Unit II Assessment
Question 1 People handle conflict in different ways. Assume
you are the project leader and two of your team members (who report to you) are
trying to negotiate who will take the major share of the work on a new project.
Both feel they are overwhelmed and overworked already and neither wants the
additional responsibility. Assume one of the team members has a competing style
and the other prefers a collaborative style of conflict resolution. What do you
think the outcome of the negotiation will be? Explain your answer.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.

Question 2 The lines between leading and managing are
sometimes blurred in practice. What factors (e.g., technology, the economy,
etc.) do you believe are responsible for making this distinction so vague?
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.

Question 3 Is there a cause-and-effect relationship between
leader behavior and follower performance? What is the nature of the direction
of the relationship? How strong is the relationship? Please use examples from
personal experience to support your position?

Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
Question 4 “All managers should be leaders, but not all
leaders should be managers.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Support your position.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.

Question 5 What is the difference between functional and
dysfunctional conflict? Can conflict that starts off as functional become
dysfunctional? Can dysfunctional conflict be changed to functional conflict?
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
