Purpose of Assessment The contemporary
workforce is rapidly changing from a myriad of
demographics. The effective leader must be
skilled in managing the diverse workforce. You
will be measured on how you demonstrate the
alignment of your personal values against the
values of the company as well as your ability to
speak clearly and with precision. You will use
Microsoft PowerPoint audio in your presentation
to convey the information for this assessment.
Scenario Youve been asked to lead a session on
workplace diversity at a leadership conference.
Identify a company or organization that has a
diverse workplace. Explain the practices that are
in place to support diversity as an example to
start the discussion. Use this example to create
an appropriate strategy for identifying and
implementing leadership strategies for
additional support.
7
  • Prepare an 8 to 12slide Microsoft PowerPoint
    presentation with audio narration that covers
    the following
  • Describe the challenges that come with leading a
    diverse workforce.
  • Identify the company you chose.
  • Assess the practices already in place for
    supporting diversity.
  • Determine the skills that leaders need to lead a
    diverse workforce (e.g.interpersonal skills).
  • Include your results from the Personal Leadership
    Evaluation you completed inWeek 1. Assess the
    applicable skills you possess and which ones you
    lack.
  • Utilizing the Personal Leadership Evaluation
    results, explain to your audience how to
    maximize strengths and improve weaknesses in
    ways to support diversity in the workplace.

8
  • Assess 3 key takeaways that you want the
    attendees to remember about leadership in a
    diverse workplace. To build a case on their
    importance and value to the organization, discuss
    how implementing these points could impact the
    bottom line (profits, expenses, and
    productivity).
  • Speak with clarity and precision in the audio
    narration of your presentation.

Cite peerreviewed, scholarly, or similar
references to support your assignment. You may

CH. 12 Case Incident 1 Sharing Is Performing
11
Replacing Nicholas Dirks as the chancellor of
University of California at Berkeley, Carol T.
Christ is taking on a strategy that her
predecessors did not utilize sharing
leadership. Notably, the prior chancellor and
provost would not consult other decision makers
and stakeholders at the university when they
proposed to dissolve completely the College of
Chemistry. Christ, on the other hand, met with
Frances McGinley, the student vice president of
academic affairs, reaching out to get a beat on
what student government was doing and how she
could help. This move was unusual because
McGinley would often have to track down the
other administrators to even get a meeting (or
would be merely delegated work). Another such
arrangement between Jill Martin and David Barrs
at a high school in Essex, England, designates
special interest areas where each takes the
lead, and they both share an educational
philosophy, meet daily, have the authority to
make decisions on the spot, and challenge one
another. As Declan Fitzsimons suggests in a
Harvard Business Review article, the
twenty-first century moves too quickly and is too
dynamic to be handled by one person. By sharing
leadership among multiple individuals, the
organization can respond more adaptively to
challenges, share disparate but complementary
perspectives, and ease the burden experienced by
the traditional charismatic leader figurehead.
However, sharing leadership leads to its own
issues and obstacles, which are apparent in the
multiple relationships between team members,
subordinates, and other employees. Not only do
individual identities become involved, but so do
collective identities shared as a group. It is
also important to recognize that shared
leadership is not about delegation but about
putting in effort to coordinate and collaborate,
along with balancing individual and collective
goals. Recent reviews of the research on shared
leadership suggest that, overall, shared
leadership is effective at improving team
performance,
12
attitudes, and behaviors, especially when the
leadership is transformational or charismatic
and when the team tasks are complex. Questions
12-13. What kind of obstacles can you foresee in
taking a shared leadership approach? How might
they (or can they) be solved? 12-14. How would
you implement a shared leadership initiative in a
company where you were the CEO? What elements of
job design and redesign might you draw on to
increase the effectiveness of the shared
leadership initiative? 12-15. Can you think of
any instances in which nonshared, traditional
approaches to leadership would be preferable to a
shared leadership approach? What are they, and
how are they preferable? What sort of
situational or individual factors lead to the
traditional approach being more effective in
these instances? (Robbins, 20180110, p. 426)

CH. 15 Case Incident 2 Turbulence on United
Airlines The beginning of 2017 was not good for
United Airlines. Several incidents involving
United Airlines personnel enforcing a variety of
rules, regulations, and protocols in employees
interactions with customers caused international
outcry. The first incident involved two
teenagers who were wearing leggings for their
flight from Minneapolis to Denver. They were
stopped by the gate agent and not allowed to
board for violating the United Airlines travel
perk program. These travel perk passes hinge on
a requirement for users of the passes to dress
themselves so that the airline is presented in a
favorable light. United defended its decision
via Twitter Leggings are not inappropriate
attire except in the case of someone traveling
as a pass rider. Comedian Seth Rogan tweeted,
We here at _at_United are just trying to police the
attire of the daughters of our employees! Thats
all! Cool, right? A second, more severe
incident occurred when David Dao, a doctor who
needed to see his patients the following morning,
was aboard a Louisville-bound flight from
Chicago in April. Four United employees needed
to get to Louisville at the last minute, and it
was announced that four people needed to give up
their seats or else the flight would be
cancelled. Attendants called the police after no
one complied. The police approached Dao and
forcibly removed him from the plane. Dao suffered
a broken nose and concussion after his head
smashed into an armrest. United policy allowed
for the involuntary removal of passengers from
14
flights, although this time United was not as
defensive. Dao later filed a lawsuit against
United for its actions. A third incident, in
Houston, involved a soon-to-be-married couple,
Michael and Amber, headed to Costa Rica for their
wedding. When they entered the plane, they
noticed a man sleeping in the row where their
seats were assigned. Instead of disturbing him,
they found some seats three rows up and sat
there instead. They were soon asked by an
attendant to return to their seats and they
complied. A U.S. marshall approached them soon
after and ejected them from the plane. According
to United statements, the couple repeatedly
tried to sit in upgraded seats and would not
follow the instructions of the attendants and
crew members, and, as such, they were within
their power to eject the passengers. These
incidents suggest that, starting with the
structure as created by the CEO, United
employees do not have much latitude or
flexibility when dealing with day-to-day policy
breaches. Taking cost-minimization and
efficiency-boosting strategies to the extreme may
also have had an effect given that the focus
drifted from the customer and toward rule
following. Many attribute this inflexibility to
the strict, rule-following bureaucracy created
by United managers. In this bureaucracy, their
85,000 employees may be reluctant to deviate from
the rules intracompany historical precedent
suggests that many employees face termination if
they break the rules. Questions
15
15-13. How do you think United Airlines should
have handled the recent string of incidents? Do
you think that United Airlines was within its
power to have removed these people from the
flights? Why or why not? 15-14. What are the
pros and cons of having a bureaucratic
organizational structure for an airline? Do you
think the pros and cons are justified for United
Airlines and that they should keep the structure
they have? Why or why not? 15-15. What do you
think United Airlines should do in the future? Do
you have any suggestions for enhancements or
improvements to the United Airlines
organizational structure? Would you consider
restructuring? Why or why not? (Robbins,
20180110, pp. 536-537)
