For this assignment you will be applying the concepts of the Johari Window
and Transactional Analysis to some specific scenarios that you might face
if you were a leadership development coach. Of course make sure to
thoroughly review the required readings before starting on this assignment.
For each of the scenarios below, use at least one reference from the
required readings to answer the specific question. Your paper should be
two to three pages in length:
- An employee shows up late for work. The supervisor says “I’m really
disappointed in you. This is the fifth time this month you’ve been late for
work!” The employee responds “I’m tired of you singling me out! Bob,
Carol, and Ted are also late for work sometimes but you never chew
them out!” Based on Transactional Analysis, what roles are the
supervisor and employee playing? - An employee receives a performance review from the supervisor. The
supervisor points out several areas where the employee has performed
well and where the employee’s performance needs to be improved. The
employee responds, “Thank you so much for the feedback. How would
you suggest I go about improving my performance?” Based on
Transactional Analysis, what roles are the supervisor and employee
playing? - A leadership development coach is brought into a company to try to
improve communication between supervisors and subordinates. The
coach asks everyone to write down areas where their supervisor or
subordinate has a blind spot. Everyone writes down a lot of complaints
about areas that they think their supervisor or subordinate is clueless
about. The coach shares what everyone wrote with the whole group.
