actualizing people? Why are these characteristics important?
The characteristics of self-actualizing people according to
Maslow these people have realistic perceptions of themselves,
others and the world around them. Accepting themselves and
other for who they are. They are concern with solving problems
outside of thenselves, including helping others and finding
solutions to problems in the external world. These people are
often motivated by a sense of personal responsibility and ethics.

3. terms of life’s meanings.
2. What are the strengths of the humanistic theories in regard to
their explanation of personality?

stresses personal choice and responsibility. It also justifies
people idea of what being human means because it values
personal ideals and fulfillment. Also it provides researchers
with a flexible outline for observing the behavior of humans
considering a person in the contex of environment also with
personal perceptions and feelings.
3. What are the limitations of the humanistic theories in regard
to their explanation of personality?
One major limitation of humanistic theory is that its concepts
are too vague. Critics argue that subjective ideas such as
authentic and real experirnces are difficult to objectify, an
experience that is real for one individual may not be the same
for someone else. This is the reason why the critics believe that
conclusions drawn from subjective experiences are almost
impossible to verify.
4. What are the strengths and limitations of May’s existential
theory in regard to their explanation of personality?
One Strength of existential theraphy is the ability to enable
patients to look at the degree to which their behavior is
influenced by their families, culture, and social environment. It
the individual personal needs can’t be meet or their goals can
not be attained they may experience frustration, anxiety, or
depression. One of the limitations of existential therapy in
thearea of multicultural populationa is that they are excessively
individualistic and ignores the social factors that causes human
problems.

Scenario:
An emergency meeting was called in London by John Smythe
Heathering, the Executive Director of Corporate Services, when
the 2015 numbers came out for the business. Sales dropped 7%
overall in a quarterly downward spiral with the largest portion
of decline having been in the American division at 3.8%. The
move to “Business First” in America prevented the loss from

6. being as great as 6.5%. This change helped but not enough to
overcome the full 6.5%. The competition continues to make
inroads into the business not just in America but Asia as well.
The purpose of the emergency meeting is to discuss the decline
in sales and make whatever decisions necessary to reverse the
trend with immediate implementation. The question before the
group is how do we reverse the downward trend? A competitive
edge is necessary. As 21st century leaders, the Executive
Directors realize that five challenges have to be examined if
they are to find ways keep the company running at a profit.
Further, they know that as company leaders they will have to
lead the change required to make the recommendations work.
In the emergency meeting, the Directors decided that they
needed professional help. They turn to you, a leadership
consultant to help them discover ways in which they can
improve sales of the company and set the company up for long
term financial health.
Required Elements for Assignment 3:

· Explains each leadership challenge facing the 21st century
