The purpose of this assignment:
- To broaden your thinking and mindset beyond the current organizations in which you work today. The Deloitte article will help you to consider what is happening today and what will happen in the future as it applies to “leadership valuation” in your profession.
- To have you begin to consider the financial impact of great or poor leadership on an organization’s success. The “Leadership Premium” whitepaper presents this impact through the lens of targeted, specific, strategic measurements, and the premium or discount corresponding to the leadership of the firm.
Pre-Reading for this Assignment:
The Specific Assignment:
- Write a two-page reflection paper, double-spaced, your name in the header.
- This is a reflection paper – share your personal thoughts and insights. You do not need to do any additional research.
- Based on the reading, reflect and share your thoughts on the following:
- For those of you who believe your current or former firm’s leadership would allow for a “premium” to be placed on your firm’s valuation, please explain why; and further, how would you suggest they continue to maintain or improve what has been achieved?
- For those of you who believe your current or former firm’s leadership would require a “discount” to be placed on your firm’s valuation, please explain why; and further, how would you suggest they move forward to reduce the “discount”?
- Eighty (80)% of analysts cite face-to-face meetings as their preferred way of finding out about leadership capabilities. Do you think this this is a smart way to approach valuing leadership in an organization? Would you invest in the company if that was the primary method used to “value” leadership? Why or why not?
