Responce at least 50 words Why Leaders Fail Robby Colbert Saint Leo University July 23, 2014 Abstract This paper will be a brief examination of the theories behind why leaders of organizations fail to act, or fail to lead in times when action is called for. Key words: leadership. What is a leader? According to the online resource Dictionary.com a leader is a person or thing that leads; a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group. ( Online Etymology Dictionary, n.d.) And to lead has many definitions, part of which state: to go before or with to show the way; to influence or induce; to guide in direction, course, action, opinion, etc. ( Encyclopedia Britannica , n.d.) Now that we have established that a leader is someone who leads others, who influences decisions, who guides others and shows the way, we can explore the reasons why a leader fails to take the appropriate actions or fails to lead. Some of this can be explained by fear, a lack of training, a lack of information, information overload and many other psychological or physiological reasons. When dealing in the realm of law enforcement leaders we need to define the three main styles of leadership. In their seminal work on leadership Lewin, Lippitt and White (1939) listed the leadership styles as authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. The authoritarian style is also known as the autocratic style and is characterized as being totally one sided. The leader who utilizes this style makes all the decisions with very little or no outside influence or consultation. The second style is the democratic style and is characterized by engaging other members and soliciting their input in decisions that could have an effect on their organization. And the last style is one that is very seldom used in the realm of law enforcement since it is characterized more by a lack of decision making and inaction; some call this a hands-off approach. This style of leadership is one that does not produce action and has the tendency to be seen as a weakness on the part of the leader. Due to the dynamic nature of law enforcement leadership one seldom finds this style in senior members of a law enforcement agency. (Swanson, Territo and Taylor, 2012) Some leaders fail to lead out of a sense of fear. At times doing nothing seems like a better option than making a decision that can be dissected in hindsight. At other times those who have risen to a position of power become caught up in the way things have always worked in the past and fail to adapt to the changing environment in business or public service. There are occasions when leaders fail to lead by neglecting the established rules or by defending the actions of subordinates before they have a chance to gather all of the information necessary to make an informed decision. A sergeant and the Chief of Police for the Newport News Police Department were caught up in such a situation in January 1994. The.

Leadership chapter 1 and 2
Leadership is a process that involves influence over a group of people with shared goals. The trait approach studies characteristics of leaders. Early theories focused on innate qualities of great leaders but research now shows traits interact with situational demands. Key traits include intelligence, self-confidence, determination, integrity, and sociability. The Big Five model also links extraversion and conscientiousness to leadership. However, the trait approach is limited as it does not account for situational effects and fails to specify which traits are important in different contexts.
Leadership theories
This document provides an overview of four major leadership theories:
1. Trait theory examines characteristics and traits that distinguish successful leaders. Core traits identified include achievement drive, self-confidence, and emotional maturity.
2. Contingency theory proposes that leadership effectiveness depends on properties of the situation. Fiedler's contingency theory matches leadership styles to situational control.
3. Zeitgeist theory views leaders as products of the social conditions and spirit of their time, rather than driving forces themselves.
4. Path-goal theory focuses on how leaders motivate followers by clarifying paths to goals and addressing needs. Structuring and consideration behaviors are effective depending on task clarity.
Leadership essay peart
This document discusses the concepts of leadership and management. It defines leadership as the ability to influence others towards achieving goals and visions. Leadership requires inspiring followers and gaining their willingness to follow, while also acting in a socially responsible manner. Management is defined as planning, organizing, and controlling tasks. The key differences between leadership and leadership are that leadership focuses on setting direction, aligning people, and motivating through trust, while management focuses on administration, efficiency, and maintaining the status quo. Effective organizations require both good leadership and good management.
Theories of Leadership
This document discusses theories of trait leadership. It defines leadership and discusses theories proposed by Lao Tsu and Keith Davis. It then covers the trait theory of leadership, which attempts to identify physiological, demographic, personality, and intellective traits of successful leaders. The theories of Gordon Allport and Raymond Cattell are examined, including their levels/factors of personality traits. The advantages and limitations of trait theory are also summarized.

12 Addressing Ethics in Leadership
Introduction
Leadership has a moral dimension because leaders influence the lives of others. Because of this influential dimension, leadership carries with it an enormous ethical responsibility. Hand in hand with the authority to make decisions is the obligation a leader has to use his or her authority for the common good. Because the leader usually has more power and control than followers have, leaders have to be particularly sensitive to how their leadership affects the well-being of others.
What is Ethical Leadership and Why is it Relevant?
In recent years, there have been an overwhelming number of scandals in the public and private sectors. Accounting and financial scandals have occurred at some of the largest companies in the world, including Adelphia, Enron, Tyco International, and WorldCom. In addition, there have been stories of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, sexual assaults within the U.S. military, and a multitude of sexual scandals in the lives of public figures including governors, U.S. senators, and mayors, to name but a few. As a result of such high-profile scandals, people are becoming suspicious of public figures and what they do. The public strongly seeks moral leadership.
As mentioned in Chapter 1, “Understanding Leadership,” the overriding purpose of this book is to discover “what it takes to be a leader.” Closely related to this question, and perhaps even more important, is “what it takes to be an ethical leader.” That query is the focus of this chapter. This means our emphasis will be on describing how people act when they show ethical leadership. While it is always intriguing to know whether one is or is not perceived by others to be ethical, our emphasis will not be directed toward whether you are or are not ethical, but rather we will focus on the properties and characteristics of ethical leadership. The assumption we are making is that if you understand the nature of ethical leadership, you will be better equipped to engage in ethical leadership.
Before we discuss the factors that account for ethical leadership, you may want to go to the end of the chapter and take the Ethical Leadership Style Questionnaire (12.2). It will help you understand your own ethical leadership style and at the same time introduce you to the ideas we will be discussing in this chapter.
Leadership Ethics Explained
To begin, it is important to first define ethical leadership. In the simplest terms, ethical leadership is the influence of a moral person who moves others to do the right thing in the right way for the right reasons (Ciulla, 2003). Put another way, ethical leadership is a process by which a good person rightly influences others to accomplish a common good: to make the world better, fairer, and more humane.
Defining Ethical Leadership
Ethics is concerned with the kind of values and morals an individual or society finds desirable or appropriate. In leadership, ethics has to do with what lead.

Management theory in education1
This document provides an overview of key concepts from chapters in the book Management of Organizational Behavior by Paul Hersey, Kenneth Blanchard, and Dewey E. Johnson related to situational leadership theory. It discusses four leadership styles characterized by varying levels of task behavior and relationship behavior. Situational leadership theory states there is no single best leadership style and the most effective style depends on the readiness level of the followers. The document also summarizes concepts about developing human resources, effective communication, group dynamics, and performance management from the perspective of situational leadership.

1) The document discusses the Relational Leadership Model (RLM) which focuses on developing perspectives on self, organizational membership, and attitudes towards others.
2) RLM has five spheres: Purpose, Inclusive, Empowering, Ethical, and Process. The author provides examples from their career of how they applied each sphere.
3) The author describes an experience in Iraq where they were ordered to steal equipment tags but obtained the information needed through ethical means instead. This demonstrated applying the RLM spheres effectively.
Leadership Traits and Behavioural Theories
This document discusses and compares traits theory and behavioral theory of leadership. Traits theory believes that leaders are born with certain traits, while behavioral theory believes that leadership can be learned through observation and training. Some key differences are outlined in a table. Traits theory focuses on identifying innate qualities, while behavioral theory takes a more scientific approach and sees leadership as something that can be developed. The document examines several leadership styles and theories within each approach, such as McGregor's Theory X and Y. It also provides examples of different leadership traits and behaviors.
Management theory in education1
This document summarizes key chapters from the book Management of Organizational Behavior by Paul Hersey, Kenneth Blanchard, and Dewey E. Johnson. It focuses on their theory of situational leadership which contends that leadership style should vary based on the readiness level of followers. The four leadership styles range from directing to delegating. Effective leadership requires adapting one's style to the situation and diagnosing follower readiness.
Copy of management theory in education1
This document summarizes key chapters from the book Management of Organizational Behavior by Paul Hersey, Kenneth Blanchard, and Dewey E. Johnson. [1] It focuses on situational leadership theory and recommends chapters 8-10 and 12-17 as especially important. [2] Situational leadership involves matching one's leadership style to followers' readiness levels and adapting one's style to meet changing needs. [3] Effective leadership requires flexibility and the ability to diagnose situations to apply the optimal style.

This document discusses various leadership theories and the role of leadership in community development. It begins by defining key terms like leadership, economic development, and theory. It then examines major leadership theories such as Great Man Theory, Trait Theory, Skills Theory, and Behavioral Theories. Next, it outlines characteristics of effective leaders such as listening, honesty, respect, healing, and persuasion. It also distinguishes between power and influence. The document concludes by exploring the relationship between leadership and civic capacity, and ways leaders can get involved in community affairs like workshops, advisory councils, leadership trips, and task forces.
People’S Beliefs On How Individuals Become Leaders Affect
1. Early leadership theories focused on distinguishing innate qualities between leaders and followers, while more recent theories emphasize that leadership skills can be learned and developed through training and experience.
2. Great leaders are often described as having innate characteristics like charisma, confidence, intelligence and social skills. However, other theories posit that leaders are made, not born, and that leadership abilities can be developed through teaching and observation.
3. Modern theories have identified important leadership qualities like vision, communication skills, ability to motivate and inspire followers, adaptability to different situations, and learning from experiences. The most effective leadership style
Case Study Captain Edith StrongCaptain Strong is the commander .docx
Case Study: Captain Edith Strong
Captain Strong is the commander of a Field Operations Division in the City of Rogerville that has a population of 101,603, and the community covers 65.4 square miles. Captain Strong has worked her way up through the ranks achieving the position of captain after 18 years of service. She is the first woman to hold this high of a position in the department. Prior to this she served as Lieutenant of Administrative Services. The preponderance of her service has been in patrol, where she served as a sergeant and then a watch commander.
Within the department, 65 percent of the officers are white, and the next largest ethnic group is Hispanic, at 27 percent. Seven percent of the force is women. Based on tradition and operational policy, the department has a definitive chain of command and is keyed to job specialization. Patrol officers are assigned to a specific beat and respond to calls, conduct preliminary investigations (when minor crimes are involved), and engage in preventive patrol when time allows. The Bureau of Criminal Investigations conducts all other investigations. Job descriptions are definitive, and everyone follows them religiously. Deviation from a job description results in immediate supervisory action that usually calls for being written-up. The Division handles 62 percent of the police department’s measurable workload and has 58 percent of the manpower.
Within the Division, there is a lieutenant who serves as an adjutant, three lieutenants who serve as watch commanders, a traffic sergeant who supervises six officers, a sergeant who supervises the Neighborhood Police unit that has a complement of 10 officers, three school resource officers, and 71 patrol officers. Officers in the specialized assignment have higher morale and seem well satisfied with their assignments. They have an opportunity to interact with each other and create meaningful and satisfying relationships. Almost all patrol officers feel that their workload is excessive and complain that all they do is go from one incident to the next and spend an inordinate amount of time creating police reports. In fact, they feel that they are unable to complete their preliminary investigations and in many instances have to cut corners in order to complete a shift. Except for backup in certain cases, they never get to interact with fellow officers apart from coming and going to roll-call sessions. Every patrol officer in the department works solo, and departmental police prohibits more than two officer eating meals or taking coffee breaks at the same time in the same restaurant.
The dehumanizing aspect of an excessive workload has taken its toll on the personnel assigned to the patrol division. A survey conducted by a member of the chief’s staff indicates that patrol officers feel in the following ways:
1. The job is viewed as dissatisfying.
2. Morale is low.
3. Response time is long.
4. The number of citizen-initiated complaints is up.
5. More offi ...

Misconceptions of Ethical Leadership:
How to Avoid Potential
Pitfalls
MICHAEL E. BROWN
C orporate leaders have enjoyed life inthe national spotlight. That spotlight
used to shine brightly on their accomplish-
ments, but today its glare scrutinizes the
ethical misdeeds of far too many business
leaders. Anyone who has followed the wave
of corporate scandals that began with the
collapse of Enron Corp., in 2001, will recog-
nize names like Ken Lay, John Rigas, and
Bernie Ebbers. They are but a few of the high-
profile leaders who fell from grace because of
their involvement in corporate scandals.
With so many examples of leaders behaving
badly, many questions come to mind: Why
have so many of our business leaders demon-
strated poor ethical leadership? Were these
leaders good people gone bad, corrupted by
the attendant wealth and power of the execu-
tive suite? Or were these individuals rotten
from the beginning? Can we develop more
ethical leaders?
Unfortunately, we will never know for
sure why these particular leaders did what
they did. However, business ethicists and
leadership researchers have been studying
leaders (both positive and negative) in order
to develop a better understanding of ethical
leadership in the workplace. Ethical leader-
ship seems easy in theory. After all, if every
leader (and employee) acted honestly, trea-
ted others the way that they wanted to be
treated (i.e., The Golden Rule), and remained
immune to greed, then there would be no
leadership scandals to discuss. Recent events
remind us that ethical leadership is more
difficult in practice.
The simplest and most obvious explana-
tion for the ethical lapses of our business
leaders is poor character, but it would be a
serious mistake to blame all of their misdeeds
on personal weaknesses and defects. In fact,
the tendency to attribute others’ behavior to
individual factors such as character more
frequently than to acknowledge alternative
influences (e.g., peer pressure) on behavior
has a name. Psychologists call it the funda-
mental attribution error, and it occurs fre-
quently whenever people try to explain
why leaders do the things they do.
Clearly, leaders’ character influences
their ethical performance at work. Many
management scholars have emphasized the
role that strong character and principles play
in effective leadership of self and others.
Leaders must rely on their ‘‘inner com-
passes’’ to point them in the right direction.
Without one, a leader is like a captain of a
ship sailing aimlessly along. However, pilot-
ing a ship requires more than a good sense of
direction. Good captains have a good com-
pass and know how to use it, but they also
must know how to sail a ship, motivate a
crew, and manage a journey. Similarly, dec-
ades of research on ethics and leadership

Article--CLS Followership White Paper
This document provides an overview of followership and different types of followers. It discusses how expectations of followers have changed over time as employees want more meaningful work. It also explains that everyone plays the role of follower at some point, and effective followers can become future leaders. The document then covers psychological reasons for why people follow, including cost-benefit analyses, compliance with authority, trust, and identification with leaders. It introduces the Curphy-Roellig model of followership that identifies four types of followers based on their level of critical thinking and engagement: self-starters, brown-nosers, critics, and slackers. Self-starters are described as the most effective followers who are passionate, think of improvements, and solve

Leadership+Lesson1.pdf
This document discusses leadership and the traits of effective leaders. It begins by defining leadership as a social influence within a group to achieve common goals. Theories of leadership are then examined, including the idea that great leaders are born with innate abilities (the "great man" theory) as well as more modern theories that leadership skills can be learned. Key leadership traits identified include consciousness, charisma, intelligence, decision-making skills, flexibility, and emotional intelligence. Modern skills like effective communication, inspiration, strategic thinking, and people development are also discussed. The document concludes that leadership is important for unifying teams to achieve long-term goals.

Discussion 1 (need response)
I agree to an extent, but if you look into Machiavellian leadership more closely you will see that having the welfare of those followers at the forefront is the foundation of this style of leadership. So in short, with this appraoch if your followers aren't succeeding neither are you. However, there is a clear level of exploitation and selfishness. Even though that selfishness benefits the followers, the mindset is skewed and can usher in problems. For example, North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Il could be considered to use Machiavellian leadership, their army is doing very well given the state of North Korea, but that doesn't neccesarily mean the rest of the organization is thriving.
Discussion 1 reply number 2
How do you feel about personally using Machiavellian-Style Leadership? What do you see as some positive and negative aspects of Machiavellian-style leadership?
In 1513, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince as a guide for political leaders and others to use that would foretell to them how to acquire and use power within their profession. “The term Machiavellian is often associated with unscrupulous, even diabolical behavior aimed at increasing ones physical power for personal gain, but in reality, Machiavelli’s essential argument within ThePrince is that the welfare of the state must come first and foremost and that leaders must often do tough, even ruthless things in the spirit of the ends justifying the means” (Daft 366).
Though this type of leadership style is often said to be cruel, many have used it to their advantage to gain success and to have control over their employees. Jeffery Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford University, believed that “despite laudable personal achievements, power and politics almost always trump performance as a source of impact, and so leaders had better be comfortable acquiring and using these tools” (Daft 366). Zia Yusuf, president and CEO of Streetline, Inc., who also used the Machiavellian traits, believed that the Machiavellian traits gave him the “ability to influence people to get them to do what needs to be done” (Daft 366).
While these traits may work for some people, they do not work for them all. I personally am not a fan of the Machiavellian leadership style and prefer a calmer approach to leading others. I do not believe in using my authority to scare others and do not believe in using deceptive measures to protect my organization. To me, these traits are leading your followers to believe that you are rude and untrustworthy because of your actions displaying these means and can give you a negative aspect to how others perceive you. The only positive about it is that people may take your words seriously and do as as told but it is probably out of fear and not because they believe you are honest or sincere.

Abstract
Leaders fail to act accordingly based off theories that are examined in detail explaining the fall of a organization.
Background
Leadership failures can be attributed to theories based off emergence or nature of the particular type or style of leadership. Some theories that are examined are the traditional leadership theory, behavior and leadership styles theory, contingency and situational theory, transactional and transformational theory, comparison of charismatic and transformational leadership and finally the new leadership which represents the servant, spiritual, authentic and ethical style of leadership (
Swanson, C. R., Territo, L., and Taylor, R. W., 2012)
. Many reasons are listed why leaders fail but an effective leader should be developing and effective organization.
Reasons Why Leaders Fail
A leader fails to act because of five different reasons (Haller, C.L., 2010). The first is the interpersonal skills of a leader. If the leader has a poor skill in interpersonal then the leader has lost the ability to inspire their people. Poor communication fails underneath poor interpersonal skills. A well-rounded leader gives feedback to their employees, which correlates a element that produces a high functioning organization. Sometimes leaders fear the confrontation. A good example of side stepping this would be learning the art of verbal judo. The technique allows a employer to hear and understand the feelings but also takes into consideration the feelings of this a particular individual. Part of being a leader is making risk decisions on short notice that may be difficult but may involve address issues with others that closely work around you.
The second reason leaders fail is the inability to adapt and change. Part of the society we now live in requires us to adapt and overcome changes in the world. A good leader must be able to see the good in anything and promote change from within. New situations arise on daily basis and strategies must be formed accordingly in order to embrace the change. The one thing a good leader can count on is constant change in the workplace. I believe this to be especially true in law enforcement. The third reason leaders fail to act is because leaders focus more on self -promotion focusing on being important or powerful. The perception in the workplace is that this type of action is a betrayal of trust and a failure of integrity. The objective focus in this particular leader makes the performance not good enough to succeed but wants a celebrity status in return. Some leaders want what is not theirs and pride themselves as being top dog in a organization. The fourth reason why leaders fail is because of their indecisiveness. A direct result of this is because the leader has alack of confi.

The document discusses various theories of leadership. It defines leadership and discusses early theories including the Great Man theory which proposed that great leaders are born, not made. It also covers trait theories, behavioral theories, contingency theories, and transformational theories. The theories focus on different aspects believed to define leadership such as traits, behaviors, situational factors, and relationships with followers. The document provides examples and limitations of each theory of leadership.
Prominent leadership styles
Lewin's research in the 1930s identified three main leadership styles: authoritarian, participative, and delegative. Authoritarian leadership, also known as autocratic leadership, is characterized by individual control over all decisions with little input from group members. While this style can be effective in situations requiring rapid decisions, it often creates hostile environments and less creative outcomes. Participative leadership, or democratic leadership, encourages group member participation but retains final decision-making authority. This style was found to be the most effective by Lewin. Delegative leadership, also called laissez-faire leadership, offers little guidance and results in poorly defined roles and lack of motivation. Additional research has identified transformational and transactional leadership styles. The optimal
Contemporary leadership styles
This document provides an overview of leadership styles, including traditional vs contemporary definitions. It discusses trait theory, behavioral theories, and situational leadership. Transformational and transactional leadership styles are also compared. Specific leadership styles like autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire are defined. The goal is to help students understand different approaches to leadership and determine their own style.
Respond 1For better detection of the specific fraud I wou.docx
Respond 1:
For better detection of the specific fraud I would have done an intensive approach of the top down structure of the company. While having assessment of the different structural analysis as well as having electronic data management system which can be analyzed plea for observing any kind of destructions into the company would have been my choice for early detection of the specific scandal. By having multiple financial analysis and also having a specific team to analyses the situation as well as having a find eye on the investment from the company would also have been my main motive to create more ethical working environment without any standard.
By implementing new accounting methods and implementing the new risk management strategies would also have been my main concern. Be specific technological advancements as well as implementation of newer strategies into the organization would have directly helped me too early detect this is specific scandal and to overcome the situation.
While having intense Research and analysis over the financial structure of the company, I would have directly increase the level of implementation of risk management strategies as well as analysis strategies which would have been reduced or stopped the specific situation.
Respond 2:
For this weeks discussion, I decided to tackle the Wells Fargo Account Scandals that rocked us back in 2016 that started with then WF CEO Tim Sloan. There were millions of fake accounts that were created so that the bank would look more profitable, all while the higher ups were also taking this money. Many employees were fired as the accounts were created by them under what was dubbed extreme pressure but regardless, employees knew exactly what they were doing was immoral and also very illegal. Personal information was taken from WF customers and credit cards were opened, accounts were opened and the customers didn't find out until they were no longer able to utilize their accounts. What a scummy thing to do and what a terrible way to find out. I have since terminated my banking with WF because I didn't like their customer service and how unhelpful they usually always were. I have also heard from many sources that individuals that work at WF are treated poorly, have poor insurance and the morale is extremely low. So how does it still stay as one of the largest banks? Whistleblowers alerted authorities of stuff like this happening years prior to the scandal. I think that whistleblowers are effective because they never have to feel like there will be repercussions or negativity and it is a way to report and protect your family.

· After learning about the character in the Parker Family case study, imagine that you were the school social worker. Which indicators would you have looked for and why.
There were several indicators discussed in the Parker Family video. The fact that she was a teenager, depressed, and had a lack of family support are three factors that stood out to me. “Suicide among adolescents continues to be a national concern, with over 1,900 children in the United States under the age of 20 dying by suicide annually” (Miers, Abbott, & Springer, 2012). She was also displaying signs of being depressed with her friends by losing interest in activities. This is a big indicator for possible suicide because she isn’t thinking clearly. Finally, after the attempted suicide, not only is she prone to try again but her family didn’t seem to care and acted like everything was fine. Her cry for help was not heard.
· How would you have responded to each of those indicators?
If I knew she was depressed I would have tried to get her in to see her doctor and possibly suggest an antidepressant. With the lack of family support, she could do individual counseling and group therapy to listen to other survivors of attempted suicide and work on an outside support system for herself.
· What kinds of questions would you have asked and why?
I would ask Stephanie about what kinds of things make her sad and happy. Also asking about what she does to help cope with stressful situations. Being able to learn how cope with stress can help to create healthy habits later on.

This document provides an overview of key concepts from chapters in the book Management of Organizational Behavior by Paul Hersey, Kenneth Blanchard, and Dewey E. Johnson related to situational leadership theory. It discusses four leadership styles characterized by varying levels of task behavior and relationship behavior. Situational leadership theory states there is no single best leadership style and the most effective style depends on the readiness level of the followers. The document also summarizes concepts about developing human resources, effective communication, group dynamics, and performance management from the perspective of situational leadership.

1) The document discusses the Relational Leadership Model (RLM) which focuses on developing perspectives on self, organizational membership, and attitudes towards others.
2) RLM has five spheres: Purpose, Inclusive, Empowering, Ethical, and Process. The author provides examples from their career of how they applied each sphere.
3) The author describes an experience in Iraq where they were ordered to steal equipment tags but obtained the information needed through ethical means instead. This demonstrated applying the RLM spheres effectively.
Leadership Traits and Behavioural Theories
This document discusses and compares traits theory and behavioral theory of leadership. Traits theory believes that leaders are born with certain traits, while behavioral theory believes that leadership can be learned through observation and training. Some key differences are outlined in a table. Traits theory focuses on identifying innate qualities, while behavioral theory takes a more scientific approach and sees leadership as something that can be developed. The document examines several leadership styles and theories within each approach, such as McGregor's Theory X and Y. It also provides examples of different leadership traits and behaviors.

Case Study Captain Edith StrongCaptain Strong is the commander .docx
Case Study: Captain Edith Strong
Captain Strong is the commander of a Field Operations Division in the City of Rogerville that has a population of 101,603, and the community covers 65.4 square miles. Captain Strong has worked her way up through the ranks achieving the position of captain after 18 years of service. She is the first woman to hold this high of a position in the department. Prior to this she served as Lieutenant of Administrative Services. The preponderance of her service has been in patrol, where she served as a sergeant and then a watch commander.
Within the department, 65 percent of the officers are white, and the next largest ethnic group is Hispanic, at 27 percent. Seven percent of the force is women. Based on tradition and operational policy, the department has a definitive chain of command and is keyed to job specialization. Patrol officers are assigned to a specific beat and respond to calls, conduct preliminary investigations (when minor crimes are involved), and engage in preventive patrol when time allows. The Bureau of Criminal Investigations conducts all other investigations. Job descriptions are definitive, and everyone follows them religiously. Deviation from a job description results in immediate supervisory action that usually calls for being written-up. The Division handles 62 percent of the police department’s measurable workload and has 58 percent of the manpower.
Within the Division, there is a lieutenant who serves as an adjutant, three lieutenants who serve as watch commanders, a traffic sergeant who supervises six officers, a sergeant who supervises the Neighborhood Police unit that has a complement of 10 officers, three school resource officers, and 71 patrol officers. Officers in the specialized assignment have higher morale and seem well satisfied with their assignments. They have an opportunity to interact with each other and create meaningful and satisfying relationships. Almost all patrol officers feel that their workload is excessive and complain that all they do is go from one incident to the next and spend an inordinate amount of time creating police reports. In fact, they feel that they are unable to complete their preliminary investigations and in many instances have to cut corners in order to complete a shift. Except for backup in certain cases, they never get to interact with fellow officers apart from coming and going to roll-call sessions. Every patrol officer in the department works solo, and departmental police prohibits more than two officer eating meals or taking coffee breaks at the same time in the same restaurant.
The dehumanizing aspect of an excessive workload has taken its toll on the personnel assigned to the patrol division. A survey conducted by a member of the chief’s staff indicates that patrol officers feel in the following ways:
1. The job is viewed as dissatisfying.
2. Morale is low.
3. Response time is long.
4. The number of citizen-initiated complaints is up.

Misconceptions of Ethical Leadership:
How to Avoid Potential
Pitfalls
MICHAEL E. BROWN
C orporate leaders have enjoyed life inthe national spotlight. That spotlight
used to shine brightly on their accomplish-
ments, but today its glare scrutinizes the
ethical misdeeds of far too many business
leaders. Anyone who has followed the wave
of corporate scandals that began with the
collapse of Enron Corp., in 2001, will recog-
nize names like Ken Lay, John Rigas, and
Bernie Ebbers. They are but a few of the high-
profile leaders who fell from grace because of
their involvement in corporate scandals.
With so many examples of leaders behaving
badly, many questions come to mind: Why
have so many of our business leaders demon-
strated poor ethical leadership? Were these
leaders good people gone bad, corrupted by
the attendant wealth and power of the execu-
tive suite? Or were these individuals rotten
from the beginning? Can we develop more
ethical leaders?
Unfortunately, we will never know for
sure why these particular leaders did what
they did. However, business ethicists and
leadership researchers have been studying
leaders (both positive and negative) in order
to develop a better understanding of ethical
leadership in the workplace. Ethical leader-
ship seems easy in theory. After all, if every
leader (and employee) acted honestly, trea-
ted others the way that they wanted to be
treated (i.e., The Golden Rule), and remained
immune to greed, then there would be no
leadership scandals to discuss. Recent events
remind us that ethical leadership is more
difficult in practice.
The simplest and most obvious explana-
tion for the ethical lapses of our business
leaders is poor character, but it would be a
serious mistake to blame all of their misdeeds
on personal weaknesses and defects. In fact,
the tendency to attribute others’ behavior to
individual factors such as character more
frequently than to acknowledge alternative
influences (e.g., peer pressure) on behavior
has a name. Psychologists call it the funda-
mental attribution error, and it occurs fre-
quently whenever people try to explain
why leaders do the things they do.
Clearly, leaders’ character influences
their ethical performance at work. Many
management scholars have emphasized the
role that strong character and principles play
in effective leadership of self and others.
Leaders must rely on their ‘‘inner com-
passes’’ to point them in the right direction.
Without one, a leader is like a captain of a
ship sailing aimlessly along. However, pilot-
ing a ship requires more than a good sense of
direction. Good captains have a good com-
pass and know how to use it, but they also
must know how to sail a ship, motivate a
crew, and manage a journey. Similarly, dec-

This document provides an overview of followership and different types of followers. It discusses how expectations of followers have changed over time as employees want more meaningful work. It also explains that everyone plays the role of follower at some point, and effective followers can become future leaders. The document then covers psychological reasons for why people follow, including cost-benefit analyses, compliance with authority, trust, and identification with leaders. It introduces the Curphy-Roellig model of followership that identifies four types of followers based on their level of critical thinking and engagement: self-starters, brown-nosers, critics, and slackers. Self-starters are described as the most effective followers who are passionate, think of improvements, and solve

1) There are different theories of leadership including trait theory, behavioral theory, contingency theory and situational theory.
2) Common leadership styles discussed are authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire.
3) Additional models covered include Fiedler's contingency model, path-goal theory, the managerial grid, and Likert's leadership systems.
4) Factors that influence leadership effectiveness include the leader, followers, communication skills, and adapting to different situations.
Leadership+Lesson1.pdf
This document discusses leadership and the traits of effective leaders. It begins by defining leadership as a social influence within a group to achieve common goals. Theories of leadership are then examined, including the idea that great leaders are born with innate abilities (the "great man" theory) as well as more modern theories that leadership skills can be learned. Key leadership traits identified include consciousness, charisma, intelligence, decision-making skills, flexibility, and emotional intelligence. Modern skills like effective communication, inspiration, strategic thinking, and people development are also discussed. The document concludes that leadership is important for unifying teams to achieve long-term goals.

Discussion 1 (need response)
I agree to an extent, but if you look into Machiavellian leadership more closely you will see that having the welfare of those followers at the forefront is the foundation of this style of leadership. So in short, with this appraoch if your followers aren't succeeding neither are you. However, there is a clear level of exploitation and selfishness. Even though that selfishness benefits the followers, the mindset is skewed and can usher in problems. For example, North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Il could be considered to use Machiavellian leadership, their army is doing very well given the state of North Korea, but that doesn't neccesarily mean the rest of the organization is thriving.
Discussion 1 reply number 2
How do you feel about personally using Machiavellian-Style Leadership? What do you see as some positive and negative aspects of Machiavellian-style leadership?
In 1513, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince as a guide for political leaders and others to use that would foretell to them how to acquire and use power within their profession. “The term Machiavellian is often associated with unscrupulous, even diabolical behavior aimed at increasing ones physical power for personal gain, but in reality, Machiavelli’s essential argument within ThePrince is that the welfare of the state must come first and foremost and that leaders must often do tough, even ruthless things in the spirit of the ends justifying the means” (Daft 366).
Though this type of leadership style is often said to be cruel, many have used it to their advantage to gain success and to have control over their employees. Jeffery Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford University, believed that “despite laudable personal achievements, power and politics almost always trump performance as a source of impact, and so leaders had better be comfortable acquiring and using these tools” (Daft 366). Zia Yusuf, president and CEO of Streetline, Inc., who also used the Machiavellian traits, believed that the Machiavellian traits gave him the “ability to influence people to get them to do what needs to be done” (Daft 366).
While these traits may work for some people, they do not work for them all. I personally am not a fan of the Machiavellian leadership style and prefer a calmer approach to leading others. I do not believe in using my authority to scare others and do not believe in using deceptive measures to protect my organization. To me, these traits are leading your followers to believe that you are rude and untrustworthy because of your actions displaying these means and can give you a negative aspect to how others perceive you. The only positive about it is that people may take your words seriously and do as as told but it is probably out of fear and not because they believe you are honest or sincere.

Abstract
Leaders fail to act accordingly based off theories that are examined in detail explaining the fall of a organization.
Background
Leadership failures can be attributed to theories based off emergence or nature of the particular type or style of leadership. Some theories that are examined are the traditional leadership theory, behavior and leadership styles theory, contingency and situational theory, transactional and transformational theory, comparison of charismatic and transformational leadership and finally the new leadership which represents the servant, spiritual, authentic and ethical style of leadership (
Swanson, C. R., Territo, L., and Taylor, R. W., 2012)
. Many reasons are listed why leaders fail but an effective leader should be developing and effective organization.
Reasons Why Leaders Fail
A leader fails to act because of five different reasons (Haller, C.L., 2010). The first is the interpersonal skills of a leader. If the leader has a poor skill in interpersonal then the leader has lost the ability to inspire their people. Poor communication fails underneath poor interpersonal skills. A well-rounded leader gives feedback to their employees, which correlates a element that produces a high functioning organization. Sometimes leaders fear the confrontation. A good example of side stepping this would be learning the art of verbal judo. The technique allows a employer to hear and understand the feelings but also takes into consideration the feelings of this a particular individual. Part of being a leader is making risk decisions on short notice that may be difficult but may involve address issues with others that closely work around you.
The second reason leaders fail is the inability to adapt and change. Part of the society we now live in requires us to adapt and overcome changes in the world. A good leader must be able to see the good in anything and promote change from within. New situations arise on daily basis and strategies must be formed accordingly in order to embrace the change. The one thing a good leader can count on is constant change in the workplace. I believe this to be especially true in law enforcement. The third reason leaders fail to act is because leaders focus more on self -promotion focusing on being important or powerful. The perception in the workplace is that this type of action is a betrayal of trust and a failure of integrity. The objective focus in this particular leader makes the performance not good enough to succeed but wants a celebrity status in return. Some leaders want what is not theirs and pride themselves as being top dog in a organization. The fourth reason why leaders fail is because of their indecisiveness. A direct result of this is because the leader has alack of confi.

The document discusses various theories of leadership. It defines leadership and discusses early theories including the Great Man theory which proposed that great leaders are born, not made. It also covers trait theories, behavioral theories, contingency theories, and transformational theories. The theories focus on different aspects believed to define leadership such as traits, behaviors, situational factors, and relationships with followers. The document provides examples and limitations of each theory of leadership.
Prominent leadership styles
Lewin's research in the 1930s identified three main leadership styles: authoritarian, participative, and delegative. Authoritarian leadership, also known as autocratic leadership, is characterized by individual control over all decisions with little input from group members. While this style can be effective in situations requiring rapid decisions, it often creates hostile environments and less creative outcomes. Participative leadership, or democratic leadership, encourages group member participation but retains final decision-making authority. This style was found to be the most effective by Lewin. Delegative leadership, also called laissez-faire leadership, offers little guidance and results in poorly defined roles and lack of motivation. Additional research has identified transformational and transactional leadership styles. The optimal
Contemporary leadership styles
This document provides an overview of leadership styles, including traditional vs contemporary definitions. It discusses trait theory, behavioral theories, and situational leadership. Transformational and transactional leadership styles are also compared. Specific leadership styles like autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire are defined. The goal is to help students understand different approaches to leadership and determine their own style.

For better detection of the specific fraud I would have done an intensive approach of the top down structure of the company. While having assessment of the different structural analysis as well as having electronic data management system which can be analyzed plea for observing any kind of destructions into the company would have been my choice for early detection of the specific scandal. By having multiple financial analysis and also having a specific team to analyses the situation as well as having a find eye on the investment from the company would also have been my main motive to create more ethical working environment without any standard.
By implementing new accounting methods and implementing the new risk management strategies would also have been my main concern. Be specific technological advancements as well as implementation of newer strategies into the organization would have directly helped me too early detect this is specific scandal and to overcome the situation.
While having intense Research and analysis over the financial structure of the company, I would have directly increase the level of implementation of risk management strategies as well as analysis strategies which would have been reduced or stopped the specific situation.

Respond 1The AICPA Code of Conduct is based on six princi.docx
Respond 1:
The AICPA Code of Conduct is based on six principles; (1) responsibilities (2) serve the public interest (3) integrity (4) objectivity and independence (5) due care and (6) scope and nature of services. These principles are required practices for all certified public accountants who are members of the AICPA.
1. Responsibilities: Every professional has the obligation and duty to perform every action in order to complete the tasks that were assigned. All members need to work together to ensure that all responsibilities are met in a timely and respective manner.
2. Integrity: This principle can be easily violated by professionals as they can perform actions that are deemed inappropriate. Professionals need to be honest in their work and follow the code of conduct principles. Integrity also is a characteristic of the person performing the action.
Respond 2
The Professional conduct standards that the AICPA members must adhere to are Responsibilities, The Public Interest, Integrity, Objectivity and Independence and Due Care. In my opinion the most violated standards are Responsibility and objectivity and independence.
Responsibility: Often times people forget the responsibility they have to report certain things to shareholders and the general public. Sometimes accountants get caught up in pleasing certain shareholders or even trying to gain from a company that they violate the responsibility of reporting the truth and doing what they were hired to do! They have a responsibility to report on mishandling of money or any issues that may raise a red flag, but often times they just turn a blind eye.
Objectivity and independence: Under the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, in the performance of any professional service, a member must maintain objectivity and integrity, shall be free of conflicts of interest, and shall not knowingly misrepresent facts. It is really hard to be objective and not biases in this day and age. With the internet and social media, you often come across information that causes you to be objective without even realizing it. But they should try not to have conflict of interest and this is the part that most people violate. Conflict of interest can be as simple as having stock in the company you are an accountant for.

The researcher faced an ethical dilemma in their study due to a lack of informed consent when only one of the intended three classes participated. This compromised the study results, as the data did not represent all three classes as intended. To resolve this, the researchers should have obtained proper informed consent from participants and ensured the data collection process represented all classes to avoid biasing the results.

Maximizing long term shareholder value is one of the objectives many businesses have in determining their growth and success. Shareholders are regarded as the owners of the companies and so, their worth should always be given the top priority before any other business is considered. However, when corporations act ethically by contributing towards their immediate societies through corporate social responsibility initiatives, they are seen to disregard the shareholder wealth maximization objective. Organizations should strike a balance between community based charity initiatives and taking care of their real owners. Firms that fail to maximize the wealth of their owners have always been at loggerheads and may end up losing their worth in the market. Adding more value to the society than it is to the company may mean lack of understanding of the company and its objectives which is also another recipe for long term failure.
This concept is far more important to businesses, society and individuals in that its understanding facilitates proper coordination between the three extremes. The best position to approach this issue is from Mackey whose ideas stress on the need to balance between organizational objectives and societal needs. According to Hartman, DesJardins, & MacDonald, (2018). When the long-term shareholder value is fully maximized, attention should then focus on the societal needs based on their urgency. Individuals will have a better understanding of the firm, its objectives and the focal areas before its attention is shifted to those outside its realms. Additionally, the society will know where the focus of the organization is and develop a framework that will cater for their needs, instead of depending on the corporation for all their needs.

There are many corporations throughout the world that are successful and some that go under. The ones that survived are the ones that create items that society needs, but also sell their product at a price that people can afford. The job of business managers is to make sure that the company’s investing in technology, buying or maintaining equipment, process running correctly, people are working efficiently, and facilities are in working order. On top of that, workers need to be provided with fair wages and good benefits. If workers feel that they are not getting treated right, they might refuse to work for the company or go on strike. These means that products for that company will not be created and the stock prices start falling. All of these items required money, money helps create the products and money in needed to pay workers. Some of the money is from shareholders, which could also be used for investments. The more shareholders buy stocks, the more money than can flow into the company for expansion of facilities, equipment, human capital, an.

Agenda setting is a huge process that involves many steps. According to (Cobb, 2020), agenda setting takes three “streams”, these streams have to work together before a policy problem makes it on the agenda. These three streams are a problem, the solution presented, and the “political will to deal with it.” These three streams can involve a lot of work. First you have a problem, this problem is determined to be a problem by the citizens, government, etc. They prove it is a problem with data to support as evidence. This process alone is lengthy, requires a lot of research and data collection. Next is the solution, sometimes this may be the hardest part. We can have issues with a current policy but, not have a solution to change the policy. Then last you have to have the political support and willingness to deal with the issue. After these three streams are working together, then getting it put on the agenda take persistence and someone to push for it.
Who would be an agenda maker? This could be several people. For one, progressives, these people feel strong about an issue and are persistent to push for change. Senate members also set agendas. They are presented with the problem and solution by regional government officials from state to state. These issues may include for example, the need for a COVID vaccine in Kentucky. This is the problem, with evidence of the number of COVID cases in the region. The solution is to obtain the vaccines, providing the statistics and resources to get them. Then the willingness for the senate member to work with this issue. According to (Milken, 2020), there are several different vaccines available, one being DNA based vaccination and another being inactivated virus. These are two vaccines that will be available in the next couple weeks. This agenda setting was successful, vaccines are being distributed now. The reason for the success was due to the mass casualties and illnesses reported all over the region.

The two influences that have changed the nature of work are the continually evolving technology and all kinds of researched and invented tests. In the 1990s job performance was still searching for predictors that show workplace standard performance (Borman, Ilgen, & Klimoski, 2003). The world of work most importantly in the industrial and organizational psychology field focuses on human behavior in the workplace with the help of technology. New software’s and fast technologies have made an incredible change in the workplace and how the roles become more efficient and cost-effective in organizations. Databases and networking technology make it possible for operations to function effectively (Bridges, 1994). Additionally, new technology allows us to create automate both assembly and production lines to help cut human labor to increase production. As we grow in our work environments, services and technologies along with new trends have allowed the workforce to emerge and grow. The economy is on the rise with different organizations and firms
Historically providing testing for different reasons still questions the data obtained and the variables. Researchers have done very well isolating tests to perform what it is intended to measure. Testing is used widely to fill certain job positions and seek certain characteristics in an individual for specialized careers.

The French doctor specialized in a neurological lab in Paris then went to explore the field of psychology (Binet’s Intelligence Test, n.d.).

Main Discussion
ADHD Parent Guide
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined as a chronic neurological disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity. In 2016, it is estimated that 6.1 million or 9.4% of children had a diagnosis of ADHD (
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
, n.d.). A diagnosis of ADHD can be both confusing and welcomed. Confusing because the details of the diagnosis are unknown but welcomed because the parents and child finally have a “why” for the child’s difficulties. This parent guide will discuss the pathophysiolology, diagnosing, signs/symptoms, treatment options, and other aspects involved in an ADHD diagnosis.
Pathophysiology
Many research studies suggest ADHD may be caused by interactions between genes and environmental or non-genetic factors. Many cases of ADHD have a genetic origin. A child is 50% more likely to have ADHD if their parent was diagnosed with the condition and 25% of the children with ADHD have parents who have met the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD. Other factors that can contribute to ADHD is substance use, low birth weight, brain injuries and exposure to some environmental toxins.
ADHD is a result of neurotransmitter disease dysfunction, that effect dopamine and norepinephrine. Dopamine has a role in a person's ability to learn and reinforcing trained response to various situations. Dopamine also plays and important role in "working memory"(
Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
, 2004). Norepinephrine effects a person's alertness and attention. Norepinephrine is activated by novel and important stimuli and are quiescent during sleep.
Environmental factors of ADHD is a result of a toxin such as lead or other nuero-toxic substances that may result in delayed development of the child's brain before, during or birth. Substance abuse is a very common cause of pre- and perinatal factors that may result in ADHD. Exposure of the fetus to alcohol is associated with a reduction in the volume of the prefrontal and temporal cortices, the brain areas involved in regulation of attention and control of impulsivity. (
Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Diagnosing ADHD
While there is no single test to diagnosis ADHD, there are ways to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
Who diagnosis ADHD?
There are many health care professionals who are qualified to diagnose ADHD. These professionals include but are not limited to psychiatrist, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), licensed master social worker (LMSW), licensed professional counselor (LPC), neurologist, pediatricians, and primary care physicians. If there is a concern that a ch.

Respond agree or disagree
Vulnerabilities in system design can be detrimental to any network, large or small any flaw that can be exploited should not be taken lightly. Engineers generally assume that mechanisms serve their intended purpose. Is that always true? The “smarter” something is, the quicker we lose control and become fully dependent on it (Trofimova & Hoske, 2016).
A vulnerability I found is a trust assumption and that is when a designer is aware of a security weakness and determining that a separate security control would compensate for it. However, trust assumptions are often implicit, such as creating a feature without first evaluating the risks it would introduce (Mozilla, 2018). This is something that when designing your system to not underestimate because as the article stated, these assumptions are often complicit and don't take every risk into account which could leave a window open to your system.
Another is always consider the users, this means when designing your network take into account the people that will be using it on a daily basis (IEEE, 2014) Every system is different and complex and therefore requires the designer to know who his users are. The security stance of a software system is inextricably linked to what its users do with it. It is therefore very important that all security-related mechanisms are designed in a manner that makes it easy to deploy, configure, use, and update the system securely. Remember, security is not a feature that can simply be added to a software system, but rather a property emerging from how the system was built and is operated (IEEE, 2014).

System design vulnerabilities occurs very often and attackers or exploit hunters are always on the hunt for any opportunities that are presented. During the process a product is being developed it is very important to incorporate cybersecurity and quality control teams. This incorporation has brought a new wave that I have seen and currently experiencing in my current role, DevOps. DevOps is a team where Developers and Operations work together to produce a finished product that has been through QA and cybersecurity teams have also made suggestions and participated during the production.
Developers are great at what they do, but often they forfeit some security best practice to make something on their end work. Also, the risk of developers to forget, or simply disregard any input validation thro.

Being the future of this field it is important to understand, recall, and reflect on the historical significance of those who have pioneered the trails that we shall follow. Within historical bounds it is important to understand and have a working knowledge of the work that those pioneers have performed ahead of us, which will all for a better product of consultation. When I recall historical significance within our field I think of the work of Dr. Stanley Silverman and how he was instrumental in the development of the WARS system. The WARS system was developed in conjunction with the University of Michigan in efforts to identify arrogance within organizational leadership. It has been fabled (and later proven fact) that good team members do not typically leave jobs they enjoy, rather the cause of departure is leadership they have problems. The works of Dr. Stanley have proven these speculations time and time again, through his works with some of the most public institutions known today (ie: Disney Entertainment). Through the development of items such as the WARS system work place synergism has been possible for many organizations when faced with adversity within a chain of command and/or leadership structure.
I have been employed in public service for nearly 20 years (it is truly the only career I have ever known). I like many of my tenured colleagues have rose through our ranks from entry level paramedics to high ranking leadership positions. I no longer have high ranking "brass" ever since I decided to modify my career path in efforts to lessen demands and stress. I now fly on medical helicopters in PA and NJ as a crew member which allows my to pursue my true passions of medicine and aviation. The organization which I was part of the prior leadership structure had many safe guards in place to ensure that we all worked as a team in addition to staying "grounded" as managers with certain types of authorities that the "rank and file" did not. We met twice a year with a consultant from Penn State University who would lead various discussion on effective communication. The results which we experienced in staff satisfaction surveys in addition to annual reviews proved to us that this basic training was needed and was effective.

Respond agree or disagree
There is still an argument that whether the cloud system provides better security or not. The author clearly states that, the risk management depends on the deployment factors and security infrastructure existing in the organization. The writer also indicates about risk equation to evaluate the pros and cons of cloud regarding risk management and vulnerability (Lindstrom, 2015).
Pros of Cloud in Risk Management and Vulnerability
Scale and Flexibility: Since the need for cloud increases, the importance of managing vulnerability, considering risk management and other important factors also grows dramatically (Zhang, 2017).
Coverage and Visibility: In cloud system, there is a high possibility of coverage and visibility of assets, security and polices and guidelines that will help to understand the risk management and vulnerability of the cloud (Zhang, 2017)
Proactive Response: Security can be embedded during deployment and will provide a better protection method proactively (Zhang, 2017).
Cons of Cloud in Risk Management and Vulnerability
Change in Level of Threat: Due to the availability of the data to more people, there is more activity going on. Attackers use this opportunity to find vulnerability and make an attack. The threat increases once the data is available in the internet (Lindstrom, 2015).
Attackers Cost Benefit: Attackers do not spend more time by research and training. They always calculate their benefit. So, when data is available in the cloud, hackers will get good opportunity to attack the cloud (Lindstrom, 2015).
Deployment Risk: There is a high chance of vulnerability when the application environment is moving from the legacy system to highly distributed, virtualized architecture. The author also explains the possibility of collateral damage simply because the public cloud system is shared with others (Lindstrom, 2015).

Respond 250
Do you think IGOs create a convergence of state interest?
Convergence of state interest goes along the same line as socialization with both influenced by interact with other entities (Greenhill 2010, Tanninchev 2015). I think of two examples; US/Soviet cessation of the Cold War (Horelick 1989) and the UK/North Ireland Good Friday Agreement (Mageean and O’Brien 1998).
Since the inception of the Cold War, the US and Soviet Union faced off across the globe both economically (free market versus communism) and militarily (the Cuban Missle Crisis nearly escalated into nuclear war). Robert McNamara, for Secretary of Defense under President Johnson agrued “that the more each reacted to the other’s escalation, the more they had chosen “an insane road to follow.” (Department of State n.d.). Both countries distrusted one another deeply and sought influence around the globe. SALT I and II (never ratified but agreed upon) sought to limit further escalation and stabilize relations (ibid).
The Good Friday Agreements (Kelly n.d.) brought an end to the period known as The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Factions on both sides, Westminister and Belfast, finally agreed to end hostilities with consessions made on both sides. The landmark deal, chaired by Senator George Mitchell at the behest of President Clinton, was the first unification step subsequently follwoed by several other agreements (Landow and Sergie 2020).
This question recalled just one country and its effort towards socialization and that is post WWII Germany. By any reasonable standard, Germany’s post war reconciliation (Rienzi 2015, Johns Hopkins 2015) and reintegration into the global community is the benchmark for other countries to emulate (Evans 2018). Its turn around post-World War II enabled it to be a world leader today. Greenhill (2010) determined, “IGOs can change state behavior through a process of socialization calls for a more optimistic assessment of the effects of participation in international institutions”. In Germany’s case, he is on point though it was considerable internal effort that put the country toward its current status (Rienzi 2015, Johns Hopkins 2015, Evans 2018). His basic point is laying with dogs will get you fleas.
I believe, overall, this is true. Greenhill states, “...socialization effects refer to behavioral changes that presumably come about through changes in the actors’ interest” (2010). However, outliers show the limited effect of OIGs. Russia, North Korea and China, are all members of numerous IGOs but all still have questionable human rights records (HRW n.d.) (HRW n.d.) (HRW n.d.). They are certainly not the only countries with questionable records but, I observe, they are the ones most focused on by the international community. Socialization can occurs but the countries must pursue change, sometimes with help (sanctions) (McMahon 2006), and sometimes with internal forces (Rienzi 2015).
This question certain.

How does the role and purpose of the modern union need to be redefined to effectively serve its membership?
“Unions must work to maximize solidarity by empowering unit members, and prioritizing issues based on worker perspectives, unit composition, and geography” (Herbert, 2019). With the option to opt out of the union along with the dues (in the public sector), the employee needs to see the value of remaining in the bargaining unit. This means that the union must be responsive to members concerns at the local level.
How does the presence of a union influence the job of the HR professional?
In my current position as an HR professional, I work with 8 different unions as well as a group that is unrepresented. Each group has its own pay scales and benefits package that they have negotiated. I have to make sure that they are implemented and maintained correctly. This can be complicated with each group having different rules for overtime, step increases, longevity, paid time off, and special pay for certain duties. We have policies but the collective bargaining agreements (CBA) supersede some of them. When an issue arises, I look at the appropriate CBA and relevant policies to determine the correct course of action. When supervisors meet with employees and the meeting could lead to corrective action, the employee has the right to have a representative from the union at the meeting. This requires that meetings be planned and scheduled. When a contract comes up for bargaining, HR is at the table and it requires significant work in preparing data and negotiating. We also have to make sure that our non-represented group has fair and equitable treatment even though they are not represented.

Respond 1Impetigo The purpose of this discussion is to revie.docx
Respond 1
Impetigo
The purpose of this discussion is to review impetigo. Impetigo can be mistaken for other skin conditions such as herpes simplex. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify what it is. Impetigo is a skin disorder that is superficial in nature. It can spread from person to person and on other parts of the body (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2020).
Pathophysiology
The main form of transmission is direct contact. The infection is caused by bacteria (CDC, 2020). Staphylococcus aureus is the main causative agent in older children. Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci also causes impetigo (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). Interruption in the skin barrier allows the bacteria to access fibronectin receptors in the skin, which is needed for colonization (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Infection is further spread by itching due to the irritable nature of the lesions. Autoinoculation with hand creates more vesicles (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018).
The Most Common Presenting Symptoms
Impetigo can be found on any part of the body (CDC, 2020). However, it is mostly seen on the face (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). Small red vesicles quickly become larger. The vesicles break open and forms a yellowish-brown crust. Liquid with honey colored appearance is seen under the crusts (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018).
Routinely Diagnosed
Impetigo is diagnosed by initial observation of an abnormality in the skin during a physical exam. The diagnosis can be confirmed with a bacterial culture, especially if there is an epidemic or if methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) is a concern. A biopsy of the skin can be obtained in some cases of untreatable impetigo (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Serologic testing for streptococcus antibodies is not done since anti-streptolysin O (ASO) response is not strong enough for diagnosing impetigo in this manner. Nonetheless, it can be used in conditions where
post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is questioned for patients who had a new outbreak of impetigo (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Otherwise lab testing is not needed (CDC, 2020).
Standard Treatment Plan
Impetigo is managed with antibiotics since it is a bacterial infection. Administration of antibiotic drugs is needed in cases where the infection is extensive. Otherwise the topical cream is prescribed when the infection is in a mild state (Hubert & VanMeter, 2018). If left untreated, the infection will resolve on its own. However, treatment with antibiotics decreases complications (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020). Prior to applying topical antibiotic cream, soap and water should be used to remove the crust. The treatment of choice with antibiotic cream are mupirocin, retapamulin, and fusidic acid. Otherwise, preferred treatment with systemic antibiotics are amoxicillin-clavulanate, cephalosporins, dicloxacillin (Nardi & Schaefer, 2020).

- 1. Responce at least 50 words Why Leaders Fail Robby Colbert Saint Leo University July 23, 2014 Abstract This paper will be a brief examination of the theories behind why leaders of organizations fail to act, or fail to lead in times when action is called for. Key words: leadership. What is a leader? According to the online resource Dictionary.com a leader is a person or thing that leads; a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group. ( Online Etymology Dictionary, n.d.) And to lead has many definitions, part of which state: to go before or with to show the way; to influence or induce; to guide in direction, course, action, opinion, etc. ( Encyclopedia Britannica , n.d.) Now that we have established that a leader is someone who leads others, who influences decisions, who guides others and shows the way, we can explore the reasons why a leader fails to take the appropriate actions or fails to lead. Some of this can be explained by fear, a lack of training, a lack of information, information overload and many other psychological or physiological reasons.
- 2. When dealing in the realm of law enforcement leaders we need to define the three main styles of leadership. In their seminal work on leadership Lewin, Lippitt and White (1939) listed the leadership styles as authoritarian, democratic, and laissez- faire. The authoritarian style is also known as the autocratic style and is characterized as being totally one sided. The leader who utilizes this style makes all the decisions with very little or no outside influence or consultation. The second style is the democratic style and is characterized by engaging other members and soliciting their input in decisions that could have an effect on their organization. And the last style is one that is very seldom used in the realm of law enforcement since it is characterized more by a lack of decision making and inaction; some call this a hands-off approach. This style of leadership is one that does not produce action and has the tendency to be seen as a weakness on the part of the leader. Due to the dynamic nature of law enforcement leadership one seldom finds this style in senior members of a law enforcement agency. (Swanson, Territo and Taylor, 2012) Some leaders fail to lead out of a sense of fear. At times doing nothing seems like a better option than making a decision that can be dissected in hindsight. At other times those who have risen to a position of power become caught up in the way things have always worked in the past and fail to adapt to the changing environment in business or public service. There are occasions when leaders fail to lead by neglecting the established rules or by defending the actions of subordinates before they have a chance to gather all of the information necessary to make an informed decision. A sergeant and the Chief of Police for the Newport News Police Department were caught up in such a situation in January 1994. The northern end of Newport News, VA is known as Denbigh. Denbigh was experiencing a rash of pizza delivery robberies. The modus operandi (M. O.) was that someone would call one of the pizza delivery companies delivering in that area and
- 3. order a pizza to be delivered to an apartment complex. When the delivery driver arrived in the area the suspect would display a weapon and rob the driver of the pizza and any money he was carrying. On the evening of January 12, 1994 a call was received that matched the M. O. of the previous robberies. The sergeant on duty that evening placed a hastily designed plan into action. It called for an officer to act as the delivery driver and to have a back-up officer concealed in the delivery vehicle and additional officers strategically placed around the area. The officer who volunteered to act as the driver that evening was Steven Rutherford. Officer Rutherford dressed in the uniform of the delivery driver with his back-up concealed in the car drove to the apartment complex. Upon arrival he was met by a suspect who proceeded to display a weapon and rob Officer Rutherford. At some point the suspect fired several shots at Officer Rutherford before any of the back-up officers could react. Officer Rutherford was struck in his side in an area not covered by his ballistic vest and died at the hospital. During the next couple of days, prior to the completion of the internal investigation, the Chief of Police made several statements during press conferences defending the operation and at one point calling it a “textbook” undercover operation. The internal investigation did not corroborate the Chief’s and revealed several errors that were made by the supervisors on scene. As a result of the investigation the sergeant was terminated and due to a loss of confidence in his abilities, the Chief of Police was asked to resign. Another reason leaders fail is because of information overload or, as it has been called by some, analysis paralysis. Owen Harari wrote an article that was published in the journal Management Review on the leadership philosophies of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and later Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Lesson 15 of 18 states: “Part I: Use the formula P=40 to 70, in which P stands for the probability of success and the numbers indicate the percentage of information
- 4. acquired. Part II: Once the information is in the 40 to 70 range, go with your gut." Powell's advice is don't take action if you have only enough information to give you less than a 40 percent chance of being right, but don't wait until you have enough facts to be 100 percent sure, because by then it is almost always too late. (Harari, 1996) Conclusion A leader’s job is to lead. This may sound simplistic, but the alternative is to have everyone running around doing their own thing. Leaders set the example from the front. Men like General Colin Powell who are not afraid to make the hard, right choice instead of the easy wrong choice are the reason our country has excelled and is the model that others strive for. Leaders must not be afraid to make difficult decisions.
