The Components of Success and Reasons for Failure

Post an initial response with your comparative analysis of the Shinseki and Jefferson leaderships based on the 3 questions below, making sure to address each:

(1) Apply the transformational leadership theory as explained in the Rainey text (including the theory’s component parts) and in the Shinseki biography (an expanded
explanation of the theory) to the case of Chief Burtell Jefferson. Explain why Jefferson was successful in transforming his police department and Shinseki was not
successful in transforming the VA.

(2) Then go beyond the transformational leadership theory to other leadership theories and strategies you studied this week to explain how and why these two leaders
succeeded or failed. Make sure to include some specific strategies used by successful public organization leaders as articulated in the Rainey text.

(3) Analyze how organizational characteristics and environmental factors may have impacted the success or failure of Shinseki and Jefferson as leaders in their
specific organizations.
