nit 3 – Individual Project

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTIONDeliverable Length:

750 – 1,250 words (excluding the cover and reference pages)

OBJECTIVES

Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday, and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the Late Penalty Policy found in the Syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.

For this assignment, you are asked to review and respond to a case study. The intention of the case study is to bring together your awareness and understanding of the manager’s challenges in the organization.

One of the most significant leadership responsibilities and challenges is the individual and the group behavior associated with the organization’s culture. Leadership is responsible for creating the organization’s culture.

Culture defines the rules of the game. First, it is a boundary-defining role: it creates distinctions between organizations. Second, it conveys a sense of identity for organization members. Third, culture facilitates commitment to something larger than individual self-interest. Fourth, it enhances the stability of the social system. Culture is the social glue that helps hold the organization together by providing standards for what employees should say and do. Finally, it is a sense-making and control mechanism that guides and shapes employees’ attitudes and behavior.

Focus your attention on the following case study:

• Case Incident 1: “Ethical Dilemma: Culture of Deceit,” Chapter 16, p. 573
  • For additional insight, review Common Leadership Challenges and How to Overcome Them.
  • Additional insight can be found in this TEDx Talk on culture and leadership.
  • Respond to questions 16-10, 16-11, and 16-12.

Read and review the case study, and respond to the presented case study questions associated with the case studies in a single assignment input for this Individual Project. Conduct research on the subject matter and provide at least two scholarly resources as references with corresponding citations meeting APA standards.

If there are any questions you have regarding these two case studies, reach out to your instructor. In addition, be sure to attend or listen to the Live Chats because that is where you will be able to ask questions and gain further insight into what is being addressed in the case studies.
