Leadership Coach Knight
Leadership Coach Knight: A Will to Win” and “Coach K: A Matter of the Heart.”
Write a 500-750-word paper that analyzes the two leadership case studies, “Coach Knight: A Will to Win” and “Coach K: A Matter of the Heart.”
Address the following questions and concepts:
1) Which of the leadership perspectives discussed in Week 1 do you think is manifested in both coaches? What are the power bases both coaches rely upon? Whose actions are more aligned with a managerial role and whose actions are more aligned with a leadership role?
2) How significant were their respective traits in influencing their leadership? The textbook provides a list of traits and links these with the five-factor personality model. Is there an agreement between the traits you have identified and those presented in your text? In what ways has this affected the performance effectiveness of the coaches?
