In your case study, be sure to address the following items:
Include a brief statement as to which of the leadership styles (visionary, coaching, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and commanding) presented in the article that you are most comfortable employing, in general.
Analyze the scenario below: As a manager, you have two employees who have a difficult time working together.
While nothing specifically unprofessional has been done by either one of them, other team members have expressed concern that the differences between them are causing tension, and some other team members are having difficulty performing their work.
Some have even gone so far as to say that the situation is causing a hostile work environment.
Based on your understanding of the discussed leadership styles in the article, which would you choose to handle this situation?
What elements of that style do you feel will be most helpful in resolving the problems faced? How would you proceed with handling the scenario?
How does the role of leadership in the decision-making process serve to establish an organizational climate oriented to meet business goals?
