Section 1
Authority, Leadership & Power
McRae and Short (2010) discussed authority, leadership and power in Ch. 7. If you were the CEO of an organization, what training would you develop for teaching new leaders and team members these three concepts? Explain why you selected these training concepts.
Section 2
The focus of chapter 8 is on "Strategies for Leadership in Multicultural Group." McRae and Short (2010) explained when there is an exploration and an understanding of feelings and thoughts, behavioral changes can occur between people, groups, and organizations. Working with groups from different racial and cultural backgrounds, attending to the differences, inquiring about their meaning, and openly discussing power differentials are strategies that allow members the opportunity to see they are not alone (page 129). Share an example of a group in which you have been a member or leader where these or similar strategies have been utilized. How did it impact the overall effectiveness of achieving group goals?
