Description

Synthesize the topics of leadership and teams by crafting an essay in which, using supporting materials, you assess the theory and practice of leadership as it relates to teams.

In your critical essay, address both of the following items:

  1. Describe and explain how one leadership model (a model deemed valid by today’s research standards, as discussed in the module material) interacts with the most important performance outcomes with regard to teams.
  2. Choose one or two contemporary leadership theories and describe how a leader who was following the tenets of the theory or theories would interact with the members of his or her team in order to maximize the strengths of work teams in general while mitigating the pitfalls of such teams. Support your thinking by describing and applying at least one example, which can be based on an actual case or a hypothetical one.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

  • 3-4 pages in length
  • Formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
  • Cite a minimum of two scholarly sources, at least one of which is not provided in, or linked from, the course. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find scholarly sources!

Write clearly and logically, as you will be graded on content, analysis, and your adherence to the tenets of good academic writing, which should be succinct where possible while also exploring the topics appropriately. Although two outside scholarly sources are required for this paper, remember that you can always improve your work by providing support from additional outside scholarly sources, which helps both to bolster your own assertions and supplement your ideas.

important performance outcomes with regard to teams.
The best contemporary leadership model according to National Research Council (2015)
is the team leadership model for leading teams with focus and style. It entails several stages
including creating a team, steering the team, developing the team, supporting the team,
performance and achieving results, stimulating, sustaining team performance and synergizing.
This leadership model aptly fits and meets all the organizational performance outcomes
since it empowers teams to become inherently motivated to work (Wageman, Nunes & James,
2012). By installing this intrinsic motivation in teams, the model helps to build resilient and
determined teams. Such teams go against all odds to ensure that they deliver top quality
outcomes and thrive in delivering quality products and services even amid challenges (National
Research Council, 2015). Intrinsic motivation and determination to offer quality products and
meet targets is a core value for teams and he...
