Operation Behavior

FOR THIS PAPER, YOU MUST READ A PROPER BIOGRAPHY AND NOT ARTICLES FOUND ON THE INTERNET, ABOUT A BUSINESS OR NON-PROFIT LEADER WHO HAS CHANGED THEIR ORGANIZATION OR THE WAY BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED IN THE MODERN WORLD. FOR EXAMPLE, THINK OF THE BUSINESS INNOVATORS SUCH AS STEVE JOBS, JEFF BEZOS,  JACK MA, OPHRAH WINFREY, MARTHA STEWART, TYLER PERRY, OR THE FOUNDERS OF WALMART. Class: Below, please find some necessary guidelines for your biography paper. 1. What is your thesis or point you are making about your choice? -Why did you choose your person? -HOW DID THEY CHANGE THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS? FOR SUCCESS OR FAILURE? -HOW DID THEIR ROLES INFLUENCE BUSINESS OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR? 2. YOU SHOULD  ask if your person  was an authentic leader as discussed in chapter 12 of our textbook, “ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR.” IF THEY WERE, DID THIS HELP OR HINDER THEM IN CHANGING OR IMPROVING THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS? DID THEIR POSTIIVE LEADERSHIP PROMOTE TRUST IN EFFECTING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE? OR DID THEY ABUSE THEIR POWER IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AS DISCUSSED IN CHAPTER 13 OF OUR TEXTBOOK. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT ABUSE OF POWER DID WE WITNESS IN “MAD MEN” AND “HF”? Remember to give several examples from the biography to support your claim they did understand the differences or did not always? HOW DID THEY MANAGE CONFLICT, AS CHANGE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE USUALLY INVOLVED THIS CLASH OF PERSONALITIES? YOU CAN FIND HELPFUL IDEAS IN CHAPTER 14. THINK OF “HIDDEN FIGURES” OR “MAD MEN” AND HOW THE LEADERS OF THOSE ORGANIZAITONS MANAGED CONFLICT. WAS THEIR  BEHAVIOR CONSTRUCTIVE OR NOT? PLEASE LIMIT BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION TO ONE PAGE AS THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER. THIS IS MORE A REFLECTION PAPER AS YOU APPLY IDEAS AND CONCEPTS FROM YOUR READING AND OUR CLASS.  YOU SHOULD ALSO  CITE CONCRETE EXAMPLES FOR THE WORK LIFE OF YOUR CHOICE, AND APPLY THEM TO YOUR OWN LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE, PERHAPS OPRAH WHO SOME WRITERS HAVE CREDITED WITH CHANGING THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT, OVERCOME INCREDIBLE ADVERSITY. PERHAPS YOU ADMIRE HER FORM OF LEADERSHIP, TO THE POINT OF HERE BEING A SERVANT MODEL AS DISCUSSED IN CHAPTERS 12 AND 13. OR YOU ADMIRE JACK MA AND HIS PERSONALITY TYPE, MOTIVATIONAL THEORY, AND LEADERSHIP STYLE. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY MODEL YOUR WORK AND LEADERSHIP STYLE AFTER HIM.  PLEASE USE THE MLA STYLE, AND LIMIT THE USE OF FOOTNOTES. AGAIN, THIS IS MORE A REFLECTION THAN A RESEARCH PAPER. BEST WISHES, PROFESSOR LONG
