QUESTION:

Describe the situation or case study you selected. If it is one from your professional practice (rather than the case studies from the course text), be sure to provide relevant details about the setting, situation, and challenge you faced.

Then, explain what you might have done differently in the management of the situation. Be sure to justify your position using the Resources and evidence-based practices from the literature, particularly as these relate to situational leadership and (as applicable) a multigeneration workforce.

· Review the Resources, focusing in particular on those related to situational leadership.

· Search a reputable academic/professional resources on the Internet to locate and analyze a peer-reviewed article related to situational leadership.

· Critically examine a leadership situation in your professional practice. As an alternative, you may select one of the case studies included in the Roussel, Thomas and Harris text:

· Case Study 2-1: Is a Leader a Leader Only When Paid? (p. 39)

· Case Study 2-2: Managing Conflict (p. 40–41)

· Case Study 9-1: Healthy Work Environments (p. 223)
