Ques. Consider a class is an organization. As an organization which elements and
concepts from the course were observed by you. Connect a minimum of 5
concepts with examples.

GREAT MAN LEADERSHIP AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

Autocratic leadership is a management style

wherein one person controls all the decisions
and takes very little inputs from other group
members. Autocratic leaders make choices
or decisions based on their own beliefs and
do not involve others for their suggestion or
advice.

Example: During one of the class

As per Great Man Leadership, leaders are
born which certain intrinsic qualities that
define them and make them different from
others.
Example: During the first class when groups
were formed randomly for a class activity,
certain student in each group took the
responsibility to note down things and decide
on behalf of whole group.
assignment where we had to solve a case on
a killer. In few of the options, one of the
group members literally fought with us for a
answer and he/she made sure that everybody
in the group listen to him/ her irrespective of
what others thought.
The trait displayed there is that of an
autocratic leader who takes decision on his
own and doesn't listen to others involved in
the decision making.

Clearly some people inherited the quality of

leadership. Not only because they learnt it
throughout their life time but also they were
born leaders and the inherited leadership
quality just got triggered when requied.

3. MASLOWS HIEARCHY
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs includes five
levels of human needs that allow an
individual to feel fulfilled. It is often applied
to the workplace as a means to determine
how to more effectively motivate employees
and to make sure their needs are met.
it has 5 levels. They are mentioned as
follows -
Physiological Needs
Safety
Love and Belonging
Esteem
Self Actualization
Example: Now taking the Organizational
Class for the example -
Physiological Needs - It refers to most basic
human needs. Basically when it comes to
class, it means providing a comfortable class
for studying, restroom breaks, water
facilities etc.
Safety - You should feel that your resources
and personal property are safe and protected.
Ensuring a safe workplace may include
providing ergonomic office furniture that
properly supports you and reduces the risk of
injury.
02
Love and Belonging - Various class
activities and group assignments in the class
helped the students to connect with students
from different department easily and make
friends.
Esteem - Basically it realizing that through
the class, we are learning things and growing
which we all did not only with this
assignment but throughout the lectures.
It increases the confidence and when the
student are confident enough, they are more
involved with the class which happened
because of different class activities
Self Actualization - A person ultimately
wants to feel they are doing the best they can
in their position, which helps them feel
motivated to continue on their career path
and succeed. A self-actualized employee
feels empowered and trusted, which
encourages growth and engagement.
HERZBERG TWO FACTOR THEORY
OF MOTIVATION
According to Herzberg, some job variables
contribute to satisfaction while others shield
employees from unhappiness. Herzberg
asserts that "No satisfaction" and "No
dissatisfaction" are the opposites of
"Satisfaction" and "Dissatisfaction,"
respectively.
Hygiene factors- Hygiene factors are those
job factors which are essential for existence
of motivation at workplace. These do not
lead to positive satisfaction for long-term.
But if these factors are absent/if these factors
are non-existant at workplace, then they lead
to dissatisfaction.
Motivation Factor - According to Herzberg,
the hygiene factors cannot be regarded as
motivators. The motivational factors yield
positive satisfaction. These factors are
inherent to work. These factors motivate the
employees for a superior performance.
02
Example: As they interact with their
students, teachers need to be mindful of
hygiene and motivators. Praise, interesting
assignments, making the curriculum
pertinent, and autonomy are some examples
of things that motivate students. When
compared to larger children, like teenagers,
younger children are frequently more
motivated with less effort.
Classroom management is perhaps one of the
most important hygiene-related aspects.
Even highly motivated students will lose
interest in learning very quickly if the
instructor is unable to keep the peace in a
fair and reasonable manner. If the instructor
is unclear about expectations and
communication, marking assignments for
older students and college students can also
become demotivating. Last but not least, the
teacher must serve as an example of
knowledge and organisation for the students.
ALFRED ERG THEORY
Alderfer's ERG theory suggests that there are
three groups of core needs: existence (E),
relatedness (R), and growth (G)—hence the
acronym ERG. These groups align with
Maslow's levels of physiological needs,
social needs, and self-actualization needs,
respectively.
Example:
Existence Needs: These are the fundamental
physical and security requirements of
students. It basically included allowing the
students have access to secure learning
environments, wholesome food, and clean
water mainly in breaks.
Relatedness Needs: The needs for
relationships, social interaction, and a feeling
of belonging are referred to as relatedness
needs.
This was developed with interactive class
lectures and ensuring that each and every
memeber of the class in participating.
Growth needs: They are those that are
related to personal growth, accomplishment,
and challenge.
It included assignments that helped to
enhance our knowledge and understand the
concept better.

Answer: The course in Organisational

POSSIBLE IMPORVEMENT -

Improvement 1:
Since I am an introvert, so I would like to work on that and especially on increasing my openness and
extraversion. I believe it would help me connect with people more without getting drained.

Improvement 2:
I would like to increase my managerial grid score to (9,9) because sacrificing the work at times can
not be afforded.

Improvement 3:
I know the fact that I am a Great Man leader but because of my low confidence and shyness,
sometimes I often just stay silent and don't speak up and take responsibility as a leader. I would like to
work on that a little so that I could be my true self.
