The Task:
You will produce a written report of 2400 words (+/- 10%) that critically assesses and evaluates your personal leadership using Seven Leadership Mindsets Theory (vMEME) and all the types of leadership approaches and styles it contains.
Critically analyse leadership problems and challenges through critical evaluation and appropriate application of theory

1. Critically evaluate how certain types of leadership/management styles differ depending on history, culture, geographic life and conditions
2. Critically evaluate how certain types of leadership/management styles impact people performance, productivity
3. Critically evaluate how certain types of leadership/management styles determine who will ‘follow and how’.
4. Critically evaluate your personal leadership capabilities and critically analyse the need for future development

Through application of Seven Leadership Mindsets Theory (vMEME) you will have a tool (and the skill) to critically assess and evaluate all types of personal leadership theories and worldviews that include USA, UK, China, European countries, India, Oman, GCC, African countries, etc. Leadership is different depending on the relevant mindset (life conditions, how individuals adapt to successfully compete and socio-cultural elements). Inevitably leadership mindset impacts everything in a company – strategy, people, performance, productivity, etc.
Instruction: Please answer all of the following questions:
A suggested structure for the written report would include the following: This assignment can be divided into three
equally weighted sections. These have been presented as three questions.

1. Create insight into your leadership style by answering questions about your personal leadership inside your organisation. To enable critical assessment and analysis:

1. Identify within in your organisation the range of leadership mindsets. What evidence do you see in leaders to underpin your assessment?
2. Give examples of leadership traits you may have observed in the organisation that typify the selected leadership mindset
3. Apply the seven mindsets theory to your key members of your team at your work place (Do not mention names).

mindsets.

3. Discuss how your understanding of ‘leadership’ has evolved as a result of the readings given in this unit.

 
* Further clarification to  be considered from the lecture  :
 

1. Assignment Brief: Each question asked is related to each session content and session reading.

2. Structure and Segmentation: I was very clear in LP Session 1 that this is not written like other reports you are doing for other units. The structure is to just answer the questions, one by one with referencing (no introduction, executive summary, conclusion, etc., etc.).

3. Contextualized Report: The assignment is asking you to critically analyse, using the Leadership Mindset-Thinking systems, your personal leadership, and of others in your team or organisation. The context is your role and individuals who work in your organisation.
4. Assignment Brief Question 3: Asks you to articulate your understanding of leadership before the unit and after. Has it is changes as a result of the theory and information you have studied? Has it not? Why? In what way?
5. Assignment Brief Intention: The intention of the assignment brief is detailed in the UiF and the Assignment Brief .

This assignment focuses on how the management practices of planning, leading, organizing, staffing, and controlling are implemented in your workplace. Find three scholarly, peer reviewed and other credible sources that provide information on Amazon.com’s business structure.
Here is the scenario and situation:
Assume you are an employee working in the Amazon warehouse, and you pack orders and categorize them into small, medium, and large batches. You are considered a packer. You have experience packing all sizes and have been with the organization for two years. You are considered one of their best employees, you have a solid reputation for being a hard worker, and all of your orders are packed correctly. You have also been busy; you recently completed Amazon’s management training program, and you have completed your BABA degree at the Forbes School of Business and Technology at the university.
Congratulations: You have just been promoted to manager. You will be relocated to a new plant that is two hours away that employs 100 employees. You will oversee a team of 10 supervisors and 90 packers and will now oversee the entire warehouse operation. How will you work to use and apply the five functions of management?
Now let’s apply the five functions. In your paper, include the following sections:

• Planning: Examine the specific areas you will choose to manage that fall under the planning function.
  • For example, what might be some of the things you will plan to do and implement to build an effective team and culture? People are the most important resource in any business, what do you plan to do to build a positive team culture? What processes and systems do you plan to use?
• Organizing: Assess if the present structure that Amazon has set up is working.
  • Do you need to make or suggest any changes to make it more efficient and effective? What structure will you use and implement? Explain how you will use departmentalization in your organizational structure.
• Staffing: Analyze your staffing needs.
  • How do you intend to staff your organization and replace members that leave or are promoted? How does the HR process apply? What things (if any) will you suggest?
• Leading: Justify the leadership theory and style you will follow to ensure efficiency.
  • Will you use transformational or transactional leadership? Why or why not?
• Controls: Identify what controls and measures you will implement.
  • How will you apply the four steps of control (establishing standards, measuring performance, comparing performance, and making decisions)?

Be sure to integrate vocabulary such as (communication, social loafing, team building, feedback control, leadership, discipline, human resource planning, authority, job design, responsibility, strategic management, tactics, leading, organizing, planning, staffing) to support your analysis. The paper should be five to six double-spaced pages in length, must include at least three scholarly sources and be formatted according to APA style guidelines.
