Leading Business Organisations Assignment - RETSA CASE STUDY

This assessment is based on your response to the following tasks.

Tasks:

Using the information contained within the Case Study together with the concepts, models and theories contained within the LBO module critically discuss how RETSA's Chief Executive Officer (CEO leadership style and the organisational practices he has introduced) recognize the needs of the business and its workforce.

Identify the additional contributions that RETSA team leaders, staff and other stakeholders could make to increase the likelihood of a successful implementation of the new "low cost" internet channel. Specifically, propose fully justified actions as follows: one action that the CEO should take to increase the engagement of senior managers; one action that he should take to increase the engagement of junior staff and one action that he should take to maintain or improve the support of other stakeholders. All of your recommendations should be justified with reference to leadership concepts, models, theories and/or contemporary leadership practice.

Use motivational theory to critically evaluate the CEO's approach to motivating RETSA staff. What are the key factors that the CEO should consider during the implementation of the new "low cost internet channel"? Why are these key?

Select a specific change management methodology that is most likely to be effective for implementing the change associated with the new "low cost" internet channel. Explain the strengths and potential weaknesses of this methodology. Prepare three concise bullet points containing the arguments that you could use in a conversation with the CEO to convince him of the value of using this particular methodology. Each argument should be fully justified using relevant concepts, models and/or theory contained within the LBO module.

Reflect on your own Leadership Style utilising an appropriate diagnostic tool (such as that used in Topic 4) and explain why you would, or would not, consider accepting a role at RETSA. If you would accept a role explain with reference to 'cultural fit' and your preferred leadership style whether your preference would be to work in the traditional section of the business (covering Legal and Trade Union Sectors), the Accountancy Market Teams or the new "low cost" Internet Channel. If you would not want to accept a role, explain with reference to 'cultural fit' and your preferred leadership style, why this would not be an appropriate environment for you.
