Leadership – 3 pages- apa – due 23 feb

It may sound intuitive, or commonplace, that the promotion of teams should be a

prominent component of an organization’s strategic plan. However, when created and

managed ineffectively, the utilization of teams can be met with indecision, incessant

delays, conflict, dissention and eventually a dramatic loss in productivity. Compose an

essay that address the following in relation to the formation and utilization of teams

within an organization. Assume you have been appointed as the Plant Manager of a

new 5,000 employee production facility to be opened in Saudi Arabia by a long-

established European firm:

 First, as there are cultural, societal, and economic differences between European and Saudi

Arabian firms, briefly summarize the key differences between operating a business/organization

in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

 Second, the formation and utilization of teams is seen as central to the operational success of this

new production facility in Saudi Arabia. As the leader of the endeavor, suggest a team

model/theory you would implement to create and sustain a team-oriented culture in the

production facility. Briefly define/describe the model/theory and its particular relevance in this

endeavor.

 Finally, assess—in particular—how the use of this model will result in a more efficient and

effective production facility (for instance, identify cites/sources that showcase how the use of

teams results in a more efficient and effective operation).

Directions:

 Write an essay that includes an introduction paragraph, the essay’s body, and a conclusion

paragraph to address the assignment’s guide questions. Do not address the questions using a

question-and-answer format.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

 Be 3–5 pages in length, which does not include the title and reference pages, which are never a

part of the content minimum requirements.
