Research Project:

You will select two historical leaders – one who was known for making a positive contribution in a leadership role, and the other who made a negative contribution in a leadership role (one effective leader and one ineffective leader). Leaders from the following organizations cannot be selected for this project: Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, and Virgin.

Research the 2000 and later Fortune Global 1000 company lists and identify an effective leader and an ineffective leader (Chief Executive Officer or president of an organization).

Create a post that includes:

The CEO’s or president’s name and organization and why you selected them.
A brief summary (50 words or less) of the direction you would like to take with this project.
Please review the information on the Research Project guidelines for detailed instructions for the research paper prior to selecting your chosen leaders. Choose this individual carefully, as this selection will form the basis of assignments in this course.

Did you expect your score to be high or low? Any surprises? Are your stronger or milder points an asset? Does the self-assessment scale or rating accurately describe a trait, characteristic, behavior, cognition, or another aspect of your leadership? If so, which one(s) and why?

leadership self-reflections

As a individual with a higher leadership potential. Consider the questions below and compose a 200-word minimum reflective perspective summary about your results. Use the self-assessment document you completed from the textbook as your guide.

Did you expect your score to be high or low? Any surprises? Are your stronger or milder points an asset?
Does the self-assessment scale or rating accurately describe a trait, characteristic, behavior, cognition, or another aspect of your leadership cognition? If so, which one(s) and why? If the self-assessment is inaccurate, then how do you account for the difference between what it measures and your leadership style?

Based on the result of this self-assessment, do you need to make a change in a leadership behavior or cognition (way of thinking) that will improve your skills and make you a better leader? How would you start to make this change? If no change is needed, then how do you plan to use the information from the assessment?

Your self-assessment summary should be a comprehensive and well-organized analysis that clearly relates the self-assessment measurements and results to your personal leadership style, traits, characteristics, behaviors, and cognition. The analysis should be clear and logical. It should be grammatically sound and free of spelling errors. This is one of many leadership self-reflections in this course.

Discussion Forum 4

Address all parts of the question thoroughly and accurately and adhere to any instructions provided, including minimum words. Express yourself clearly using your own words, with minimal spelling or grammar mistakes. Include specific, relevant details from readings or other course material and demonstrate an understanding of course material. Show original thought by presenting facts and ideas that do not restate what others have said.

B. Answer one of the following questions from the video (remember to identify the question you are answering):

1. Where are you looking to anticipate the next change to your business model or your life? Who are you spending time with? On what topics? Where are you traveling? What are you reading? And then how are you distilling this into understanding potential discontinuities, and then making a decision to do something right now so that you’re prepared and ready?

2. What is the diversity measure of your personal and professional stakeholder network? If your network is not diverse what can you do to increase it’s diversity? You know, we hear often about good ol’ boy networks and they’re certainly alive and well in many institutions. But to some extent, we all have a network of people that we’re comfortable with. So this question is about your capacity to develop relationships with people that are very different than you. And those differences can be biological, physical, functional, political, cultural, socioeconomic. And yet, despite all these differences, they connect with you and they trust you enough to cooperate with you in achieving a shared goal. Great leaders understand that having a more diverse network is a source of pattern identification at greater levels and also of solutions, because you have people that are thinking differently than you are.

MBA580

You work as a middle manager for one of the top U.S. producers of luxury and mass-market automobiles and trucks. The chief technology officer (CTO) of the company from the course scenario has been researching new technology developments that the company could integrate into its vehicles to enhance their usefulness and access to sensor data. Such data is acquired by the many digital sensors that have been integrated into vehicle subsystems over the past 20–30 years. The technology trend of particular interest to the CTO is the internet of things (IoT), the interconnection of embedded devices such as sensors and computers over the internet to share data. For automobiles, the trend points to creating connected cars.

Prompt

Senior management has decided to explore IoT for the company’s trucks and cars. Your task is to create an internal memo explaining that the company should integrate IoT into its product line using the RWW (real, win, worth it) screening tool from the Module One resources and the information from the CTO Brief, Comparative Growth Data, Comparative Operating Statistics, and Comparative Product Plans documents. Consider the following:

Discuss the feasibility of the product line (refer to RWW screening tool question number one: Is it real?).

Is there a need or desire for the product?

Is the size of the potential market adequate?

Can the product actually be made?

Will the final product satisfy the market?

Discuss the ability of the company to win market share (refer to RWW screening tool question number two: Can we win?).

Will your company’s products have a competitive advantage?

How will your competitors respond?

Can your company understand the market properly?

Discuss the potential benefits to the company of producing this product (refer to RWW screening tool question number three: Is it worth doing?).

Will the product be profitable at an acceptable risk?

Does launching the product make strategic sense?

Does the product fit your company’s overall growth strategy?

Will your company’s senior management support this project?

Based on the answers to the questions above, explain the reasons why IoT and connected cars are strategically important to the company.

Consider the evolving customer needs and desires; how would they impact the company’s product plan?

What do you think competitors will do (if anything) in response to changes in your company’s development plan?

Do you think that accelerating development of connected cars will help grow the company?

Guidelines for Submission

This memo should be a Word document of 1–2 pages in length using double spacing, 12-poin

Describe a communication example that you have seen that is best described as propaganda. In addition to describing the communication, explain why you think this was propaganda rather than argumentation or persuasion.

CASE ASSIGNMENT:

For this assignment, review the basic concepts of persuasion discussed in Cialdini (2001) and McLean (2012). Make sure you are clear on the distinction between argument, persuasion, and propaganda.

Once you have finished reviewing the background materials, think about communication that you receive in your daily life that is intended to sway your attitudes, opinion, or behavior. This could be communication from your employer, YouTube videos, TV advertisements, spam email, and a host of other communication that you are exposed to in your daily life. After reviewing some communication examples, write a 3-page paper with a minimum of two scholarly sources (citing and referencing) addressing the following questions:

1.)Describe a communication example that you have seen that is best described as propaganda. In addition to describing the communication, explain why you think this was propaganda rather than argumentation or persuasion.

2.)Now find a communication example that you think is a good example of argumentation.

3.)Last, but definitely not least, find a communication example that is best defined as persuasion and best fits the concepts of persuasion discussed in Cialdini (2001) or McLean (2012). Explain why you think this communication best fits the definition of persuasion rather than propaganda or argumentation.
