Topic: 5 blogs

There are 5 blogs. per blog 750 words.
Theme 1: Leadership and Ethics

Please respond to the following statement: “Ethical Leadership is defined as “the demonstration of normatively appropriate conduct through personal actions and interpersonal relationships, and the promotion of such conduct to followers through two-way communication, reinforcement and decision-making”… [and] the evidence suggests that ethical leader behavior can have important positive effects on both individual and organizational effectiveness” (Rubin et al 2010: 216-17).

It is recommended that you post your 1st blog by week 3 to start generating responses before you submit your work through moodle

To help you put the right emphasis on this theme you should consider it in 2 parts:

Part 1: Ethical leadership, is defined as “the demonstration of normatively appropriate conduct through personal actions and interpersonal relationships, and the promotion of such conduct to followers through two-way communication, reinforcement and decision-making”… [and]
Part 2: the evidence suggests that ethical leader behavior can have important positive effects on both individual and organizational effectiveness (Rubin et al 2010: 216-17).

Structure: So, having identified the 2 parts to this theme you can now start to structure your response: We are looking for you to introduce the theme, reference the theory, use real examples and conclude using your own words and views, backed up by the theory.

Part 1: What are the different sides of this debate ie the 2 principle areas of ethics? (see Unit 1 for a brief summary) and what model of leadership have you chosen to help to define the complex concept of ethical leadership?
Part 2: What organisational examples of good and bad ethical behaviour from your chosen industry illustrate this debate?
What are your conclusions from this debate for your understanding of the role of a manager or leader in your chosen industry?
Checklist. After you’ve written your blog, read it to check if you have …….:

Made reference to the 2 principle schools of ethics, their benefits and limitations and 1 model of ethical leadership.
Used real-life industry examples to highlight the impact ethical and non-ethical leadership behaviour can have on individual and organisational effectiveness
Made recommendations for managers on how to use knowledge of effective ethical behaviour to produce better results.
What you must NOT do. Do not simply gather together a series of quotes from published authors in the hope that this presents your views. Remember Socrates words of wisdom: To believe without evidence and demonstration is an act of ignorance and folly.

Theme 2: The challenge of managing diverse teams

Please respond to the following statement: “Research has consistently shown that diverse teams produce better results, provided they are well led. The ability to bring together people from different backgrounds, disciplines, cultures, and generations and leverage all they have to offer, therefore, is a must-have for leaders” (Ibarra and Hansen 2011: 71).

Part 1: Draw on research, theories and team building models to help you explore the advantages and the challenges diverse teams bring to organisations
Part 2: Is the ability to manage a diverse team the most important skill for your chosen industry? You must present your argument here and justify your response by making reference to leaders and organisations in your chosen industry. You have already explored your chosen industry in ECS so you can draw on your research from ECS to help you here.
How might a manager use the knowledge of diversity to produce better results? Present your discussion drawing on your research and industry leaders.
What are your conclusions from this debate?
Caution: Many students spend far too much of their allocated word allowance on the definition of a diverse team. We do not need long definitions of what a diverse team is. Ibarra and Hansen have already provided you with a reference here regarding some of the main components of a diverse team ie people from different backgrounds, disciplines, cultures and generations. We want you to focus on the research which examines the challenge of team diversity which will lead you to making recommendations for managing diverse teams.

Made reference to team theory and research, analysing the advantages and limitations

Theme 3 – Most effective Leadership & Management Styles & approaches

Please respond to the following statement: “Which personal style should managers adopt to ensure success? What is the most effective approach to managing the work of subordinates? These questions have been extensively researched and debated over the last century, and while the general consensus has moved away from ‘command and control’ to management and leadership towards more consultative and participative approaches, there is no single ideal, as the best approach may vary according to circumstances and individual characteristics” (CMI 2013).
