Leaders don’t always know about, understand, or recognize the many leadership theories that are in operation each day within organizations. Leadership theories provide the foundation for motivation and leadership, helping us to form ideas and setting the stage for strategies and goals. 

1. Name one leadership theory that realistically could be in place and exhibited by supervisors/employees without their even knowing it. Explain your answer and back it up with research. 
2. Discuss how the leadership theory is put in place to motivate, nurture, and increase performance of employees or followers. 
3. Practical Application: Describe a situation where you or another colleague had to make a tough decision at work. What leadership or decision-making theory was at play? Did you recognize this at the time? If not, might you have used more intricate pieces of the theory to make the situation go smoothly? 

Note: If you do not have a work experience upon which to base this answer, you may research an organization or leader, but name the organization and provide evidence of your research (e.g., a newspaper article, for example, that describes the scenario).

Power point

The profession of optimizing organizational performance is quite broad, and it encompasses several fields, practice areas, and specialties. These include industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology, organizational development, organizational psychology, organizational psychology and development (OPD), consulting psychology, change management, organizational consulting, organizational design, and management consulting. When working with clients, it’s important to distinguish yourself as an OD practitioner and to fully understand your role so that you can explain the strengths, benefits, and nuances of OD practice as opposed to similar disciplines.

In this Discussion, you identify the elements that differentiate OD from other fields.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider what differentiates OD from other fields that work to optimize organizational performance.
• Research the various fields and disciplines associated with organizational development, improvement, and change. Think about what OD is and what it is not.
