Introduction
This assessment critically examines key managerial and organisational psychology concepts
through the lens of the Ubuntu Bank case study. The case centres on Martin Bila, a newly
promoted executive tasked with leading a merger, whose leadership approach raises important
questions about charismatic leadership, ethical behaviour, organisational redesign, diversity
management, and the potential role of artificial intelligence in leadership coaching. The
assessment is structured into two sections. Section A comprises four essay questions that
require the application of theoretical frameworks from the prescribed textbook (Luthans,
Luthans, & Luthans, 2015) to the case study. These questions address the identification of
Martin's leadership theory and its ethical dimensions, the application of horizontal organisation
design principles, individual approaches to managing diversity, and a critical evaluation of AI-
assisted coaching. Section B consists of five multiple-choice questions that test comprehension
of diversity, motivational theories, personality traits, positive emotions, and emotional
intelligence. Together, these questions assess the ability to integrate theory with practical
organisational scenarios at a master's level.
SECTION A
1.1: Identification of the Modern Leadership Theory
The modern leadership theory applied by Martin Bila is charismatic leadership. According to
the prescribed textbook (Luthans, Luthans, & Luthans, 2015), charismatic leadership is a
modern theoretical process where leaders, by the force of their personal abilities, are capable
of having profound and extraordinary effects on followers. The theory posits that charismatic
leaders are characterised by self-confidence, high expectations for associates, an ideological
vision, and the use of personal example. Followers of such leaders identify with the leader and
the mission, exhibit extreme loyalty, and emulate the leader’s values and behaviour.
In the case study, Martin Bila’s promotion was partly due to his “strong confidence and the
impact he had on subordinates to perform and exceed targets.” This demonstrates the
charismatic leader’s ability to inspire and motivate followers to achieve extraordinary
performance. Furthermore, he “dictated his vision of the merger from a self-interested
perspective through one-way communication,” which aligns with the charismatic leader’s
tendency to promote their own personal vision and use one-way communication. Although
charismatic leadership can be effective in driving performance, the theory also recognises a
