There are examples of individualistic and collectivist cultures found in every group or community

/in /by

There are two Assignments.
Unit 8 Assignment 1: Leadership and Culture
There are examples of individualistic and collectivist cultures found in every group or community. However, each nation is typified by one or the other types of cultures (Hofstede, 1980). In the early 1990s, the United Kingdom (UK) debated over accepting the Euro as its currency, eventually opting out of adopting it as the common currency in 1992. In June of 2016 a new vote was taken regarding the option to exit the European Union spearheaded by the Prime Minister and his political party.
Preliminary steps:
Complete the Learning Activity regarding individualism and collectivism.
Analyze how the UK is more of an individualistic culture versus a collectivist culture (Read Chapter 12 in your text, Box 12.3, Can You Be Comfortable with Conflict?) based on the present UK relationship with the European Union.
Read “Managing and Moving” in your text on pages 266–268.
Read about “Brexit” concerning the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom’s leadership involvement.
Checklist:

  • Briefly summarize what happened.
  • Analyze the following:
    • The individualistic culture of the U.K. versus a collectivist culture and how that possibly influenced the “Brexit” vote.
    • How could the Prime Minister have more successfully communicated and led his nation to achieve his desired goal based on the individualistic culture?

Access Assignment 1 rubric.
Submit your APA formatted and citation styled 2-page minimum paper which evinces correct spelling and grammar to the Assignment 1 Dropbox.
Unit 8 Assignment 2: Managers are plentiful…we need some leaders!
Business is often conducted through international teams physically located in one spot to work together or brought together via conference calls and the internet for short-term tasks. Leading a team, especially an international one, can be a challenge.
For this Assignment, you should make sure to read about leadership and cross-cultural training, practice with leadership styles and Hofstede’s 5 cultural dimensions tutorial in the Learning Activities. Besides your chapter reading, you can consult the Internet to assist you in completing this Assignment.
Assignment:
Scenario:
The KAPResources Consulting firm, has asked two relocated U.S. employees (1 female and 1 male expatriate) along with two newly hired male Spanish employees and the female French HR Director to assemble themselves as a team under the leadership of Carla Baskil (Puerto Rico office). Initially, Carla will meet with her team in person and then, on an ongoing basis, meet via video conferencing. This small team of five in Spain will, once interconnected as a team, be tasked with creating the larger office team with a total of 75 employees. Carla knows that creating this initial team will help the larger group of employees and their spouses acculturate to the company and the country.
You, in the role of Carla, are tasked with leading this small team of five to make them feel more interconnected. This will prepare them to better guide the larger team of 70 additional employees to feel more like a team, thus making them more productive and content in their employment.
An idea occurs to you to have a dinner party where everyone brings their spouse for a total of 11 dinner guests (which includes you).
Read the following article on cross-cultural training (Kassar, Rouhana, & Lythreatis, 2015), and then think of how it might apply to the scenario and checklist items below.
Checklist:

  • Propose a plan for the dinner event for employees and spouses to meet, interact, and feel more interconnected.
  • How might you as Carla motivate the team and spouses to better interconnect and break the cultural barriers?
  • What activities at the dinner event might enhance the adaptation process?
  • Explain how you will overcome the cultural challenges involved.

Task
back to top
Jim Collins stated that a company does not go from good to great overnight but by relentlessly pushing a giant heavy flywheel in one direction, building momentum until a point of breakthrough. The power of momentum is evident in the Harvard Business Review’s (HBR 2017) ranking of the world’s best CEO’s. Judged solely on the basis of financial performance the top leader would be Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos. However the rankings are now based on not just financial but also on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. This resulted in Bezos coming in at number 71.  According to the HBR researchers, the use of ESG information is driven by financial rather than ethical motives.

  1. In today’s turbulent world, how should the success of CEOs be evaluated?
  2. What are the challenges of focusing on just financial metrics to the long term success of organisations?
  3. What are the challenges leaders face in balancing financial and ESG performance metrics? Drawing on current leadership research (in the last 5 years) discuss how leaders should  address these challenges.

Use examples of three current CEOs (leaders), to support your answers to questions 1, 2 and 3. Critically evaluate how each leader’s practice of leadership impacts the success of their organisation. You can use a different example for each of the questions above or use the three examples across the questions.
Use relevant theories and concepts from across the subject but especially from weeks 6 to 9 in addressing this task
A minimum of 10 academic/professional references must be used
Rationale

Review the 100 Best Companies to Work For published by Forbes in 2015. Select a company on the list. Give a brief overview of the company, including the company culture. Then, go into detail about how it motivates its employees and how team building is used. In your opinion, why is this company the best to work for?

1. COLLAPSE

Wegmans Food Markets is a family owned grocery chain with 95 stores mainly in the northeast part of North America. Founded in 1950, Wegmans has been on Fourtune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” since 1998 when the first list was created, topping the list in 2005 at #1, and most recently in 2017, ranking #2. Wegmans is different from a normal grocery store chain because of their strong belief, company wide, in their mission statement of “helping people live healthier, better lives through food.”
Wegmans motivates its employees by having a strong employee benefit program. This benefit system includes tuition assistance totaling $4.5 million every year. Wegmans also is very loyal to their employees, spending $50 million on employee development, including department universities, online training, workshops, cooking technique certifications, and talent development programs like internships, management trainee and leadership development programs to name only some of them. Wegmans also filled 50% of open positions internally last year. Wegmans encourages their employees to share new and innovating ideas with “higher-ups” with things such as Open Door Days, Huddles, Focus Groups, a two-way Q&A blog with their SVP of Operations. Wegmans believes that this will allow the voice of the everybody to be heard.
I believe Wegmans is a great company to work for because of the time and money they invest into their employees. If I were a Wegmans employee, knowing how much the company cares about each individual employee would motivate me to be at my best every time I went to work because I know that the company will be there for me when it’s needed. I don’t think I have ever heard of another company spending so much of its resources on advancing the lives of their employees. And this is why I think Wegmans is at a deserving spot at #2 on the list.

2. I choose Whole Foods Market for my discussion this week. Whole Food Market was ranked number 55 on the 2015 list and has been on the list every year since the list started. WFM was founded in 1980 with only one store. Over the last 38 years they have grown to 477 stores throughout the US and the UK. The company’s website (www.wholefoodsmarket.com) had the following values or what they call their motto “Our motto — Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet — emphasizes that our vision reaches far beyond just being a food retailer. Our success in fulfilling our vision is measured by customer satisfaction, team member happiness and excellence, return on capital investment, improvement in the state of the environment and local and larger community support.”.
WFM really tries to make their employees happy and it shows by the fact that they have made the list many times. I also have personal experience with this since I once worked there. I started out gathering carts from the parking lot and transitioned through out almost every department in the store. They continually try to promote from with in and give you opportunities to cross train and learn new skills. They have gainsharing or profit sharing that helps keep employees involved in their teams and strive to make the organization better. One thing that really stood out was their constant pressure to help the customers. If you have ever been indecisive about buying a new food, this is the place to go. All team members were encouraged to open a product up for a customer so that they could taste it. While I worked there I tried more food and expanded my food knowledge more than any other time in my life.
What really makes an organization a great place to work is the care for the employees. This makes the biggest difference. You can tell when a company cares about you versus a company that just wants you to make them money. Having worked for two different companies on the “100 Best Places to Work”, caring is what makes the difference.
