TEAM DELIVERABLE 1: JOB ANNOUNCEMENT 4 Explanatory Document How and why the job announcement reflects the themes and specific readings The job announcement focuses on leadership traits that LSN values and aligns with the company’s mission and its four core values. Customer-centricity, the first of LSN's four core values, focuses on creating positive customer experiences. The job announcement requires applicants to have experience building positive relationships with customers and developing a climate where customers are the focus. The leadership traits require team members to be dedicated to the company and place a premium on speed, flexibility, and the ability to lead in uncertain situations (Stockton et al., 2014, “Developing 21 st Century Leadership Skills,” para. 2). The decision-maker should always have the customer in mind when making decisions and be confident in the decisions made (Indeed, 2023, “Top 10 Leadership Traits,” para. 6). By setting a vision and strategy for the team, LSN leaders exemplify the need for innovation. The job announcement seeks candidates with the ability to bring their team together as a cohesive unit to develop new ideas, express creativity, and inspire collaboration. By encouraging autonomy, employees are empowered and inspired to develop new ideas and approaches to their work (UMGC, n.d., “Differences Between Management and Leadership,” para. 2). Leaders who drive creativity and purpose will ensure short and long-term goals are met (Stockton et al., 2014, “Developing 21 st Century Leadership Skills,” para. 3). Malos wrote that great leaders are made through teaching and observation (UMGC, n.d., “The Most Important Leadership Theories,” p. 417). Thus, through continuing education, leaders will stay up-to-date on the company, industry, and technical matters. The job announcement reflects

TEAM DELIVERABLE 1: JOB ANNOUNCEMENT 5 the importance that LSN places on knowledgeable leaders whose possess a commitment to lifelong learning, which enables leaders to initiate and foster change (Kirkpatrick & Locke, 1991, p. 5 5 ). Leaders are also expected to develop staff (Indeed, 2023, “How to Develop the Character Traits of a Leader,” para. 1). LSN’s fourth core value is sustainability. The job posting seeks a candidate who demonstrates the ability to understand ethics and exhibit integrity. With operations currently looking to expand to Saudi Arabia in the next year, LSN leaders are expected to be competent in global leadership. In addition, effective leaders must demonstrate flexibility, open-mindedness, cultural interest, and sensitivity (SHRM, 2008, “Essential Leadership Competencies,” Fig. 2). Through diversity and inclusion, LSN will be provided a competitive advantage (Stockton et al., 2014, “Developing 21 st Century Leadership Skills,” para. 3). Also, environmental sustainability continues to be a global focus. Therefore, a leader at LSN should be committed to environmental consciousness and leading the company towards ongoing sustainability. The reasoning for the choice of language used in the job announcement In developing the job posting, consideration was made in the evolution of leadership: shifting from autocratic previously to now fostering employee development and maximizing workforce performance through transformational leadership (UMGC, n.d., “Transformational Leadership,” para. 1). The significance of creating strong relationships with stakeholders, consumers, and employees in a contemporary corporate setting is highlighted. An effective leader possesses traits such as accountability, adaptability, and creativity, along with people management skills, empathy, and interpersonal relationship skills (Indeed, 2023, “Top 10 Leadership Traits,” para. 1-10). Today, leaders inspire, motivate, encourage, and enable followers (Gandolfi & Stone,

TEAM DELIVERABLE 1: JOB ANNOUNCEMENT 6 2017, p. 20). Transformational leaders prioritize both the collective success of the team and the achievement of its objectives along with the advancement of each team member. Transformational leadership fosters six activities for enacting a vision: structuring, selecting and training, motivating, managing information, team building, and promoting change and innovation (Kirkpatrick & Locke, 1991, pp. 56-58). The keywords within the job announcement place a high value on how transformational leadership motivates and inspires by helping employees see the importance and higher good of the task (UMGC, n.d., “The Most Important Leadership Theories,” p. 418).
