This Week We Learned About Different Types Of Leadership Directives A This week, we learned about different types of leadership directives and leadership styles. As a reflection of these principles, visit the website of General Electric, a powerful multinational corporation (MNC) in energy and power systems, healthcare, finance, and appliances. Discover GE’s international operations, learn about its product lines, review its new and existing members on the board of directors, and review its latest annual report. Then answer these questions with a focus on GE’s leadership: On how many continents and in how many countries does GE do business? Does GE offer different product lines in different countries? If so, why, and if not, why not? Using the Managerial Grid (Fig.13-2), in which country or countries could GE apply each of the 5 management styles? Give examples of each of the 5 styles. Using the Managerial Grid (Fig. 13-2), which leadership style do you think the GE corporate CEO could implement on a global basis, and why? Reflect on this module and this course and explain whether the leadership style you chose in # 3 above matches your skills, abilities, and personality. Why or why not? Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with two scholarly peer-reviewed references supporting your answer. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
