Leadership Style/Strategic Approach
As a newly hired leader for Global Network Administrators Group, I would prefer a
hybrid leadership style for the scenario presented. I feel like, in general, a task-oriented approach
would be the most beneficial in successfully influencing change in this particular scenario.
However, as someone who gravitates and values interpersonal relationships, as well as
communication and compromise, I would want to infuse a person-centered leadership style as

the culture in the U.S. office become so strong that the atmosphere became that of “us vs. them”

The organizational culture in both offices is vastly different. The U.S. office has no one
holding the members accountable, even though there are company policies in place that are
