Discussion: Diverse Leadership Styles and Skills

In the Week 8 Discussion, you discussed the
implementation of a new product or service, aligned with organizational
goals and professional standards, and described the management and
leadership competencies that would facilitate successful implementation
of this project.

For this Discussion, think again about the new product
or service discussed in week 8, now consider a new product or service
that you would initiate adoption. Consider the importance of building a
team of leaders from across the organization to implement the new
product or service you are recommending.

To Prepare

• Think of a new product or service such as the one in the Week 8 Discussion.
• Consider the leaders across the organization you
  would work with to roll out the product or service. Which leadership
  styles and skills might you encounter as you work with various
  individuals?
• What opportunities and challenges may arise as a
  result of individuals with differing leadership styles and skills
  working together? How would you work on a team or in a group with those
  whose style differs from your own?

By Day 3

Post a description of how the
leadership styles and skills of others you would work with to roll out
the product or service would support, complement, or contrast your own.
Describe challenges and opportunities that may arise as a result of
working with individuals with differing leadership styles and skills in a
team or group setting.
