LED 402 Module 3 SLP Assignment TUI
For this assignment you will be applying the concepts
from the background readings to some specific scenarios that you might face if
you were a leadership development coach. Make sure to thoroughly review
Fleenor, et al. (2008) before starting on this assignment.
For each of the scenarios below, use at least one
reference from the required readings to answer the specific question. Use your
knowledge of the background readings to diagnose each scenario in terms of what
went wrong and what could have been done differently. Your paper should be 2-3
pages in length:
- An organization decides that they don’t want to spend the large
amount of money to use a 360-degree survey from an established vendor and
instead decides to develop their own survey. An employee in the human
resource department is asked to create a list of 50 questions about
different areas of leadership performance. Two of the senior managers look
at the questions briefly and then send out the survey as part of a
360-degree process. Once the results come in, there is no rhyme or reason
to the results. For example, one top performing leader in the organization
gets perfect performance scores from some employees and very negative
scores from other employees. Management is not sure if the results from
the survey can be trusted or not.
- A unit in one organization is having a lot of performance issues
and senior management is not sure of the reasons for this. They don’t want
to fire any employees, but they do think some of the supervisors need to
improve their leadership skills. The survey is sent to five employees,
which includes two supervisors and three direct reports. They are told
that although the survey will be anonymous, the results of each survey
will be shared with all five employees; the names will be removed from
each survey, and they will all be able to see the evaluation scores on
each question. When senior management sees the survey results, they find
that all five employees received almost perfect scores and no useful
information from the surveys can be found.
- A software company is concerned that
they are losing market share to their competitors and that their software
is not as high in quality as it used to be. In an effort to improve their
competitiveness, they decide to use a 360-degree survey process to
identify areas for improvement in leadership skills among their top
supervisors in their software design department. After searching through a
few different 360-degree instruments offered by different vendors, they
find a survey that focuses on communication and teamwork skills. The
process seems to go very well as supervisors who score low on
communication or teamwork agree to go through training to improve these
skills. One year later, the 360-degree process is repeated, and most
supervisors show greatly improved communication and teamwork skills.
However, the quality of the company’s software does not seem to have
improved at all in spite of the improvements in communication and
teamwork.
