Module 5 Discussion (Objective 5).
Organizational effectiveness provides outward indices of leadership in action. For example, transformational leaders seeks to empower team members by moving them beyond immediate self-interest towards the achievement of organizational goals.
To provide you with deeper insight into organizational activities that intersect with leadership in action, a data source (Raes et al. 2012, p. 287) is attached to this discussion for your review. This article connects leadership styles to organizational activities.
After completing readings in Covey (1991) and viewing the three-part video series that provides insight into cultivating organizational effectiveness, respond to the following questions.
1. What does organizational effectiveness mean to you?
2. What are Covey’s (1991) perspectives on leadership in action and do they coincide with the leadership ethos in the organization in which you work?
2. What initiatives and/or activities do the leaders in your work environment encourage and support?
4. Do the leaders in your organization support you in the work you do, and if not, what can you do to change such conditions. Answers to this question are discussed in the three-part video series in Module 5
