Chapter 2 the market system and the circular flow

As CEO of the company, your first order of business is outlining a strategic plan for the next 5-years. The approach that you need to take, to keep shareholders happy, is one that maximizes profitability. However, you firmly believe that your company should be environmentally friendly as well and promote a positive social impact. This other approach will create additional costs that put at risk the profitability required by the shareholders. How would you/could you proactively manage this dilemma?

In 2-3 pages describe your process for creating the 5-year strategic plan, articulate the priorities of the plan and discuss how you would convince the shareholders that this is the best option. Be sure to identify the key performance goals that you would target.

As we have discussed in previous units, cultural intelligence contains four specific features: metacognitive and cognitive CQ (cognition), motivational CQ (motivation), and behavioral CQ (action).

· Discuss how these how features work together in conjunction with Authentic Leadership. From the perspective of a leader within your organization, focus on how each feature specifically interacts with cultural intelligence and authentic leadership.

· Global leaders need to be able to nimbly adapt to different situations, adjusting quickly. How does having high cultural intelligence allow a leader to adapt to novel situations?

9. Managing the global economy Unit 7. Portfolio.

For this assignment, be sure that you have read this unit’s reading:

Vogelgesang, G., Clapp-Smith, R. Palmer, N. (2009). The Role of Authentic Leadership and Cultural Intelligence in Cross-Cultural Contexts: An Objectivist Perspective. International Journal of Leadership Studies, 5(2), 102-117. Retrieved from: http://www.regent.edu/acad/global/publications/ijls/new/vol5iss2/IJLS_vol5_iss2_vogelgesang_authentic_leadership.pdf

Choose a highly visible leader, someone you admire and would like to emulate. You will be looking to examine a situation when a leader’s cultural adaptation, cultural intelligence, ethics, and perhaps even moral and values have been tested and applying his/her actions to your own, perhaps developing, leadership style.

Consider the four factors of Authentic Leadership; discuss how the leader rates in each of these areas. Also consider the issues brought up in the reading for this unit, particularly ethics and personal values. View the actions of the leader through multiple lenses. Based on the cultural situation that was discussed above, describe how the leader’s rating was impacted by the way the situation was handled. Include whether their behavior was favorable or not.

Why is this leader someone you admire? As you examined this leader against the four factors of Authentic Leadership, did he or she rate as highly as you thought? Look at this exercise and who you want to be as a leader -- where do these things converge?

Submit a 2-paper that both demonstrates that you understand adaptive leadership and is also reflective in nature. If you use any sources, be sure to cite them using APA format.
