Instruction
As part of your class preparation for this week, please read the Wolfgang Keller case (course reader). Please note that to answer the questions for this week, it will help to have watched the video lectures and read the Gabarro and Hill article (found in your course reader) first. This case response is application focused, so be sure to reference course concepts when prompted.
1.Drawing on our course concepts on personality and behavioral leadership, who is Keller and what is his personality and leadership style like? Likewise, who is Brodsky and what is his personality and leadership style like?
2.Based on information from the case, what are two or three skills and knowledge that Keller and Brodsky each need to have in order to be successful in their respective roles? Based on our lecture of bias in evaluating performance, where might there be issues of bias in evaluating Keller and Brodsky?
3.Keller is faced with three options at the end of the case; what do you think he should do and why?
