...Case Study Analysis Paper 1: A Tale of Two Coaches John Bentley Grand Canyon University Leadership Styles and Development LDR-600 Armando Sotero February 27, 2013 Case Study Analysis Paper 1: A Tale of Two Coaches It was the best of basketball and it was the best of basketball or was it. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the leadership styles of two successful NCAA basketball coaches: Bobby Knight and Mike Krzyzewski. First, the paper will identify the leadership perspective of each coach. Leadership Perspectives Coach Knight and Coach K were at the center of and embodied the will of their teams. Northouse (2010) described this as a process between the leader and followers…leaders affect followers and vice a versa. Coach night devised a system he expected the team to follow. He said to the players, “Follow our rules, do exactly what I tell you and you will not lose (Snook, Perlow, & Delacey, 2005).” In a similar fashion, Coach K taught discipline too. He invested heavily in drills and skills while focusing on the needs of each player…helping players become a team. Interesting enough they both had one rule to follow…don’t do anything that will harm the team (Snook, Perlow, & Delacey, 2005). Besides a leadership process, each coach used personality to influence team results (Northouse, 2010; “How does“, 2007). Coach Knight’s demanding behavior, meticulous plans and expecting perfection from players is evidence of a conscientiousness personality...

...Leadership and Management Robert Bender LDR 300 October 9, 2014 Rick Hopkins Leadership and Management In this paper, we are going to talk about Winston Churchill. Way of how he was a leader and in what ways was he a manager. What different leadership roles and functions does Churchill fulfill? Also how these roles are similar and different. What obstacles has Churchill encountered as a leader? Is Churchill an effective leader based on common measures for success? Before we can answer these questions, in what ways is this person a leader? One must understand what a leader stands for. Leadership has been described as a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task. Also, we must look at in what ways is this person a manager? Manager is An individual who is in charge of a certain group of tasks, or a certain subset of a company. A manager often has a staff of people who report to him or her. Winston Churchill was both a leader and a manager during World War II. Churchill was a leader whose inspirational speeches motivated Britain when they thought all was lost. He made many mistakes and was not a perfect leader. But, his oratory inspired the British people throughout the war years. His speeches rallied the people, "throwing down the gauntlet" to Hitler, almost saying do your worst, and we will never surrender like the rest of Europe. So from that aspect he...

...Strategies for Building Effective Relationships Hank Williams LDR/300 November 3, 2014 University of Strategies for Building Effective Relationships A family member owns a medium size manufacturing business named Big Business Manufacturing. In earlier years, I worked in high school through college in different operation from manufacturing to distribution. Upon graduating College, the family member offered a job as a product development project leader. Accepting the offer the owner had a few concerns with productivity. The first concern was the business revenue and a decrease in the past three years. Second, there are no new ideas on the horizon. Third there is no leading project managers. Lastly, the last leader left because of a conflict between managers and supervisors. Some basic leadership skills include but are not an end all are self-confidence, positive attitude, emotional intelligence, and ability to motivate people. Other skills can include being a good role model which can encompass being punctual, respectful, and a people person. I believe that the ability to understand and relate to people underneath your power or supervision is crucial to becoming a great leader that people respect. According to Forbes the Top Ten Qualities that Make a Great leader are honesty, ability to delegate, communication, sense of humor, and confidence. The other qualities that Forbes considers important to become a great leader are: commitment, positive attitude, creativity, intuition...

...Affecting Change Organizational Leadership LDR 531 April 2, 2011 Joseph A. Bucci LDR 531 Affecting Change Change is something that is inevitable and cannot be prevented. Many organizations undergo change every day in order to remain operational as well as to take advantage of opportunities within their industry. There are times when employees do not accept change positively. In situations like these, how do managers cope with resistance? Leadership is defined in many different ways but the most common definition is the ability to influence a group towards a common goal (University of Phoenix). An effective manager is responsible for motivating employees through change to accomplish organizational goals. Smith and Falmouth is a midsized Teleshopping network with operations in the United States and Canada. S & F was motivated by its industry forecasts an immediately moved to become a major player within their industry. Their first move was implementing an e¬tailing division, S & F Online, six months ago. The success of this division was crucial to the company’s growth over the next three years.

...Week 3: Leadership and Power Paper LDR/300 The Prime Minister’s Powerful Better Half Mini Case Ho Ching, the wife Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore’s current prime minister and son of a founding father of the country, is the Chief Executive Officer at Temasek Holdings; who according to the text, “was ranked 18th of Asia Most Powerful Business People and 24th of Forbes World's Most Powerful Women” (Hughes, Ginnett, Curphy, 2009). While this demonstrates the power capacity of Ho Ching as a leader; it does not establish the level of influence that she commands or her skills to apply influential tactics necessary to be able to modify followers’ attitudes and behaviors in the desired direction. In order to determine whether Ho Ching is an influential and competent leader or simply a positional leader; one must review and establish what are the sources of power that she possess, as well as her individual characteristics, and her capacity to apply the influence tactics to change the attitudes, values and behaviors of others. Ho Ching is a Stanford-educated electrical engineer, this in itself already demonstrates that Ho Ching is an intelligent individual, and intelligence is a commonly used characteristic to describe potential leaders. Furthermore, according to Nahavandi (2009), “It is clear that the complex task of leading requires a person with cognitive ability to remember, collect, and integrate information, analyze problems, develop solutions, and evaluate...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
