As you will know from the lectures and the readings, there are two polar types of leadership: Model I and Model II (also known as “Theory X” and “Theory Y”). In the 1960s, social scientists came to believe that different types of situation required different styles of leadership. Of these, Fiedler’s Contingency Model, which is now half a century old, still has enough credibility to appear in contemporary textbooks on leadership, such as the one we are using, which was published in 2015. Your assignment is as follows:

Carefully study pages 67-73 of the text, in which Fiedler’s theory is presented. On page 71 is a diagram (Figure 3-1, Fiedler’s Contingency Model). It is reproduced below for your convenient reference. Write a paper of 3-5 pages (not including your cover page and reference page) in length in which you explain that diagram. Do you agree or disagree with Fiedler? Justify your position.

Chapter 7: The business case for information governance (IG) programs has historically been difficult to justify. It is hard to apply a strict, short-term return on investment (ROI) calculation. A lot of time, effort, and expense is involved before true economic benefits can be realized.IT governance seeks to align business objectives with IT strategy to deliver business value.

Q: Please provide 2-3 page APA standard paper or why the business needs to drive the IG strategy and why there must constantly be an alignment. How would you approach implementing an IG strategy within an organization?

Chapter 13 of your text notes two significant pitfalls that can occur during the communication process: filtering and perception. Thinking back on your own personal experience, you have likely experienced the impact of one or both of these blockades to perfect understanding. In this discussion, you will share an example and address how the communication experience might have been better handled.

Using your own experience as well as the material from Chapter 13 of the text, address the following in your response:

• Define ‘perception’ and ‘filtering’ in your own words.
• Describe the communication encounter you experienced that was influenced by either perception and/or filtering.
• How did the effect of a communication pitfall impact both the sender and receiver during the communication process? Give at least one specific example for each party.
• With your newfound knowledge of communication pitfalls, what could you have done differently in the situation to avoid any negative impact of perception and/or filtering?
