Study Notes

Leadership II Agenda

Authentic leadership emphasizes self-awareness, internalized moral perspective, and balanced information processing. Relational transparency is crucial for inspiring and empowering others. Personal growth and development are essential for leaders.
Life stories and overcoming adversity are valuable for authentic leadership. Core values, motivation, and the support of a team enable effective leadership development.
Leaders should actively seek great feedback to improve their authentic leadership abilities.
Conflict is a process where differing interests/emotional antagonisms cause friction between parties. It can be positive or negative, depending on the context and outcome. Conflict is essential when evaluating potential organizational and team synergy.
Conflict is not inherently bad, and can positively support organizational performance and growth.

Conflict @ Work + Negotiation

Conflict is a process where one party feels its interests are threatened by another. It may result from issues of substance or emotional antagonisms.
Negotiation is a joint decision-making process between parties with differing preferences. Examples include salary negotiations and athlete contracts.
Negotiation types include distributive (fixed pie) and integrative.
Strategies include various conflict management techniques, communication, and interpersonal skills/styles. BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) is important for any negotiation strategy, and requires thorough planning and preparation.
Strategies for conflict resolution and management are essential for leadership.

Advanced Negotiation/Simulations

Spotlighted issues in advanced negotiations include rivalries, time pressure, and audience presence.
Effective negotiation requires careful attention to potential core concerns, including autonomy and appreciation.
Important skills for negotiation include being aware and sensitive to the different party's needs. Negotiators should seek to understand the "why" behind the other person's position and not just focus on the "what."

Socialization

Socialization is a process in which members acquire attitudes, behaviors, and knowledge essential for organizational integration. Different approaches exist for socialization processes, often dependent on the length of an individual's employment and expected role in an organization.
There are three main stages of socialization: anticipatory, encounter, and role management.
Important habits for effective socialization include considering the other party, and avoiding self-serving biases when considering and establishing common ground.

Decision Making

Rational decision-making models assume a rational decision-maker. However, several constraints limit decision-making in practice. These include time constraints, limited information, and decision biases.
Alternative models, such as the garbage can model and the administrative model, acknowledge the complexity and uncertainties in decision-making processes.
Decision-making can be risky in team settings, and requires careful consideration to avoid groupthink and polarization. Techniques like nominal group technique, brainstorming, and the Delphi method are helpful for group decision-making.

Effective Teams

Effective teams are characterized by mutual support and interdependent member goals. Differences often improve team cohesion.
Ineffective teams struggle with collaboration.
Ineffective teams often demonstrate poor interpersonal communication, and suffer from poor leadership or direction.

Organizational Change

Organizational change is a complex process that involves several considerations, including organizational strategies, organizational support, and understanding various stages of change in a team or organization.
Change is not always easy and organizations may rely on multiple approaches to improve their competitive advantage, such as transitional or radical approaches.
The implications of organizational culture should be considered when implementing organizational change.
Lewin's three-stage model for change (unfreezing, changing, refreezing) is a useful framework for understanding and planning change.

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture encompasses the values, beliefs, and behaviours that shape how things are done within an organization. This can be displayed through common artifacts, shared beliefs, and tangible behaviors. Culture has a profound affect on success in any organization.

Interpersonal communication

Effective communication is crucial for achieving shared meaning between communicators. Differences in interpretation can lead to miscommunications and difficulties in achieving desired goals.

Ethical Consideration

Making ethical decisions requires careful consideration of both internal/management perspectives as well as external/public relations considerations.
