Oriented leadership | Applied Sciences homework help

In this assignment, your critical-thinking skills will be assessed. The critical-thinking rubric will be useful for this purpose. In this course, MGT401, critical-thinking skills will be assessed at the “introduced” level. In MGT420, they are assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in MGT422 your critical thinking skills will be assessed at the “emphasized” level. The grading rubric for critical-thinking skills at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT401 SLP 3 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective assignments.

Before starting this assignment, be sure that you are familiar with what is meant by “critical thinking.”

Critical thinking is one of the five key rubric criteria by which your assignments are graded. Therefore, you are expected to demonstrate evidence of critical thinking in all assignments. The following might help you to learn the concept of critical thinking.

For the Module 3 SLP assignment, you will apply the concepts from the background materials to your own personal experiences. You can write about the same supervisor you wrote about in Modules 1 and 2, or choose a different supervisor that you worked with and got to know well.

Carefully review the concepts and definitions of charismatic, transformational, and transactional leadership. Then write a 
2- to 3-page paper (which means at least 2 full pages) and include at least two scholarly peer-reviewed sources from the Trident Online Library or the assignment background materials addressing the following issues using specific examples from your personal experiences:

1. Describe a situation you experienced or witnessed in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a 
transformational approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective? What about the supervisor’s behaviors marked them as a transformational leader?

2. Describe a situation you experienced or witnessed in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a charismatic approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective? What about the supervisor’s behaviors marked them as a charismatic leader?

3. Describe a situation you experienced or witnessed in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a 
transactional approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective? What about the supervisor’s behaviors marked them as a transactional leader?

4. Based on what you’ve read for this class so far as well as from your own experience working with different supervisors, which approach, transformational, charismatic, or transactional leadership is more effective as a leadership style in your organization?

To support your answers, use both of the following: your personal experiences and at least 2 scholarly sources from the required or optional readings list. 

1. Your SLP should be 2 – 3 pages in length (not including title and reference pages). This means the submission must be at least 2 full pages. It must include an introduction below the paper’s title prior to the answer to the first assignment question and a Conclusion on the last page before the References list page. There should be nothing in the top left corner of the paper and only a page number in the top right corner of all pages.

2. Be sure to cite and reference (using APA Style) a minimum of 2 scholarly sources listed in the Course Materials and Bibliography (Module 3 Required and Optional Reading List), in the Module 3 Background Page: Required and Optional Readings, or in the Trident Online Library (peer-reviewed journal articles)..

3. Upload your paper to the SLP 3 Dropbox before the assignment due date.

4. Include both a reference page and in-text citations. Citation and reference style instructions are available at Trident University’s
