Organisational Behaviour and People Management Case Study Assignment
In this assessment, students are required to analyse a case study that describes an organisation facing the launch several projects designed to address three specific goals. In later modules, students work in groups to analyse the actual projects. In this assessment, they lay the groundwork for that latter analysis by first analysing the leadership styles/approaches they believe to be appropriate for project leadership in this environment.
Identifying and analysing leadership styles helps students to prepare for the management of the efforts of individuals who contribute to a project. This also introduces the concepts of power, and how the appropriate use of power can influence these efforts.
Instructions:
Address questions for case study - Students will read the case study and address the following:
Explain why you might choose one of the leadership styles discussed in this module's learning resources over another style when managing the highlighted project team.
Describe which tools and techniques discussed in the resources you might use as a PM to influence this project team.
Explain which of the 5 types of power (as described in Shenoy web article) you would employ to:
- influence the project team,
- motivate the team members to work collaboratively, and
- impact the project's success.
