\nEg: Assignment Task:
\n\u201cWhere does leadership begin? Where change begins\u201d. James MacGregor Burns
\nTesco remains the UK\u2019s largest supermarket chain but, according to Sir Terry, the brand has lost its reputation for low prices.
\n\u201cTesco is the biggest, people expect it to have the best prices for the products that they buy,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of that trust has been eroded.\u201d A Which? survey in December found that Asda is now the UK\u2019s cheapest supermarket.
\nTesco lost a number of senior executives under Mr Clarke\u2019s regime. And that has continued, with four key Tesco executives – Chris Bush, the UK managing director, Carl Rogberg, the UK finance director, Kevin Grace, the group commercial director, and John Scouler, food commercial director \u2013 all leaving the retailer following the accounting scandal. Five others remain suspended. \u201cToo many of those were allowed to go in too short a period of time,\u201d said Sir Terry. \u201cThere was a shortage of experience.\u201d
\n\u201cIn the end that\u2019s a failure of leadership, not a failure of the business, not a failure of the people who work hard every day in the business,\u201d Sir Terry said.
\n\u201cWhen you\u2019re the CEO, if it goes well, you get credit, if it doesn\u2019t go well, you must take responsibility and Phil Clarke has taken that responsibility and paid the price with his job.\u201d<\/p>\n
*TASK:

It is important to identify important challenges faced by the leadership and to critically evaluate the outcome of the leadership style and approach in the organisation\/ business. (Support your briefing paper with reference to a significant range of leadership and organisational development theories.)
\nYour conclusions and recommendations will provide a practical approach to the outcomes of the theories used, including specific insights into how the case study organisation could adopt new approaches to leadership and managing strategic change
\nThe answer should include an understanding of leadership topics such as;
\n\u2022 trait\/ behaviour,
\n\u2022 contingency\/ situational
