SEU Team Leadership Case Study & Managing Performance Discussion

Request: This work consists of two parts as listed below.

Part 1: Leadership Management – Critical thinking

As we learned throughout this week, team leadership involves monitoring a team to help individuals achieve goals and to enhance performance. Please refer to the image below from Northouse (2022, pp. 464).

Jamal works for a technology firm in the KSA. He has been assigned as the team leader of a group of five engineers, from different countries, responsible for creating new phone technology. This organization favors the team leadership approach and has given Jamal the responsibility to monitor and act as needed, to ensure the team is effectively performing.

During the first week of work, Jamal evaluates the overall situation in relation to the team’s needs and he discovers that the team is not focusing on the goals, there is conflict between three of the engineers due to communication issues, and there is not enough sharing of information among several of the engineers due to professional competition and a fear of being left behind.

Thinking about the above situation, please answer the following:

Explain what the team      leadership approach is and how it impacts the decision-making process.

Identify the current issues      Jamal is encountering. Explain the best way to address these issues based      on the team leadership approach.

Determine how a country’s      culture and the culture of each team member impacts the team leadership      approach.

If you were Jamal, what team      model would you use to make the team more successful? Explain why you      selected this team model.

1. Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

Be 4-5 pages in length      (double-spaced), which does not include the title and reference pages,      which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.

1. Part 2: Managing Performance – Discussion

It is essential that performance initiatives are measured in order to determine their success or failure. Outline two performance metrics that an HR manager might use to measure or monitor a performance management initiative.

1. Managers must carefully balance how to (1) correct negative performance behaviors and (2) reinforce positive performance behaviors. In your experience, what are the most effective approaches and how important is the situation/context? Consider, also, how a leader might provide positive reinforcement to a staff member who received a critically low-performance measurement score.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

1. Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion
