Ass# 1: Teams/Groups Considerations

Continuing on the journey of individual differences, leaders and managers face an increasingly diverse workforce. Not only are diverse individuals working side-by-side in organizations, many people are working virtually with teams from all around the world. Teams are not just groups of people sitting in a conference room but individuals who come together via technology; each individual attending a team meeting can join in from an office or cubicle potentially located anywhere in the world. In such a virtual environment, there is always the possibility of conflict due to the diverse nature of the meeting participants.

Consider the aforementioned aspects, and using the module readings and the University online library resources, research the challenges, benefits, and impacts related to teams or groups. Then, respond to the following:

  • Discuss the varied challenges faced by leaders or managers concerning teams made of a diverse workforce. Include considerations such as how some team members might be from different countries or how the teams might meet virtually.
  • Explain how factors related to internal and external teams (participants both from within the same room and those attending virtually) may affect organizational behavior.
  • How can these internal and external factors be constructively managed to enhance not only team performance but also organizational performance?

Ass# 2: Ethical Implications of Cultural Abuse

After addressing the challenges leaders and managers face regarding diversity in M6: Assignment 1, let us focus on how leaders and managers might abuse power in dealing with a diverse workforce. Consider the role cultural stigmas play regarding how leaders and managers communicate with and react to a diverse workforce. Consider the importance of diversity training for leaders, managers, and employees. Further, consider how sociocultural factors related to leaders, managers, and employees help or hinder functionally effective communications. Finally, there is the ethical consideration of determining whether a leader or manager’s use of power to gain compliance is acceptable.

Using the module readings and the University online library resources, research the ethical implication of cultural abuse. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Explain the ethical implications of cultural abuse of leader/manager power. Your response should not simply state whether cultural abuse of power is ethical or unethical but also include the underlying theoretical premise that justifies your position as well as personal experiential examples.
  • Briefly discuss how diversity might influence (hinder or aid) such abuse.
  • Research your textbook as well as appropriate trade journals and academic peer-reviewed journals to support your arguments.

Write a 4-pages paper in Word format. Note: The title page, references, and appendices are not included in the page count.

 

Apply APA standards to citation of sources.Write your responses in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation per APA (6th edition) standards.
