Write a paper discussing the definition and meaning of leadership and how leadership is exercised in your organization (a Commercial Bank), the following quote emerges from Northouse (2013): “There are many ways to finish the sentence, “Leadership is………..” Complete the sentence in your own words and explain your reasoning. Next, consider the leadership behaviours or styles which are evident in your own organisation (a Commercial Bank). Explain the extent to which these behaviours or styles conform to your definition of leadership”. Guides: 1. This request requires a first-rate analysis 2. The quote in reference is drawn from Northouse, P.G. (2013) Leadership Theory and Practice, Eight Edition, Sage The organisation in reference is a commercial bank, headquartered in the biggest country in Africa, with presence in six other African Countries, Europe and Asia. The leadership structure of the bank is a division by function, with each function having an executive in charge (i.e Corporate Banking Executive, Commercial Banking Executive, Retail Banking Executive, Technology & Services Executive, Finance, Risk Executive and Audit & Compliance Executive). The leadership style practised in the organization appears to be a combination of “Authoritative Style” and “Democratic Style”. 4. Critically analyse how the leadership styles conform to the definition proposed. 5. Use, at least, 6 references from relevant textbooks, journals and online materials to enrich the discussion (where possible, include in the reference Barling, J. (2014) The Science of Leadership: Lessons from Research for Organizational Leaders, Oxford University Press, New York) 6. Use, at least, one (1) practical example to buttress your points. While giving an example, briefly, compare and contrast the leadership styles of the organisation described with the most appropriate leadership style in a financial institution setting. 7. Introduction should not be more than 25 words. 8. Conclusion is not required if you are limited by word count 9. Emphasis should be on critical analysis to energize the discussion 10.
