1) Discuss how you would change your organization’s mission to reflect a transformational leadership style. Analyze your organization’s version of transformational leadership and assess how the following organizational behaviors impede or help transformation:
•Communication •Power •Politics •Culture •Human resource management
Assess your organization’s leadership practices to identify examples where the leader has effectively supported these organizational behaviors. Include examples of practices that impede these organizational behaviors. Discuss your organization’s reaction to how the leader “walks the talk” and effectively promotes your organization’s mission. Analyze the leader’s behavior and see if it is congruent with the organization’s written mission.
2) Discuss the correlation between the Leader-Member Exchange Theory and in-group and out-group linkages. Provide examples of these two kinds of linkages from your current work environment. Describe and analyze how in-group and out-group linkages and leadership style impact each other. Suggest ways that managers and leaders can use the Leader-Member Exchange Theory to improve their own leadership behavior. Support your suggestions with examples.
Make sure that the discussion has a lot of references and peer-review. This is doctoral level class and need to have more research not personal opinion.
