MODULE 1 CASE ASSIGNMENT
Managing Individual Behavior
Assignment Overview
The cases in this class follow an experiential approach. This means you will reflect on your own experience in an organization and then apply the concepts from the module materials to
think critically
about these experiences and understand them better. The structure of the course and the assignments follow Kolb’s model of the adult learning process, which is discussed on the
Module 1 Home page
. [If you skipped the Module 1--Home page, you should read it now before you attempt to go any further.]
Case Assignment
Think about an experience you have had where you felt extremely motivated. Then, in a 4- to 6-page paper, analyze this experience according to the Kolb format below. Each subtitle represents a different section of the paper. You can use the subtitles as headings.
Introduction:
Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper.
Concrete Experience:
Begin with a specific situation/event. Describe the experience where you felt extremely motivated. Be objective and focus on just the facts: who, what, where, when, and how – similar to how a newspaper article is written -- as if you were composing a newspaper article.
Reflective Observation:
Reflect upon that experience from the multiple perspectives of other people involved or affected in the experience. Step back from the situation, look at the experience from your own viewpoint,
and
the viewpoints of all other parties involved or affected. You want to look at the circumstances surrounding the experience from every relevant perspective. Why was the experience motivating to you? What did others do that increased your motivation? Was the situation (or would the situation) also be motivating to others? (Note: Your discussion of theories and models from your module materials belongs in the following section.)
Abstract Conceptualization:
Use critical thinking skills in order to understand and interpret the experience at a deeper, more generalizable level. Interpret and understand the events you have described by drawing on the concepts, theories, and models in the background material from this module. What behavior patterns can you identify in yourself and others that are similar to the ones described in the material on motivation, values, and/or goals? How do these concepts and principles explain
why
you were motivated? What general principles of motivation can you derive from this analysis? Be sure to cite all references to concepts, ideas, and quotes you use that come from any outside source. Be sure to apply
at least
three concepts, theories, and/or models and cite all references to concepts, ideas, and/or quotes that you use from any outside source.
[This Abstract Conceptualization section is the “heart” of your paper. Using critical thinking skills, provide a clear, specific discussion on the logic, theo ...

Assessment item 3 - Critical Reflective Blogs
Value: 45%
Length: 700 words per blog (maximum)
Total: 2800 words
TASK
The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.
In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:
• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational
culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing
A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.
For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

Faculty comments:“
Your 'objective' are really job golas
Think of it this way:
After training what should the trainees know or be able to do?
For example - training to build a wooden picnic table'
After training trainees will know the 6 types of lumber they need to secure to build the table.
After training trainees will be able to demonstrate how to cut the proper angles to complete the leg assembly.
A specific objective of the training program must be measureable and must be something that is attained during the training program and not something that occurs at work after the program. For example in a safety training program after training employees may know the 4 places where hard hats are required to be worn. That is the training program objective - the work goal is fewer injuries due to not wearing a hard hat.
As a good guide most programs should have between 3-5 specific objectives

The company had a long history of promoting leadership development and had recently become concerned about building a cadre of “change-agent” leaders capable of coping with the accelerating pace of innovation in the industry. Two professors from a leading business school, experts in leadership, were called in to design a program around the leadership competencies required to effect organizational change. Together the professors and company sponsors produced and delivered a four-day learning experience structured around three distinct modules: the leader’s role in change, skills for implementing change, and motivational and empowerment practices.
At the start of day one, participants received survey feedback from a dozen of their workplace colleagues (superiors, peers, and subordinates). This feedback was structured so that the competency categories that were reported corresponded with each of the course’s three themes. This ensured that participants could personally gauge their strengths and weaknesses against the competencies described in the modules about to be taught. It was assumed that feedback early in the course would stimulate the participants’ desire to learn.
Following this feedback and a personal review session with an onsite coach, the program began with a module on leadership vision and change. Using a series of case studies from companies such as General Electric, Microsoft, and the Virgin Group, participants learned lessons about core leadership concepts such as strategic vision, unconventional market perspectives, and environmental scanning for opportunities. During course discussions, the professors encouraged participants to share their own experiences. This created dialogue that allowed the core concepts to be applied to the individuals’ own leadership challenges and personal work situations.
A second module was presented in days two and three that emphasized skills required for implementing change. Another series of case studies illustrated how effective leaders at several companies had successfully orchestrated large-scale organizational change. For example, participants explored the successful turnaround of the international advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather by its senior leader Charlotte Beers. This case study taught lessons about the process of developing a strategic vision and ways to implement the vision once it was defined. Experiential exercises were used to teach communications and influence skills. A portion of day three and all of day four explored the remaining themes of motivation and empowerment—again using experiential exercises and case discussions as the principal vehicles for conveying lessons and insight. Participants learned about the personal philosophies that leaders often draw on in their efforts to empower others, and about the importance of lea.

Context
A key to self-directed learning is reflection. Reflection enables the ability to examine
situations in order to better understand the surrounding context and identify potential
improvements for the future. This assessment aims to develop your awareness and
reflective learning ability while also assessing your understanding of the topics covered in
modules 1 and 2.
Reflective writing ordinarily occurs in the first person (and you can do so here) and works
best when you think deeply about a topic and look at both the positives as well as
opportunities to improve in a situation. Examples within the context of this assessment
might be:

Module 1 - SLPManaging Individual BehaviorThe SLP for this c.docx
Module 1 - SLP
Managing Individual Behavior
The SLP for this course involves making a personal assessment of a relevant set of skills, focusing on your strengths and identifying any weaknesses that may have been revealed. You will then be asked to create a plan by which you can "grow" your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. By the end of the project, you will have a personal management profile and action plan.
As we have discussed, your values and attitudes interact with your personality to create a strong effect on your work life. The fit between an individual's personality and a company's "style" is essential to job satisfaction. Someone who is risk-averse, for example, would probably be unhappy at 3M, a company with a reputation for innovation and risk-taking. Understanding the impact of your own personality on others helps you build productive work relationships with peers, subordinates, and bosses, alike.
Refer to the required and optional readings for this module, and any other readings which will help you in understanding personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness. Remember to follow Trident’s guidelines for masters-level writing. (See

BA300 Manager Interview Assignment
This is a research paper, so you need to approach it as just that. The point of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can complete research, and connect that research to the class material. In doing this, you will show that you understand and can explain the class material through the research. The research in this assignment is the information that you collect from the interview and shadowing experiences.
Complete the following steps to complete this project:
Step 1: Choose an interview and shadowing subject – This should be a person that:
1. Is currently a manager with employees that they manage,
2. You have access to for both the interview and shadowing, and
3. Agrees to allow you to interview and shadow them.
If you need a letter from the professor to gain their approval, please request one from the professor.
Step 2: Conduct your interview - Use the questions listed below for conducting your Manager Interview. You’ll want to take notes and, if possible, audio record the interview for use when you’re preparing your paper.
Step 3: Shadow your interviewee – spend at least 4 or more hours following the manager through their daily routine. Make notes during this time that focus on what the manager may or may not be doing well based on your opinion and the material from the class.
Step 4: After conducting your interview – prepare a 5-7-page paper that reports your findings from the interview. Think of the interview and shadowing as a primary source (like a book or research journal) to use to write your paper. You MUST clearly cover the following five points:
a. Summarize the manager’s responses to the questions.
b. Evaluate and compare the manager’s responses compared to textbook and lecture discussions.
c. What advice might you give to the manager in order to improve his/her performance?
d. What information most surprised you from the interview and was most useful to you?
e. Use the interview to identify lessons for doing management that you would keep in mind if you held a managerial position.
TIPS FOR WRITING YOUR PAPER:
DO:
DON’T:
1. Use subtopic titles to identify main topics or sections of the paper.
2. Use direct quotes from the interview/shadowing to emphasize and connect ideas, and to show that you completed both.
3. Make direct connections between the class topics and things identified in the interview/shadowing.
4. Use correct English words and grammar in your paper to make this a credible research paper.
5. Use correct paragraph structure, meaning that all sentences in a paragraph should support a topic sentence. If a sentence doesn’t support the topic sentence, that means that another paragraph is needed with a different topic sentence or the sentence should be deleted.
1. Write in the first person by using I, me, my, etc. This is a research paper, it’s about the interviewee and not about you.
2. Inject bias into your paper and make the research less credible by establishing a .

ESSAY CHOICE 1Develop a communication strategy to resolve confli.docx
ESSAY CHOICE 1
Develop a communication strategy to resolve conflict in the work environment.
One of the key challenges for managers is to find adaptive communication strategies that create an open, enabling work culture. Management have asked you to develop a communication strategy to improve staff morale following a meeting highlighting entrenched conflict in the workplace. Management is supportive of positive resolution and reluctant to lose staff members.
Management perceive that the conflict is the result of:
· discrimination issues due to diverse workplace
· harassment / bullying issues
· power issues.
The critical analysis of the work environment and the resultant communication strategy will demonstrate your understanding of:
· structural issues (mechanistic or organic structure or a hybrid of both)
· cultural ethos of the organisation (receptivity of management, acceptance of diversity, openness to innovation)
· characteristics of prevailing work culture of the organisation (e.g. embracive work culture and adaptivity of management)
· work relationship issues such as interpersonal and group communication
· ethical and legal best practice.
Select an organisation that you thoroughly investigated (minimum of twenty staff). This might be an organisation where you have worked. However, this organisation must be large enough and sufficiently complex to sustain a detailed analysis of these important conflict issues.
However, focus only on those elements that are most appropriate to the development of a communication strategy to improve staff morale.
At least six scholarly sources must be submitted. Referencing should be in either the Harvard or APA referencing system.
There is an excellent guide to referencing styles available through the Griffith University library website. Further guidelines and Criteria Sheet are available through the unit website.
Essays should be double spaced (or at least 1.5 minimum) using 12pt Times or the equivalent (eg. 11pt Arial) and presented as doc or docx files.
Always attach a completed Assignment Cover Sheet, available through the Assessment information on the course website.

Introduction:
The process of experiential learning requires an intern/extern to put the knowledge,
skills, abilities, and behaviors learned in a formal educational setting, into practice. This
is called putting "Theory to Practice." In the courses you completed throughout your
degree plan, you learned many theories and concepts and attained knowledge, skills,
abilities, and behaviors at various levels of rigor. Now, it is time for you to put what you
know and can do into action for your intern/externship employer. Upon application of the
theoretical and conceptual knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors, you will return to
the academic setting to reflect on your experiences, thoughts, ideas, observations,
emotions, etc. by putting "Practice to Theory". Your ability to put "Theory to Practice"
and "Practice to Theory" is the essence of your experiential learning journey here at
Kaplan University. The two-steps in the process of experiential learning are described
as follows:
1. Theory to Practice: This is the process of practically applying learned knowledge,
skills, abilities, and behaviors in a real world setting. As stated by Dunmade (2013),
theories are verified empirical truths that may be used in application, by practitioners, as
a point of reference when making decisions and thinking critically about a topic.
Throughout your experiential learning journey, you will put theory to practice while
working for your intern/externship employer. However, as part of the learning process, it
is also important to reflect on your experiences in applying theory to practice. This
learning process is called going from "practice to theory."
2. Practice to Theory: This is the process of academically reflecting on experiences
related to the application of knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors in connection with
research. From an academic standpoint, the process of applying knowledge, skills,
abilities, and behaviors in a real world setting is not complete without
the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of your experiences in connection with viable
research sources. In this reflective exercise, interns/externs are expected to
analyze, synthesize, and evaluate practical experiences with research sources found
within the Kaplan University library, textbooks, or other sources deemed acceptable. A
best practice would be to connect your experiences with research in consideration of
the topics.

A TYPICAL DESIGNTo illustrate a program focused on individual de.docx
A TYPICAL DESIGN
To illustrate a program focused on individual development, we use the example of a leadership course designed for a manufacturing company. The company had a long history of promoting leadership development and had recently become concerned about building a cadre of “change-agent” leaders capable of coping with the accelerating pace of innovation in the industry. Two professors from a leading business school, experts in leadership, were called in to design a program around the leadership competencies required to effect organizational change. Together the professors and company sponsors produced and delivered a four-day learning experience structured around three distinct modules: the leader’s role in change, skills for implementing change, and motivational and empowerment practices.
At the start of day one, participants received survey feedback from a dozen of their workplace colleagues (superiors, peers, and subordinates). This feedback was structured so that the competency categories that were reported corresponded with each of the course’s three themes. This ensured that participants could personally gauge their strengths and weaknesses against the competencies described in the modules about to be taught. It was assumed that feedback early in the course would stimulate the participants’ desire to learn.
Following this feedback and a personal review session with an onsite coach, the program began with a module on leadership vision and change. Using a series of case studies from companies such as General Electric, Microsoft, and the Virgin Group, participants learned lessons about core leadership concepts such as strategic vision, unconventional market perspectives, and environmental scanning for opportunities. During course discussions, the professors encouraged participants to share their own experiences. This created dialogue that allowed the core concepts to be applied to the individuals’ own leadership challenges and personal work situations.
A second module was presented in days two and three that emphasized skills required for implementing change. Another series of case studies illustrated how effective leaders at several companies had successfully orchestrated large-scale organizational change. For example, participants explored the successful turnaround of the international advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather by its senior leader Charlotte Beers. This case study taught lessons about the process of developing a strategic vision and ways to implement the vision once it was defined. Experiential exercises were used to teach communications and influence skills. A portion of day three and all of day four explored the remaining themes of motivation and empowerment—again using experiential exercises and case discussions as the principal vehicles for conveying lessons and insight. Participants learned about the personal philosophies that leaders often draw on in their efforts to empower others, and about the importance of lea.

A key to self-directed learning is reflection. Reflection enables the ability to examine
situations in order to better understand the surrounding context and identify potential
improvements for the future. This assessment aims to develop your awareness and
reflective learning ability while also assessing your understanding of the topics covered in
modules 1 and 2.
Reflective writing ordinarily occurs in the first person (and you can do so here) and works
best when you think deeply about a topic and look at both the positives as well as
opportunities to improve in a situation. Examples within the context of this assessment

Module 1 - SLPManaging Individual BehaviorThe SLP for this c.docx
Module 1 - SLP
Managing Individual Behavior
The SLP for this course involves making a personal assessment of a relevant set of skills, focusing on your strengths and identifying any weaknesses that may have been revealed. You will then be asked to create a plan by which you can "grow" your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. By the end of the project, you will have a personal management profile and action plan.
As we have discussed, your values and attitudes interact with your personality to create a strong effect on your work life. The fit between an individual's personality and a company's "style" is essential to job satisfaction. Someone who is risk-averse, for example, would probably be unhappy at 3M, a company with a reputation for innovation and risk-taking. Understanding the impact of your own personality on others helps you build productive work relationships with peers, subordinates, and bosses, alike.
Refer to the required and optional readings for this module, and any other readings which will help you in understanding personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness. Remember to follow Trident’s guidelines for masters-level writing. (See
The Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper

BA300 Manager Interview Assignment
This is a research paper, so you need to approach it as just that. The point of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can complete research, and connect that research to the class material. In doing this, you will show that you understand and can explain the class material through the research. The research in this assignment is the information that you collect from the interview and shadowing experiences.
Complete the following steps to complete this project:
Step 1: Choose an interview and shadowing subject – This should be a person that:
1. Is currently a manager with employees that they manage,
2. You have access to for both the interview and shadowing, and
3. Agrees to allow you to interview and shadow them.
If you need a letter from the professor to gain their approval, please request one from the professor.
Step 2: Conduct your interview - Use the questions listed below for conducting your Manager Interview. You’ll want to take notes and, if possible, audio record the interview for use when you’re preparing your paper.
Step 3: Shadow your interviewee – spend at least 4 or more hours following the manager through their daily routine. Make notes during this time that focus on what the manager may or may not be doing well based on your opinion and the material from the class.
Step 4: After conducting your interview – prepare a 5-7-page paper that reports your findings from the interview. Think of the interview and shadowing as a primary source (like a book or research journal) to use to write your paper. You MUST clearly cover the following five points:
a. Summarize the manager’s responses to the questions.
b. Evaluate and compare the manager’s responses compared to textbook and lecture discussions.
c. What advice might you give to the manager in order to improve his/her performance?
d. What information most surprised you from the interview and was most useful to you?
e. Use the interview to identify lessons for doing management that you would keep in mind if you held a managerial position.
TIPS FOR WRITING YOUR PAPER:
DO:
DON’T:
1. Use subtopic titles to identify main topics or sections of the paper.
2. Use direct quotes from the interview/shadowing to emphasize and connect ideas, and to show that you completed both.
3. Make direct connections between the class topics and things identified in the interview/shadowing.
4. Use correct English words and grammar in your paper to make this a credible research paper.
5. Use correct paragraph structure, meaning that all sentences in a paragraph should support a topic sentence. If a sentence doesn’t support the topic sentence, that means that another paragraph is needed with a different topic sentence or the sentence should be deleted.
1. Write in the first person by using I, me, my, etc. This is a research paper, it’s about the interviewee and not about you.
2. Inject bias into your paper and make the research less credible by establishing a .

ESSAY CHOICE 1Develop a communication strategy to resolve confli.docx
ESSAY CHOICE 1
Develop a communication strategy to resolve conflict in the work environment.
One of the key challenges for managers is to find adaptive communication strategies that create an open, enabling work culture. Management have asked you to develop a communication strategy to improve staff morale following a meeting highlighting entrenched conflict in the workplace. Management is supportive of positive resolution and reluctant to lose staff members.
Management perceive that the conflict is the result of:
· discrimination issues due to diverse workplace
· harassment / bullying issues
· power issues.
The critical analysis of the work environment and the resultant communication strategy will demonstrate your understanding of:
· structural issues (mechanistic or organic structure or a hybrid of both)
· cultural ethos of the organisation (receptivity of management, acceptance of diversity, openness to innovation)
· characteristics of prevailing work culture of the organisation (e.g. embracive work culture and adaptivity of management)
· work relationship issues such as interpersonal and group communication
· ethical and legal best practice.
Select an organisation that you thoroughly investigated (minimum of twenty staff). This might be an organisation where you have worked. However, this organisation must be large enough and sufficiently complex to sustain a detailed analysis of these important conflict issues.
However, focus only on those elements that are most appropriate to the development of a communication strategy to improve staff morale.
At least six scholarly sources must be submitted. Referencing should be in either the Harvard or APA referencing system.
There is an excellent guide to referencing styles available through the Griffith University library website. Further guidelines and Criteria Sheet are available through the unit website.
Essays should be double spaced (or at least 1.5 minimum) using 12pt Times or the equivalent (eg. 11pt Arial) and presented as doc or docx files.
Always attach a completed Assignment Cover Sheet, available through the Assessment information on the course website.

Introduction:
The process of experiential learning requires an intern/extern to put the knowledge,
skills, abilities, and behaviors learned in a formal educational setting, into practice. This
is called putting "Theory to Practice." In the courses you completed throughout your
degree plan, you learned many theories and concepts and attained knowledge, skills,
abilities, and behaviors at various levels of rigor. Now, it is time for you to put what you
know and can do into action for your intern/externship employer. Upon application of the
theoretical and conceptual knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors, you will return to
the academic setting to reflect on your experiences, thoughts, ideas, observations,
emotions, etc. by putting "Practice to Theory". Your ability to put "Theory to Practice"
and "Practice to Theory" is the essence of your experiential learning journey here at
Kaplan University. The two-steps in the process of experiential learning are described
as follows:
1. Theory to Practice: This is the process of practically applying learned knowledge,
skills, abilities, and behaviors in a real world setting. As stated by Dunmade (2013),
theories are verified empirical truths that may be used in application, by practitioners, as
a point of reference when making decisions and thinking critically about a topic.
Throughout your experiential learning journey, you will put theory to practice while
working for your intern/externship employer. However, as part of the learning process, it
is also important to reflect on your experiences in applying theory to practice. This
learning process is called going from "practice to theory."
2. Practice to Theory: This is the process of academically reflecting on experiences
related to the application of knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors in connection with
research. From an academic standpoint, the process of applying knowledge, skills,
abilities, and behaviors in a real world setting is not complete without
the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of your experiences in connection with viable
research sources. In this reflective exercise, interns/externs are expected to
analyze, synthesize, and evaluate practical experiences with research sources found
within the Kaplan University library, textbooks, or other sources deemed acceptable. A
best practice would be to connect your experiences with research in consideration of
the topics.

Organizational BehaviorDisney Animation - John LasseterThe case focu.docx
Organizational BehaviorDisney Animation - John LasseterThe case focuses on John Lasseter, who currently is the creative head of Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, both of which are owned by The Walt Disney Company. The case chronicles Lasseter’s interests in animation from a young age, the relationship he developed with the Disney organization, his developing interest in computer-animation and consequent demise at Disney Studios, his subsequent award-winning success with computer animation at Pixar Studios, and his recent ascension to creative head of Disney’s Animation Studio as part of the Pixar-Disney merger.The case provides a marvelous illustration of the many types of interpersonal power ¾ reward, coercive, legitimate, referent, and expert that exist within an organization. The case also shows how power can be used to promote the well-being of the organization and its members or to benefit specific people’s interests at the expense of others’ interests. Herein, the two faces of power positive and negative come into play. Another linkage between the chapter material and the case occurs in the form of concerns about the ethical versus unethical use of power. Finally, the case can be used to explore the concepts of organizational politics and political behavior in organizations. Organizational politics often has a negative connotation, and some of the case facts lend themselves to reinforcing this negative connotation.Power and Politics in the Fall and Rise of John LasseterJohn Lasseter grew up in a family heavily involved in artistic expression. Lasseter was drawn to cartoons as a youngster. As a freshman in high school he read a book entitled The Art of Animation. The book, about the making of the Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty, proved to be a revelation for Lasseter. He discovered that people could earn a living by developing cartoons. He started writing letters to The Walt Disney Company Studios regarding his interest in creating cartoons. Studio representatives, who corresponded with Lasseter many times, told him to get a great art education, after which they would teach him animation.When Disney started a Character Animation Program at the California Institute of Arts film school, Lasseter enrolled in the program after encouragement from the studio. Classes were taught by extremely talented Disney animators who also shared stories about working with Walt Disney himself. During summer breaks, jobs at Disneyland further fueled Lasseter’s passion for working as an animator for Disney Studios. Full of excitement, Lasseter joined the Disney animation staff in 1979 after graduation. However, he soon met with disappointment.According to Lasseter, “[t]he animation studio wasn’t being run by these great Disney artists like our teachers at Cal Arts, but by lesser artists and businesspeople who rose through attrition as the grand old men retired.” Lasseter was told, “[y]ou put in your time for 20 years and do what you’r.

Personality is a dynamic concept describing the growth and development of a person’s whole psychological system;
It looks at some aggregate whole that is greater than the sum of the parts.
Defining Personality
Personality as the sum total of ways in which an individual reacts to and interacts with others.
We begin by defining personality. This is a concept that has a lot of preconceived ideas in people. So we want to ensure we are all using the same basic definition to describe a very complex topic. Personality is a dynamic concept, meaning it is changing all the time, an that is is the total of growth and development of a psychological system for the individual. This suggests it includes all of the components of the psyche and their aggregate becomes greater than any of the parts. So the text definition is that personality if the sum total of ways in which an individual reacts to and interacts with others.

Leadership, ethics and organizational failure in a post-colonial context: a case study of genocide in Rwanda.
Introduction
Groups, teams and states are major characteristics of organizational life. It is believed that majority of the organization’s practices need a lot of coordination through working as a team and a group.The leadership of an organization is important in terms of the development of the goals and objectives. Leaders within an organization are responsible for developing the goals and objectives of the organization. In most cases, the success of an organization is usually attributed to the leaders of the organization. The genocide in Rwanda was instigated by the hostility between the Hutu and Tutsi as a result of polarization of the two ethnic groups by the colonial era. The colonization process favored one group over the other. It is believed that the leadership of Rwanda at the time played a major role. Leadership in every country plays a major role in the unity of the nation and in fostering peace and co-existence between different ethnic groups. Therefore the leadership of Rwanda at the time failed to quell the existence of animosity between the Hutu and the Tutsi leading to the experience of genocide that led to mass killings. The paper aims at discussing leadership, ethics and organizational failure in a post-colonial context with a case study of genocide in Rwanda. Main emphasis is laid on organizational failure that instigated the genocide and in particular the correlation between the key leaders and geo-political relations (Scott, 1998).
Leadership traits and concepts
Leadership is considered as the ability to influence the followers towards the achievement of set goals and objectives. Leadership is closely related to management which is aimed at ensuring compliance from the organizational members. The trait theory of leadership is important in terms of defining leadership. The characteristics of the leader can be used for the determination of their leadership styles. According to the behavioral theories of leadership, the specific behaviors of the leaders differentiate the leaders from the non leaders. According to the traits theory of leadership, social, physical, personality or intellectual traits can be used for the purpose of differentiating the leaders from the non leaders. According to the theory, the leader is also supposed to be qualified and open. The contingency theory on the other hand analyzes the environment in which the leader operates. Situational leadership theory examines the ability of the followers to readily accept the instructions of the leaders. There are also various styles of leadership and it plays an important role in determining the potential of the leaders. The charismatic leaders usually portray unconventional behaviors and usually understand. On the other.

The “Myth of Rationality”
Emotions were seen as irrational
Managers worked to make emotion-free environments
View of Emotionality
Emotions were believed to be disruptive
Emotions interfered with productivity
Only negative emotions were observed
Now we know emotions can’t be separated from the workplace
Why Were Emotions Ignored in OB?
As mentioned, emotions and moods were dismissed by OB for a long time. One of the primary reasons was the “Myth of Rationality” that suggested that OB comprised rational concepts and applications and emotions and moods were seen as highly irrational. Emotions were thought to be disruptive of organizational activity and decreased productivity. Because they were perceived as irrational the belief was that they were unpredictable and therefore not easily influenced. We now know this is untrue.

Affect is a generic term that covers a broad range of feelings people experience. This includes both emotions and moods. Emotions are intense feelings that are directed at someone or something. Moods are the feelings that tend to be less intense than emotions and that lack a contextual stimulus.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Please review the Week One Assignments section below for important elements to integrate into discussion and
- 13. paper assignments. Intellectual Elaboration Bolman and Deal (1997) offered basic human resource (HR) strategies as: 1. Develop a long-term HR philosophy – build the philosophy into the corporate structure and incentives; develop measures of HR 2. Invest in people – hire the right people and reward the well; provide job security; promote from within; train and educate; share the wealth 3. Empower employees and redesign their work – provide autonomy and participation; focus on job enrichment; emphasize teamwork; ensure egalitarianism and upward influence (p. 123) [adapted, abridged] This HR philosophy or framework arrives with a host of assumptions, such as (a) promoting an organizational family, (b) focusing on needs, skills, and relationships, (c) projecting leadership as empowerment, and (d) challenging leaders [and managers] to align organizational and human needs (Bolman & Deal, 1997). Personal Experience and Application Hiring people is like forming a marriage that could be good – or not good. When I served in an administrative role for a school district, I routinely suggested for the school board who we should hire, promote, and terminate. As I sought team players as my first priority in hiring, I used committees, as possible, to develop a collective sense of whom we should hire in hopes of helping the acculturation process for new employees. This approach captured tapped into Bolman and Deal’s (1997) HR strategies of investing in people, and empowering employees and redesigning work, as I sought collaborative decision making for hiring decisions. I found offering clarity on respective roles, types of questions we should and should not use, and protocols on processing the results from our interview questions toward consensus to be helpful in managing time and expectations for hiring decision-
- 14. making. Overall, I found success with this approach. Week One Assignments Section For question one, please read and cite portions of chapter one from A Framework for Human Resource Management (Dessler, 2011) and the intellectual elaboration from this instructor’s guidance. For question two, please read and cite portions of chapter two of Dessler’s (2011) textbook, and watch and cite portions from the video, “How to Handle Harassment and Discrimination Complaints” (n. d.) (available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMDnCqT-KU0). Please use at least two academic sources from ProQuest and readings from the textbook for the paper assignment. In addition to the two discussion forums and paper assignment, please offer a brief biography to help with introductions, including academic and professional experience, and at least two expectations from this course. Thank you for your consideration.
