Cava’s Leadership: Incumbent Leader Case

Colorado State University Cava’s Leadership: Incumbent Leader Case Discussion

his option entails an assessment of Real Time Case—Cava’s Leadership: Incumbent Leader. During this process, you will create a consulting/coaching report to recommend how this leader can be more effective. Thus, your job is to prepare a Personal Development Plan (PDP) tailored to the needs of this individual.
 

The leader’s PDP will allow the leader to better understand himself or herself, as an individual, as a member of teams, and as an organizational citizen, as well as to create opportunities for improvement goals. Thus, the PDP provides an understanding of this leader’s current characteristics and how the leader can become more effective as a follower, a leader, and a team member. Include theories and concepts from the course in your response. Remember to comply with the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA (Links to an external site.) in citing your sources and creating your reference page, as well as the entire format of the submission.

SECTION 1

First, articulate the leader’s strengths and weaknesses, values, and personality. Can you identify this leader’s Myers-Briggs personality type? You need to understand the person before describing explanatory theories, concepts, and fit in teams and organizations. This section can include materials from observations, interviews, assessment instruments, and application of objective evidence.

Individual Assessment (3-5 pages)

• Strengths/Weaknesses
• Values
• Personality

SECTION 2

Next, articulate theories and concepts to explain the leader’s behavior at three levels of analysis (individual, team, and organization). In addition, discuss factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) that may alter the theory/concept’s operation. This section should include the following:

Theory/Concepts at the Individual Level (1-2 pages)

• What theories/concepts that describe this leader’s behavior as an individual?
• What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts?

Theory/Concepts at the Team Level (1-2 pages)

• What theories/concepts describe this leader’s behavior as team member?
• What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts?

Theory/Concepts the Organization Level (1-2 pages)

• What theories/concepts describe this leader’s behavior as an organizational citizen?
• What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts?

SECTION 3

The final section looks to the future. Choose and describe at least one developmental goal at each of the three levels of analysis: the individual level, the team level, and the organizational level for the leader (include your description of Cava’s culture in your paper). For each development goal, please provide the goal, development activities (how the leader can work toward accomplishing the objective), resources/support (that the leader has or can develop toward achieving the goal), timeline, potential obstacles, and evidence of progress (i.e., milestones), as detailed below:

Development Goals (2-3 pages)

• Development Goal (Individual Level)
  • Development Activities
  • Resources/Support
  • Timeline
  • Potential Obstacles
  • Evidence of Progress
• Development Goal (Team Level)
  • Development Activities
  • Resources/Support
  • Timeline
  • Potential Obstacles
  • Evidence of Progress

• Development Goal (Organizational Level)
• Development Activities
• Resources/Support
• Timeline
• Potential Obstacles
• Evidence of Progress
• References

Your paper should be 10-12 pages (excluding cover page and references) and formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA (Links to an external site.). Be sure to integrate and reference concepts, terms, and theories from the course readings and module content. You must include a minimum of eight credible, peer reviewed and/or industry references beyond the textbook or other course materials.
