...Implementing a Leadership Change LDR/531 January 31, 2011 Options for Implementing Change In 1996, Gene One entered the biotech industry with groundbreaking gene technology that eliminated disease in tomatoes and potatoes. As a result, farmers no longer needed to use pesticides when growing these plants and consumers were pleased to buy homegrown products untainted by chemicals. Gene One grew from $2 million to a $400 million company in eight years (University of Phoenix, 2011). Gene One’s success also brought with it an increase of stock indices on Wall Street indicative of an augmented interest in the biotechnology field. Leadership changes at the Food and Drug administration increased confidence in investors in the biotechnology field. Don Ruiz and board members believed a 40 percent annual growth target would keep them competitive. Don Ruiz believed the way to acquire additional funding to maximize growth and remain successful would be an initial public offering (IPO) within three years.

...Running head: IMPLEMENTING A LEADERSHIP CHANGE Assignment: Options for Implementing a Leadership Change YOUR NAME LDR/531 DATE NAME OF PROFESSOR Options for Implementing a Leadership Change Gene One is moving into the future by transitioning from a private company into an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Becoming an IPO means the executives who have investments in Gene One will give up their limited ownership and make the investments and ownership available to the public. (The IPO Process, 2009). Such a transition is bound to create conflict and disharmony, and executives at Gene One have mixed feelings about the change. (University of Phoenix (UOP), 2004). Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Don Ruiz, is initiating the change and is excited about the company being able to serve the public. Michelle Houghton, Gene One’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), feels very emotionally protective of her ownership in the company because she invested everything she had into Gene One. Marketing officer Charles Jones has no personal investment in Gene One and believes in innovation and moving towards the future and is emotionally detached. Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Teri Roberson is emotionally attached to Gene One because she was part of the original start up group, but is passionate about her work. The opportunity to expand into breakthrough discoveries by becoming an IPO may allow her to overcome her fear of change. Greg Thoman, Chief Human Resources (HR) Officer...

...Leadership Approach Paper Cathy M. Espy-Cook LDR/531 Organizational Leadership December 6, 2011 Bobby Bates Leadership Approach Paper Leadership is a subject that has long excited interest among people. The term connotes images of powerful, dynamic individuals who command victorious armies, direct corporate empires from atop gleaming skyscrapers, or shape the course of nations (Yukl, p. 1, 2010). Behaviors are an important approach in leadership. Working as a manager in an organization leaves much opportunity to view outstanding leadership behaviors as well as bad leadership behaviors. In observations poor leadership took a reactive approach in areas of multi-tasking the managers often pushing their work off on other supervisors he or she managed or employees that he or she knew would get the job done with no questions ask. Poor leaders need to begin with the basics in knowing what defines leadership. One common indicator of leader effectiveness is the extent to which the performance of the team or organizational unit is enhanced and the attainment of goals is facilitated. (Yukl, p. 10. 2010). Strength of the behavior approach to leadership is a wide scope of what a leader does in certain situations. There are a variety of studies with creditable research that agree with the behavior approach to leadership. The behavior approach to leadership can be divided into two categories task and relationship. Engaging in a proactive approach should be strength within...
