Module 3 - Case

LEADING

Case Assignment
Few CEOs have been subject to as much criticism and attacks as Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg. Most famously, he was portrayed as the villain in the movie The Social
Network. Shareholders have complained about his leadership and failure to increase
the stock price of Facebook, and others have claimed he is socially inept and too
young and immature to be a CEO of a multi-billion-dollar corporation.However, in
spite of this criticism, Zuckerberg is unarguably one of the most successful CEOs
and entrepreneurs in corporate history. His small project that he created while he
was a college student has become world dominant in the social media business and is
still growing and expanding. So in spite of all of the criticism, he clearly has
been a successful leader. For this assignment, do some research in the online
library and find out what you can about Zuckerberg’s leadership style. Take a look
at both the criticisms as well as what you think he is doing right or what led him
to his strong success.Here are a few articles to get you started:Facebook's
leadership: Time for an update? (Jun. 13, 2010). The Washington Post. [Available on
ProQuest]Bailey, B., & May, P. (2014, Feb 03). Facebook at 10: Zuckerberg pushing
for change. Oakland Tribune. [ProQuest]Lesley, C. T. (2012, Jan 27). Job at Facebook
not for sensitive types. Toronto Star. [ProQuest]Once you have finished your
research, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following questions: 
 
 - How would you describe Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership traits? Explain your reason
and refer to specific leadership traits from Theories and Leadership
Approach (2014) and page 211-212 of Hiriyappa (2009).
 - How would you describe Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership style? Was it
transformational, transactional, autocratic, participative? All of the above, or
none? Refer to concepts from pages 204-210 of Hiriyappa (2009) and either
Kendrick (2011) or Kirimi, and Barine (2012) as part of your answer.
 - Consider both the positive and negative aspects of Zuckerberg’s leadership
style and traits. What is good, and what is detrimental to Facebook? Did the good
outweigh the bad?

one of your current or former leaders. Preferably this should be a leader in the
organization you wrote about in your Module 1 and 2 SLPs or someone who is your
current or former supervisor who you had a lot of direct experience with. Please do
not write about yourself, even if you are a CEO or senior leader.Review the
background materials and think carefully about how the various leadership traits and
styles apply to the leader you are writing about. Does anything ring a bell like
“that exactly describes my leader!”? After carefully thinking about how the concepts
from this module apply to your leader, write a 2- to 3-page paper answering the
following questions:

refer to specific leadership traits from Theories and leadership approach (2014)
and pages 211-212 of Hiriyappa (2009). Your answer to this question should be one
to two paragraphs in length.
 - How would you describe this person’s leadership style? Was it transformational,
transactional, autocratic, participative? All of the above, or none? Refer to
concepts from pages 204-2010 of Hiriyappa (2009) and either Kendrick (2011) or
Kirimi, and Barine (2012) as part of your answer. Your answer to this question
should be one to two paragraphs in length.
