Q1

Answer the following question in essay form (double-spaced, APA format) of 3-5 pages:

· Lawler advises paying the individual instead of the job, and asserts that pay for performance should focus on collective performance more than individual performance. Do you agree or disagree? State your position and have academic sources in support.

Lawler, E. E. (2000). Rewarding excellence. Pay strategies for the new century. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

You will need at least five peer-reviewed sources to support your claims.

Q2

Building onto Exhibit 3-1 on page 52, “Leadership is not the same as management. People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led. Management is a function that must be exercised in any business or team, whereas leadership is a relationship between the leader and the led that can energize a team or organization (see Exhibit 3-1). Leadership is the ability to influence people to achieve the goals of a team.” 

Give a specific example in which a company failed specifically because of poor management, and another because of poor leadership (define each, then answer through those definitions – you can use personal examples of you wish).

Define social loafing, and then answer how you dealt with it on a professional level (i.e., exclude experiences with regard to school).
