Having watched Inside Job (at least a few times now!)…This class has identified various management approaches and leadership styles. The one thing the film has brought into consideration is the power of money and its influence on management and leadership theory. Money is often used, in the form of bonuses to inspire creativity and business success. At the same time, the risk is those with a “blatant disregard for the impact their actions have on society” (2010, 47 minutes and 13 seconds). Complete the following:

• From your class studies (chats, textbook, MUSE) do you see any particular management/ leadership theory or approach that best negates the power of money/greed? Explain your response.
• As you have probably noted, there seem to be more negative than positive examples of leadership in this film. With that in mind, take one main negative leadership example from the film and determine what could have been done to make it a positive example? What could they have done differently? Why?
• What management and leadership styles and theories, observed in this film and discussed in class, do you consider most valuable to your desired management style? Which are most detrimental? Explain your answers.
• And the last

  Assignment Description

   

  Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday, and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.

  • Using the film, identify 1 or 2 situations/individuals (positive or negative) that demonstrated the four functions of management (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling).
  • What happened in the United States was not limited to the U.S. The finance industry is in fact a diverse industry, spanning global economies. Identify the diversity issues created, specifically as it relates to not understanding the global implications, based on Parts 3 and 4 of the film. 
  • Walk through the six decision-making steps to determine if you would have made the same decisions of Berneke and Milikin as discussed in Part 3: The Crisis (timestamp of 57 minutes and 10 seconds).
  • Consider the ‘greed’ focus of the film, for example Lehman Brothers congressional hearing (at around 42 minutes) and in Part 4 (at 1:17:35). Richard Fuld, was in a leadership role. Using your course materials, and outside research specific to Fuld, summarize your considerations as to the impact (risk/value/need) of leaders chosen for specific subject matter expertise/ intellectual knowledge rather than the ability to manage people and maintain an ethical expectation.
  • Many individuals/groups were highlighted as those who attempted to do the right thing. Give one example and discuss what did they do right? What could they have done better?

  For this assignment, your focus on discussing specific management and leadership theories is central to your success in this paper. As such, you will need to include research (with citations and references) to support and validate your work. Follow APA formatting for all citations and references used.
