Reflection Paper’s on “The Tao of Loyalty: Winning With Employees.” Leadership program

Objective:

This assignment will draw on Ajit Rao’s research (eBook). You are to assess your organization according to the Eleven Tao Factors (drivers) & 87 questions in Appendix C (p. 241-248). For your convenience, you can find the file to download at the bottom of this page. I have answered the question already; please refer to it if necessary.

You may use the following points to outline your paper, which should be 6-8 pages (double-spaced). For some sections, as is appropriate, bulleted points or charted data may be used.

Begin by briefly describing your organization as one would do on a website page “About Us.” Describe your organization’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values similarly to the in-class Case Study discussion.

Use Appendix C (pp. 241-248) to create a framework for the assessment of your organization. Use these three main sections and sub-headings.

Part A: Task Factors (Yin)

1. Job satisfaction
2. Role clarity
3. Vision buy-in
4. Job resources
5. Accomplishment

Part B: People Factors (Yang)

1. Fairness
2. Care and concern
3. Appreciation
4. Being valued
5. Trust

Part C: Communication

1. Devise a way to assess your organization according to these eleven attributes. You may wish to (a) rank them, or (b) use a high to low value on the presence of a particular criterion.
2. Identify which of these eleven factors currently contributes the most to your organization’s level of loyalty.
3. Identify some current practices that need to change if employee loyalty is to improve.
4. Lastly, what two things can you implement immediately to improve employee engagement and, thereby, organizational performance?
