ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS 1. How do charismatic and transformational leadership compare and contrast? Are they valid? 2. CASE: The Place Makes the People; Gerson Lehrman Group is invested in "activity-based working." In this system, employees have access to cubicle spaces for privacy, conference rooms for group meetings, caf seating for working with a laptop, and full open-office environments. Where you work on a particular day is entirely up to you. The goal is to encourage free-flowing conversation and discussion, enhance creativity, and minimize hierarchy-in other words, to foster a creative and collaborative culture and remove office space trom its status position. Research on open offices, however, shows there is a downside. Open offices decrease the sense of privacy, reduce the feeling of owning your own space, and create a distracting level of background stimulation. Whether a traditional, open, or activity-based design is best overall is obviously hard to say. Perhaps the better question is, which type will be appropriate for each organization? Questions: a. How might different types of office design influence employee social interaction, collaboration, and creativity? Should these be encouraged even in organizations without an innovative culture? b. Can the effects of a new office design be assessed objectively? How could you go about measuring whether new office designs are improving the organizational culture? c. What types of jobs do you think might benefit most from the various forms of office design described above? 3. Please submit your assignment to this assignment submission folder. 4.
