Identify the five differences between roles in the traditional leadership paradigm and roles in the new leadership paradigm.

ANSWER: Refer to Exhibit 1.2. The roles of new paradigm leaders are changing from: Stabilizer to crisis manager--Leaders can no longer assume to just keep things running on a steady, even keel, for the organization to be successful due the constant motion of today‘s world, where nothing is for certain anymore.

Controller to facilitator--Leaders in powerful positions once believed strict control was needed for the organization to function efficiently and effectively. Rigid organizational hierarchies, structured jobs and work processes, and detailed, inviolate procedures let everyone know that those at the top had power and those at the bottom had none. Today, rather than being a controller, the leader is a facilitator who helps people do and be their best by removing obstacles to performance, getting people what they need, providing learning opportunities, and offering support and feedback.

Competitor to collaborator-In a hyperconnected, networked age, collaboration becomes more important than competition. Successful leaders harness and make the most of ideas, talent, and resources from across boundaries of all kinds. Although some companies still encourage internal competition and aggressiveness, most successful leaders stress teamwork, compromise, and cooperation. Self-directed teams and other forms of horizontal collaboration spread knowledge and information throughout the organization.

Diversity avoider to diversity promoter--Many of today‘s organizations were built on assumptions of uniformity, separation, and specialization. People who think alike, act alike, and have similar job skills are grouped into a department, such as accounting or manufacturing, separate from other departments and form uniform thinking. Today, leaders who promote a diverse workforce have been shown to improve their organization‘s chances of success.

Hero to humble--The move from celebrating the ―leader-as-hero‖ to recognizing the hardworking, behind-the-scenes leaders who quietly build strong, enduring companies by supporting and developing others rather than touting their own abilities and successes. One reason for the shift from hero to humble is that it is less and less realistic for an individual leader to meet all the challenges a team or organization faces in a complex, rapidly changing world.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Reflective Thinking STATE STANDARDS: United States - AK - DISC: Leadership Principles TOPICS: 1-2 The New Reality for Leaders KEYWORDS: Bloom‘s: Comprehension 62. Compare management to leadership in five areas crucial to organizational performance—providing direction, aligning followers, building relationships, developing personal leadership qualities, and creating outcomes.

ANSWER: When providing direction, management focuses on establishing detailed plans and schedules for achieving specific results, then allocating resources to accomplish the plan. Leadership calls for creating a compelling vision of the future, setting the context within which to view challenges and opportunities, and developing farsighted strategies for producing the changes needed to achieve the vision.

When aligning followers, management entails organizing a structure to accomplish the plan; staffing the structure with employees; and developing policies, procedures, and systems to direct employees and monitor implementation of the plan. Leadership is concerned instead with communicating the vision and developing a shared culture and set of core values that can lead to the desired future state.

In terms of relationships, management focuses on getting the best results out of people so that production goals are achieved, and goods and services are provided to customers in a timely manner. Leadership, on the other hand, focuses on investing more in people so they are energized and inspired to accomplish goals.

In personal qualities, management means providing answers and solving problems; leadership requires the courage to admit mistakes and doubts, to listen, and to trust and learn from others.

The differences between management and leadership create two differing outcomes.

Management maintains a degree of stability, predictability, and order through a culture of efficiency. Leadership, on the other hand, creates change.

ANSWER: Era 1 was pre-industrial and pre-bureaucratic. Most organizations were small and were run by a single individual who many times hired workers because they were friends or relatives.

Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

Page 27

This was the era of Great Man leadership and the emphasis on personal traits of leaders.

In Era 2, we saw the emergence of hierarchy and bureaucracy. The rational manager was well-suited to a stable environment. The behavior and contingency theories worked here because leaders could analyze their situation, develop careful plans, and control what happened.

In Era 3, the world was no longer stable. This was the era of the team leader and the change leader. Influence was important because of the need to change organizational structures and cultures.

Era 4 represents agile leadership, which means giving up control in the traditional sense to ensure organizational flexibility and responsiveness to a changing world. Leaders influence others through relationships and networks and through shared vision and values rather than through hierarchical power and control.

ANSWER: Traits are the distinguishing personal characteristics of a leader, such as intelligence, honesty, self-confidence, and appearance. Research early in the twentieth century examined leaders who had achieved a level of greatness; this field of study became known as the Great Man approach. Fundamental to this theory was the idea that some people are born with traits that make them natural leaders. The Great Man approach sought to identify the traits leaders possessed that distinguished them from people who were not leaders. Generally, research found only a weak relationship between personal traits and leader success. Indeed, the diversity of traits that effective leaders possess indicates that leadership ability is not a genetic endowment.

ANSWER: A strength arises from a natural talent that has been supported and reinforced with knowledge and skills. One notable thing about understanding your strengths is the philosophy ―concentrate on your strengths, not your weaknesses.‖ Although it is important to know your weak points, you excel in life by maximizing your strengths, not by fixing your weaknesses.

When you live and work from your strengths, you are more motivated, competent, and satisfied. Strengths are important because you can focus your life around them, and your energy, enthusiasm, and effectiveness can be the basis of your leadership. When people use their talents and strengths, they feel good and enjoy their work without extra effort; hence they are effective and make a positive contribution.

ANSWER: Research into the behavior approach to leadership culminated in two predominate types of leadership behaviors—people-oriented and task-oriented. The findings about two underlying dimensions and the possibility of leaders rated high on both dimensions raise three questions to think about. The first question is whether these two dimensions are the most important behaviors of leadership. Certainly, these two behaviors are important. They capture fundamental, underlying aspects of human behavior that must be considered for organizations to succeed. One reason why these two dimensions are compelling is that the findings are based on empirical research, which means that researchers went into the field to study real leaders across a variety of settings. The second question is whether people orientation and task orientation exist together in the same leader, and how. The grid theory argues that yes, both are present when people work with or through others to accomplish an activity. The third question concerns whether people can transform themselves into leaders high on people- or task orientation. Although ―high-high‖ leadership is not the only effective style, researchers have looked to this kind of leader as a candidate for success in a wide variety of situations.

Briefly describe the difference between the in-group and the out-group in the vertical dyad linkage model of individualized leadership.

ANSWER: Some leaders may spend a disproportionate amount of time with certain people; these ‗‗insiders‘‘are often highly trusted and may obtain special privileges. In the terminology of the VDL model, these people would be considered to participate in an in-group relationship with the leader, whereas other members of the group who did not experience a sense of trust and extra consideration would participate in an out-group relationship. In-group members, those who rated the leader highly had developed close relationships with the leader and often became assistants who played key roles in the functioning of the work unit. Out-group members were not key players in the work unit.

In terms of the stages of development of individualized leadership, briefly describe the leader-member exchange.

ANSWER: Stage two in the development of the individualized leadership theory explored the leadermember exchange (LMX) in more detail, discovering that the impact on outcomes depends on how the LMX process develops over time. Studies evaluating characteristics of the LMX relationship explored communication frequency, value agreement, characteristics of followers, job satisfaction, performance, job climate, and commitment. Leaders typically tend to establish in-group exchange relationships with individuals who have characteristics similar to those of the leader, such as similarity in background, interests, and values, and with those who demonstrate a high level of competence and interest in the job.

Discuss the aspects of being an ethical leader. Discuss the existence of trust in organizations today.

ANSWER: Leaders who model their ethical convictions through their daily actions command admiration, respect, and loyalty. Honesty and integrity are the foundation of trust between leaders and followers. Sadly, trust is sorely lacking in many organizations following years of corporate scandals and rampant greed. Leaders need the traits of honesty and integrity to rebuild trusting and productive relationships. People today are wary of authority and the deceptive use of power, and they are hungry for leaders who hold high moral standards. Successful leaders have also been found to be highly consistent, doing exactly what they say they will do when they say they will do it. Successful leaders prove themselves trustworthy. They adhere to basic ethical principles and consistently apply them in their leadership.

Describe the differences between autocratic leaders and democratic leaders.

ANSWER: One study that served as a precursor to the behavior approach recognized autocratic and democratic leadership styles. An autocratic leader tends to centralize authority and derive power from position, control of rewards, and coercion. A democratic leader delegates authority to others, encourages participation, relies on subordinates‘ knowledge for completion of tasks, and depends on subordinate respect for influence.

ANSWER: RATIONALE:

d According to Fiedler‘s contingency theory of leadership, task-oriented leaders are more effective when the situation is either highly favorable or highly unfavorable. The taskoriented leader excels in favorable situations because everyone gets along, the task is clear, and the leader has power; all that is needed is for someone to take charge and provide direction. Similarly, if the situation is highly unfavorable to the leader, a great deal of structure and task direction are needed.

Explain the four leadership styles based on the situational theory of leadership developed by Hersey and Blanchard.

Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

Page 78

ANSWER:

The four styles are telling, selling, participating, and delegating. The telling style is a very directive approach that reflects a high concern for tasks and a low concern for people and relationships, as shown in Exhibit 3.3. The leader provides detailed objectives and explicit instructions about how tasks should be accomplished. The selling style is based on a high concern for both relationships and tasks. With this approach, the leader provides task instruction and personal support, explains decisions, and gives followers a chance to ask questions and gain clarity about work tasks. The participating style is characterized by high relationship and low task behavior. The leader encourages participation, consults with followers, and facilitates decision-making. The fourth style, the delegating style, reflects a low concern for both tasks and relationships. This leader provides little direction or support because complete responsibility for decisions and their implementation is turned over to followers.

Briefly describe Fiedler's contingency model of leadership.

ANSWER: The cornerstone of Fiedler's theory of leadership is the extent to which the leader's style is relationship-oriented or task-oriented. A relationship-oriented leader is concerned with people. A task-oriented leader is primarily motivated by task accomplishment. Fiedler's model presents the leadership situation in terms of three key elements that can be either favorable or unfavorable to a leader: the quality of leader-member relations, task structure, and position power. Leader-member relations refers to group atmosphere and members' attitudes toward and acceptance of the leader. Task structure refers to the extent to which tasks performed by the group are defined, involve specific procedures, and have clear, explicit goals. Position power is the extent to which the leader has formal authority over subordinates.

According to the path-goal theory of leadership, how does a leader tailor rewards to a situation?

Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

Page 79

ANSWER:

According to the path-goal theory, the leader's responsibility is to increase subordinates' motivation to attain personal and organizational goals. The two important situational contingencies in the path-goal theory are (a) the personal characteristics of group members and (b) the work environment. The leader's responsibility is to clarify the path to rewards for followers or to increase the amount or type of rewards to enhance satisfaction and job performance. There are four examples of how leadership behavior is tailored to the situation.

In the first situation, the subordinate lacks confidence; thus, the supportive leadership style provides social support to encourage the subordinate to undertake the behavior needed to do the work and receive the rewards. In the second situation, the job is ambiguous and the employee is not performing effectively. Directive leadership behavior is used to give instructions and clarify the task so that the follower will know how to accomplish it and receive rewards. In the third situation, the subordinate is unchallenged by the task; thus, an achievement-oriented behavior is used to set higher goals. This clarifies the path to rewards for the employee. In the fourth situation, an incorrect reward is given to a subordinate, and the participative leadership style is used to change this. By discussing the subordinate's needs, the leader is able to identify the correct reward for task accomplishment.

Describe the Vroom-Jago contingency model of leadership.

ANSWER: The Vroom-Jago contingency model focuses on varying degrees of participative leadership and how each level of participation influences the quality and accountability of decisions.

This model starts with the idea that a leader faces a problem that requires a solution.

Decisions to solve the problem might be made by a leader alone or through inclusion of a number of followers. The model employs five levels of subordinate participation in decisionmaking, ranging from highly autocratic (leader decides alone) to highly democratic (leader delegates to group). There are five decision styles, starting with the leader making the decision alone (Decide); presenting the problem to subordinates individually for their suggestions and then making the decision (Consult Individually); presenting the problem to subordinates as a group, collectively obtaining their ideas and suggestions, then making the decision (Consult Group); sharing the problem with subordinates as a group and acting as a facilitator to help the group arrive at a decision (Facilitate); or delegating the problem and permitting the group to make the decision within prescribed limits (Delegate). The five styles fall along a continuum, and the leader should select one depending on the situation.

54. Explain the aspect of substitutes and neutralizers for leadership.

ANSWER: Situational variables can be so powerful that they actually substitute for or neutralize the need for leadership. This approach outlines those organizational settings in which task-oriented and people-oriented leadership styles are unimportant or unnecessary. A substitute for leadership makes the leadership style unnecessary or redundant. Unlike a substitute, a neutralizer counteracts the leadership style and prevents the leader from displaying certain behaviors. When subordinates are highly professional, both leadership styles are less important. The employees do not need either direction or support. With respect to task characteristics, highly structured tasks substitute for a task-oriented style, and a satisfying task substitutes for a people-oriented style. When a task is highly structured and routine, like auditing cash, the leader should provide personal consideration and support that is not provided by the task. Satisfied people don‘t need as much consideration. Likewise, with respect to the organization itself, group cohesiveness substitutes for both leader styles.

A leadership style that works in one situation might not work in another situation. There is no one best way of leadership. Discuss.

ANSWER: Contingency means that one thing depends on other things. For a leader to be effective there must be an appropriate fit between the leader's behavior and style and the conditions in the situation. A leadership style that works in one situation might not work in another situation.

There is no one best way of leadership.

Some situations don't require leadership. Discuss.

ANSWER: Answers will vary. Students should explain that situational variables can be so powerful that they actually substitute for or neutralize the need for leadership. For example, highly educated, professional subordinates who know how to do their tasks do not need a leader who initiates structure for them and tells them what to do. In addition, long-term education often develops autonomous, self-motivated individuals. Thus, task-oriented and people-oriented leadership is substituted by professional education and socialization. Exhibit 3.10 shows the situational variables that tend to substitute for or neutralize leadership characteristics.

worth pursuing. Instrumental values are beliefs about the types of behavior that are appropriate for reaching goals. Although everyone has both instrumental and end values, individuals differ in how they order the values into priorities, which accounts for tremendous variation among people.

ANSWER: Extroversion refers to traits and characteristics that influence behavior in group settings and to the degree to which a person is outgoing, sociable, talkative, and comfortable meeting and talking to new people. Someone low on extroversion may come across as quiet, withdrawn, and socially unassertive. This dimension also includes the characteristic of dominance. A person with a high degree of dominance seeks control and influence over others.

Agreeableness refers to the degree to which a person is able to get along with others by being good-natured, cooperative, forgiving, compassionate, understanding, and trusting. A leader who scores high on agreeableness seems warm and approachable, whereas one who scores low on this dimension may seem cold, distant, and insensitive.

ANSWER: Values help determine the attitudes leaders have about themselves and about their followers.

An attitude is an evaluation—either positive or negative—about people, events, or things. A leader‘s attitudes toward followers influence how they relate to people. Every leader‘s style is based to some extent on attitudes about human nature in general—ideas and feelings about what motivates people, whether people are basically honest and trustworthy, and the extent to which people can grow and change.

What is the importance of the whole brain concept?

ANSWER: Ned Herrmann began developing his concept of whole brain thinking while he was a manager at GE in the late 1970s and has expanded it through many years of research with thousands of individuals and organizations. The whole brain approach considers not only a person's preference for right-brained versus left-brained thinking but also for conceptual versus experiential thinking. Herrmann's whole brain model thus identifies four quadrants of the brain that are related to different thinking styles. Again, while not entirely accurate physiologically, the whole brain model is an excellent metaphor for understanding differences in thinking patterns. Some people strongly lean toward using one quadrant in most situations, whereas others rely on two, three, or even all four styles of thinking. The whole brain model provides a useful overview of an individual's mental preferences, which in turn affect patterns of communication, behavior, and leadership.

What guidelines can leaders use to work more effectively with different personality types?

ANSWER: Leaders can learn to work more effectively with different personality types by following some simple guidelines: (a) Understand your own personality and how you react to others.

Avoid judging people based on limited knowledge and realize that everyone has different facets to their personality. (b) Treat everyone with respect. People expect to be accepted and appreciated for who they are. (c) Acknowledge each person‘s strengths. Everyone wants to be recognized for their unique talents, so be sure to acknowledge and make use of people‘s useful personality characteristics. (d) Strive for understanding. A good approach to take with a personality type widely different from yours is to clarify questions every time there‘s a potential for miscommunication. (e) Remember that everyone wants to fit in. No matter their personalities, people typically take on behavior patterns that are the norm for their environment.

ANSWER: The power of the conditioning that limits our thinking and behavior is illustrated by the Pike Syndrome. In an experiment, a northern pike is placed in one half of a large glass-divided aquarium, with numerous minnows placed in the other half. The hungry pike makes repeated attempts to get the minnows but succeeds only in battering itself against the glass, finally learning that trying to reach the minnows is futile. The glass divider is then removed, but the pike makes no attempt to attack the minnows because it has been conditioned to believe that reaching them is impossible. When people assume they have complete knowledge of a situation because of past experiences, they exhibit the Pike Syndrome, a trained incapacity that comes from rigid commitment to what was true in the past and an inability to consider alternatives and different perspectives.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Reflective Thinking STATE STANDARDS: United States - AK - DISC: Motivation Concepts - DISC: Environmental Influence TOPICS: Developing a Leader‘s Mind KEYWORDS: Bloom‘s: Application 52. Describe systems thinking. What is its importance in leadership?

ANSWER: Systems thinking is the ability to see the synergy of the whole rather than just the separate elements of a system and to learn to reinforce or change whole-system patterns. With systems thinking, a leader sees the big picture and connects the dots rather than just looking at the dots in isolation. Systems thinking enables leaders to look for patterns of movement over time and focus on the qualities of rhythm, flow, direction, shape, and networks of relationships that accomplish the performance of the whole. Systems thinking is a mental discipline and framework for seeing patterns and interrelationships. It is important to see organizational systems as a whole because of their complexity. Complexity can overwhelm leaders, undermining confidence. When leaders can see the structures that underlie complex situations, they can facilitate improvement.

ANSWER: An organization can hold many kinds of fear, including fear of failure, fear of change, fear of personal loss, fear of being judged, and fear of the boss. All of these fears can prevent people from doing their best, from taking risks, and from challenging and changing the status quo.

Fear gets in the way of people feeling good about their work, themselves, and the organization. It creates an atmosphere in which people feel powerless, so that their confidence, commitment, enthusiasm, imagination, and motivation are diminished. One major drawback of leading with fear is that it creates avoidance behavior because no one wants to make a mistake. Fear in the workplace weakens trust and communication.

ANSWER: A global mindset can be defined as the ability of managers to appreciate and influence individuals, groups, organizations, and systems that represent different social, cultural, political, institutional, intellectual, or psychological characteristics. A manager with a global mindset can perceive and respond to many different perspectives at the same time rather than being stuck in a domestic mental model that sees everything from one‘s own limited personal or cultural perspective.

Emotional contagion means that leaders who are able to maintain balance and motivation may become positive role models to help motivate and inspire those around them. Discuss and give examples.

ANSWER: Emotions are contagious. The emotional state of the leader influences the entire team, department, or organization. For example, the energy level of the entire organization increases when leaders are optimistic and hopeful rather than angry or depressed. Therefore, leaders should recognize the importance not only of keeping their own emotions in balance but also of helping others manage negative emotions so they don't infect the entire team or organization.

Distinguish between leading with love and leading with fear. Discuss the limitations of leading with fear and the benefits of leading with love.

ANSWER: Traditional organizations have relied on fear as a motivator. Although fear does motivate people, it prevents them from feeling good about their work and often causes avoidance behavior. Fear can reduce trust and communication so that important problems and issues are hidden or suppressed. Leaders can choose to lead with love instead of fear. Love can be thought of as a motivational force that enables people to feel alive, connected, and energized.

People respond to love because it meets unspoken needs for respect and affirmation. Rational thinking is important to leadership, but it takes love to build trust, creativity, and enthusiasm.

ANSWER: b RATIONALE: Organizations are vulnerable when leaders stick with obsolete mental models in the face of new realities.

Being mindful means that Marney will: a. be open to new ideas. b. encourage team members to work together without conflict. c. interact often with team members. d. reward team members for superior performance.

ANSWER: a RATIONALE: Mindfulness can be defined as a state of focused attention on the present moment and a readiness to create new mental categories in the face of evolving information and shifting circumstances. Mindfulness involves independent thinking, and it requires leader curiosity and learning. Mindful leaders are open-minded and stimulate the thinking of others through their curiosity and questions. Mindfulness is the opposite of mindlessness, which means blindly accepting rules and labels created by others. Mindless people let others do the thinking for them, but mindful leaders are always open to new ideas and approaches.

52. Briefly explain the concept of servant leadership as described by Robert Greenleaf.

ANSWER: Servant leadership was first described by Robert Greenleaf in his book, Servant Leadership.

According to Greenleaf, servant leaders put service before self-interest, listen first to affirm others, inspire trust by being trustworthy, and nourish others and help them become whole.

The servant leader‘s top priority is service to employees, customers, shareholders, and the general public. Leadership flows out of the act of service because it enables other people to grow and become all they are capable of being.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Promotion - BUSPROG: Analytic STATE STANDARDS: United States - AK - DISC: Motivation Concepts - DISC: Environmental Influence TOPICS: Leading with Courage KEYWORDS: Bloom's: Comprehension 55. In what ways can leaders unlock the courage within themselves?

ANSWER: All of us have the potential to live and act courageously. There are a number of ways leaders can unlock the courage within themselves, including committing to causes they believe in, connecting with others, harnessing anger, and developing their skills. Leaders who have a strong emotional commitment to a larger vision or purpose find the courage to step through fear. Caring about others and gaining support from others is a potent source of courage.

People who feel alone in the world take fewer risks because they have more to lose. Anger, in moderate amounts, is a healthy emotion that provides energy to move forward. The challenge is to harness anger and use it appropriately. Courageous leaders are not reckless and foolhardy; they typically have developed the skills and resources they need to take a difficult stand or pursue a tough course of action. In addition, courageous leaders can develop courageous followers by modeling courage in their own behavior and by helping people practice courage.

What pressures do leaders face that challenge their ability to work ethically?

ANSWER: Leaders face many pressures that challenge their ability to do the right thing. The most dangerous obstacles for leaders are personal weakness and self-interest. Pressures to cut costs, increase profits, meet the demands of vendors or business partners, and look successful can all contribute to ethical lapses. Another challenge in today's business environment is an overemphasis on pleasing shareholders, which may cause some managers to behave unethically toward customers, employees, and the broader society.

Briefly describe how vision works in a number of important ways.

ANSWER: An effective vision provides a link between today and tomorrow, serves to energize employees and focus their attention, provides meaning for people‘s work, and sets a standard of excellence and integrity in the organization. Vision connects what is going on right now with what the organization aspires to. A vision is always about the future, but it begins with the here and now. When people have a clear picture of where the organization wants to be in the future, they can help take it there. A clear vision lets people know what they should be doing and, just as importantly, what they should not be doing. Vision needs to transcend the bottom line to provide employees with a sense of meaning and purpose. A powerful vision frees people from the mundane by providing them with a challenge that requires them to give their best.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Reflective Thinking STATE STANDARDS: United States - AK - DISC: Motivation Concepts - DISC: Environmental Influence TOPICS: Leadership Vision KEYWORDS: Bloom‘s: Evaluation 53. Briefly explain the principle of individual purpose.

ANSWER: Individual purpose is a predominant sense of what matters in one‘s life and what is personally meaningful and valued. Most of us, if asked, would say we have purpose, but few of us can clearly identify or express it. Leaders can help people find their individual purpose and then make sure individual and organizational purpose are connected and mutually reinforcing. McKinsey & Company developed a model of nine types of individual purpose based on a survey asking about the life values of hundreds of individuals representing different genders, ages, ethnicities, and educational levels. Their results suggest that any individual‘s purpose maps onto one or a combination of nine categories of values that research has found to be universal, as shown in Exhibit 7.5.

ANSWER: Answers will vary. Refer to Exhibit 7.1 for an illustration of the four possibilities of leadership in providing direction. Four types of leaders include the uninvolved, the doer, the dreamer, and the effective leader. The person who is low on both on providing vision and stimulating action is uninvolved, not really a leader at all. The leader who is all action and little vision is a doer. They may be a hard worker and dedicated to the job and the organization, but the doer is working blind. Without a sense of purpose and direction, activities have no real meaning and do not truly serve the organization, the employees, or the community. The dreamer, on the other hand, is good at providing a big idea with meaning for self and others. This leader may effectively inspire others with a vision, yet be weak on executing strategic action. The vision in this case is only a dream, a fantasy, because it has Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

List the four frameworks for a noble purpose: ANSWER: Answers will vary. Refer to Exhibit 7.8, A Leader‘s Framework for Noble Purpose.

Discovery--Discovery for its own sake can serve as a noble purpose, as it does for employees at Google, where people are energized by the psychic rewards they get from working on intellectually stimulating and challenging technical problems.

Excellence--With this approach, rather than emphasizing discovery, leaders focus people on being the best, both on an individual and an organizational level. excellence is defined by the work itself rather than by customers. Indeed, organizations that pursue excellence would rather turn customers away than compromise their quality.

Altruism--Many nonprofit organizations are based on a noble purpose of altruism because they emphasize serving others, but other businesses can use this approach as well. Companies that put a high premium on customer service can be considered to fall in this category as well Heroism--Heroism means the company‘s purpose is based on being strong, aggressive, and effective.

52. Briefly describe the two categories of motives.

ANSWER: According to the four categories of motives based on two criteria, the horizontal dimension contrasts motives that are driven by fear or pain versus those driven by growth or pleasure.

The vertical dimension contrasts motives that are triggered from within the individual versus those triggered from outside the individual, such as by a leader. The four quadrants represent four differing approaches leaders can use for motivating people. Quadrants I and II are both positive approaches to motivating. Quadrant I motivational methods attempt to influence behavior by using extrinsic rewards that create pleasure, such as giving an employee a pay raise, a bonus, or a gift. Quadrant II techniques tap into deep-seated employee energy and commitment by helping people get deep personal satisfaction from their work. Quadrant III uses negative, extrinsic methods, such as threats or punishments, to get people to perform as desired. Quadrant IV reflects methods that attempt to motivate people by tapping into their self-doubts or anxieties, such as motivating people to work hard by emphasizing the weak economy and high unemployment rate.

Describe the reinforcement perspective on motivation.

ANSWER: Reinforcement theory simply looks at the relationship between behavior and its consequences by changing or modifying followers‘ on-the-job behavior through the appropriate use of rewards or punishments. Behavior modification involves a set of techniques by which reinforcement theory is used to modify behavior. Reinforcement is defined as anything that causes a certain behavior to be repeated or inhibited. Four ways in which leaders use reinforcement to modify or shape employee behavior are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction.

ANSWER:

Positive reinforcement is the administration of a pleasant and rewarding consequence immediately following a desired behavior. A good example of positive reinforcement is immediate praise for an employee who does a little extra in their work. Studies have shown that positive reinforcement does help to improve performance. In addition, nonfinancial reinforcements, such as positive feedback, social recognition, and attention, are just as effective as financial rewards.

You are the owner of a small business with ten employees. How would you build a thriving workforce?

ANSWER: Answers will vary. A thriving workforce is one in which people are not just satisfied and productive but also engaged in creating the future—their own and that of the organization.

Two components of thriving individuals are vitality and learning. A thriving employee is one who feels alive, energized, and passionate what they are doing. The individual has a sense that their work has purpose and meaning. In addition, a thriving employee is one who is learning and growing, developing new knowledge, skills, and abilities that can be applied now and in the future. Leaders promote thriving by meeting higher-level needs, helping people get intrinsic rewards from their work, and providing regular feedback on performance and progress. A long-term commitment to empowerment and engagement can provide the basis for a thriving workplace. However, there is no cookie-cutter approach to promoting a thriving workplace because each individual and organization is different.

ANSWER: Answers will vary. Needs-based theories emphasize the needs that motivate people. Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that humans are motivated by multiple needs and those needs exist in a hierarchical order: physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem, and selfactualization. Physiological, safety, and belongingness needs must be satisfied before esteem and self-actualization needs. Herzberg's two-factor theory holds that dissatisfiers must be removed and motivators then added to cause high motivation. McClelland asserted that people are motivated differently depending on which needs they have acquired.

ANSWER: Answers will vary. People have both positive and negative motives that cause them to engage in specific behaviors or activities. Motives can be driven by fear or pain or by growth or pleasure. Motives come from within a person (intrinsic) or are triggered from without (extrinsic). Extrinsic positive motives include rewards such as pay raises, bonuses, and praise. Intrinsic positive motives involve helping people enjoy their work and feeling a sense of accomplishment. Extrinsic negative motives include threats and punishments. Intrinsic negative motives tap into people's self-doubts and anxieties.

An important factor in team effectiveness is ensuring that the needs for both task accomplishment and team members' socioemotional well-being are met. Discuss.

ANSWER: For a team to be successful over the long term, both task-oriented behavior and relationshiporiented behavior are required within the team. The task-specialist role is associated with behaviors that help the team accomplish its goal. The socioemotional role includes behaviors that maintain people's emotional well-being and strengthen the social identity. Teams with mostly socioemotional roles can be satisfying, but they can be unproductive. At the other extreme, a team made up primarily of task specialists will tend to have a singular concern for task accomplishment. This team will be effective for a short period of time but will not be satisfying for members over the long run. Effective teams have people in both task-specialist and socioemotional roles. A well-balanced team will do best over the long term because it will be personally satisfying for team members and it will accomplish its tasks.

ANSWER: Students answer will vary, with any of the variations listed below.

19. Agile teams are small in size, typically made up of three to six people. Small size enables better coordination and faster decision-making. Team members can interact closely with other team members, stay close to their customer, and quickly implement changes as needed.

20. They are composed of employees from different functional areas. Teams are multidisciplinary, made up of both technical and nontechnical employees, and include all the functions needed to perform the team‘s task and meet its goals.

multidisciplinary, made up of both technical and nontechnical employees, and include all the functions needed to perform the team‘s task and meet its goals.

22. They focus on building solutions for distinct, small, manageable components of larger, complex problems that are integrated into a comprehensive whole. Agile thinking recognizes that ambiguity and rapid change in today‘s world create big problems that can best be solved by teams that work on specific aspects of the problem in collaboration with other teams and customers.

23. They develop extremely close relationships with their customers, both inside and outside the organization. Agile teams are obsessed with continuously adding value for customers. In a sense, the customer is the boss of agile teams. Continuous interactions among teams and customers are the norm. A study by McKinsey & Company found that 80 percent of companies using agile teams developed new products and services by working closely with customers and field-testing new ideas and prototypes for rapid feed- back to improve the product.

24. They hold a daily 15-minute meeting, called a scrum, during which members share progress, report obstacles or problems, and make commitments.

ANSWER:

A virtual team is made up of geographically or organizationally dispersed members who are linked primarily through advanced information and telecommunication technologies. Team members use e-mail, voice mail, videoconferencing, Internet and intranet technologies, and various types of collaboration software to perform their work rather than meeting face-toface. Virtual teams may be temporary cross-functional teams pulled together to work on specific problems, or they may be long-term or permanent self-directed teams.

ANSWER: There are five styles of handling conflict.

1. The dominating style (―my way‖) reflects assertiveness to get one's own way and should be used when quick, decisive action is vital on important issues or unpopular actions.

2. The avoiding style (―no way‖) reflects neither assertiveness nor cooperativeness. It is appropriate when an issue is trivial, when there is no chance of winning, when a delay to gather more information is needed, or when a disruption would be costly.

3. The compromising style (―half way‖) reflects a moderate amount of both assertiveness and cooperativeness. It is appropriate when the goals on both sides are equally important, when opponents have equal power and both sides want to split the difference, or when people need to arrive at temporary or expedient solutions under time pressure.

4. The accommodating style (―your way‖) reflects a high degree of cooperativeness, which works best when people realize that they are wrong, when an issue is more important to others than to oneself, when building social credits for use in later discussions, and when maintaining harmony is especially important.

5. The collaborating style (―our way‖) reflects a high degree of both assertiveness and cooperativeness. The collaborating style enables both parties to win, although it may require substantial bargaining and negotiation. The collaborating style is important when both sets of concerns are too important to be compromised, when insights from different people need to be merged into an overall solution, and when the commitment of both sides is needed for a consensus.

c The term Machiavellian is often associated with unscrupulous, even diabolical behavior aimed at increasing one‘s power for personal gain, but in reality Machiavelli‘s essential argument in The Prince is that the welfare of the state must come first and foremost and that leaders must often do tough, even ruthless things in the spirit of the ends justifying the means.

Jeff has been appointed as the new CEO of a banking company. He is considered to be a ―hands-off‖ leader, who encourages empowerment at all levels. He is also considered an expert in banking. However, the company is recovering from a prolonged period of losses during the economic downturn. The organization has also become more political. At this juncture, what are the leadership practices Jeff should focus on and implement?

ANSWER: Expert power is the ability to influence others through specialized knowledge, skills, or abilities. A component of expert power is having information not widely possessed by others, such as being an accurate predictor of commodity prices. Jeff should utilize his expert power and steer the company away from further losses.

Jeff should also focus on reducing organizational politics in his company. Setting good examples at the top of the organization can help reduce the frequency and intensity of organizational politics. When leaders are nonpolitical in their actions, they demonstrate in subtle ways that political behavior is not welcome.

Taylor works as a supervisor in an information technology firm. He often resorts to making demands on his team by saying ―Do it or your fired‖ or ―If you can‘t do what I ask, I will find someone who will.‖ What type of power is Taylor using? Explain. Further discuss the potential follower responses to the use of the power Taylor is using.

ANSWER: Taylor is using coercive power. It refers to the power to punish or recommend punishment.

Supervisors have coercive power when they have the right to fire or demote subordinates, criticize, or withhold pay increases.

The follower responses to the type of power as seen in Exhibit 12.4 provide two options for the position of hard power Taylor is using to gain followership. Taylor will either have follower compliance or resistance.

When people successfully use hard, position power (legitimate, reward, coercive), the response is compliance. Compliance means that people follow the directions of the person with power, whether or not they agree with those directions. They will obey orders and carry out instructions even though they may not like it. However, if the use of hard power, especially the use of coercion, exceeds a level people consider legitimate, some followers will actively resist the attempt to influence. Resistance means that employees will deliberately try to avoid carrying out instructions or will try to disobey orders. Thus, the effectiveness of leaders who rely solely on position power is limited.

Compare critical thinking and uncritical thinking according to Kelley‘s theory of followership.

ANSWER: One theory of followership was proposed by Robert E. Kelley, who conducted extensive interviews with leaders and followers and came up with five styles of followership. These followership styles are categorized according to two dimensions. The first dimension is the quality of independent, critical thinking versus dependent, uncritical thinking. Critical thinking means approaching subjects, situations, and problems with thoughtful questions and in an unbiased way, gathering and assessing ideas and information objectively, and mentally penetrating into underlying implications of various alternatives. Conversely, a dependent, uncritical thinker does not consider possibilities beyond what they are told, does not contribute to the cultivation of the organization, and accepts the leader‘s ideas without assessing or evaluating them.

52. Briefly describe the characteristics of an alienated follower.

ANSWER: An alienated follower is an independent, critical thinker but is passive in the organization.

Alienated followers are often effective followers who have experienced setbacks and obstacles, perhaps promises broken by superiors. Thus, they are capable, but they focus exclusively on the shortcomings of the organization and other people. Often cynical, alienated followers are able to think independently, but they do not participate in developing solutions to the problems or deficiencies they see.

ANSWER: Unrealistic follower expectations present one of the biggest barriers to effective leaderfollower relationships. Whereas it is reasonable to expect your superiors to be competent, it is naïve and unrealistic to expect them to be perfect. When we accept that leaders are fallible and will make many mistakes, we open the path to an equitable relationship. Followers should view leaders as they really are, not as followers think they should be.

Describe follower qualities and behaviors that contribute to productive and rewarding leader-follower relationships.

ANSWER: The following qualities and behaviors have been shown to contribute to productive and rewarding leader-follower relationships: 33. A make-it-happen attitude. Leaders don't want excuses. They want results. A leader's job becomes smoother when they have followers who are positive and selfmotivated, who can get things done, who accept responsibility, and who excel at required tasks. Leaders value people who propose ideas, show initiative, and take responsibility when they see something that needs to be done or a problem that needs to be solved.

34. A willingness to collaborate. Leaders are responsible for much more in the organization than any individual follower's concerns, feelings, and performance.

Each follower is a part of the leader's larger system and should realize that their actions affect the whole.

35. The motivation to stay up-to-date. Bosses want followers to know what is happening in the organization's industry or field of endeavor. In addition, they want people to understand their customers, their competition, and how changes in technology or Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

world events might affect the organization.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Reflective Thinking STATE STANDARDS: United States - AK - DISC: Leadership Principle - DISC: Leadership Principles TOPICS: What Your Leader Wants from You KEYWORDS: Bloom's: Analysis 57. Describe the types of courage that an effective follower should have.

ANSWER: Effective followers should have the courage to assume responsibility. The effective follower feels a sense of personal responsibility and ownership in the organization and its mission.

Thus, the follower assumes responsibility for his or her own behavior and its impact on the organization. Effective followers do not presume that a leader or an organization will provide them with security, permission to act, or personal growth. Instead, they initiate the opportunities through which they can achieve personal fulfillment, exercise their potential, and provide the organization with the fullest extent of their capabilities.

Effective followers should have the courage to challenge authority. Effective followers do not sacrifice their personal integrity or the good of the organization in order to maintain harmony. If a leader's actions and decisions contradict the best interests of the organization, effective followers take a stand.

Effective followers also have the courage to participate in change. Effective followers view the struggle of corporate change and transformation as a mutual experience shared by all members of the organization. When an organization undergoes a difficult transformation, effective followers support the leader and the organization. They are not afraid to confront the changes and to work toward reshaping the organization.

Effective followers also have the courage to serve the needs of the organization. An effective follower can provide strength to the leader by supporting the leader and by contributing to the organization in areas that complement the leader's position.

POINTS: DIFFICULTY: REFERENCES:

Finally, effective followers have the courage to leave the organization when necessary.

Sometimes organizational or personal changes create a situation in which a follower must withdraw from a particular leader-follower relationship. For example, a follower may need new challenges, be faced with a leader or an organization unwilling to make unnecessary changes, or have such strong differences of opinion that he or she can no longer support the leader's decisions.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Reflective Thinking STATE STANDARDS: United States - AK - DISC: Leadership Principle - DISC: Leadership Principles TOPICS: The Power and Courage to Manage Up KEYWORDS: Bloom's: Analysis 58. How can leaders optimize the use of feedback and minimize the conflict and fear that often accompanies it?

ANSWER: The following are ways leaders can provide feedback that benefits followers and takes less of an emotional toll on both leader and follower: 10. Make it timely. Leaders should give feedback as soon as possible after they observe a behavior or action they want to correct or reinforce. If leaders wait to offer feedback, it should be only long enough to gather necessary information or to marshal their thoughts and ideas.

11. Focus on the performance, not the person. Feedback should not be used simply to criticize a person or to point out faults. A person who feels like they are being attacked personally will learn nothing from feedback. The focus should always be on how the follower can improve. Leaders have to point out work that is poorly done, but it is equally important to reinforce work that is done well. This helps people learn from what they do right and softens the impact of negative feedback.

12. Make it specific. Effective feedback describes a precise behavior and its consequences and explains why the leader either approves of the behavior or thinks there is a need for improvement. The leader might provide illustrations and examples to clarify what behavior is considered effective, and they always checks for understanding rather than assuming the follower knows what actions the leader wants.

13. Focus on the desired future, not the past. Good leaders don't drag up the failures and mistakes of the past. In addition, if it is clear that a follower's mistake was a one-time occurrence and not likely to be repeated, the leader will let it go rather than offering negative feedback. Effective feedback looks toward the future, minimizes faultfinding, and describes the desired behaviors and outcomes.

51. Briefly describe the three levels of corporate culture.

ANSWER: Corporate culture can be thought of as consisting of three levels, with each level becoming less obvious. At the surface level are visible artifacts such as manner of dress, patterns of behavior, physical symbols, organizational ceremonies, and office layout—all the things one can see, hear, and observe by watching members of an organization. At a deeper level of culture are the expressed values and beliefs, which are not observable but can be discerned from how people explain and justify what they do. These are values that members of the organization hold at a conscious level. Some values become so deeply embedded in a culture that organizational members may not be consciously aware of them. These basic, underlying assumptions are the essence of the corporate culture and constitute its third level.

ANSWER: Culture strength refers to the degree of agreement among employees of an organization about the importance of specific values and ways of doing things. If widespread consensus exists, the culture is strong and cohesive; if little agreement exists, the culture is weak. The effect of a strong culture is not always a positive one. Sometimes a strong culture can encourage the wrong values and cause harm to the organization and its members. A strong culture can increase employee cohesion and commitment to the values, goals, and strategies of an organization, but companies sometimes have unethical values or values that are unhealthy for the organization because they don‘t fit the needs of the environment.

52. According to the eight-stage model of planned organizational change, why is it important for leaders to have the right people on board?

They include people with enough power to make sure the change happens, as well as people who can make the change more acceptable to end users.

ANSWER: Electronic brainstorming, or brainwriting, brings people together in an interactive group over a computer network. People can submit ideas as well as read and extend others‘ ideas.

Studies show that electronic brainstorming generates about 40 percent more ideas than individual brainstorming alone, and 25 percent to 200 percent more ideas than regular brainstorming groups, depending on group size. Primarily because people participate anonymously, the sky‘s the limit in terms of what they feel free to say. Creativity also increases because people can transcribe their ideas immediately, avoiding the possibility that a good idea might slip away while the person is waiting for a chance to speak in a face-toface group.

ANSWER: For creative acts that benefit the organization to occur consistently, the interests and actions of everyone should be aligned with the organization's purpose, vision, and goals, and leaders should make a commitment of time, energy, and resources to support creativity. One popular approach is to provide an idea incubator. An idea incubator provides a safe harbor where ideas from people throughout the organization can be developed without interference from company bureaucracy or politics.

To build a culture that encourages corporate entrepreneurship, leaders encourage the creative spirit of all employees by promoting cultural values of curiosity, openness, exploration, and informed risk-taking. One important outcome of entrepreneurship is to facilitate idea champions. Idea champions are people who passionately believe in an idea and fight to overcome natural resistance and convince others of its value.

POINTS: DIFFICULTY: REFERENCES:

A creative culture is an open culture that encourages people to look everywhere for new ideas. Leaders promote openness by rotating people into different jobs, allowing them time off to participate in volunteer activities, and giving them opportunities to mix with people different from themselves.

Discuss the five key elements that can be incorporated to change people's thinking and behavior in organizations.

ANSWER: The keys to changing people's thinking and behavior incorporate the following five elements: 14. 1. Provide a positive emotional attractor. A positive emotional attractor awakens a person's hopes and dreams about the future, about possibilities of what could be, rather than focusing on trying to ―fix‖ weaknesses or shortcomings.

15. Make sure people have a support system. Leaders let people establish new, emotional relationships that provide hope, make people believe they have the power to change, and inspire people with the expectation that change will happen.

16. Use repetition. People need the opportunity to experiment and practice the new skills and habits over and over until the new pattern of behavior becomes automatic.

17. Involve people early. When people are involved in helping to design change, they will be more committed to it. Although this approach is time-consuming, it pays off by giving people a sense of control over the change activity. They come to understand the change better and become committed to its successful implementation.

18. Apply after-action reviews. After-action reviews are quick sessions during which leaders review the outcome of change activities to see what worked, what didn't, and what can be learned from it.
