Scenario
Project BSBMGT605 provide leadership across the organisation
Write a paper of no more than 4,000 words on business leadership.
All information sourced from other people, authors or writers (from either electronic or hard copy sources), must be properly
cited and referenced.
Wherever possible give examples of behaviours or situations relevant to your workplace.
Explain what you consider a good leader, in the workplace, does and how this impacts on organisational success. In particular
consider the communication skills that good leaders demonstrate.
Why are good communication and interpersonal skills so important?
How might the behavioural characteristics demonstrated by leaders affect the other personnel in the organisation; that is, does
good leadership impact on the ability of individuals and teams to perform to the required standards?
Consider and discuss the role that good leaders play with regard to risk minimisation/ mitigation.
Consider also:
1. How good networking skills will support good leadership.
2. What contribution a good leader can make to the development and maintenance of high performing teams.
3. How a leader can ensure that their own competencies are current and suited to their role.
4. What the role of a leader is, with regard to communicating, to the members of the organisation and to relevant stakeholders, the
legislation, codes of practice and any by-laws applicable to operation of the business.
Project BSBMGT615 contribute to organisation development
Answer each of the following questions and submit the answers, along with your proposal, to the assessor:
1. Develop, describe and document in detail a business development initiative that would be relevant to the business in which you
work.
2. Explain how this improvement might be considered creative or innovative. (If you are not working you will need to discuss, with
your assessor, how you can address this as a simulation or how you can address it in terms of a company for which you have
previously worked.)
3. Would it be necessary to conduct a risk analysis and the cost–benefit analysis? Explain.
4. What are lateral thinking skills and why might it be important to use them?
5. With whom would you consult and why would you consult with these people?
6. What aspects of organisational culture, dynamics and behaviour would be important to the outcome of the plan?
7. How would the plan be implemented and how would its impact be monitored and evaluated?
The description of the intended organisational development process should be formatted in such a way that it can actually be presented
to senior management of the organisation as an organisational development proposal.

vision and values. It should be 2-4 paragraphs long, and effectively highlight the key points that your paper will
discuss in detail later.
