This document discusses several subjective ethical theories, including emotivism, divine command theory, subjective relativism, and cultural relativism. It provides criticisms of each theory. Emotivism is criticized for contradicting deeply held moral convictions. Divine command theory is criticized for implying that God has no moral reasons for what He approves. Subjective relativism implies that every individual is morally infallible, which is unlikely. Cultural relativism implies there can be no moral progress and that every culture has equally correct moral values, undermining views of objective morality and tolerance. It also implies cultures are morally infallible.

Styles of Leadership and Your Organization
Teneka Oliver
Organizational Behavior (MGMT601)
17 December 2017
General John J. Pershing once said, “A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.” As a leader, personal accountability is the standard. A quality many never seemed to care about. Those that have been led define a leaders true competency. If they fail, it is because the leader has failed them.
In the military, competency is usually in the eye of the beholder; commonly referred to as leadership. Their assessment comes in the form of an appraisals, non-commission officer evaluation reports or officer evaluations that amasses everything accomplished in one year. Generally, throughout that year feedback is giving. All too often that is not the case. More times than not, individuals are left to write their own evaluation. There is no more daunting a task than having to rate your ability as a leader. The last thing an individual wants to do is place his or herself so high that others despise them, yet not under sell their own ability to lead others.
This, coupled with organization goals, values and mission, has the potential for several pitfalls. A true leader sees and seizes this as an opportunity. A chance too not only sharpen and hone their own leadership style, but perhaps try their hand at various others. An organization, in its simplest definition, is a group of people with a particular purpose. The military is nothing more than a group of people with the simple purpose of neutralizing the enemy. A task that the U.S. government exiles at. This task can not be carried out to its fullest without someone at the helm leading.
It takes a skilled individual, with unique qualities and abilities to bring a group of people with various backgrounds from different walks of life together on accord. One type of leadership style may work for one, where as it may not work for another. Something to always consider; all the while keeping in line with the organizations mission statement, vision and goals.
There are organization that you will see how differently leaders will manage. Some leadership styles may be more aggressive, calm, and even nonchalant. There are several different forms of leadership styles that can help strengthen your organization or either weaken it. Some leaders are likely to use just one specific style to establish a solid foundation. However, to be a successful people will to understand their leadership style and how it can possibly impact on their organization.
The problem with some leaders is that they assume that leadership style is based off personality instead of using a strategy that will address that situation. The ideal is being able to identify your style and make any adjustments that will be most beneficial for the organization. There is a saying, “Leadership is not just some ...

needed for effective leadership, the political aspects of leadership, and the unique elements of the academic environment.
Approaches to leadership are different in diverse situations and in various environments. Review the matrix below to see theories of
leadership and elements that make them different. The goal of the matrix is to assist you in understanding the various leadership
theories and the relationship between them.

Professional Development PlanLeadership as a vocation .docxbriancrawford30935
Professional Development Plan
Leadership as a vocation requires a commitment to professional excellence and integrity, which can be achieved through establishing habits of self-reflection, life-long learning, and professional development. The purpose of this assignment is for you to reflect on where you currently are in your leadership capabilities; define where you want to go; and specify goals, plans, and a timeframe for achieving your professional objectives. Your professional development plan will be composed of three parts: Vision, Goals/Objectives, and Plans.
Vision:
The ability to create, communicate, and compel vision is critical to inspiring and effective leadership. While ultimately many leaders are responsible for developing visions to guide complex organizations, effective leadership begins on a much more personal level—a vision of yourself as a leader. Who are you and who do you want to become in your field or sphere of influence? Once you are clear about that, you can then confidently establish how you will help others and your organization achieve their visions.
Your leadership vision is based on a number of factors including your attitude, values, personal beliefs, guiding principles, and how you behave. It may also be influenced by theoretical, philosophical, or religious frameworks and the leadership traits, values, and behaviors of others. A leadership vision is also dynamic. No great leader ever "arrived." Those who have adopted leadership as their vocation can spend a lifetime in self-reflection in order to continue to learn and more effectively motivate and inspire others.
Spend some time reflecting below on where you currently are in your leadership capabilities, what you have learned about leadership in the course, and how you want to develop and improve as you continue your leadership studies and move forward in your field. Review the document “Essential Leadership Competencies” for an overview of the scope of effective leadership capabilities.
Reflection:
Vision:
Then, in 300-500 words, briefly articulate your vision for yourself as a leader 3-5 years from now. Where do you want to be? What kind of leader do you want to become?
Goals/Objectives:
After you have stated your vision, create five to eight leadership goals/objectives you will strive to meet in the next 3-5 years. Try to formulate at least one goal/objective related to the four major leadership competencies included in "Essential Leadership Competencies": self-leadership, leading others, leading an organization, and leadership as a vocation. Include a brief justification for each goal/objective to explain how it will help you achieve the qualities of professional excellence and integrity required of excellent leaders.
Plan:
Specify activities you will engage in to achieve your goals/objectives. You may find it helpful to research professional development activities in your field or organization to determine what resource.

EDU-535 Lecture 3
Learning How to Research
Introduction
In Topic 1, you learned about the importance of scholarship and a little about what it takes to transition from student to scholar. In this Topic, you will learn about the heart of scholarship: Research. Learning how to research is critical to your transition from student to scholar, because it is a significant component of how you master the knowledge in your field, which will in turn equip you to contribute to the improvement of practice in your field. Review the learning objectives for this Topic within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about the role of research in scholarship, to accomplish them.
What Do We Mean by Research?
You may have used the term
research
in many different scenarios and settings. You may have had to research locations of companies offering a particular service you needed, or maybe you had to research different schools before deciding to enroll at GCU. The term research is often used loosely in informal settings to mean, as illustrated in the previous examples,
the search for information
−but what does research mean in an academic setting? What does research mean in graduate study? What does research mean to the aspiring scholar wishing to improve the field in which they work?
According to
The Free Dictionary
, researchis defined as "scholarly or scientific investigation or inquiry." A Google search defines
research
as "the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions." The first definition uses the term
scholarly,
which, as you learned in Topic 1, refers to a "learned person" who more than likely has mastered a particular discipline. The second definition mentions "the study of materials and sources." This could include people, theories, concepts, studies, and a variety of other sources. Both definitions mention "systematic or scientific investigation," which means an orderly and logical process that is carried out in the act of research. Analyzing both definitions sho.
Weekly discussion response question Carl Solberg provides us with a.docxdannies7qbuggie
Weekly discussion response question: Carl Solberg provides us with a comparative history of agrarian development in Argentina and Canada as both nations entered the twentieth century. Identify one of the differences between Canada and Argentina that Solberg discusses and comment on the implications for each respective country. -this is the first assignment.
THe second assignment is to comment on two student's threads they wrote for the first assignment. Here are two student's threads I just need simple reply to their answer try not to do make it sound too professional, it should be smilar to what the students have written like I like your thread because you mentioned this and blah blah just a regular response. Here are two thread for you to respond to also tell me which student's thread you responded to so I added their name below just say say response to this student's thread and the response only needs to be a paragraph.
1.)
There is no doubt that both Argentina and Canada both flourished from 1870 up until around 1930, but they did so in a different manner. They were both not known to be attractive spots to immigrants up until this time period. It is clear that both countries saw a rapid increase in their migrant population but one difference that I would like to point out is how different the growth rates were and why.
Starting in 1870, Canada's population was almost three times greater than Argentina's. Over the course of the next 40 years their populations would come to much closer numbers, within a million people. Argentina's growth rate was almost twice as high as what Canada was seeing despite they both were equipped with highly funded marketing budgets to bring workers to their respective countries.
These expensive marketing campaigns provided false expectations for immigrants and if they did not like the conditions in Canada there was always the choice to move to the United States.
One of the main reasons for diverse migrant numbers was due to the United States close proximity to Canada. (
Solberg
, 134) Immigrants moving to Argentina likely did not have another alternative once they arrived. Economic growth in both Canada and Argentina would eventually slow down due to either higher land prices or falling commodity prices so the option to move to the booming United States economy became more appealing. Canada also started to see Americans move north to reap the land of its benefits with their agricultural knowledge but they did not stay long and soon moved back to the United States. - William Alexander
2.)
The 1890's to 1920's were a very versatile time for Canada and Argentina. Although in very different geographical areas, both of these countries had sought over lands for agriculture. Due to this, it was a prime spot for immigrants to migrate too for successful futures. Both of these countries were the world's leading exporters at the time. This was due to the massive migration as mentioned, and also foreign inve.

Week5 ET410
Cost Estimation and Budgeting
An important aspect of cost budgeting is personnel. A current professional issue in the engineering field is companies using contract engineers like employees but refusing to actually make them employees. Thus, they effectively work for a company for years in a contract status rather than in a full-time employee status. Labor and tax law may motivate the employer and perhaps the ‘employee’ to maintain a contingent status. On the other hand, there can be an ethical issue with refusing to transition an ‘employee’ to full-time status. Discuss what motivates an employer to use temporary or contingent employees, and explain the ethical implications on the individual, society, and the profession of keeping an individual in that status. What criteria might be used to determine when to change an individual’s status? Consider ethical problem solving strategies from ET100 where appropriate. You MUST have references.

Weekly Discussion Board Response
The weekly discussion board response serves as a forum for students to participate and discuss assigned readings with classmates and the professor. This weekly assignment is broken down into 2 parts: (1) your response and (2) commenting on two other posts. The class has been organized to include the same amount of readings as a class that would meet in person. Each student is required to write a response about the Tuesday reading by Thursday – no later than 6:00 PM EST (I am including eastern standard time because several students are taking the class while outside of the country).
Students are expected to write responses that are three paragraphs in length and demonstrate a strong understanding of the themes, events, and people contained in the readings. In addition, each student must pick two other student posts and comment on their response for the week. Comments should be constructive, thoughtful and focused. The purpose of the each student’s comment response is to promote dialogue between students that would typically occur in a classroom setting. Comments should be one paragraph.
Weekly Response Paper
Students are responsible for writing a response paper at the end of each week. The paper’s topic will draw from the readings assigned for that week. The paper’s question (or set of questions) will build off the weekly discussion response. The purpose of the weekly response paper is for students to demonstrate that they have completed the assigned readings and can critically apply the material to larger questions of history and political economy. The paper should follow the basic format of: introduction, body, conclusion, and footnotes that follow the Chicago-style format (do not cite in the body of the text). All papers should contain the student’s own, individual voice that is supported with evidence and facts drawn from the assigned readings. Other secondary sources used to complement or strengthen your argument are acceptable, however Wikipedia entries and blog posts are not acceptable as sources.

Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.
You will develop a 10- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you. You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for this issue.
-In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical concerns that you could face as an advocate.
Specific details for each aspect of this paper are provided each week.

Weekly discussion response question Carl Solberg provides us with a.docxdannies7qbuggie
Weekly discussion response question: Carl Solberg provides us with a comparative history of agrarian development in Argentina and Canada as both nations entered the twentieth century. Identify one of the differences between Canada and Argentina that Solberg discusses and comment on the implications for each respective country. -this is the first assignment.
THe second assignment is to comment on two student's threads they wrote for the first assignment. Here are two student's threads I just need simple reply to their answer try not to do make it sound too professional, it should be smilar to what the students have written like I like your thread because you mentioned this and blah blah just a regular response. Here are two thread for you to respond to also tell me which student's thread you responded to so I added their name below just say say response to this student's thread and the response only needs to be a paragraph.
1.)
There is no doubt that both Argentina and Canada both flourished from 1870 up until around 1930, but they did so in a different manner. They were both not known to be attractive spots to immigrants up until this time period. It is clear that both countries saw a rapid increase in their migrant population but one difference that I would like to point out is how different the growth rates were and why.
Starting in 1870, Canada's population was almost three times greater than Argentina's. Over the course of the next 40 years their populations would come to much closer numbers, within a million people. Argentina's growth rate was almost twice as high as what Canada was seeing despite they both were equipped with highly funded marketing budgets to bring workers to their respective countries.
These expensive marketing campaigns provided false expectations for immigrants and if they did not like the conditions in Canada there was always the choice to move to the United States.
One of the main reasons for diverse migrant numbers was due to the United States close proximity to Canada. (
Solberg
, 134) Immigrants moving to Argentina likely did not have another alternative once they arrived. Economic growth in both Canada and Argentina would eventually slow down due to either higher land prices or falling commodity prices so the option to move to the booming United States economy became more appealing. Canada also started to see Americans move north to reap the land of its benefits with their agricultural knowledge but they did not stay long and soon moved back to the United States. - William Alexander
2.)
The 1890's to 1920's were a very versatile time for Canada and Argentina. Although in very different geographical areas, both of these countries had sought over lands for agriculture. Due to this, it was a prime spot for immigrants to migrate too for successful futures. Both of these countries were the world's leading exporters at the time. This was due to the massive migration as mentioned, and also foreign inve.
Week5 ET410 Cost Estimation and BudgetingAn important aspect of .docxdannies7qbuggie
Week5 ET410
Cost Estimation and Budgeting
An important aspect of cost budgeting is personnel. A current professional issue in the engineering field is companies using contract engineers like employees but refusing to actually make them employees. Thus, they effectively work for a company for years in a contract status rather than in a full-time employee status. Labor and tax law may motivate the employer and perhaps the ‘employee’ to maintain a contingent status. On the other hand, there can be an ethical issue with refusing to transition an ‘employee’ to full-time status. Discuss what motivates an employer to use temporary or contingent employees, and explain the ethical implications on the individual, society, and the profession of keeping an individual in that status. What criteria might be used to determine when to change an individual’s status? Consider ethical problem solving strategies from ET100 where appropriate. You MUST have references.

Weekly Discussion Board Response
The weekly discussion board response serves as a forum for students to participate and discuss assigned readings with classmates and the professor. This weekly assignment is broken down into 2 parts: (1) your response and (2) commenting on two other posts. The class has been organized to include the same amount of readings as a class that would meet in person. Each student is required to write a response about the Tuesday reading by Thursday – no later than 6:00 PM EST (I am including eastern standard time because several students are taking the class while outside of the country).
Students are expected to write responses that are three paragraphs in length and demonstrate a strong understanding of the themes, events, and people contained in the readings. In addition, each student must pick two other student posts and comment on their response for the week. Comments should be constructive, thoughtful and focused. The purpose of the each student’s comment response is to promote dialogue between students that would typically occur in a classroom setting. Comments should be one paragraph.
Weekly Response Paper
Students are responsible for writing a response paper at the end of each week. The paper’s topic will draw from the readings assigned for that week. The paper’s question (or set of questions) will build off the weekly discussion response. The purpose of the weekly response paper is for students to demonstrate that they have completed the assigned readings and can critically apply the material to larger questions of history and political economy. The paper should follow the basic format of: introduction, body, conclusion, and footnotes that follow the Chicago-style format (do not cite in the body of the text). All papers should contain the student’s own, individual voice that is supported with evidence and facts drawn from the assigned readings. Other secondary sources used to complement or strengthen your argument are acceptable, however Wikipedia entries and blog posts are not acceptable as sources.

Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.
You will develop a 10- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you. You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for this issue.
-In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical concerns that you could face as an advocate.
Specific details for each aspect of this paper are provided each week.
This paper will serve as the Portfolio Application for the course.
Before you begin, review the complete Assignment.

Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in me.docxdannies7qbuggie
Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in media over the years (includes: staging news, re-creations, selective editing and fictional methods). Give some background for context and answer; why, in your opinion is this an example of misrepresentation and why is it egregious? Provide the link to the example. Additionally for the Week 8 discussion, consider media bias. Both conservative and liberal sides claim that there is media bias (to the other side of their beliefs) yet, it is evident that there is bias on both sides. It is no secret that the traditional views of the following 3 media outlets are as follows: Fox News--Conservative/Right, MSNBC--Liberal/Left, CNN--Moderate. A) Track a relatively current news story and report to the class the way the 3 media outlets presented the story. Were there surprises to you in your findings? B) Also pick one additional media outlet of your choice (perhaps NPR, AL JAZEERA, or BBC) and look at their perspective of the same story.
This is just a discussion but please cite in APA format as usual.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.

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”.

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.

PHI 2604 – Critical ThinkingEthics Handouts
1. PHI 2604 – Critical Thinking/Ethics Handouts
Lenel
Rev. 5/2020
Subjective Ethical Theories
I. Emotivism Criticism
According to this theory, moral judgments have
no cognitive content, thus no truth value. Moral
judgments merely reflect subjective attitudes
and emotions. Without a truth value, there can
be no moral statements! Thus, “it is morally
wrong to hit an innocent child” becomes a moral
utterance, neither true nor false.
The theory contradicts many of
our deeply held moral
convictions. For example, the
theories denies that, “Killing
babies for fun is morally wrong”
is a true statement.
2. II. Approbative Ethical Theories
A. The Divine Command Theory
According to this theory, an action is only morally
right because God approves of the action. But, if you
ask why God approves of the action, there seems to
be nothing to say. Thus God has no moral reasons
for that of which He approves!
The theory robs God of having
moral reasons for that of which He
approves.
B. Subjective Relativism
According to this theory, an action is morally right
simply because the agent (the one doing the action)
approves of the action. No matter how atrocious the
behavior may appear to others, as long as the agent
believes the behavior is morally right, it is!
The theory implies that every
individual is morally infallible, which
is extremely unlikely to be true.
C. Cultural Relativism
According to this theory, an action is morally right
because one’s culture approves of the action. Thus it
is cultures who create moral values by believing in
them collectively. If there is disagreement within a
3. culture, then an action is morally right because the
majority of one’s culture approves of the action.
This theory implies that there can
be no moral progress over time. It
implies that every culture (past and
present) has moral values that are
equally correct. The theory implies
that moral issues can be settled by
taking a survey. Far from justifying
the moral rightness of tolerance,
the theory undermines the view
that tolerance is objectively morally
right, as well as any other objective
moral value. Finally, while it does
recognize that individuals can be
mistaken in their moral judgments,
it does imply that every culture is
morally infallible, which is
extremely unlikely to be true.

5. 1. Identifying individual leaders by explaining what
leadership skills are needed; their traits and ethics, leadership
behavior and motivation, influencing power, politics,
networking, and negotiation traits leaders possess. (400 words
minimum).
A simple definition of leadership is based on motivating a
group of people with ideas that can be communicated to others
in certain ways that engaged them to act as leaders and be
successful in both personal and professional lives.
According to Lussier and Achua (2016) there are five key
elements that describes and qualify effective leadership: Leader
– followers, Influence, Organizational Objectives, Change and
People. Leaders are expected by any organization or companies
to be very strong and also have the ability of communicating
well their vision to others or their followers which are groups
influenced by leaders, a follower could be a manager or not,
leaders and followers has same qualities needed to be effective,
so to be a leader is necessary to share ideas to get something
accomplished and influence people with it. The ability of
influencing is not an easy task, for example a person that has
empathy will have more power to influence others, also who has
a great communications skill get to achieve the enthusiasm of
their followers. Another key element of a leadership is
Organizational Objectives that is very important for the leader
performance, leaders has to set their goal with purposes to
achieve their team effectively. Leadership also has the ability of
Change, change people’s idea, mind and status to something
different or new and its necessary work on creative strategies
that requires confidence to convince their followers.
Leadership is about leading and influencing People (another
important skill to mention) to accomplish their goal aligning
and motivating them, which is a very important element, is the
people who follows and achieve the objectives.
Often leaders try to be perfectionist and inspire people
with their thoughts and actions, but for this happen they have to
6. follow the three management skills to be very successful. There
are three types of management skills that define effective
leaders: Technical Skills, Interpersonal skills and Decision-
making Skills.
Technical Skills required a leader or managers to have
abilities of using a variety of techniques to perform their task
and objectives which involve operating software or computer
skills, some positions and some types of jobs required technical
skills. I believe that technical skills are very important to
managers, it help them to analyze and solve internal problems
also commanding and controlling the team. Another essential
management skill that a leader/manager has to follow to be very
successful is Interpersonal Skills which are the skills that have
the ability of interact, understand and work effectively with
people. These skills help the managers to develop a relationship
with employees and motivate them to have better results, I think
that soft Skills are very crucial and work effectively to the
success of the leader and the team of any organization’s overall.
Decision-Making skills are another indispensable skill based in
making right decisions that results in a good performa nce,
solving problems and get good opportunities. Managers has to
have the ability of being creative and make right changes to
better achieve the success of the business (Lussier & Achua,
2016)
To conclude, I believe those leadership skills are very
important to all organization be successful, having leaders that
set and achieved goals and inspiring others to follow their path
in order to motivate and have a nice work atmosphere.

7. 2) Developing team leadership by explaining how charismatic
and transformational leadership may benefit the organization.
(400 words minimum).
Charismatic leaders have the ability to inspire and build
confidence with a clear vision. Charisma is a peculiarity
connected between leaders and followers that have
characteristics of great personality to attract and influence
people. Charismatic leaders use their communication and
emotional style to persuade and gain admiration of followers
who often develop emotional sensitivity and a strong sense of
trust with the leader. The effects of charismatic leaders on
followers are based on leaders “right” vision, their positiveness
and the way leaders share it has an impact on followers, they
simply developed self-confidence and self- efficacy while they
work to perform leader’s sight.
Charisma is not always used to do great and positive
inspire way, there is differentiating between positive and
negative charisma which can identify in the values and terms of
the leader. Based on this both ways positive and negative
charisma, there are two types of leaders which are identified as
the Socialized Charismatic leader (SCL) and the Personalized
charismatic leader (PCL). Socialized Charismatic leader is
characterized by leaders with empowerment personality which
involves leaders promoting their growth and inspiring their
followers to do the same as their ideal using charisma to benefit
others. On the other hand, Personalized Charismatic leader or
negative leader is based on narcissistic personality
characterized by strong power of their needs who uses charisma
for personal benefits (Lussier & Achua, 2016).
Followers are inspired by actions and performances of
leaders those actions can take positive or negative ways of
follower’s behavior. The SCL expects to have positive effects
on their followers reinforce consistency behavior which
8. combine with the mission of the organization, by observing
leaders self- confidence and self- efficacy followers tend to
develop it as well and work same way as their leader vision, so
when this happen it motivates followers and creates comfortable
atmosphere with productivity and better quality of work.
Personalized or negative charismatic leaders use their charisma
and power based on dominance that cause authoritarianism
behavior which affect negatively their followers. Decisions of
the leaders are based on self-interest using their power to self-
manage goals only when it supports their own needs.
Personalized leader’s traits have significantly association
with followers’ actions, the leader’s personality, characteristics
and persuasive power can directly affect followers’ behaviors,
they tend to embrace leader’s subordination and also have
personalized feelings of obedience and devotion which can
cause personal disapproval, several detriments between their
followers. In contrast, socialized charismatic impacts on raise
follower’s motivation and facilitations to achieve the goal of the
organization. To sum up, the charismatic leaders is an example
of identification for followers, their work, responsibilities and
behavior effects on followers’ perceptions that build a positive
image consistent with the values of the leader’s vision.
Furthermore, Charismatic leaders have the abilities of
empowerment expressing confidence and optimism at a high
level, that way they set personal examples which help Set out
traits and actions coinciding with the vision and goals that they
support.

9. 3) Explaining the importance of leadership of culture, ethics,
and diversity and how to improve this within the organization.
(400 words minimum).
Globalization of the economies and integration has created a
great need for diversity. Diversity has been perceived as
strength to the organization and every business entity is looking
for ways implementing diversity management in its workplace.
However, even if diversity is a source of strength to the
organization, there are numerous challenges associated with
diversity. In this discussion, the advantages and disadvantages
of diversity are addressed.
There are numerous benefits of embracing diversity. First, it
creates an opportunity for the organization to tap a wider pool
of the talents and skills which are used to propel the
organization to another level. Second, it creates an opportunity
to integrate and combine together different ideas which help to
improve the quality of the decisions that are made and also to
promote innovation. Third, diversity brings employees together
and promotes cordial interpersonal relationships among the
employees which leads to increases in productivity because
employees work to achieve shared common objective. Fourth,
diversity creates avenues for employees to build their trust,
creates senses of the inclusion and belonging which motivates
and inspires employees resulting to increased job satisfaction
and ultimately resulting to increase in output.
Even though there are numerous advantages of diversity,
managers do face challenges in managing diversity. Some of the
potential challenges of diversity are: it may be costly because
management is required to run training programs to equip
employees with interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence
skills that would help employees to relate with one another;
there could be increased cases of the intergroup conflict and
resistance because of the difference in the values, beliefs and
10. ideas among the employees and finally, there could be
incidences of communication barriers and discrimination
(Inegbedion et al…,2020). However, even if there are demerits
of diversity, management must look for ways to handle them
and support diversity.
