As you consider this scenario, you may want to reflect on the following challenge for a transformational leader.
As a manager-leader, the task often is this: How can I create an environment for which employees will wake up for their day and be excited to come to work, and not wake up and dread having to come to work.
Often the insight for this issue is discovered in the question, “What makes me want to go to work?”
Or said another way: How would you integrate a leadership theory into an organizational theory to make me want to come to work?
In our academic discussions, we often confuse the organizational focus and the leadership focus, which are both critical core concepts for success in any organization. How would you explain the difference between an organizational behavior theory and a leadership theory? How are they related and how do they differ?
In your experience or scholarly exploration, how might leading in a unionized organization present challenges not normally encountered?
