You are the president of XYZ Manufacturing company. You have recently learned about the following issue:

A month ago, the company’s general manager (GM) told one of the line managers to produce an extra 15,000 units of a product so that there would be inventory in stock for the next time the item is ordered. Last week, the GM scolded the line manager for having 15,000 units of the item in stock. The GM told the line manager that producing excess inventory costs the company money and should never be done. The GM then puts the line manager on a performance plan. This is not the first time you have heard about the GM telling an employee to do one thing only to criticize him or her for doing it later.

This employee feels very frustrated by this, but does not want to make a formal complaint because she has seen other employees lose their jobs or get demoted for questioning the GM.

Create an outline that proposes a leadership solution to this issue. The outline should address the following:

  • How      the culture of the organization contributed to this issue
  • How      the structure of the organization contributed to this issue
  • A      plan to change organizational culture while maintaining the current      structure of the organization
  • A      coaching plan to help the general manager change this behavior and improve      his leadership skills

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

  • Title      page: Remember the running head. The title      should be in all capitals.
  • Length: 5      pages
  • Abstract: This      is a summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third      person.
  • Body: This      begins on the page following the title page and abstract page and must be      double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between      paragraphs). The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier      in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as      required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of      the body of your paper for this assignment is 5 pages. In-body academic      citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety      of academic sources is encouraged.
  • Reference      page: References that align with your      in-body academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The      references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hanging      indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the      type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a bibliography      but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the      paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation.

: Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Focus on the following questions:
 

Part 1

  • What is an ethical leader? Provide your own brief definition. 
  • Do you think an ethical leader is always a good leader? Justify your answer. 
  • How do your own moral beliefs influence your leadership decisions? Have you ever made an ineffective leadership decision by following your moral beliefs? 

Part 2

Conduct a multi-source review of the literature on servant leadership. Use high-level synthesis thinking to respond to the following questions:

  • Is it      possible to lead and serve at the same time? Do you think followers would  respect a leader who is serving them? Please justify your answers. 
  • Review the 10 characteristics of a servant leader (see the link in your Resource      section). 
    • Do you  think it is possible for anyone to have all of these characteristics? 
    • Do you  think a servant leader has to be a moral leader? Explain your responses.

Class – Answers will vary on this DB! In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

Part 1

  • Recognize that ethics are based on one’s personal morals, and therefore an ethical leader is not always a good leader because his or her morals may not align to the most effective leadership      decisions.
  • Ethics and leadership are more about the leader’s set of moral beliefs being a priority. 

Part 2

  • The goal of serving and leading is to understand that by serving the followers, you build trust and loyalty, and they will in turn follow you. You can serve and lead because by serving and listening to your followers, you understand their needs and are able to build them and develop them. When you      develop them, you make them better leaders, so you are serving their needs  to become better.
  • Although responses will vary, the servant leader will generally move in and out of these characteristics. They will use a combination of  these characteristics at different times. These      characteristics show the overall heart and focus of the servant leader. The characteristics of a servant leader are moral behaviors.
