In your discussion, compose an initial post where you describe and evaluate a leadership style. Relate this leadership style back to the MBT scenario and reflect on the implications of leadership style as it impacts the scenario. Analyze both positive and negative traits and their relationship to team composition.

The scenario is in bold below

Imagine that you are a consultant for MBT, a company that manufactures USB storage devices. The company is enjoying fast-paced growth, but collaboration and innovation have been hindered by the unwillingness of senior employees to adopt new collaboration tools and strategies. The company has a culture of promoting from within, and some of the new managers have vast technical expertise; however, they lack management experience. As a result, they are having difficulty managing their teams during a time of growth and restructuring. In addition, a new help-desk department has been created in the Philippines.

There is currently a conflict between the hardware and software development departments over who owns the overall design and development process of new models. Project managers from both departments want control of the process with the other department having accountability only for the timeline. The CEO is considering a proposal from the project managers to restructure the departments into teams composed of one or more hardware engineers, one or more software developers, and a project manager, where each team will control the timeline for its products. However, the executive management team noticed that all three teams have distinct personalities and working styles. They are concerned that while the proposed structure might improve productivity, it might also make it difficult to manage the teams.
