First and last name:
After reading the "Case Application: Master and Commander: Part 2" on page 448, answer the following.
1. What do you think of this description of Captain Holly Graf’s leader style? Do you think that Captain Graf could even be called a leader?
2. What kind of power do you think Graf used as a ship commander? Explain you choices.
3. Not surprisingly this whole scenario rocked the Navy to its core, because it reflected on the way the Navy chooses, promotes and then monitors it hand-picked leaders. What changes, if any do you think need to take place in its leadership training and development?
4. Some critics of Graf’s treatment have said that institutional sexism played a role in her removal. Do you think that could be possible? Would that “excuse” the way she led?
