Not a day goes by without a news story on an issue affecting the workplace. Examples range from the termination of a high-profile executive to the passing of new legislation. For this assignment, students are required to work in teams to develop a short presentation analyzing a current event relevant to employment law . The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate an understanding of the course content as well as an ability to apply this knowledge to the analysis of a current event. The article, which can be sourced in a newspaper, business report, business magazine, or authoritative website must pertain to one or more topics covered in the second half of the class, after the midterm test. In a maximum of ten minutes , students are required to: Summarize the article (include all necessary background information); Identify, discuss and analyze the main issue covered in the article, making links to all relevant secondary issues and concepts; and Comment on the actions taken by the parties (e.g., the employer, the employee, government, etc.). Presentations should be supported by some form of a visual aid (e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint slides or a poster board display) and should have a proper introduction and conclusion. Teams must contact the professor by the end of week two to confirm the appropriateness of your topic selection. Teams are required to complete, sign, and return to the professor a team contract, maintain a team log, and submit peer evaluations at the time of the presentation. Students whose choice of issues demonstrates creativity and a deep understanding of the selected topic will score well.

Team Project Guidelines
Objective
This capstone course concludes with a research Team Project that starts during the first week and continues throughout the duration of the class. It culminates with the submission of a formal team report and an oral presentation by each team during Week 7, and Peer Reviews in Week 8.
Each team will identify and explore an emerging technology. This will be a technology that may already exist, but is drawing attention because of new applications, anticipated impacts or potential controversies. Examples could include:
· nanotechnology in manufacturing,
· genetically modified organisms,
· remote/robotic surgery, or
· wireless electricity.
The team will explore the technical, social, cultural, moral and ethical issues presented by the technology.
Guidelines:
Teams
All teams will be assigned at the start of the first week. The first deliverable is due on the Sunday of Week 1, so students must get organized and into the project immediately. Each team will select a Team Leader, who will be responsible for the coordination of the research and the submission of assignments. Team members will remain on the assigned team throughout the duration of the class (in the project world, project managers seldom have the opportunity to select their own team members!). It is highly recommended that each team develop its own Team Contract to clearly define expectations, strategies, and timelines.
Emphasis is placed on both individual contributions and the final product of teams. You will communicate with your team through team meetings (online) and team discussion threads. Team members who fail to participate in an assignment will not get points for that assignment.
With those parts of the Team Project where a group grade will be assigned, all team members must submit a copy of the team’s work. When an assignment is completed, the Team Leader will distribute the finished product to all team members, and each team member must submit this copy to the Dropbox,
The Task
The primary focus of the team is to research and assess the issues associated with a specific emerging technology. The team will produce a formal research paper in APA format, with each team member contributing 10 pages of text. The paper will provide the basis for a 20-minute team presentation.
The following Required Elements must be researched and included in the final project. What follows is a list only, and is in no way an outline:
· A brief description of the technology and an explanation of the associated science
· The historical development and context of the technology
· Political and legal influences
· Economic questions and considerations
· Psychological considerations and sociological effects
· The technology in its cultural context, media influence
· Implications for the environment
· Moral and ethical implications
To properly analyze the various elements of the project, research will cut across disciplines and include academic, scientific and ...

ECO 700 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
As the final stop in your journey toward your Master of Science in Applied Economics, you will complete a final project that will allow you to demonstrate the
knowledge and skills you have gained during your time at SNHU. Over the course of the term, you will immerse yourself in integrating what you have learned in
your coursework and practice to create an authentic demonstration of your abilities as an economist. The final project for this course is an analysis of a
contemporary economic issue relative to a business, policy, or topic of your choice based on your academic area of interest. For instance, general track students
might choose industrial policy, labor economics, international trade, macroeconomic policy, or regulatory economics. For those who are in the Environmental
and Natural Resources concentration, you must choose a topic relative to the field. This analysis will be followed by a presentation and professional reflection of
your journey through the Applied Economics program and how you plan to position yourself professionally. Completion of the analysis, presentation, and
professional reflection components will exemplify your professional identity and represent the skills and abilities you can bring to a potential employer.
This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are three separate components that will be
submitted at different times during the course; however, they all operate together to make up the whole capstone experience and are not assessed separately.
You will be evaluated on all three elements as a unit in determining whether you have achieved proficiency in each outcome. All components must be completed
at the highest level, as the strengths of one cannot compensate for the weaknesses in another. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a
running narrative of your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest
professional standards. Remember, you are selling yourself as much as you are selling your ideas.
In this assessment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following outcomes:
Communicate economic principles, problems, findings, and risk in effective verbal, written, visual, and graphical formats
Integrate appropriate economic theories and principles into the analysis of real-world organizational, social, and political issues
Design and execute sound research studies that effectively and appropriately incorporate quantitative data analysis, econometrics, and other key
economic tools and methods
Incorporate accuracy, precision, and ethical decision making into the analysis and reporting of economic data
Evaluate the impact of a wide variety of internal and external influences on personal, professional, and government.

Having not taken a test like this in quite some time, I was anxious to see how the 10 years in a management role may have affected my results.
The assessment showed I have a blend of both Dominant and Inspiring traits. My Dominant traits are probably a little stronger than my Inspiring traits. Some words that describe me are: Directive, Decisive, Driven and Interactive. I am task-oriented, and probably get a great deal done. I probably like problem solving and getting results. I am comfortable interacting with others to make things happen.
These results describe me to a T. In my former role, I managed a group of 12 people who supported the efforts of a National Accounts sales team for a large packaging company. We supported a sales portfolio of almost $2billion and dealt with multiple priorities and deadlines almost daily.
I come from a very small town mid-westerner background (high school graduating class of 98 -- that's people, not the year), so I can communicate with people from all walks of life. I was the only person in the office who knew the cleaning crew by name, yet the CEO knew mine. My dad was an iron worker and my mom a homemaker, but they owned several small businesses when I was growing up, so I guess I get my business sense from being raised in that type of environment.
I'm intrigued by what makes people "tick" and I think that helps me interact with people with other leadership styles. My style is very direct (obviously), but I have had the most success leading and managing people because I treat people how I want to be treated and I don't expect anyone to do anything I wouldn't do.
My leadership style served me well for 10 years after which time the company I worked for was bought by another company. The new company had different business philosophies, which included all employees being in Atlanta, with less experience, working for less money, so my department and I were laid off.
I am employed again, but not in a management role, and I struggle with the management and leaders as their style is quite different from mine and my prior boss. I have never encountered so many people who are miserable at their job, so I'm anxious to see what I can learn from this course.............jane

What are the implications of your 'change tolerance' for you as a leader? As a follower? How does one become more comfortable with change?
number 2 reply to this based on the above question
On the test, I received a 1.54, which apparently seemed to be the average for the MBA students. I feel that I am actually quite tolerant to change in my current position as a manager. I have to be open to changes on a daily basis because it is a way of life in the corporate environment. As Yukl states, "Relevant competencies identified in more recent research include emotional intelligence, social intelligence, systems thinking, and the ability to learn and adapt to change" (2006, pg. 209). It's important to be able to handle change with acceptance and grace, and try to stay positive. That is how I stay comfortable with change in as a leader and follower, look at it in a way that is positive and feel that I will only grow and learn from the situation. If there were no changes, life would be boring. :) Each day is a new adventure so try to see everything as a good thing even if it seems a bit scary.

How did the media portray the Vietnam War during the 1970's? How did this affect popular youth culture?
number 4
repy to this based on the above question
The television news industry is a business with a profit motive before it is a public service; consequently, producers and reporters attempt to make the news more entertaining by airing stories that involve conflict, human impact, or morality. Television news did not find material that was dramatic enough until the number of American troops was raised to 175, 000 in July 1965 (Hallin, 1986, p.115). Combat, interviews with American soldiers, and helicopter scenes all provided the television news industry with the drama that it required. The networks set up permanent bureaus in Saigon and sent hundreds of correspondents there throughout the war. From 1965 through the Tet Offensive in 1968, 86 percent of the CBS and NBC nightly news programs covered the war, focusing mostly on ground and air combat (Bonior, Champlin, Kolly, 1984, p.4). This coverage was generally very supportive of U.S involvement in the war and of the soldier himself until 1967. The media labeled the conflict as a "good guys shooting Reds" story so that it could fit into the ongoing saga of the Cold War (Wyatt, 1995, p.81).
In the wake of such death and destruction, it isn’t surprising that peace, love and sexual freedom became the mantra of a new generation. The youth movement challenged authority on all fronts, and authority frequently fought back. As the Sixties unfolded, no institution remained untouched, no belief unchallenged. It was a climatic decade. A dashing young president was shot only two brief years a.

Are you a born leader? If yes, provide examples of how you would prove it. If no, where are you short? Are you more comfortable as a leader or a follower? Why?
number 2
reply to this
I am not a born leader. I fall short to the take charge attitude of dominance. I do not have a dominating presence and I tend to shy away from being the center of attention. I would rather be someone's right hand man. I am the Robin to Batman or the Louis Lane to Superman. However, I strive on being a supportive follower that works hard, has a positive attitude, and is the support system for the leader. I have never sight out a leadership position, but I enjoy doing work that carries great importance and helps out the organization.
The readings this week and last week makes me think about the different aspects of my personality and some of the qualities that are considered leadership. According to our readings, "Leadership is realized in the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement" (Yukl, 2006, P.3). Even though a person is not in a direct leadership position or prefers to stay out of the lime light, they can still influence people by their attitudes, work ethic, and loyalty to the company. It does not take a person to be in a leadership position to show leadership qualities.
In conclusion, I am not a born leader, but I show certain qualities that reflect leadership. I would rather be someone's sidekick and help them guide and influence the organization to success. Dominance is not a strength of mine and because of that I find it hard to take charge and be the boss.

When is participative leadership most likely to be effective? When not? Provide an example of when you've seen participative leadership in your experience be effective or ineffective.
number 4 reply to this
Participative leadership involves efforts by a leader to encourage and facilitate participation by others in making important decisions" (Yukl, 2006, p. 82). I think participative leadership is important because it involves an entire team, and it shows the value of others ideas and creates leadership opportunities. I think this type of leadership is most effective when there has been a steady track record of the leader following through with the thoughts of others. When a leader truly wants what is best for the company, and they can see beyond themselves. Participative leadership can effective as well as ineffective.
An effective example of participative leadership would be an employee owned company or volunteer projects. When a company is employee owned, all employees want what is best and so its important to listen to everyone and the leader to do what is best for the company. Another effective example would be volunteer projects such as .

Although you may not be a formal manager, you have opportunities to be a leader, even for a short time, as part of a team or as an individual.
In your current role how do you consider yourself a leader? What leadership theories best fit you as a leader? Which theories best fit you when you are leading and when you are a follower? Are the theories the same at all times? Why or why not?
number 2
reply to this one based on the above question
Right now I am a stay at home mother, so that is currently my leadership role. I am a leader to my son and because I am a parent, I see myself as being strong and authoritative, when it comes to the “leadership role” of being a mother.
I think the leadership theories that best fit me would be:
Situational
and
Transformational
.
I feel as though one of my greatest strengths is being able to adapt to new situations very easily. I can also adapt how I am, to each individual that I am with to best suit what is needed for them to strive at their respective position.
I also like to lead by example and am confident and optimistic in my decisions. When I have a goal that needs to be set, I stand by it and believe the outcome will come with hard work and the right goal setting.
The theory that best fits me as a follower would probably have to be
The Charismatic Leader
. I would like to have a leader that is going to be sympathetic + understanding to problems that occur in the workforce. Having a leader that is willing to make sacrificies for the best of the company and is confident is also very important.
I don’t believe that all of the Theories are the same. I believe that they all have the same basic approach, which is to lead a team, but the strategies behind each Theory is different.

RE: INVITATION FOR A FEEDBACK ON PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR AND STYLE
I hope you are fine and in good health. I am writing this letter to provoke feedback from you concerning my personal behavioral style. I currently undertook a disc assessment so as to know my behaviors. As you may have heard, the assessment categorizes all individuals into four subsets of behavior.
The four subsets are namely: Dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness.
Accordingly, the results implied that I am a person who places emphasis in accomplishing results. The results dictate that my behaviors are: I consist of seeing a big picture. I am blunt. I accept challenges and I get straight to the point. To make the results more reliable, I am requesting you to kindly let me know the kind of a person that I am. Kindly use the descriptive words that are mainly used to describe individuals in, accordance with the Disc assessment.

nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Na.docx
nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, a Nebraska company. In 1990, Enron—which was just a natural gas transportation company at the time—started a new division to trade natural gas. The company went from being a “stodgy” gas pipeline company to being a “world-class” company overnight. Enron soon became a $55 billion empire, trading gas, electricity, minerals, water, paper and broadband capacity.
A critical part of Enron’s success was the company’s employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP focused on Enron as a dealmaker and was designed to attract the top talent the company needed to continue to move it forward. The EVP provided employees with the opportunity to do something “big” and to change how business was done in other industries. Jobs were restructured to give employees a lot of elbow room and headroom. Traditional gas pipeline employees were not the employees needed for this new, never-before-tried venture. Internal job movements at Enron were an important part of the EVP. Managers were strongly encouraged to allow employees to move within the company. The goal was to not hold anyone back. When the Global Broadband unit was launched, 100 top performers from around the company were brought together in Houston. By the end of the day, 50 had been recruited for the new project. Overall, the recruiting strategy focusing on internal recruitment paid off. The business continued to grow and attract entrepreneurial employees.
The company that thought it had nowhere to go but up came crashing down in 2001, when it was charged with illegal activities. By 2004, Enron’s corporate officers faced numerous charges of wrongdoing, and the company was a shell of its former self. Managers were charged with manufacturing profits, hiding debt, and bullying Wall Street to buy into its questionable accounting and investment practices. An extensive amount of downsizing had occurred, and many employees had lost all of their retirement savings after Enron’s stock collapsed. Faced with bankruptcy and a sullied reputation, the company struggled to continue but finally made the decision to cease to exist once all litigation concludes.
At one time, Enron’s recruiting efforts were described as a model for other employers. Enron portrayed itself as an exciting company with lots of growth opportunity—a firm in which employees experienced a great deal of autonomy and responsibility.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1.
Enron did a lot of things right from a recruiting standpoint. Discuss its recruiting strategy and why it worked.
2.
Do you think that Enron’s overall recruitment EVP and strategy played any role in the problems that resulted at Enron? If so, what and how?
3.
Discuss why it’s important to create a recruiting message that’s attractive but that doesn’t “oversell” the company.

Assume that in a few years Enron decides to reconstitute itself in some form. Develop a recruiting strategy that the c.

One of the differences between an S Corp and a partnership for example is that allocations of income are made to shareholders on a per-share per-day basis.
Here is an example for us to work through:
The Bridges Corporation, and S Corporation, is owned equally by three shareholders, Carl, David, and Dale. The corporation is on a calendar year basis. (By the way S Corps must use a calendar year end, unlike C Corps which can choose a fiscal year end.) On February 1, 2013, Dale sold his 1/3 interest to Matt. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the corporation had non-separately stated ordinary income of $120,000.

Nothing in science is written in stone.Whenever new discoveries .docx
- Science is constantly evolving as new discoveries challenge existing hypotheses and theories, forcing scientists to revise their understanding. The cell provides a clear example, with early microscopes revealing cells, and later discoveries finding even smaller structures inside cells.
- Plate tectonics and earthquakes are other areas where scientists have repeatedly refined and revised their views to incorporate new data over thousands of years. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century but it was met with skepticism until further evidence emerged to support it.
- Scientific theories often face skepticism initially but must be proposed to advance understanding, and the scientific method helps evaluate theories through evidence and prevent ideas being dismissed without consideration.

Notes on Hermes I. Hermes and Boundaries A. Hermes’ na.docx
Notes on Hermes
I. Hermes and Boundaries
A. Hermes’ name
1. Greek Hermeias
2. Clearly from herma, cairn (pile of stones that marks a boundary)
3. Makes him god of boundaries
B. Hermes’ various functions
1. All have to do with boundaries in some way
2. A herald (Gr. kerux, which can also be translated “courier” or
“messenger”) crosses boundaries on official business
a) and are unbelievably important in non-literate cultures like
the Archaic Greek culture that gives us almost all of classical
myth, because they would have had to have professional skill at
memorization
b) that skill, in turn, makes them like the bards, which will be
essential understanding the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and also
certain important aspects of the Odyssey
c) and it also gives them a special relation to the truth,
because a herald would have had a really amazing ability to lie
and get away with it
3. The psychopomp (guide of souls) crosses the boundary between
life and death
4. The holder of the kerykeion (later called the caduceus just
through mispronunciation) controls the boundary between sleep and
waking
5. The god of thieves has power over the boundaries around
people’s houses.
II. Hermes the Trickster
A. The figure of the trickster is found in many mythologies: a character
who uses his or her wits to win fame
1. One way to look at the trickster is as a character who controls
and manipulates boundaries: especially the boundary between true and
false
2. On this understanding, Hermes and Odysseus are both tricksters,
because of their travel, their wits, and their lying
B. When Odysseus enters the house of Alkinoos, the Phaiakians are just
pouring the last libation of the day, to Hermes. Why?
1. Because Hermes controls sleep
2. Because Hermes, god of thieves, controls boundaries you want
others to keep away from
3. Because Odysseus is crossing their boundary at this moment!
4. It’s the bard’s way of making the Hermes/Odysseus/trickster
connection
C. Suggested viewing: “The Adventurs of Baron Munchausen” directed
by Terry Gilliam
1. A wonderful version of an 18
th
century story of a trickster, using
movie magic to negotiate the boundaries
III. The Homeric Hymn to Hermes
A. In this hymn, the anonymous bards have created a meditation on the
meaning of the trickster hero, and his relation to kleos, epic glory
1. Hermes has a problem, because he’s been born far from Olympus
2. But as the child of Zeus and Maia, he should be an Olympian
3. He’s a god of tricks, and of the dark, but that’s not what
Olympus is about
4. and Apollo is the best example: Apollo is himself, as the god of
music and of the lyre, the god of kleos
B. The master-stroke is probably having Hermes invent the lyre
1. Which is highly analogous to having Odysseus take over the telling
of his story
2. and shows that some of the bards, at least, recognized that they
were pretty much jus.

Having not taken a test like this in quite some time, I was anxious to see how the 10 years in a management role may have affected my results.
The assessment showed I have a blend of both Dominant and Inspiring traits. My Dominant traits are probably a little stronger than my Inspiring traits. Some words that describe me are: Directive, Decisive, Driven and Interactive. I am task-oriented, and probably get a great deal done. I probably like problem solving and getting results. I am comfortable interacting with others to make things happen.
These results describe me to a T. In my former role, I managed a group of 12 people who supported the efforts of a National Accounts sales team for a large packaging company. We supported a sales portfolio of almost $2billion and dealt with multiple priorities and deadlines almost daily.
I come from a very small town mid-westerner background (high school graduating class of 98 -- that's people, not the year), so I can communicate with people from all walks of life. I was the only person in the office who knew the cleaning crew by name, yet the CEO knew mine. My dad was an iron worker and my mom a homemaker, but they owned several small businesses when I was growing up, so I guess I get my business sense from being raised in that type of environment.
I'm intrigued by what makes people "tick" and I think that helps me interact with people with other leadership styles. My style is very direct (obviously), but I have had the most success leading and managing people because I treat people how I want to be treated and I don't expect anyone to do anything I wouldn't do.
My leadership style served me well for 10 years after which time the company I worked for was bought by another company. The new company had different business philosophies, which included all employees being in Atlanta, with less experience, working for less money, so my department and I were laid off.
I am employed again, but not in a management role, and I struggle with the management and leaders as their style is quite different from mine and my prior boss. I have never encountered so many people who are miserable at their job, so I'm anxious to see what I can learn from this course.............jane

number 2 reply to this based on the above question
On the test, I received a 1.54, which apparently seemed to be the average for the MBA students. I feel that I am actually quite tolerant to change in my current position as a manager. I have to be open to changes on a daily basis because it is a way of life in the corporate environment. As Yukl states, "Relevant competencies identified in more recent research include emotional intelligence, social intelligence, systems thinking, and the ability to learn and adapt to change" (2006, pg. 209). It's important to be able to handle change with acceptance and grace, and try to stay positive. That is how I stay comfortable with change in as a leader and follower, look at it in a way that is positive and feel that I will only grow and learn from the situation. If there were no changes, life would be boring. :) Each day is a new adventure so try to see everything as a good thing even if it seems a bit scary.

How did the media portray the Vietnam War during the 1970's? How did this affect popular youth culture?
number 4
repy to this based on the above question
The television news industry is a business with a profit motive before it is a public service; consequently, producers and reporters attempt to make the news more entertaining by airing stories that involve conflict, human impact, or morality. Television news did not find material that was dramatic enough until the number of American troops was raised to 175, 000 in July 1965 (Hallin, 1986, p.115). Combat, interviews with American soldiers, and helicopter scenes all provided the television news industry with the drama that it required. The networks set up permanent bureaus in Saigon and sent hundreds of correspondents there throughout the war. From 1965 through the Tet Offensive in 1968, 86 percent of the CBS and NBC nightly news programs covered the war, focusing mostly on ground and air combat (Bonior, Champlin, Kolly, 1984, p.4). This coverage was generally very supportive of U.S involvement in the war and of the soldier himself until 1967. The media labeled the conflict as a "good guys shooting Reds" story so that it could fit into the ongoing saga of the Cold War (Wyatt, 1995, p.81).
In the wake of such death and destruction, it isn’t surprising that peace, love and sexual freedom became the mantra of a new generation. The youth movement challenged authority on all fronts, and authority frequently fought back. As the Sixties unfolded, no institution remained untouched, no belief unchallenged. It was a climatic decade. A dashing young president was shot only two brief years a.

Are you a born leader? If yes, provide examples of how you would prove it. If no, where are you short? Are you more comfortable as a leader or a follower? Why?
number 2
reply to this
I am not a born leader. I fall short to the take charge attitude of dominance. I do not have a dominating presence and I tend to shy away from being the center of attention. I would rather be someone's right hand man. I am the Robin to Batman or the Louis Lane to Superman. However, I strive on being a supportive follower that works hard, has a positive attitude, and is the support system for the leader. I have never sight out a leadership position, but I enjoy doing work that carries great importance and helps out the organization.
The readings this week and last week makes me think about the different aspects of my personality and some of the qualities that are considered leadership. According to our readings, "Leadership is realized in the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal achievement" (Yukl, 2006, P.3). Even though a person is not in a direct leadership position or prefers to stay out of the lime light, they can still influence people by their attitudes, work ethic, and loyalty to the company. It does not take a person to be in a leadership position to show leadership qualities.
In conclusion, I am not a born leader, but I show certain qualities that reflect leadership. I would rather be someone's sidekick and help them guide and influence the organization to success. Dominance is not a strength of mine and because of that I find it hard to take charge and be the boss.

number 4 reply to this
Participative leadership involves efforts by a leader to encourage and facilitate participation by others in making important decisions" (Yukl, 2006, p. 82). I think participative leadership is important because it involves an entire team, and it shows the value of others ideas and creates leadership opportunities. I think this type of leadership is most effective when there has been a steady track record of the leader following through with the thoughts of others. When a leader truly wants what is best for the company, and they can see beyond themselves. Participative leadership can effective as well as ineffective.
An effective example of participative leadership would be an employee owned company or volunteer projects. When a company is employee owned, all employees want what is best and so its important to listen to everyone and the leader to do what is best for the company. Another effective example would be volunteer projects such as .

number 2
reply to this one based on the above question
Right now I am a stay at home mother, so that is currently my leadership role. I am a leader to my son and because I am a parent, I see myself as being strong and authoritative, when it comes to the “leadership role” of being a mother.
I think the leadership theories that best fit me would be:
Situational
and
Transformational
.
I feel as though one of my greatest strengths is being able to adapt to new situations very easily. I can also adapt how I am, to each individual that I am with to best suit what is needed for them to strive at their respective position.
I also like to lead by example and am confident and optimistic in my decisions. When I have a goal that needs to be set, I stand by it and believe the outcome will come with hard work and the right goal setting.
The theory that best fits me as a follower would probably have to be
The Charismatic Leader
. I would like to have a leader that is going to be sympathetic + understanding to problems that occur in the workforce. Having a leader that is willing to make sacrificies for the best of the company and is confident is also very important.
I don’t believe that all of the Theories are the same. I believe that they all have the same basic approach, which is to lead a team, but the strategies behind each Theory is different.

RE: INVITATION FOR A FEEDBACK ON PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR AND STYLE
I hope you are fine and in good health. I am writing this letter to provoke feedback from you concerning my personal behavioral style. I currently undertook a disc assessment so as to know my behaviors. As you may have heard, the assessment categorizes all individuals into four subsets of behavior.
The four subsets are namely: Dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness.
Accordingly, the results implied that I am a person who places emphasis in accomplishing results. The results dictate that my behaviors are: I consist of seeing a big picture. I am blunt. I accept challenges and I get straight to the point. To make the results more reliable, I am requesting you to kindly let me know the kind of a person that I am. Kindly use the descriptive words that are mainly used to describe individuals in, accordance with the Disc assessment.

nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Na.docx
nron Corporation was launched in 1985, with the merger of Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, a Nebraska company. In 1990, Enron—which was just a natural gas transportation company at the time—started a new division to trade natural gas. The company went from being a “stodgy” gas pipeline company to being a “world-class” company overnight. Enron soon became a $55 billion empire, trading gas, electricity, minerals, water, paper and broadband capacity.
A critical part of Enron’s success was the company’s employee value proposition (EVP). The EVP focused on Enron as a dealmaker and was designed to attract the top talent the company needed to continue to move it forward. The EVP provided employees with the opportunity to do something “big” and to change how business was done in other industries. Jobs were restructured to give employees a lot of elbow room and headroom. Traditional gas pipeline employees were not the employees needed for this new, never-before-tried venture. Internal job movements at Enron were an important part of the EVP. Managers were strongly encouraged to allow employees to move within the company. The goal was to not hold anyone back. When the Global Broadband unit was launched, 100 top performers from around the company were brought together in Houston. By the end of the day, 50 had been recruited for the new project. Overall, the recruiting strategy focusing on internal recruitment paid off. The business continued to grow and attract entrepreneurial employees.
The company that thought it had nowhere to go but up came crashing down in 2001, when it was charged with illegal activities. By 2004, Enron’s corporate officers faced numerous charges of wrongdoing, and the company was a shell of its former self. Managers were charged with manufacturing profits, hiding debt, and bullying Wall Street to buy into its questionable accounting and investment practices. An extensive amount of downsizing had occurred, and many employees had lost all of their retirement savings after Enron’s stock collapsed. Faced with bankruptcy and a sullied reputation, the company struggled to continue but finally made the decision to cease to exist once all litigation concludes.
At one time, Enron’s recruiting efforts were described as a model for other employers. Enron portrayed itself as an exciting company with lots of growth opportunity—a firm in which employees experienced a great deal of autonomy and responsibility.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1.
Enron did a lot of things right from a recruiting standpoint. Discuss its recruiting strategy and why it worked.
2.
Do you think that Enron’s overall recruitment EVP and strategy played any role in the problems that resulted at Enron? If so, what and how?
3.
Discuss why it’s important to create a recruiting message that’s attractive but that doesn’t “oversell” the company.

Assume that in a few years Enron decides to reconstitute itself in some form. Develop a recruiting strategy that the c.

One of the differences between an S Corp and a partnership for example is that allocations of income are made to shareholders on a per-share per-day basis.
Here is an example for us to work through:
The Bridges Corporation, and S Corporation, is owned equally by three shareholders, Carl, David, and Dale. The corporation is on a calendar year basis. (By the way S Corps must use a calendar year end, unlike C Corps which can choose a fiscal year end.) On February 1, 2013, Dale sold his 1/3 interest to Matt. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the corporation had non-separately stated ordinary income of $120,000.

Nothing in science is written in stone.Whenever new discoveries .docx
- Science is constantly evolving as new discoveries challenge existing hypotheses and theories, forcing scientists to revise their understanding. The cell provides a clear example, with early microscopes revealing cells, and later discoveries finding even smaller structures inside cells.
- Plate tectonics and earthquakes are other areas where scientists have repeatedly refined and revised their views to incorporate new data over thousands of years. Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century but it was met with skepticism until further evidence emerged to support it.
- Scientific theories often face skepticism initially but must be proposed to advance understanding, and the scientific method helps evaluate theories through evidence and prevent ideas being dismissed without consideration.

Notes on Hermes I. Hermes and Boundaries A. Hermes’ na.docx
Notes on Hermes
I. Hermes and Boundaries
A. Hermes’ name
1. Greek Hermeias
2. Clearly from herma, cairn (pile of stones that marks a boundary)
3. Makes him god of boundaries
B. Hermes’ various functions
1. All have to do with boundaries in some way
2. A herald (Gr. kerux, which can also be translated “courier” or
“messenger”) crosses boundaries on official business
a) and are unbelievably important in non-literate cultures like
the Archaic Greek culture that gives us almost all of classical
myth, because they would have had to have professional skill at
memorization
b) that skill, in turn, makes them like the bards, which will be
essential understanding the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and also
certain important aspects of the Odyssey
c) and it also gives them a special relation to the truth,
because a herald would have had a really amazing ability to lie
and get away with it
3. The psychopomp (guide of souls) crosses the boundary between
life and death
4. The holder of the kerykeion (later called the caduceus just
through mispronunciation) controls the boundary between sleep and
waking
5. The god of thieves has power over the boundaries around
people’s houses.
II. Hermes the Trickster
A. The figure of the trickster is found in many mythologies: a character
who uses his or her wits to win fame
1. One way to look at the trickster is as a character who controls
and manipulates boundaries: especially the boundary between true and
false
2. On this understanding, Hermes and Odysseus are both tricksters,
because of their travel, their wits, and their lying
B. When Odysseus enters the house of Alkinoos, the Phaiakians are just
pouring the last libation of the day, to Hermes. Why?
1. Because Hermes controls sleep
2. Because Hermes, god of thieves, controls boundaries you want
others to keep away from
3. Because Odysseus is crossing their boundary at this moment!
4. It’s the bard’s way of making the Hermes/Odysseus/trickster
connection
C. Suggested viewing: “The Adventurs of Baron Munchausen” directed
by Terry Gilliam
1. A wonderful version of an 18
th
century story of a trickster, using
movie magic to negotiate the boundaries
III. The Homeric Hymn to Hermes
A. In this hymn, the anonymous bards have created a meditation on the
meaning of the trickster hero, and his relation to kleos, epic glory
1. Hermes has a problem, because he’s been born far from Olympus
2. But as the child of Zeus and Maia, he should be an Olympian
3. He’s a god of tricks, and of the dark, but that’s not what
Olympus is about
4. and Apollo is the best example: Apollo is himself, as the god of

Not a day goes by without a news story on an issue affecting the wor.docx
- 1. Not a day goes by without a news story on an issue affecting the workplace. Examples range from the termination of a high- profile executive to the passing of new legislation. For this assignment, students are required to work in teams to develop a short presentation analyzing a current event relevant to employment law . The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate an understanding of the course content as well as an ability to apply this knowledge to the analysis of a current event. The article, which can be sourced in a newspaper, business report, business magazine, or authoritative website must pertain to one or more topics covered in the second half of the class, after the midterm test. In a maximum of ten minutes , students are required to: Summarize the article (include all necessary background information); Identify, discuss and analyze the main issue covered in the article, making links to all relevant secondary issues and concepts; and Comment on the actions taken by the parties (e.g., the employer, the employee, government, etc.). Presentations should be supported by some form of a visual aid (e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint slides or a poster board display) and should have a proper introduction and conclusion. Teams must contact the professor by the end of week two to confirm the appropriateness of your topic selection.
- 2. Teams are required to complete, sign, and return to the professor a team contract, maintain a team log, and submit peer evaluations at the time of the presentation. Students whose choice of issues demonstrates creativity and a deep understanding of the selected topic will score well. See the scoring rubric for further information on how this presentation will be marked.
