1ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORTask 11.The trait theory of leadership says that a leader must have those personalcharacteristics or traits of that of a successful leader. There are certain traits that asuccessful leader must have and if they have those listed traits then they can become asuccessful leader. However, behavioral theory of leadership signifies that to be asuccessful leader it is their actual behavior and action that matters rather than any traitor characteristics. It further says that powerful leadership quality is the outcome ofconstructive role behavior. Thus, both these theories are well grounded (Northouse2015). 2.Taking the example of an organization called ‘Profile international’ in Australiacriteria on which organizations put emphasis while selecting and developing effectiveleaders can be explained. Firstly, a leader should a powerful communication skillwhere they must able to listen as well as instruct. Leaders need to be adaptive andadjust to any difficult situation. They must have that personal relationship with theirfollowers so that they can trust their leaders and feel valued. Effective leaders havethe skill to develop others and utilize the opportunities for development and lastly,leaders must have an awareness of their own development to guide their team forfurther developments (Yukl 2012).

2ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORmotivates their staff by keeping the communication with their staffs open so that their voicescan get ears (Lazaroiu 2015). On the other hand, in Europe the motivation techniques thatthey use are to make their employees know that the employees are trusted to give their best tothe company. They set small goal every week for their staffs to achieve them, a purpose is setfor the staffs to recognize the vision in a better way. Individually the staffs are motivatedrather than the whole team. Rewards are given which is based on the feedbacks of the worksdone. However, they give their employees to lead and make them see a bigger picture of howthey are contributing to the end goal (Manzoor 2012). Task 3The recent movie that I watch is Annabelle: Creation, which I went to see with mybest friend. I absolutely love the movie, as I like watching horror movies. According to me, ithad some satisfactory scary scenes that made me skip my heartbeat. Whereas my friendthinks that it was bit slow and in comparison to the original Annabelle, this part is lesssatisfying. However, for me the director actually has the idea of how to maintain the tensionby using silence. It was not at all slow rather a mystery, which was developing intosomething more terrifying. The actors did a brilliant job, which I think is even better than theprevious one. The reason behind this contrasting perception towards this movie is definitelyour differences in interests, sex and beliefs. These definitely play a role in our perception andchoices. However, my friend’s interest lies in more of action related movies because for himhorror movies have the same cheap scares and is too cliché. In contrast, my interest lies inthis type of movies and I have my belief in negative forces or ghosts. Therefore, I hugelyenjoyed the movie as it kept me tensed, amused and thrilled until the end.
