This document discusses Generation Z's views on sustainability and the role of businesses. It finds that over 60% of Gen Z will prioritize buying from and working for companies that help make the world better. Additionally, over half of Gen Z agrees that businesses have a responsibility to create a better world and should integrate sustainability into their core operations rather than just donate to charity. The findings suggest Gen Z expects companies to consider social and environmental impacts in their business models.
The document discusses the psychology of influence and leadership. It introduces six influence principles: reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity. It provides contact information for Mark Deutsch, the author, and recommends further reading on influence from Robert Cialdini.
Leadership comes in many forms and not one size ever fits all. It is more common that several sizes fit one person. What I mean by that is that a successful leader will have many different styles to use for differing situations. In this presentation the participants will leave with an understanding of many leadership styles and will have the ability to select which works best for them in which situation and with which type of employee.
Visionary leadership and influence in the context of Emotional IntelligenceShubham Singhal
The document discusses visionary leadership and its relationship to emotional intelligence. It defines visionary leadership as the ability to create and articulate an attractive vision of the future that improves the present situation. It outlines advantages of visionary leadership such as inspiring people and empowering them. It then discusses principles of visionary leadership and different leadership styles related to emotional intelligence. Finally, it explores the relationship between emotional intelligence and visionary leadership, finding a moderate connection between visionary leadership and employee organizational citizenship behavior.
The document outlines three emerging approaches to leadership: strategic leadership which involves thoroughly understanding an organization and its environment to improve alignment over time; cross-cultural leadership which requires adapting one's leadership style to cultural differences when working overseas; and ethical leadership where managers maintain high ethical standards for their own conduct and ensure others in the organization follow suit.
The situational leadership model proposes that leaders should match their style to the competence and commitment levels of their subordinates. It describes four leadership styles along two dimensions: directive (task-focused) behavior and supportive (relationship-focused) behavior. The optimal style depends on where subordinates fall in terms of their development levels. The model advises leaders to first diagnose the development level of subordinates and then adapt their style accordingly. While it is practically applied, the situational leadership model lacks empirical validation and does not account for all relevant factors like demographics.

THE POWER OF INFLUENCE: LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY LEADERTom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
This document provides a summary of a leadership conference presentation on strategies for extraordinary leaders. The presentation was given by Tom Hood, CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs Business Learning Institute, at the 2010 IGAF Worldwide Women's Leadership Conference on CPA Island in Second Life. The presentation focused on the five qualities of extraordinary leaders: sight, insight, create, communicate, and inspire. It also provided a toolkit and practice exercises for developing these leadership qualities using the Insight to Action strategic thinking system.
This document discusses various theories and models of leadership. It describes leadership as a process of non-coercive influence used to shape organizational goals and motivate behavior. Several leadership styles and theories are examined, including trait-based approaches, situational leadership theories, and those focused on leader-member relationships like LMX. Transformational leadership is defined as going beyond expectations to inspire new ways of thinking. Political behavior in organizations and impression management are also briefly covered.
The document summarizes the style approach to leadership. The style approach focuses on two dimensions of leadership behavior: concern for tasks and concern for people. Researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Michigan developed the leadership grid that plots these two dimensions and identifies five common leadership styles within the grid. The styles range from an emphasis on tasks with little concern for people to an emphasis on interpersonal relationships with little concern for tasks. The style approach provides a framework for assessing broad leadership behaviors but has weaknesses in implying one high-high style is most effective and not addressing leadership development.
This document discusses various aspects of leadership including defining leadership as inspiring others through knowledge, skills, experience and guidance to achieve goals. It outlines that effective leadership requires knowledge in your field and knowing how to find resources, communication skills, and learning something new each day. Leaders should develop skills like listening, communication, goal setting, planning, problem solving and evaluation. Experience is gained through learning from others, mistakes, and sharing lessons learned. Guidance involves leading by example, motivating others, setting goals and plans, and providing counseling. The key to leadership is influence over others and maintaining cooperation through respect, integrity and accountability. There are different types of leadership defined by the group's focus and the leader's style.
Convincing the bear - Influence without authority
After hiking towards a glacier in Denali National Park Alaska, we were making camp near a small lake. Suddenly I heard my friend saying “Michael there’s a bear here, it is on this side of the lake”. And there he was, a ‘young’ 200 Pound Grizzly no more than 10 feet away… Influencing a bear in the Alaskan outback is quite similar to handling the bears or rather stakeholders of the modern organization – both have their own agenda, and will have you for lunch if they think it serves their interests and appetites.
In this presentation we learn best practices for leading and influencing without authority, including the three essentials model: stakeholder leadership, team orientation and individual adjustment. Do you have the proper toolset to influence the bears when you lack the authority?
After Michael’s presentation you will be able to:
• Use your personal power to lead and influence without authority
• Align your leadership with the team situation
• Make individual adjustments to influence through difficult project and business situations

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY 2
Intellectual Property
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
The fight over intellectual property isn’t a new idea or concept that’s mutually exclusive to Samsung and Apple. It has actually been going on for many years. Ever since the days of the first automobile or airplane creators have been trying to protect what they feel is their intellectual property. Lucky for the consumer the first inventors of the airplane weren’t going to be the only individuals able to produce it. Similarly, the first creator of the mobile phone isn’t going to be the only person able to make a phone. Once an idea is first sparked and it catches fire; like the automobile, airplane, or cell phones. Companies are able to take an idea and improve on it. It’s hard not to blame the creator of the “thing.” They feel as though they have exclusive rights to this ground breaking invention. They had the vision and the foresight to see a need and exploit it. However, just like the first automobile of yesterday isn’t made the same as today, cell phones have rapidly changed in their functionality.
The debate between Samsung and Apple is about whether or not Samsung stole Apple’s ideas. To what extent does Apple’s patent on their phone extend? They clearly came up with the modern day cell phone layout, which has been to some extent copied by Samsung. Although Samsung used Apples model, it’s not completely the same. It’s easy to see why Apple creators are upset that their model has been used to sell phones for another company, but it’s so hard to fight it in court. Samsung can point out numerous ways in which theirs is different, but there’s no doubt they were inspired by Apples design. Intellectual property needs to be protected. However, it is extremely difficult to protect. Patents are able to be protected when they are very specific in nature. Apples patent is specific, but also able to be tweaked and changed. Sure Samsung can’t create the Iphone because its illegal, but they can create on that’s similar. Apples grea.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.
From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

7. Businesses large and small
possess the potential to have a
dynamic and influential impact
and influence
on their customers, their
community, their industry… the
world.
(Think Apple!)
8. What impact do you want to have?
How do you want to influence your world?
9. Because you are
orchestrating a complex
web of relationships that
we call a business
you have the power to
choose the type of impact
and influence you want to
have
10. On customers, employees, vendors, suppliers,
investors, friends and family of these
customers, employees… everyone who is
touched by your business.
11. As Peter Parker’s uncle says in the movie
Spiderman, “With great power comes
great responsibility.”
12. Your business can serve as a
platform and a wellspring for good.
It’s up to you what that will look like,
but the fact is you do influence the
people you relate to in the course of
running your business.
The potential for shaping and affecting
the lives of hundreds or even
thousands is incredibly vast.
