Evaluate how your six-month LIS will be implemented and measured including at least three metrics you will employ to measure and track results as well as how you will measure its ROI.
This last part of your Leadership Intervention plan will begin with a focus on John, including his leadership effectiveness and his professional development to address gaps in the competencies needed for improvement. Once this is complete you will have successfully researched and developed your leadership intervention strategy (LIS). However, you must consider how this plan can be realistically implemented and evaluated within an organization. This final phase of the project encompasses the practical application and measurement of your plan.
On the basis of the course assigned readings review your case (ATTACHED) again. Complete the following tasks for your LIS project Part III.
Tasks
- Analyze John’s effectiveness as a leader, where gaps may exist, and what leadership skills may need to improve.
- Justify at least five key learning and professional development objectives that will enhance John’s effectiveness and a six-month learning plan to develop John’s emotional intelligence and associated competencies as well as strategies to overcome his resistance to change.
- Evaluate how your six-month LIS will be implemented and measured including at least three metrics you will employ to measure and track results as well as how you will measure its ROI.
- Assess how the application of emotional intelligence and leadership theory will minimize change resistance and foster appreciation and organization support of your plan.
- Provide a detailed summary of your six-month LIS, including:
- The positive changes you hope to achieve
- Justification of your methods and strategies
- Potential challenges or roadblocks to your plan
- Strategies and tactics for overcoming these challenges
- A timeline for implementation and review of each component of the plan
Important hint: You might find it helpful to begin each section of the paper by discussing the key themes and cues you observe. Then, do research on those key themes to both broaden and deepen your evaluation of the case and your understanding of the important issues. In the final product, about half your written evaluation of each topic should be research. About half should be application to the case study.
Submission Details:
- Submit your evaluation in a 5 page Microsoft Word document.
- Name your document SU_W5_LastName_FirstInitial.doc
- Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
- Cite any sources in the APA format.

Leadership Intervention Strategy
Case of Prison X
Leadership Intervention Strategy
You are an organizational and leadership consultant called in to develop a leadership
intervention strategy (LIS) for the state’s largest prison. You learn from several members of the
prison management team that they and 30 other management-level staff are actively seeking
employment elsewhere. Mass resignations appear imminent. These staff members feel that
they are undercompensated, overworked, unfulfilled, and underappreciated. The group
consistently complains about the leadership style of the prison warden, John Trevor. He is
described as distant, cold, uninvolved, and apathetic. When you meet with John Trevor
personally, you are surprised to find a pleasant, unassuming gentleman who is shocked to learn
of his team’s displeasure. John feels that his management team is an exemplary group of caring
professionals, and he is deeply disquieted about the possibility of these individuals leaving their
jobs. John expresses grave concern about the safety and security of the prison, other employees,
and inmates should there be a mass exodus of the management team. He is now looking up to
you to assess the situation and develop strategies to mitigate these issues.
Over the next few weeks, you will explore the challenges and opportunities of this
situation. Clearly, significant gaps exist between the prison warden and his management team.
These gaps could conceivably lead to safety, cost, and operations issues. Consider the
ramifications of a prison lacking a committed and cohesive management team. As part of a six-
month LIS, you will develop questions, analyses, solutions, interventions, and strategies to
improve the organization’s leadership, employee attitudes, perceptions, communication, and
culture.
