Discussion Assignment
In the discussion forum, you are expected to participate often and engage in deep levels of discourse. You are required to post an initial response to the question/issue presented in the Forum by Sunday evening and then respond to at least 3 of your classmates’ initial posts. You should also respond to anyone who has responded to you. 
Leadership is a very difficult role to fill. The right balance between management and encouragement must be present. Leaders must ensure that objectives are met, productivity rises, and people are happy. This puts leaders under immense pressure. Leaders must make ethical decisions regarding the pros and cons of the task and the people involved.   
For this discussion assignment, refer to Chapter 12.3 What Do Leaders Do? Behavioral Approaches to Leadership of your textbook and focus on people and task-oriented behaviors.   
Explain a professional or personal situation where an individual was distinctly people-oriented.  
Provide another situation where an individual was task-oriented.  
For each example, explain if they were right or wrong and if they were ethical in their behavior. 
Your Discussion should be a minimum of 200 words in length and not more than 500 words. Please include a word count. Following the APA standard, use references and in-text citations for the textbook and any other sources.
