Leadership and Organizational Structure
Leadership and Organizational Structure
I: Begin your paper by presenting an overview of current research and scholarly views on this topic. Focus your research on leadership theory, management vs leadership, transformational vs. transactional leadership, effect of culture on leadership style, leadership traits, etc. Utilize Google Scholar, Lexis Nexis Academic, or any other research search engine to find and present these foundational concepts. The first section of your submission should not mention your chosen company.
You will articulate current practices of your chosen company, and compare them to your research findings.
II: Second, conduct and present research that evaluates the leadership style fostered in this organization. Provide examples of both its effectiveness and ineffectiveness. Describe how leaders are (or are not) nurtured and developed. Analyze how the organizational structure/span of control impacts leadership style and effectiveness. Identify how the practices of your chosen company align with current research. Please read this week's announcement for additional content guidelines.
