Assignment:
Ethics in the workplace
1. You are the CEO of Acme Corp., a manufacturer of electronic components with annual sales of $500 million. Hanna uses the quote, "Every organization is perfectly designed to get the results it gets." Drawing on what you learned so far in this class, what will you do to the design of your organization to ensure your company behaves ethically?
Leading Change
2. Organizations must change in order to survive. Few would argue with that concept, yet the majority of organizations rarely initiate changes that work and last. How would you lead a major change initiative, and see it through to its successful completion? The one-page limit is lifted for this question. Think this through carefully, integrating everything you've learned up to this point. Cite relevant sources to back up your plan. Write it as if your career and your organization's future depended on it. It just might someday.
Motivation
3. It has been argued that traditional motivational practices are no longer effective. What can leaders and organizations do to effectively motivate the workforce of the 21st century? As with the other Discussion Questions, do not state your opinion without backing it up.
