1. Leadership is said to be a vital quality which is becoming very rare in organizations. It would not be wrong if we say that it is a progression where an individual solicits the backing of other entities for the completion of mutual objectives. The leaders are the visionaries and also act as a catalyst in terms of influencing and inspiring others. Based on the above statements discuss the significance of leadership in any organization. Conclude by answering how the organization would fare if leadership is not right?

2. Harvey and Louis are Team leaders of teams A and B respectively. Harvey is very open to feedback and does not let his perception rule his decision. He takes action based on facts and figures whereas Louis gets carried away with his perception. Team A is a very happy and motivated team that is clearly visible by their performance and just the reverse goes for team B. Louis takes aid from a self-help book where he reads about the managerial implications of perception. When he does a self-analysis he understood that all this while he was working totally under the influence of his perception. Louis decides to take a plunge and modify his behavior. Discuss any three managerial implications of perception and conclude by stating that what could have made Louis change his way of behaving?

3. Karan and Jacob are co-workers. They both are working on the same project but their work values are very different from each other. Karan belongs to     GenX (The X Generation) and relies a lot on the team-work as well as its (team’s) progression and upliftment, whereas Jacob is from GenY (The Y   Generation) or the Millennial and for him, self-reliance is more important. Though they share a great personal rapport they always are found to have       disagreements at work.

a. Explain the reason for their disagreement? It is natural to have such disagreement, give concluding remarks for the Jacob
