scenarios to demonstrate your understanding of leadership in organizational behavior. These
assignments are designed to develop your skills in analyzing various organizational leadership situations
dealing with skills assessment, team-building, vision and culture, problem-solving, and conflict
management.

results and compare these results with the cognitive factors associated with leadership effectiveness.
Using at least two examples, explain how your leadership strengths and traits contribute to the
effectiveness of an organization that you are part of currently or were previously associated with. You
will be evaluated on summary of results, analysis of cognitive factors and leadership, application of
examples, critical thinking, and articulation of response.

page, an introduction, subheadings, and a conclusion. The requirements for this assignment are 2 to 4
