LDR531 Motivation and Satisfaction Discussion
Business Finance
Discussion 1
Part 1
*Students need to contribute three substantive posts 100-150 words each*.
* Explain the concept of the Inner/Outer Game, and how you can use this understanding to improve your decision making as it applies to leadership.
* We discussed leadership development earlier in this class. Our readings this week suggest that we tend to approach leadership development as a competency. And I believe most of our discussion was about competency. After reading Chapter 4, how might your thinking change? Or would it?
*We read about polarities and problems in chapter 3. Can you think of examples you have faced this dilemma? (Other than the one in our text)
Part 2
*One summary Describe how you will apply that learning in your daily life, including your work life.
Describe what may be unclear to you, and what you would like to learn 100-150 words each*.
Discussion 2
Part 1
*Students need to contribute three substantive posts 100-150 word each *
* We often consider transformational leaders as those who can lead through charisma. They are able to cast a vision and help the organization transform itself into a better, or different version of itself. Many factors can drive the necessity of such an organization such as a changing economy, product/service obsolescence, merger/acquisition, or technology. (You can probably think of more.) What does chapter 5 tell us about transformational leadership?
* A flaw many leaders develop as they become better (accomplished) is a reactive dimension as they pursue perfection. What does our reading tell us about this, and how can we avoid it?
* Provide a brief overview of Hersey and Blanchard’s theory on Situational Leadership. Do you feel you are competent in this area? Why or why not?
Part 2
*One summary Describe how you will apply that learning in your daily life, including your work life.
Describe what may be unclear to you, and what you would like to learn 100-150 words*.
