Question 1: Find a case study about the leadership style that your group is learning about Find other names for that leadership style (note the use of English terms) Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of that leadership style

The case study that the group chose is: "The leadership style of Satya Nadella,

who is currently the CEO of Microsoft Corporation" - coaching leadership style

In February 2014, Satya Nadella was officially appointed CEO of Microsoft, replacing Steve Ballmer At the time Nadella took over the company, amid risk aversion and internal political turmoil between old and new teams, combined with the company's stock price stagnating ($36.35/share) ), as well as technology changes

so quickly that even managers cannot keep up Faced with these difficulties, managers continue to pass on old knowledge, because that is what they have known and done for a long time

Nadella quickly realized that Microsoft needed to transform its culture If you want colleagues to respond to the Coaching style, you first need to show them through your behavior To regain motivation and assert its position in the market in the new context, Nadella has gradually eliminated the entrenched management style, gradually replacing it with a growth mindset, encouraging people not to Stop learning and absorbing new things Nadella has turned the company's leaders into "students"

- the first step in the coaching leadership method - Coaching Leadership

What is the coaching leadership style?

Coaching Leadership Style is a management style aimed at cooperation, support between departments, and guidance from leaders Leaders with this style focus on promoting the team's mastery capacity, instead of making decisions on everything themselves They spend most of their time and resources investing in developing team members – thereby contributing to improving individual performance

In general, this style has the following characteristics:

- Towards professional development

- Goal-oriented

- Looking towards the future

- Suggestions

- Promote the spirit of ownership

The coaching leadership style is also known by the following names:

- Managerial Coaching

- Executive Coaching

- The Coach as Management

Advantages and disadvantages of coaching leadership style:

Advantage:

1 Encourage two-way communication and collaboration

2 Build relationships and trust between individual leaders and teams

3 Exchange constructive feedback

4 Facilitate personal and professional development

5 Focus on being supportive, not judgmental

6 Create opportunities to develop and nurture creative thinking

7 Promote long-term development

8 Build a collaborative, cohesive, and supportive working environment

Weakness:

1 Takes a lot of time and resources

2 Does not always lead to the fastest and most effective results (in other words, this style focuses on long-term results over the short-term)

3 Difficulty in applying to high-pressure environments

Question 2: Is the leadership style you are learning about feasible when applied

to the business environment in Vietnam and why?

Vietnam's economy is increasingly developing The need for a workforce with expertise in economic sectors is increasing Therefore, coaching leadership is a suitable method for our country's economy

In Vietnam, businesses are still small and medium enterprises, and there is a shortage of human resources and good labor resources According to Coach Quach Huong, in the last two years, there has been a clear and strong shift Vietnamese companies and corporations want a program to raise their leadership level The group

of Gen Y leaders - mainly leaders of startups - proactively sought coaches They are

people with a very open mind, and a desire to develop themselves, and what they need is to be both coached and mentored One of the reasons they use leadership coaching programs is to upgrade the leadership team to adapt In addition, especially during the COVID period, Vietnamese corporations tend to want to build a leadership culture within the organization Leaders are very good at their expertise, but lack the skills to work with people and now is the time they begin to realize that leaders need

to be people who inspire and lead people

Reason:

In today's rapidly changing world, more and more organizations are realizing that traditional command and control leadership is no longer viable for today's young workforce They want to have more cooperation and friendliness with the "Leaders",

a cooperative relationship of mutual development, not rigid imposition or control This approach will bring positive effects on self-esteem, confidence, and motivation

at work

Leadership issues such as "command and control" are no longer supported in the current Vietnamese economy And leaders who become "coaches" will gain more support and devotion from members

Leaders see that coaching will help members have close relationships, easily exchange work, and increase productivity

In this style, the leader focuses on identifying and nurturing the strengths of each team member Coaching leadership helps employees develop and improve their skills continuously This contributes to increasing employee productivity and problem-solving ability

Create a positive working environment, encouraging interaction and cooperation among members of the organization This creates increased motivation and commitment at work

Build loyalty: Using the coaching leadership method helps enhance interaction

between leaders and employees From there, employees feel valued and accompany leaders, creating loyalty and consensus with the common goals of the organization

Promote creativity and innovation: The coaching leadership association

encourages employees to contribute ideas, opinions, and creative suggestions

Promoting creativity and innovation is a great advantage for the Vietnamese economy

in a period of development and competition

Increase labor productivity: Thanks to coaching and support from leadership,

employees develop the ability to work more effectively, and productivity increases This can contribute to the sustainable development of Vietnam's economy

Question 3: “It's all about pairing leadership styles with the right organizational fit, market, timing, and needs in a way that drives successful outcomes,” Christie Lindor said (Skye, 2023) What do you think is the meaning of this statement? There are 9 common leadership styles most commonly found in organizations:

1 Autocratic leadership: This can be considered the strictest type of

leadership, the team leader will completely make decisions on all issues in the organization

Advantages: This leadership style is most effective when deciding on an emergency

Limitations: This leadership style makes members feel lost and disrespected, leading to members losing motivation to make special commitments in the long run

2 Democratic leadership: This leadership style is opposite to the authoritarian

leadership style The leader will provide necessary information to members and encourage everyone to voice their opinions and ideas Finally, the leader will take the time to consider other members' perspectives and make his or her own decisions Advantages: Members have a lot of motivation thanks to having their opinions and views respected, thereby increasing work motivation, work efficiency, and cohesion among members

Limitations: Making a final decision often takes a lot of time Not flexible when having to make quick decisions

3 Laissez-faire leadership: This leadership style is shown in that the leader

will delegate authority and responsibility to employees or members to complete the tasks and goals set by the leader, employees must be independent make decisions to solve problems and besides that, they will be taken over and responsible for completing as requested by the leader

Advantages: The style is most suitable when the team of members or experienced employees helps them develop professional skills and practice their knowledge in more practical activities Bring more motivation and responsibility to employees so they work more effectively

Limitations: Lack of supervision from leadership can cause employees, especially new employees, to not receive timely support, leading to many uncontrollable problems and will lead to serious losses for the organization position

4 Coach leadership: Leaders with this style often have very good

communication skills, always support and help in developing strengths, perfecting skills, and increasing confidence and motivation for employees

Advantages: Helps members get help and develop both soft and hard skills, thereby building an environment where leaders and members are closely related to each other

Limitations: Requires investment in each member, leading to a lot of time wasted Not suitable for a work environment where people focus on optimizing goals towards job completion

5 Transformational leadership: This leadership style will aim to encourage,

support, and help members go beyond their comfort zone, followed by enhancing their capacity and assisting them in doing things they think they cannot do how can

it be done?

Advantages: Suitable for organizations with a high growth orientation, always promoting innovation and productivity Help members go beyond their limits Connecting vision, cohesion, and trust between leaders and employees, leaders and managers,

Limitations: Makes leaders and members easily exhausted because of the difficulties and goals set by the organization

6 Transactional leadership: This is a leadership style that focuses on work

results If employees do not do well, they will be punished and if they do well, they will be rewarded Establish clear boundaries between leaders and members and between members, always prioritize and encourage completed work results

Advantages: Puts transparency in clear rewards/punishments and job completion first

Limitations: Lack of respect for human factors, emotions, and cohesion in the organization makes it possible for employees to sometimes make unintentional mistakes, but without understanding and care, it can easily lead to The organization's lack of unity

7 Bureaucratic leadership: This style is where the leader always follows the

previously set policies and does not change or adjust, they can listen to the opinions

of members but if it is not inconsistent with previous regulations or practices, it will most likely be rejected

Advantages: Leadership style suitable for jobs that require safety and high risk

or fields with great value such as Gold, money, real estate, Helps minimize risks, helps employee Members understand the regulations, and improves discipline Constraints: Employees feel controlled and uncomfortable working in their roles This leadership style will inhibit development and is not suitable for organizations that need creativity and continuous innovation

8 Servant leadership: This leadership style requires leaders to have empathy,

integrity, understanding, and generosity, and they always find ways to motivate and inspire their employees Prioritize serving the collective and then the leader

Advantages: Build trust, loyalty, and cohesion among members through thoughts, words, and actions There is always listening and understanding between members and leaders When a problem occurs, always find a solution to solve it at the same member level and do not impose the leader's thinking on the members of the organization

Limitations: In cases where leaders cannot balance human factors and development goals, they are easily left behind compared to more ambitious leaders Besides, this leadership style is not suitable for environments with high pressure and inflexibility in time

9 Situational leadership: This style requires leaders to have a good ability to

evaluate and update new operating processes in the rapidly changing market structure

Leaders change their leadership style in different situations based on factors such as the tasks, abilities, and morale of the assigned members

Advantages: Suitable for newly established organizations that require frequent and flexible changes in operating methods Promote employee creativity Flexibility

to solve problems in many different ways

Limitations: Requires leaders to have high expertise in all processes and be able

to turn situations quickly Besides, members will always feel pressure and stress because the leader constantly changes the way they work

It can be said that no leadership style is perfect, all styles have their advantages and limitations Therefore, leaders need to consider factors such as:

- Organization: Each organization will have different values, mission, and

vision, in addition to being influenced by many combinations of past and present founders of that organization, so it is very important difficult to change immediately Therefore, leaders need time for themselves and their employees to find the most effective leadership style along with achieving cohesion and mutual trust

- Psychology: For leaders and employee groups with different personalities, the

choice of approach is also very different Introverted employees and leaders prefer face-to-face meetings with a small number of people and often prefer written communication to solve and present problems, but extroverted people tend to enjoy meeting with many employees and conveying information to them

- Vision and capacity: To choose a suitable leadership method, the leader also

needs experience from participating in many organizations and leading many groups

of people with different personalities People with good vision will sometimes know how to trade some losses for their employees, themselves, and the organization to achieve the best results in the end

Besides, other factors can be considered such as the leader's personality, level

of experience of group members, type of job, type of organization, etc

In addition, leaders can implement methods to know the most suitable leadership style: understand themselves, learn about successful leaders, try many leadership styles, and find a mentor , listen to feedback from members,

Question 4: Analyze Maxwell's 5 levels of leadership model - The 5 levels of leadership: Proven steps to maximize your potential (Maxwell, 2011) and point out the main factors and examples for each factor How to promote leadership and create motivation for employees?

Picture 1: 5 levels of leadership (Maxwell)

This 5-level leadership model was created by John Maxwell to explain to everyone who needs or learns how to best lead Through these 5 levels, it will help people develop the skills needed to become a true leader

This model includes 5 levels from low to high: Position, Permission, Results Orientation, Human Resource Development, and finally Pinnacle This model is a scale for employees to map out their development strategies within the company and business To achieve each level in this Maxwell model, we need to understand clearly, even deeply, each meaning and responsibility in each level to strive and develop further Each level will be changed if we do our best (Glints, 2023) [first]

1 Position

Usually for people who are just starting a management job and have some power

in their hands Anyone can take on this position because almost everyone working in this position only aims to have power and abuses this bit of power to force their employees to do their work Therefore, the skills that need to be improved to complete
