influence group stability and overall happiness
• Preferred the least among employees
• Less creative solutions

18. Autocratic Examples
Steve Jobs
• Decided how decisions were made
• Set the goals and methods
• Had team working 90 hours a week (sometimes) and was cutting and cruel
• The team respected his vision and did things they never thought they could

19. No-So-Good Autocratic Examples
• Hitler
• Stalin
• Gaddafi
• Remember look out for:
• HSG – Hell,

20. Consultative Leadership
• The leader presents the problem to individual employees or a group of
employees and asks for their opinions, concerns, suggestions, etc.
However, the final decision still lies with the leader.
• Board meetings, Cabinet Meetings for the President are both examples of a
consultative style. This leadership style is incredibly common.

21. Positive Effects
• The most obvious benefit is the presence of multiple opinions and points of
view to decide from.
• “The consultative leader is in a position where he does not know the whole
situation and he requires the views and opinions of the team on the ground
that he may be able to make an informed decision.”
• Research has shown that increasing employee’s participation in the
decision making process increases job satisfaction and their own decision
making skills. (textbook 455-457)

22. Negative Effects
• Managers are more prone to overuse the consultative leadership style due
to the perception that everyone is getting a say, despite the possibility for a
large amount of unnecessary bureaucracy being formed.

23. Consultative Examples
Jeff Bezos
• Bezos believes that “without freedom to state opinions and freedom to
dispute, there is no innovation.”
• Bezos encourages participation and expression within his meetings, and
expects anyone who disagrees to express their feelings vehemently and
relentlessly, even if the effort is tiring and seemingly fruitless.

24. Facilitative Leadership
• Facilitative Leadership is very similar to consultative. However, there are a
few key differences.
Ultimate authority changes
Equal opinion
Open suggestions and constructive feedback

25. Facilitative Example
• Miracle

26. Delegative Leadership
• A leader who gives their employees the reigns to make their own decisions for
assigned tasks with some boundaries
• The leader may provide necessary resources.
• Minimal supervision
• The “chill” approach

27. Positive Effects
• Under the right circumstances, employees who were given great leeway
would boost their morale and increase productivity.
• Ultimately, it would also strengthen the employees’ management and
leadership skills.
• Example: Charles Manson, the cult leader and pimp

28. • When applying that trust to the wrong employees, it could lead to a lack of
direction, and motivation. Therefore, missing those deadlines.
• Example: Nursing
Negative Effects

29. Delegative Leadership
• Summary:
• Minimal supervision
• Laissez-faire
• Hands-off
• Requires a lot of trust

30. Conclusion
As teamV5 has presented, leadership comes varies forms with their own advantages
and disadvantages. Thus, we can use these varies forms of leadership to help us in
our professional and daily lives. However, in each of these leadership styles exists:
• Vision
• Virtue
• Value
• Veracity
• Valor
