Assignment: Selling the Vision
Leadership is not magnetic personalitythat can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing peoplethat is flattery. Leadership is lifting a persons vision to higher sights, the raising of a persons performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.

Peter F. Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices

Kotter (2001) identified creating a vision as one of the defining characteristics of leadership. Academics and business leaders alike seem to echo the sentiment; however, each offers his or her own guidelines and advice on how this critical task of setting a vision can be accomplished. As a scholar-practitioner in the field of business, you must draw on the work of others and add your voice to those developing a strategy for accomplishing this crucial leadership responsibility. More than that, you must develop a concrete mechanism for verifying the successful a

Discussion: Appropriate Use of Transparency in Organizations
Consider the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1
Employees work in an atmosphere of distrust and fear. Leaders make decisions behind closed doors. Changes to processes and staffing often occur unexpectedly without warning or explanation. A few select people are given information and guard it jealously. Most employees do not get an opportunity to give input or feedback.

Scenario 2

Employees work in a small company where everyone knows everything about everyone and the rumor mill runs rampant. Leadership gives both praise and reprimands in public. They frequently discuss employees personal affairs.

These scenarios illustrate two extremes of transparency in business. Maintaining the right degree of transparency is a challenge for many organizations. Some leaders operate their organizations with an open-book management style. Others believe in carefully maintaining the security of information. Le

Module 4 - SLP
ISAAC ASIMOV AND RAY BRADBURY
In this assignment, we'll read two SF stories in which technology plays a critical role; Asimov's "The Final Question," and Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder." (Click on the URLs, Background Info page.) Again, the stories are very different. Both are fun to read, but we'll be reading them with a purpose other than entertainment; which is, to compare and contrast the role of technology in each.

SLP Assignment Expectations
Write a 3- to 5-page essay containing the following elements.

A very short (one-paragraph) prcis of each story. As in the Case Assignment, this should not be a recap, but rather a summary of the story's main points.
To what extent does technology motivate each story? Without the SF mainstay of futuristic machines and gadgets, would the stories work at all? Why or why not?
In which story is the technical element more believable; or, to put it another way, less unbelievable?
Technology can be fasci

Module 4 - Case
ISAAC ASIMOV AND RAY BRADBURY
Case Assignment
In this case, we will analyze two very different "end-of-the-world" stories: Asimov's "Nightfall," and Bradbury's "August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains." (Click on the URLs, Background Info page.) Both stories are worth reading just for the fun of it, but as we read, we'll be thinking of them in terms of a particular analytic framework.

Assignment Expectations
Write a 3- to 5-page essay containing the following elements.

A very short (one-paragraph) summary of each story. This is not a recap, but rather an aid to remembering the story's main points.
In what sense are they both "end-of-the-world" stories?
What makes them SF stories, as opposed to conventional short fiction?
On the Home Page, we listed some features of a good story. Choose the feature on which you think the two stories are most dissimilar. For example, you may think one of the stories has a particularly strong opening, whi
