Week 4 Discussion
DQ1 Discovering Task and Relational Behaviors [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLO: 3]
Effective leaders have to be good at attending to tasks and with building relationships. To understand more about task and relationship behaviors, you will complete the Task and Relationship Questionnaire interactive. The purpose of this interactive and this discussion is to help you build awareness of your task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership behaviors. Once you complete the interactive, compare your scores, and you will begin to see if you are more task focused or more people focused.

Read the Week 4 Lecture.
Read Chapter 4: Attending to Tasks and Relationships in the textbook.
Consider reviewing Chapter 1 in the textbook.
Complete the Task and Relationship Questionaire interactive:

Reflect:
Reflect on what you learned about your own leadership style. Do you consider yourself to be a task-oriented leader, or a relational-oriented leader? Do you do both well? What are the benefits of each style? One of the challenges leaders face when leading is knowing when to integrate in their task and relationship behaviors. Do you consider this a challenge for you in your leadership style?
Write:
In your initial discussion forum post,
Share your task and relationship scores from the interactive.
Identify which leadership style is more dominant for you: task or relationship.
Discuss what you learned about your own leadership style. In doing so, consider these questions:

DQ2 Leader Behaviors for Success [WLOs: 2] [CLOs: 3]
In the first discussion forum this week you examined your personal style regarding task-oriented and relationship-oriented behaviors. Now you will focus on the similarities and differences between a leader and a manager.
Prepare:
Before attempting this discussion,
Read Chapter 4 in the textbook.
Review the “Leadership vs. Management” section of Chapter 1 in the textbook.
Watch The Perils of Confusing Management and Leadership video:

Reflect:
Reflect on the sections, “Task Leadership,” and “Relationship Leadership” in Chapter 4 of the textbook. Simply put, leaders with a task style focus on goal accomplishment in their group, and leaders with a relationship style help followers feel comfortable in the group and in situations. Good leaders should be both task-focused and relationship-focused. With that in mind, think about leader who has influenced, improved, and inspired you positively (in any organization in society) and who has impacted positive outcomes and results. How did that leader balance achieving objectives with building relationships? Was that leader more task-oriented or relationship-oriented, or were they good in both areas?
Also, reflect on The Perils of Confusing Management and Leadership (Links to an external site.)video and what you have learned. Are leadership and management the same? Why or why not? What is the difference between being a leader or a manager?
Write:
In your initial discussion forum post,

Are they the same? Why or why not? Explain.

What did the leader accomplish that impressed or inspired you?
Is the leader more task-oriented or relationship-oriented, or both?
How did the leader use their task and relational behaviors to achieve results and positive outcomes?
Were they more of a manager or a leader, or both?
Your initial post should be a minimum of 200 words and is due on Day 3 (Thursday).

Week 2 Assignment
Leadership Traits
Who is a leader? A leader could be a manager, parent, supervisor, chairperson, teacher, politician, nurse, public administrator, volunteer, coach, and so forth. Leaders innovate, improve, and positively influence others, and they have integrity. Everyone at some time in life is leading and influencing in some way. And, as you know, many situations will occur that require leadership. However, when we talk about leadership, the focus is often on others—how others serve you, empower you, and motivate you. Although external leaders and role models are important, it is also important to think about the leadership role you can play within your own life. How you lead yourself (i.e., self-management) can drastically affect your ability to reach your goals.
So, for this assignment, you will discuss how leadership traits can help you reach your academic and professional goals and discuss an exceptional leader in your life who has inspired you.
