1. Much of the effectiveness of the team leadership model depends on accurate diagnoses of
team problems. What skills does this require? What can a leader do to improve skill in this area?
correct answers Skills that leaders should have are effective problem solving. Skills. Leaders
need to monitor internal and external environments to gather information, offer structure, and
overcome problems. The leader must analyze, organize, and interpret information to make an
action plan and to intervene Leaders can improve these skills by coaching team members in
interpersonal skills, collaborating, managing conflict and power issues, building commitment,
satisfying individual member needs, modeling ethical behavior. Also, leaders can help their

assessments/surveys, and evaluating the team.

1. How does culture influence the leadership process? correct answers A leader must understand
how to deal with all different types of people and their culture. They need to expand their
ethnocentric tendencies. Instead of viewing leadership from our own perceptive, leaders should
try to become more diverse and view leadership how other people from different regions view it.
There needs to be define goals so followers understand, are committed, and be dedicated to
better future. In order for the leader to archive things the work culture must allow for these things
to happen. The culture must allow the leaders to influence the followers to work towards a
common goal within the organization. Effective and efficient leadership will not within the
wrong culture. In order for leadership to be effective, the culture within the organization must be
right
Which of the nine cultural dimensions identified by GLOBE researchers do you think most
contributes to cross-cultural miscommunication? Give examples to support your claim. HOW
DOES IT CAUSE MISSCOUMICATION correct answers I believe that Gender Egalitarianism
most contributes to cross-cultural miscommunications. Gender Egalitarianism is the extent to
which an organization or a society minimizes the gender roles and their differences. Gender
egalitarianism is concerned with how much societies de-emphasize member's biological sex in
determining the roles that members play in their homes, organizations, and communities. In the
countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Women are still forbidden to drive, get jobs, dress how they
want, and are forbidden from watching men's sports in stadiums. Even in the United states,
women are at a disadvantage when it comes to salary. They are often held to a double standard,
face sexism, and get paid less than men. It is harder to communicate with cultures when they
have different degrees of gender egalitarianism. Cultures view gender roles differently in the
home, organizations, and communicates and that can lead to miscommunication between cultures
and become difficult to resolve.
1. What is implicit leadership theory and how did it contribute to the concept of global leadership
behaviors? What are the limitations of this approach? correct answers According to the Implicit
leadership theory individuals have implicit beliefs and convictions about the attributes and
beliefs that distinguish leaders from non-leaders and effective leaders from ineffective leaders.
Leadership refers to what people see in others when they are exhibiting leadership behaviors.
The theory informed GLOBE researchers, they were observing leaders in different cultures.
