PROJECT MODULE 8 REVIEW :Option #1: Analyzing Leadership Decisions

For this option, your final Portfolio Project is a thoughtful analysis of an ineffective or poor leadership decision. You may use a well-known leadership decision, such as the 2011 decision to split Netflix, which resulted in serious financial losses for the organization. Your project must include the following:

• Research a leadership decision that was ineffective or did not have the desired results.


• Describe the problem that may have precipitated the decision, as well as the apparent processes used by the leaders involved in the decision-making effort. Use terms from this course.


• Critique the processes they implemented, applying what you learned from this course.


• Recommend a different approach that could have been taken, using theories and methodologies from this course.


• Present a strong case for how your recommendations could have altered the decision made, leading to more effective results for the organization.


• Use theory from this course to support your evaluation, critique, and recommendations.
