performance, productivity
7. Critically evaluate how certain types of leadership/management styles determine
who will ‘follow and how’.
8. Critically evaluate your personal leadership capabilities and critically analyse the

humans individuals adapt to successfully compete and socio-cultural elements). Inevitably

A suggested structure for the written report would include the following: This assignment can
be divided into four equally weighted sections. These have been presented as four
questions.
1. Having considered the theory, research and science, characteristics of organisations
identify and assess:
a. The seven structures and systems present in your organisation
b. Analyse and describe how the present Leadership Value Systems and Structures in
your organisation impact on leadership, management and staff.
c. Consider and analyse differences to your competitors (local or global)
d. Consider to what extent are these differences positive points of differentiation or
negative traits of the organisation
2. Now that you understand your organisations structure consider your organisations sector.
Critically analyse:
a. How has your sector evolved?
b. In what way do they differ to your competitors (local or global)
c. To what extent are these differences positive points of differentiation or negative
traits of the organisation
3. Having examined change and transformation critically assess an analyse how to ensure
your organisation’s continued growth and success, organisations need to undertake
transformation and growth.
a. What kinds of changes are taking place in your sector and what do you believe the
most successful organisations are doing to embrace the changes required to deliver
continued success?
b. To what extent is your organisation at the forefront of this transformation (or maybe it
is trailing some of the best organisations in the sector). Give examples of specific
actions and leadership behaviours you are seeing to underpin your view.
4. Every organisation faces challenges and problems, which can be driven from rapid growth
or serious decline. Identify and critically assess:
a. The top two or three big issues your organisation is facing
