Leadership, Projects and Technology: Test Review

Everything for the Unit 4 test on one page: the key facts from all 5 lessons, the mistakes that cost the most marks, and a practice test that points you back to the lessons you need.

Key facts

Leadership Styles

  • A leadership style is the usual way a leader makes decisions and works with a team.
  • Autocratic = leader decides alone. Democratic = team gives input or votes. Laissez-faire = team decides for itself.
  • Transformational = inspires with a big goal. Servant = puts the team first. Coaching = helps a person learn and decide.
  • Match the style to the situation: urgency, team experience, time and how much buy-in you need.
  • Every style has a risk if it is used at the wrong time or all the time.

Managing a Project

  • The five stages: initiating (goals), planning (tasks), executing (do the plan), monitoring (track progress), closing (deliver and reflect).
  • A KPI (key performance indicator) is a number you track to see whether you are reaching your goal.
  • Delegating gives each task one owner, matched to their strengths, with a deadline.
  • A backup (contingency) plan says what you will do if a risk happens.

Digital Tools and Staying Safe Online

  • Spreadsheets are best for budgets and numbers; a formula starts with = and updates by itself.
  • Every tool has a cost: money (free, freemium, subscription, fees), time to learn, or your data.
  • Use a long, unique passphrase for every account and turn on two-factor authentication.
  • Phishing signs: rushing you, an odd sender, strange links, requests for passwords or codes, prizes you never entered for.
  • Collect only the customer information you need, keep it private and delete it when done.
  • Choose a tool by matching it to the task, then comparing cost, safety and skills needed.

Business Skills Everywhere: Subjects and Careers

  • Creative thinking generates many ideas; critical thinking judges which ideas will work.
  • The problem-solving cycle: define, research causes, generate solutions, choose, implement, evaluate.
  • Financial literacy means understanding money well enough to make good choices.
  • Self-employed people work for themselves; entrepreneurs start and grow a business and take the risk.
  • Many skilled tradespeople run their own businesses, so they need business skills too.
  • A portfolio holds your work plus short reflections: what you did, the skill you used, what you would change.

How Entrepreneurs Make a Difference

  • Ventures can address social, economic, environmental and ethical issues.
  • A social enterprise sells products or services mainly to help solve a social or environmental problem.
  • First Nations, Métis and Inuit are three distinct Indigenous peoples in Canada.
  • Common challenges: money, networks, bias, internet access and experience.
  • A loan is repaid with interest; a grant is not repaid; a mentor gives advice and support.

Where marks get lost

  • Thinking one style is always the best. Even autocratic leadership is the right choice in an emergency. (Leadership Styles)
  • Mixing up laissez-faire with democratic. In democratic leadership the leader still makes the final call with the team's input; in laissez-faire the team members decide for themselves. (Leadership Styles)
  • Using laissez-faire with a brand-new team and then being surprised when tasks are forgotten. (Leadership Styles)
  • Believing a servant leader is a pushover. Servant leaders still set goals; they just focus on helping the team succeed. (Leadership Styles)
  • Thinking you need to be the president or captain to lead. Anyone can show leadership in a group. (Leadership Styles)
  • Forgetting to add costs to the goal. Washing 60 cars at $10 gives $600 of revenue, but only $500 for the food bank after $100 of costs. (Managing a Project)
  • Writing a vague goal like "raise lots of money". Without a number and a date, no one can tell whether you succeeded. (Managing a Project)
  • Assigning a task to "everyone". When everyone owns a task, nobody does it. Give each task one owner. (Managing a Project)
  • Skipping the monitoring stage, so a problem (too few cars) is only noticed when it is too late to fix. (Managing a Project)
  • Ending the project without a reflection, so the same mistakes happen at the next event. (Managing a Project)
  • Using the same password everywhere. If one site is hacked, every account is open. (Digital Tools and Staying Safe Online)
  • Believing a tool is free when it shows ads, limits features or collects your data. There is almost always some cost. (Digital Tools and Staying Safe Online)
  • Copying an AI helper's answer without checking it. AI tools can make up facts that sound true. (Digital Tools and Staying Safe Online)
  • Posting a photo of an order list that shows customers' names and emails. (Digital Tools and Staying Safe Online)
  • Clicking a link in an urgent message instead of opening the real app yourself to check. (Digital Tools and Staying Safe Online)
  • Jumping straight to a solution without researching the cause, so the fix does not solve the real problem. (Business Skills Everywhere: Subjects and Careers)
  • Thinking business skills only matter if you become a business owner. They help in every job and subject. (Business Skills Everywhere: Subjects and Careers)
  • Believing the skilled trades do not need business skills, when many tradespeople run their own companies. (Business Skills Everywhere: Subjects and Careers)
  • Mixing up self-employment and entrepreneurship. A freelancer working alone is self-employed; an entrepreneur builds a business that can grow and hire. (Business Skills Everywhere: Subjects and Careers)
  • Filling a portfolio with work but no reflections, so it does not show what you learned or how you grew. (Business Skills Everywhere: Subjects and Careers)
  • Thinking a social enterprise cannot make a profit. It can and often must; it just uses the profit for its cause. (How Entrepreneurs Make a Difference)
  • Treating First Nations, Métis and Inuit as one group. They are three distinct peoples with their own cultures. (How Entrepreneurs Make a Difference)
  • Mixing up a loan and a grant. A loan must be paid back; a grant does not, if you meet its conditions. (How Entrepreneurs Make a Difference)
  • Believing every entrepreneur has the same chances. Money, networks, bias and internet access are not equal for everyone. (How Entrepreneurs Make a Difference)
  • Calling a business "eco-friendly" without evidence. A claim about helping the environment must be true and specific. (How Entrepreneurs Make a Difference)
