Recall the organizational goals, sometimes referred to as corporate goals or business goals, that you’ve been associated with in your career or the corporate goals for the organization you’ve been researching (Cocacola). Consider how managers worked to achieve the goal.

Select 1 or 2 goals you recalled and answer the following questions:

How did the manager’s leadership style affect the way the workgroup worked toward these goals? Was the goal achieved? If so, how, and if not, what was the challenge?
