The assignment focuses on the development of a firm as well as its employees, drawing from various books and journals. Key areas to explore include leadership styles (e.g., Blanchard's 'Leading at a Higher Level', Decuyper et al.'s team learning model), organizational dynamics (Bolman & Deal's 'Reframing Organizations'), and the role of knowledge management in innovation (Leonard). Additionally, the assignment should consider the impact of performance management strategies ('Employee Performance Management: A Positive Approach Pays Off') on employee growth within the organization.
