Module 7: Discussion Forum

     

While personality is the relatively permanent part of our behavior, values arise from our experiences and are rooted in our upbringing. Personality is a large component of effective leadership. 

1. Do experiences that are influenced by strong cultural values and a strong family system lead to much stronger strategic decision making? Do they lead to stronger leadership skills? Explain why or why not and back up your claims with research. 
2. Personal Application: Think about your own background? What significant experiences shaped your values? How do those values play out today in the workplace, and how do they determine the decisions you make each workday? How do they affect you in terms of your leadership approach and effectiveness? If you are not working, how might these experiences affect you as a future worker or leader? 
3. Global Application: Consider you are a leader and conduct business in a global community. You are responsible for all decision making in the organization. How would you ensure your decisions are considerate of the ethical and social cultures in which you conduct business? 

One of the most hotly debated subjects in labor relations today is that of ‘Right to Work’ laws. It’s time to do some deeper research and take a position on this controversial issue. In a narrative, do the following:

1. What is the history of ‘Right to Work’ laws? Where did they come from? Who proposed them and why? Has their purpose or effect changed since original inception?

2. Accurately summarize both sides of the ‘Right to Work’ debate. What exactly is each side arguing, and what are the defenses to the claims of their opponents?

3. Articulate your own opinion on this issue. Are ‘Right to Work’ laws ethically sound? Are they good for unions? Good for employers? Good for employees? If one or more of these stakeholders are disadvantaged, how? Do the benefits of these laws outweigh the costs? Why or why not?

4. What is your prediction for ‘Right to Work’ laws in America? Currently, the country is divided more or less 50:50 in terms of states with and without such laws. Will they become the new norm? Or will they regress and be repealed in the states that have enacted them? Defend your predictions with sound reasoning.

Understanding national culture is a critical piece to conducting business operations around the globe, and HR practitioners must be prepared to take their cultural intelligence and incorporate it into the best practices of managing all HR functions.

This assessment is based on the following scenario:

You and your human resources team work for a hi-tech gaming firm in Northern California called Fighting Games. Fighting Games has offices across Europe and the Pacific Rim and more than 1200 employees in more than 50 countries. Among the biggest challenges the members and leaders of each office face is scheduling meetings in asynchronous time frames. The New York team and the Shanghai team have been assigned to work on the same project. The New York team is leading the story line and the graphics. The Shanghai team is in charge of special effects and overall integration of the game. Meetings are scheduled twice a week. The teams have been meeting, but both teams have been complaining to the executive team. The New York team has been arriving late and running the meetings much longer than they were scheduled to last. This has happened over a dozen times. The relationship between the teams seems strained and not long ago something surprising happened: the Shanghai team canceled a meeting after the New York Team had arrived late to the last three.

Consider the following points as you prepare for your assessment:

• The New York and Shanghai teams are in different time zones, which makes coordinating meetings difficult.
• There are two national cultures involved. Although the American team is multicultural, they have all lived in the US most of their lives. The Chinese team is comprised of all Chinese employees. 

 

Write a 3–5 page paper, using correct APA style and format, on cross-cultural leadership and how this scenario’s situation might be resolved. Include the following:

• Explain why cultural intelligence is important for HR practitioners and other organizational managers.
• Articulate recommendations to develop cultural intelligence. Make three recommendations.
• Describe how to respond and overcome the issues present in this workplace scenario.
