Preparing for Task 2: Section A The following section is designed to help you prepare for the submission of Task 2 of the performance assessment. Writing Resources Before you begin Task 2, please refer to the WGU Writing Center. General writing questions: The WGU Writing Center: Home Page Articulation and organization: I Need Help with Professional Communication A place to visit before submitting Task 2: Integrated Performance Assessment Submission Student Portal Video WGU Library: Library Tips for Task 2: Organization and Leader Analysis Please use the following tips to help you complete your leadership analysis. Write this paper in the third person. Read through the entire task instructions and rubric requirements prior to completing Task 2. Use a different scholarly leadership theory in Task 2 than the one chosen in Task 1. Note: The current leader that you choose must be someone other than yourself. The paper should be 1016 pages, not including the cover page and references. Please be both descriptive (who, what, when, and where), and explanatory (why and how). Evaluators assess your paper based on the specificity of your response, not on the generalizations. Note: Meeting the rubric criteria is more important than writing a number of pages. A. Organization Description Describe an existing organization with which you have had personal experience and where you have either had direct access to a leader or have been able to observe a leader. Describe the organization’s objectives. The organization can be a for-profit or a nonprofit business, and you may represent any level of the organization (e.g., the team, department, division, or whole) in your analysis. You must change the name of the organization and employee names. Provide a detailed discussion of the organization. Discuss the history and background of the organization. Discuss the vision and mission of the organization. Discuss the purpose and objectives of the organization. Think of the goals, financial objectives, and strategic objectives of the organization. Provide citations where needed. A1. Leadership Practices In this section, you will provide specific descriptions of three leadership practices of the current leader. The current leader must be someone other than yourself. Provide specific examples that illustrate the practice. Clearly state the leader’s title and (fictitious) name. The leader analyzed in A1 will be the same leader analyzed in C1, C2, and C3. Write a separate paragraph on each of the three practices. Note: A leadership practice (or function) is different from a leadership theory. This section, A1, only discusses practice, not theory. Example: One leadership practice of the CEO is to provide strategic leadership to the organization. In the performance of this responsibility, the CEO forms the organization’s vision and mission while forming and implementing strategy. The value of strategic leadership is determining the organization’s direction by effectively managing the organization’s resources in pursuit of the organization’s vision. (This is a small draft of the leadership practice narrative. You are required to illustrate further how the individual performs the leadership responsibility and what value the responsibility provides to the organization.) A2. Effects of Current Leader on Culture In this section, discuss how the current leader of the organization has affected the culture based on their underlying beliefs, assumptions, and values. A leader’s values and beliefs shape the culture of an organization.

Describe how the leader has affected the organization’s culture in a positive or negative manner. Provide examples to support your analysis.

SWOT Analysis In this section, conduct a SWOT analysis of the chosen organization. In this analysis, please address the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the organization. Remember, strengths are positive, weaknesses are negative, opportunities are unmet, and threats are unresolved. The SWOT analysis should be at the same level as the organization used in the organization description from Section A (e.g., the team, department, division, or whole). Note: The accepted model for a SWOT analysis defines strengths and weaknesses as internal to the organization and opportunities and threats as external to the organization. B1.

C1.

Global Staffing

This competency assessment assesses the following outcomes:

MT220M5-5: Use the appropriate strategic approach for an international business scenario.

PC-4.3: Apply concepts of cultural competence to become an agent of change.

In the Module 5 Assessment, you will have the opportunity to apply research to recommend a course of action for a given business scenario related to global staffing considerations. When an organization opens facilities in foreign locations, many decisions must be carefully considered and confirmed to ensure its overall strategy is reflected in staffing policy. Part of this policy’s development will involve familiarization with the foreign country’s legal requirements regarding remuneration and work environment. Another area that requires attention is creating an environment where the corporate culture established at headquarters in the host country can be successfully introduced and supported in the subsidiary location.

Scenario: As the owner of a U.S.-based coffee distributor, you have recently acquired a competing coffee processing facility based in another country (use the same country you selected for a previous assessment from the list: Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Greece, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, or Portugal. There is a very small existing staff, but you need to expand operations rapidly, which will require hiring more employees. After researching how cultural and legal differences might impact HRM in this nation, you must recommend to your management team what approach the company should take to staff this growing facility.

For this assessment, use the reading in Chapter 19 of the text and any additional relevant research sources to develop an informative essay addressing the checklist items below.
