Assignment: Selling the Vision
Leadership is not magnetic personalitythat can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing peoplethat is flattery. Leadership is lifting a persons vision to higher sights, the raising of a persons performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Peter F. Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices
Kotter (2001) identified creating a vision as one of the defining characteristics of leadership. Academics and business leaders alike seem to echo the sentiment; however, each offers his or her own guidelines and advice on how this critical task of setting a vision can be accomplished. As a scholar-practitioner in the field of business, you must draw on the work of others and add your voice to those developing a strategy for accomplishing this crucial leadership responsibility. More than that, you must develop a concrete mechanism for verifying the successful adoption of that vision. Even if you do not occupy a central leadership role, you can use the strategy you develop to help guide others in the field.
To prepare for this Assignment, reflect on Dr. Craig Marshs case study. Consider his challenges as well as his strengths and how you have adopted a model for corporate change. This model should include your organizational change or cultural change model, steps you would take to change the culture, and the dissection and explanation of how these steps will influence each of the challenges you face. Also included will be the mitigation plan to address the challenges, the creation of your vision statement, and a description of how you will translate your vision into measurable objectives. This week you compile these elements into one PowerPoint presentation that is your strategic plan to sell your vision to your organizational team.
By Day 7
Submit a 5- to 8-slide PowerPoint presentation, excluding title and References slides, that includes a leadership strategy for translating your vision into organizational success. In your PowerPoint presentation, do the following:
Create your vision statement.
Delineate your plan for how you will get others within the organization to adopt it as their own. In your plan, be sure to include the following:
The organizational change or cultural change model you used as the basis for your plan
An explanation of the steps you will take to change the culture and how these steps will influence each of the challenges you face
A brief description of the mitigation plan to address the challenges
Your PowerPoint presentation must contain a minimum of five scholarly resources on the last slide of the presentation. Additionally, in the Notes section of each slide, you must provide detailed support, including relevant citations, for the bulleted information within the slide. Your resources can be a combination of the Learning Resources used throughout this course and new scholarly resources. Note: Your presentation should adhere to the APA Presentation Template, found in this weeks Learning Resources.

Discussion: Appropriate Use of Transparency in Organizations
Consider the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1
Employees work in an atmosphere of distrust and fear. Leaders make decisions behind closed doors. Changes to processes and staffing often occur unexpectedly without warning or explanation. A few select people are given information and guard it jealously. Most employees do not get an opportunity to give input or feedback.
Scenario 2
Employees work in a small company where everyone knows everything about everyone and the rumor mill runs rampant. Leadership gives both praise and reprimands in public. They frequently discuss employees personal affairs.
These scenarios illustrate two extremes of transparency in business. Maintaining the right degree of transparency is a challenge for many organizations. Some leaders operate their organizations with an open-book management style. Others believe in carefully maintaining the security of information. Leaders must determine the appropriate level of transparency necessary for their organizations to stay healthy.
To prepare for this Discussion, consider your experience with transparency of information and decision making in organizations of which you have been a part, such as businesses or schools.
By Day 3
Post your evaluation of the appropriate use of transparency in an organization. In your analysis, be sure to address the following:
Explain what you believe to be the most appropriate level of transparency for an organization.
Identify any instances in which transparency would not be a good strategy.
Explain how a leader might exert influence-using transparency.
Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this weeks Learning Resources and one or more additional scholarly sources.
Refer to the Week 8 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.
Read a selection of your colleagues postings.
By Day 5
Respond to two or more of your colleagues postings in one or more of the following ways:
Offer a critique of or polite disagreement with your colleagues evaluation.
Provide an example from personal experience or scholarly literature that illustrates the appropriate level of transparency outlined in your colleagues post, and explain how it illustrates your colleagues viewpoint.
Please note that, for each response, you must include a minimum of one appropriately cited scholarly reference.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what insights you gained as a result of reading the comments your colleagues made.
