Coaching
Coaching
and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.
According to the article Emotional Intelligence and Effective Leade.docxkeiran409es
According to the article “Emotional Intelligence and Effective Leadership”, one of the most important constructs in leadership today is the concept and application of emotional intelligence (EI). Imagine that you are an internal consultant to an organization of your choosing and the CEO has tasked you with preparing a presentation for the Board of Directors on what emotional intelligence is, and its influence on leadership and the people within the organization. You will create the presentation using PowerPoint or other equivalent software.
Note

Organizational Foundations
As you strive to grow in your leadership skills and abilities, you will find that the context in which you work influences your motivation and areas of focus. In a similar vein, your commitment to developing professionally can contribute toward organizational effectiveness.
To that end, it is critical to recognize the importance of organizational culture and climate. In particular, through this week’s Learning Resources, you may consider several questions: How do an organization’s mission, vision, and values relate to its culture? What is the difference between culture and climate? Moreover, how are culture and climate manifested within the organization?
For this Discussion, you explore the culture and climate of your current organization or one with which you are familiar. You also consider decisions and day-to-day practices and the way they relate to the organization’s mission, vision, and values.
To prepare:
·
Review the information related to planning and decision making in health care organizations presented in the textbook,
Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application.
Consider how planning and decision making relate to an organization’s mission, vision, and values, as well as its culture and its climate.
·
Familiarize yourself with the mission, vision, and values of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the statements and actions of leaders and others within the organization support or demonstrate the organizational mission, vision, and values. In addition, note any apparent discrepancies between word and deed. Think about how this translates into expectations for direct service providers. Note any data or artifacts that seem to indicate whether behaviors within the organization are congruent with its mission, vision, and values.
·
Begin to examine and reflect on the culture and climate of the organization. How do culture and climate differ?
·
Why is it important for you, as a master’s-prepared nurse leader, to be cognizant of these matters?

· Final Personal Leadership Portrait
Your last project assignment, Final Personal Leadership Portrait, is due at the end of this unit. You will synthesize all aspects of leadership and communication that you have examined and discussed in the course and analyze your own leadership qualities to create a portrait of the effective public service leader you aspire to be.
Since this assignment requires you to develop a self-portrait, you may write this paper in first-person voice. Note:It is very important for your academic development that you recognize that writing in the first person is not usually acceptable in academic papers. However, given the nature of this assignment, it has been deemed appropriate to make an exception here. Please remember that the third-person voice is the universal norm in academic writing. You should always exercise careful consideration before departing from this norm.
Your course project must be completed in its entirety. By now, you have received feedback from your Writing Coach and your instructor, which you should incorporate into this revised assignment.
Refer to the results of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and the communication style self-assessment you completed in Units 1 and 2. Be sure to review and use the Writing Coach and Instructor feedback you received on your previous assignments as well:
· Unit 3: Communication and Organizational Effectiveness.
· Unit 5: Communicating and Leading for Change and Innovation.
· Unit 6: Developing Ethical and Authentic Leadership Behavior.
· Unit 7: Draft of Personal Leadership Portrait assignments.
For this assignment:
· Analyze one or more leadership styles and corresponding leadership theories based on the unit readings and your MLQ assessment results that you believe best align with personal leadership effectiveness.
I will like to focus the leadership style on an innovation leader and the transformational leader, and please use leadership theories on these types of leaders. You can just focus on the leadership style I possess which is transformational leader.
In the beginning of this course, I consider myself a democratic/participative leader, who would ideally like to become a transformational leader. This is the type of leader that is able to motivate others to become more or do more than they intended. This leader sets challenging expectations and higher performance. I believed that since this course starts I am more of a transformational leader, but also participative. The MLQ assessment shows me as a transformational leader.
Analyze one or more communication styles based on the unit readings and the results of your communication style self-assessment that you believe best align with personal communication effectiveness. There are various communication strategies for relaying information. Information can be conveyed verbally, nonverbally, or ...
Hate Crimes are crimes committed by persons that are in large paJeanmarieColbert3
"Hate Crimes" are crimes committed by persons that are in large part motivated by the victims religion, ethnicity, race, orientaton, and so on. Do you support legislation that increases the penalties for crimes if the state proves the crime was indeed a "hate crime". Why do you, and perhaps others, support this type of legislation? Why be against this legislation? What might be the legal, constitutional, or fundemental issues of punishing a person more, because of the reason(s) they committed a crime?

Leadership Self-Assessment
Leadership is defined in many ways by many people. Some believe it can be learned, some believe it is innate or intuitive. The amount
of recent literature devoted to the theme of leadership is tremendous. When you examine the literature you will notice there are
endless opinions about what leadership is, how leaders are developed, the psychological factors associated with leadership, the traits
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.

This will contain the background of both leaders. This is how I want your paper turned in. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. Remember, this is to be a perspective on leadership that requires you to perform research and analysis into how these leaders viewed themselves, and how others viewed them.
This will probably be a few paragraphs. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Cite authors. You should NOT write “According to his book” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Instead, use “According to Kouzes and Posner (2017), ...”
The paper should be written in third person narrative. You will NOT use the first person or the second person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded. One other note: an organization is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing an organization.

This activity serves as a final assessment for the course. It provides you the opportunity to demonstrate how well you have achieved the learning outcomes of the course. You are to provide your knowledge of the strategic and administrative function of Human Resources by thinking about the situation of Southwest Airlines recent merger and their expansion.
Deliverable:
Read and reflect on the case study below and prepare a response paper of not less than five pages (excluding title and reference pages) with appropriate in text citations. Demonstrate your research and analytical skills in developing your comprehensive paper by using the organizations website and outside articles written about the organization to supplement the information provided in the case study. However, the case study is unique in that it is focused on the HR ramifications and most of the outside reports you will locate articulate the business side of the merger or expansion possibilities. Tailor your paper to the HR ramifications of the merger and expansion.
Keep in mind that the purpose of this final assessment is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the strategic and administrative function of Human Resources. While the business side of the situation is the foundation, it is the command of the needed tasks and role for the Human Resource function that you are to focus most of your attention.
Key Components
The key components of the paper are as follows:
1. Title page
2. Introduction in which you restate the issue(s) and state the purpose of the paper
3. SWOT analysis from the HR perspective
4. Recommendations to address the issues. Scholarly research is expected to support the recommendations.
Examples of issues that may want to be elaborated upon may be possible redundant positions, maintaining the culture of both organizations (or not), combining compensation and benefits plans and union involvement (just to name some).
5. There are many tasks for recruiting and hiring for the expansion (in various global locations). Think about and list what those tasks are.
6. Provide the metrics for evaluating the outcomes of the expansion of the organization (again, from an HR perspective).
7. Synthesize and summarize your thoughts about the merger and expansion (from an HR perspective), including recommendations for aligning the HR function of the two organizations and addressing any of the S.W.O.T. assessment HR related elements as appropriate.
6. Reference page containing at least five scholarly references cited in the paper and presented in APA guideline format

Managing Conflict: Audio Interviews
Healthy Conflict in Public Administration
Interviewer: Workplace conflict is a natural and healthy aspect of organizational success, but in some
instances, it can also be detrimental. From your perspective, should the public administrator promote a
culture where health conflict is expressed and utilized toward achieving organizational goals, and if so,
how should he or she do achieve this organizational culture?
Representative Keith Ellison
United States Congressman, 5th District of Minnesota
Washington, D.C.
Well, the public administrator has to understand that conflict is like gravity, it is there, it will be there,
there is no such thing as conflict-free environment, nor should there be.
The sales force wants to sell as many products as they can. The accounting group wants to make sure
that the organization is safe and sound and solvent. Sometimes these two goals are at cross purposes,
and they should be—what the administrator and the leader needs to do is to create an environment
where mistakes are OK, where conflict is OK, where people can disagree, where somebody can say that I
think that so-and-so is wrong and that so-and-so will have enough trust to know that it is, one, not
personal. Two, not designed to thwart their progress in the organization. Three, that it is sincerely
meant.
I mean, the leader needs to set that tone, and sometimes that means the leader needs to let people
critique them, and that sends a message that, critique and difference of opinion is OK here.
Now, of course at some point we need to get it together and make a decision, but you have got to make
a deliberate and conscious effort to make sure that you have an environment in which people can give
criticism and people can take it.
This is learned behavior. This does not just spring up overnight, this is learned behavior, and you have to
practice it and you have to deliberately implement a process for conflict resolution, honesty, and trust. In
that way you are always going to be able to anticipate problems as they arise. Conflict should be looked
at as early warning system.
State Senator Katie Sieben
Minnesota State Senator, District 57
St. Paul, MN
There is certainly no lack of conflict in the Minnesota Senate and it is not, as most people would think, it
is not along partisan lines always or has been usually. So I do not have any real good advice to how to
promote it because it just comes so naturally to us in the legislative setting.
Ms. Deborah Chase
City Council Member 1998 - 2003, Mayor 2002 - 2003
City of Kennmore
Conflict ignored always grows, so you absolutely have to address that. And providing a healthy
environment where it is okay to disagree or at least discuss the disagreement, so that everyone
understands where each other is coming from is critically important in order .

There are key elements that are necessary to be successful in online learning as well as
with most careers. These skills are useful for those in roles of leadership to maintain order and
productivity. In my career as a training coordinator, skills such as organization, time
management, and communication are paramount.
Organization is an optimal skill to help efficiency. It is a necessary ability that enhances
learning through orderly schoolwork and increases productivity in one’s job through systematic
documentation. This process allows for files and documents to be arranged so that they can be
easily accessed (Hamilton, 2013). Paperwork organization allows for training documents to be
updated and placed in specific binders for dissemination to team members. Additionally, it is
imperative to keep email files organized so that tasks are not forgotten or overlooked. Just as
years ago when paper mail had to be sorted, email must be sorted or grouped into appropriate
folders (Weber & Horn, 2011). Great organization skills make keeping and accessing
information efficient.
Time management is an element or skill that allows employees as well as students to get
the most out of the allotted time. “It’s been estimated that reading, responding, and doing
something with business e-mail can consume two to four hours each and every day!” (Weber &
Horn, 2011, p. 33). Prioritizing tasks and scheduling events allow one to maximize productivity
(Hamilton, 2013). When time is scheduled and work is ordered, the most important things get
done first. It does not matter if an unexpected meeting is called; the imperative jobs have been
accomplished or planned. Highlighting the most important tasks ensures that those take first
place and do not get overlooked in a rush. Along with time management comes the ability to be
flexible. Flexibility allows for rearrangement of schedules to make sure all responsibilities are

Ensuring Diversity in the Workforce
In the workplace, diversity refers to the encompassing of different aspects of individuals such as race, ethnicity, gender, personality, education level, organization leadership occupation among other factors. Diversity can also be looked into as how people perceive themselves and others in the workplace. When an organization is having a diverse workplace, they understand the demographics and what it’s involved in such groups of people.
. When an organization does not have diversity inclusion it can pose disadvantages since there are potential lawsuits on the creation of equal employment opportunity. These legal suits are a disadvantage to any business since they tend to be costly and diverse of the organization’s resources. It can also lead to the creation of a negative perception of the customers, potential investors, and future employees. Having diversity inclusion in an organization is not enough to guarantee the success of an organization.
Diversity and transformational leadership
Diversity is connected to transformational leadership; in a diverse environment, there will be a lot of assessment that will take place because different people are involved, and this will help to monitor the work they are doing. Leaders will have to be very keen to know the kind of employees they may need assistance. The other issue connected to transformational leadership is that once many people from different parts and with different cultures are involved in the organization, they will be in a fair and healthy competition. The reason for this is because different people have different ways in which they are going to work to make sure that the organization is in safer hands and it is getting profit just as it is supposed to be doing. Another important aspect in transformational leadership is that it brings training since it enables the organization to appreciate the individual differences among the employees while at the same time providing an equal opportunity for all the employees to exercise potential regardless of their differences. This will make the organization to have a very smooth working relationship with all other employees.

2-25-2017Leadership Personal Action PlanMy preference is ENF.docxfelicidaddinwoodie

Leadership Personal Action Plan
My preference is ENFJ. I believe this is the personality type that goes with my leadership style. With this personality type, my primary focus is external. I deal with issues in accordance to how I feel about them. I also like things or people who fit within my value system at the personal level. My secondary focus is internal meaning that I use intuition when dealing with things. As a leader, I feel that my major strength is focusing on people. I always believe that people can achieve so much when they come together. My major strength is in people skills, for this reason I have a unique ability of bringing people together to accomplish a given task. With these skills, I believe I will be an excellent team leader because I will help people bring the best in them out there. This means that decision-making within the organization and team management will be easy because it will be easy for me as a leader to bring people together and brainstorm for a solution.
This personality however has its downsides because leaders with these traits are known to be manipulative of people under them. For the most part, ENFJs are pushy and relentless until they get the results they want. As a leader with these qualities it may be difficult to spend time alone because most of the time they are externally focused. For this reason, it will be easy to fill my life with activities that involve working with other people. On the downside, I might find myself putting the needs of other before my own why I still attempt to keep track of my needs to ensure that I do not forget them.
Another weakness for this type of personality is that people tend to be reserved when it comes to expressing their opinions especially when they know their thoughts especially when such thoughts may controversial to the extent of pushing people away. Because my major strength is in people skills, it will be important that I blend in with people so to be a change catalyst. In this approach, it is impossible for this type of leaders to be in a group as individuals because they are always doing their best to bring the best out if the team.
As a leader with a preference for E category of personality characteristics, I have definite opinions and values, which will only be expressed if they are not too personal. This could have a negative impact on my relationships with people because I may not be able to speak my mind in the fear that it may affect group dynamics. I will therefore, need to improve on group communication to determine how to remain vocal when important issues that are important to my leadership role.
Recognizing gifts and strengths of my personality type, which make me unique is important in ensuring that I maximize on the strengths that bring the best out of every situation. For this reason, I will capitalize on my people skills to ensure that I achieve success in people management especially in team management. Embracing the ability to ...

Abstract
Funding the Transcontinental Railroad in the 19th century was a major issue for the United States
Government. There were several possible courses of action. Two of these are included here as
well as the problems and advantages of each. In conclusion, the rationale for government funding
is presented.
Keywords: railroads, intercontinental, funding, entrepreneur

2.3 - Case Analysis: Funding the Railroads
I. Summary
The speculative benefits of a transcontinental railroad were easy enough to articulate:
there was fertile land out west for migrants to farm, gold and silver to be mined in California,
and of course it was a matter of national pride (Ambrose, 2000). According to Ambrose (2000),
the whole country was clamoring for it to be done, yet few were crazy enough to invest as “the
risks of financial failure and ruin were huge” (Union Pacific, n.d. para. 3). Ultimately, funding
was provided by the United States government via the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, “mostly in
the form of land grants to the railroads; the railroads would sell the unused land to fund the
construction” (Ambrose, 2000, p. 47). Much of the land was all but worthless at the time, but it
was assumed that as transportation cost were reduced, the land would become more valuable
(Garrison & Levinson, 2014; Ambrose, 2000).
II. Problem
The problem is multifaceted. Unfortunately for the railroad companies, they could not
sell most of the land until after the railroad was built, and they could not build the railroad
without the proceeds of the land sales (Ambrose, 2000). Some relief came with the Pacific
Railroad Act of 1864 which doubled land grants and (more importantly) provided the ability to
borrow against the land grants by issuing bonds (Union Pacific, n.d.). However, even with
doubled bonds and the ability to borrow against them, the transcontinental railroad had major
financing difficulties (Ambrose, 2000; Union Pacific, n.d.).
On the other hand, Illinois representative E.B. Washburn (as quoted in Ambrose, 2000)
called the 1864 bill “the most monstrous and flagrant attempt to overreach the government and
2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS: FUNDING THE RAILROADS

the people…” (p. 94), charging that the Wall Street elites pushing for funding were only out to

50 CHARACTER VERSION OF TITLE IN CAPS 3
Title of Paper
Your first paragraph (or two) should be an introduction to the broad topic of your paper.
Many people write the introduction after writing the rest of the paper! Information in your
introduction should provide a foundation for the hypotheses of your experiment. In your
introduction, your goal is to convince readers that your research topic is (a) interesting and (b)
important. You may choose to begin your paper with a story, quotation, or relevant statistics
about your topic. You can think of your paper as a story about your dependent variable.
You generally will present broad background information about the topic in the first
paragraph of so. You will include at least two sections in the body of your paper. You will
summarize relevant information from prior research studies in the first section, which we refer to
as the “literature review” portion of a paper. You will present your detailed research proposal in
the second section (details are provided below). Some overall formatting rules to keep in mind
are: (a) use Times New Roman font, size 12; and (b) double-space the entire paper.
Information about the Literature-review Section
Content. In the first section of your paper, you should provide a literature review of prior
research and theory that relates to your experiment. The information you present should be from
diverse sources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, web sites). Make sure it is clear to the
reader how information is related to your experimental hypotheses or procedure. So, if you are
using their method, then talk about their method; if they found similar results, talk about their
results; if they operationally defined their DV like you want to, then talk about that, etc. To make
this section of your paper effective, you should explicitly relate information from various sources
to each other and to your proposed research. After you discuss past research, you should make it
50 CHARACTER VERSION OF TITLE IN CAPS 4
clear how your study is the next logical one, that your study improves upon past studies, that
your study fills obvious holes left by the others.
Citation of sources. You should cite references throughout the body of your paper.
There are two ways to cite a source. The authors can be listed in the sentence, with the year in
parentheses: “The Davis (2001) web site presents information about American Psychological
Association (APA) style rules.” Alternatively, the citation can be entirely in parentheses: “The

Running Head: YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM 2
Introduction
Biblical point of view relies on the scriptures of God. The bible is a Christian holy book that gives the moral compass for what Christians engage in, whether in action or utterances. Through modern technologies and other methods, the secularized view of the criminal justice system in America has been influenced by the biblical concept.
Gaps and Omissions
Comprehending juvenile criminal justice, according to the biblical worldview, is to understand the leading cause of crime and human iniquities. Sin is a component of a biblical worldview. All crimes are treated as a sin, but not all sins are viewed as crimes. The juvenile criminal justice system would not exist if there were no crimes (Laurence, 2012). According to sinful human nature, crime always exists; hence the juvenile criminal justice system should be established to help in curbing crime.
The literature is mainly focused on the need to have a separate criminal justice system for juveniles but does not justify the punishment that juveniles ought to receive for crimes they commit. The literature gives detailed views on the topic, but it fails to conclusively articulate what should be done to reprimand crimes committed by youth. The bible is the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16:19 “do not pervert justice or show partiality ...” God is expecting impartiality those who serve distributive justice regardless of age, social status, or gender.
The biblical aim of justice is restoration, as illustrated in the stories such as Jacob and Esau. Human beings are equal in the eyes of the lord, meaning that justice has to be severed equally, although the literature focuses on separate justice for juveniles and adults. God created all human beings with equal value, but the literature seems to favor and try to treat juveniles who have committed similar crimes with adults differently. The literature does not mention that committing crimes against other people is committing a crime against God’s greatest creation.
Biblical Integration
Today youth are facing various risks of being involved in many forms of crimes that end up exposing them to the criminal justice system. Therefore, Christian adults are called upon to guide and bring significant transformation in the lives of the youth. Christians are called upon by God to exhibit unconditional love for juveniles. The church should advocate for fairness and justice for the young. Although some youth have a criminal record, the juvenile justice system's main goal should be to rehabilitate them. These youth can learn and grow from their mistakes. For Christians to create a just society, they should always restore a convicted offender back to society so that they can be integrat.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT 2
Jane Q. Student
(Submission Date)
CJMS 630 90XX
Seminar in Security Management (2XXX)
Vulnerability Assessment: Era Church, City, State
Site Selection and Rationale
This vulnerability assessment was conducted at Era Church (“Era”), 429 State Street, City, State 90909, on the dates of September 25 - 28, 2017, and was followed up with subsequent interviews of relevant church personnel. The site was chosen for multiple reasons including the potential for a violent incident such as a mass shooting, and the potential for fraud or other financial crime. A vulnerability is defined as “weakness[ ] or gap[ ] in a security program that can be exploited by threats to gain unauthorized access to an asset” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). Threats are events or persons, such as a natural disaster, fire, criminal act, or terrorist incident, that can exploit a vulnerability (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). A vulnerability assessment “evaluates all opportunities that may be exploited by a threat” and through a detailed process identifies areas where vulnerabilities can be mitigated to lower the risk (DiMarino, 2017). Risk is defined as “the potential for loss, damage or destruction of an asset as a result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). The vulnerability assessment at Era Church covers multiple areas to include physical, operational, technological, and financial vulnerabilities. While Era has taken measures to mitigate vulnerabilities, there are some recommendations in each area that could further mitigate risk.
Religion is a contentious and polarizing topic in the United States, which makes churches prime targets for groups or individuals who want to make a statement. Perhaps the most infamous church shooting in recent memory is when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-American church members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015 (Blinder & Sack, 2017). Roof brought a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun into the church in a waist pouch, and attended the Bible study for approximately 40 minutes before he shot and killed the members using seven magazines and over 70 rounds (Blinder & Sack, 2017). This incident is just one of many violent incidents at places of worship. There is no sure-fire way to completely avoid incidents such as this shooting, but there are steps that can be taken to help minimize or avoid a large-scale incident.
In addition to the threat of violence, churches are also prime targets for fraud, both from internal and external threats. For instance, the Center for the Study of Global Christianity reports that in 2014 churches lost an estimated $39 billion to internal financial fraud (Thomason, 2016). Theft and embezzlement of church funds are two significant risks faced by faith-based institutions. (Thomason, 2016). In addition to an ins.

Institutional Affiliation(s)
Author Note
The author note is typically used in manuscripts that will be submitted for publication. The author note may provide additional information regarding the affiliations of the authors. It is also used to acknowledge those who contributed to the study, but not at the level of authorship. Lastly, the author note typically includes contact information for at least one author (see APA guide p. 24, section 2.03 & sample paper on p. 41.)
Remember to format the author note using block format (no indents, left or right justification).
Abstract
The abstract is a brief (usually 100-150 words) summary of your experiment. What was your question? What did you do? What did you find? What is your conclusion/interpretation? Try taking the lead sentence or two (but not word-for-word) from your introduction, results and discussion and integrate them into your abstract. Additionally, add a sentence or two describing your procedure, especially if it differs from those typically used to study the phenomenon.
The abstract is page two. Nothing goes on this page except the abstract. Center the word "Abstract" on the page and format in bold-face type. Do not put the title of your paper on this page. Begin typing the abstract on the line directly below the heading.
Notice that the abstract is not indented, and is written in block format. It is also double-spaced. Typically, the abstract is one paragraph in length.
Keywords: type a few words (or phrases) that would be useful if someone was searching for a study similar to this one. For example, if you studied reaction time in a card sorting task your key words might be “card sorting,” “response time” and decision making. (Note: the word “keyword” is italicized and indented.)
Title
On the third page, you typically begin your introduction. Notice that the word "INTRODUCTION" does not appear at the top of the page as many of the other headings do. The title used is the same one that appears on the cover page.
The first paragraph should contain a description of the phenomena that you are studying. Make a general statement about the phenomenon and how it is typically measured. Also, talk about how one might manipulate or influence the outcome (i.e, what variables could potentially influence the results).
Subsequent research should describe previous research that examined the phenomena. These studies serve to provide the rationale for your study. What did the researchers do? What did they find? What did they conclude?
Do this for each study cited. Typically, one or more paragraphs are necessary to explain each study. Try to make the transition smooth from one paragraph to the next. Use transition words (see SIGNAL WORDS hand.

Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. Remember, this is to be a perspective on leadership that requires you to perform research and analysis into how these leaders viewed themselves, and how others viewed them.
This will probably be a few paragraphs. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Cite authors. You should NOT write “According to his book” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Instead, use “According to Kouzes and Posner (2017), ...”
The paper should be written in third person narrative. You will NOT use the first person or the second person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded.

Well, the public administrator has to understand that conflict is like gravity, it is there, it will be there,
there is no such thing as conflict-free environment, nor should there be.
The sales force wants to sell as many products as they can. The accounting group wants to make sure
that the organization is safe and sound and solvent. Sometimes these two goals are at cross purposes,
and they should be—what the administrator and the leader needs to do is to create an environment
where mistakes are OK, where conflict is OK, where people can disagree, where somebody can say that I
think that so-and-so is wrong and that so-and-so will have enough trust to know that it is, one, not
personal. Two, not designed to thwart their progress in the organization. Three, that it is sincerely
meant.
I mean, the leader needs to set that tone, and sometimes that means the leader needs to let people
critique them, and that sends a message that, critique and difference of opinion is OK here.
Now, of course at some point we need to get it together and make a decision, but you have got to make
a deliberate and conscious effort to make sure that you have an environment in which people can give
criticism and people can take it.
This is learned behavior. This does not just spring up overnight, this is learned behavior, and you have to
practice it and you have to deliberately implement a process for conflict resolution, honesty, and trust. In
that way you are always going to be able to anticipate problems as they arise. Conflict should be looked
at as early warning system.

Minnesota State Senator, District 57
St. Paul, MN
There is certainly no lack of conflict in the Minnesota Senate and it is not, as most people would think, it
is not along partisan lines always or has been usually. So I do not have any real good advice to how to
promote it because it just comes so naturally to us in the legislative setting.

City Council Member 1998 - 2003, Mayor 2002 - 2003

Conflict ignored always grows, so you absolutely have to address that. And providing a healthy
environment where it is okay to disagree or at least discuss the disagreement, so that everyone
understands where each other is coming from is critically important in order .

There are key elements that are necessary to be successful in online learning as well as
with most careers. These skills are useful for those in roles of leadership to maintain order and
productivity. In my career as a training coordinator, skills such as organization, time
management, and communication are paramount.
Organization is an optimal skill to help efficiency. It is a necessary ability that enhances
learning through orderly schoolwork and increases productivity in one’s job through systematic
documentation. This process allows for files and documents to be arranged so that they can be
easily accessed (Hamilton, 2013). Paperwork organization allows for training documents to be
updated and placed in specific binders for dissemination to team members. Additionally, it is
imperative to keep email files organized so that tasks are not forgotten or overlooked. Just as
years ago when paper mail had to be sorted, email must be sorted or grouped into appropriate
folders (Weber & Horn, 2011). Great organization skills make keeping and accessing
information efficient.
Time management is an element or skill that allows employees as well as students to get
the most out of the allotted time. “It’s been estimated that reading, responding, and doing
something with business e-mail can consume two to four hours each and every day!” (Weber &
Horn, 2011, p. 33). Prioritizing tasks and scheduling events allow one to maximize productivity
(Hamilton, 2013). When time is scheduled and work is ordered, the most important things get
done first. It does not matter if an unexpected meeting is called; the imperative jobs have been
accomplished or planned. Highlighting the most important tasks ensures that those take first
place and do not get overlooked in a rush. Along with time management comes the ability to be
flexible. Flexibility allows for rearrangement of schedules to make sure all responsibilities are

Ensuring Diversity in the Workforce
In the workplace, diversity refers to the encompassing of different aspects of individuals such as race, ethnicity, gender, personality, education level, organization leadership occupation among other factors. Diversity can also be looked into as how people perceive themselves and others in the workplace. When an organization is having a diverse workplace, they understand the demographics and what it’s involved in such groups of people.
. When an organization does not have diversity inclusion it can pose disadvantages since there are potential lawsuits on the creation of equal employment opportunity. These legal suits are a disadvantage to any business since they tend to be costly and diverse of the organization’s resources. It can also lead to the creation of a negative perception of the customers, potential investors, and future employees. Having diversity inclusion in an organization is not enough to guarantee the success of an organization.
Diversity and transformational leadership
Diversity is connected to transformational leadership; in a diverse environment, there will be a lot of assessment that will take place because different people are involved, and this will help to monitor the work they are doing. Leaders will have to be very keen to know the kind of employees they may need assistance. The other issue connected to transformational leadership is that once many people from different parts and with different cultures are involved in the organization, they will be in a fair and healthy competition. The reason for this is because different people have different ways in which they are going to work to make sure that the organization is in safer hands and it is getting profit just as it is supposed to be doing. Another important aspect in transformational leadership is that it brings training since it enables the organization to appreciate the individual differences among the employees while at the same time providing an equal opportunity for all the employees to exercise potential regardless of their differences. This will make the organization to have a very smooth working relationship with all other employees.

Leadership Personal Action Plan
My preference is ENFJ. I believe this is the personality type that goes with my leadership style. With this personality type, my primary focus is external. I deal with issues in accordance to how I feel about them. I also like things or people who fit within my value system at the personal level. My secondary focus is internal meaning that I use intuition when dealing with things. As a leader, I feel that my major strength is focusing on people. I always believe that people can achieve so much when they come together. My major strength is in people skills, for this reason I have a unique ability of bringing people together to accomplish a given task. With these skills, I believe I will be an excellent team leader because I will help people bring the best in them out there. This means that decision-making within the organization and team management will be easy because it will be easy for me as a leader to bring people together and brainstorm for a solution.
This personality however has its downsides because leaders with these traits are known to be manipulative of people under them. For the most part, ENFJs are pushy and relentless until they get the results they want. As a leader with these qualities it may be difficult to spend time alone because most of the time they are externally focused. For this reason, it will be easy to fill my life with activities that involve working with other people. On the downside, I might find myself putting the needs of other before my own why I still attempt to keep track of my needs to ensure that I do not forget them.
Another weakness for this type of personality is that people tend to be reserved when it comes to expressing their opinions especially when they know their thoughts especially when such thoughts may controversial to the extent of pushing people away. Because my major strength is in people skills, it will be important that I blend in with people so to be a change catalyst. In this approach, it is impossible for this type of leaders to be in a group as individuals because they are always doing their best to bring the best out if the team.
As a leader with a preference for E category of personality characteristics, I have definite opinions and values, which will only be expressed if they are not too personal. This could have a negative impact on my relationships with people because I may not be able to speak my mind in the fear that it may affect group dynamics. I will therefore, need to improve on group communication to determine how to remain vocal when important issues that are important to my leadership role.
Recognizing gifts and strengths of my personality type, which make me unique is important in ensuring that I maximize on the strengths that bring the best out of every situation. For this reason, I will capitalize on my people skills to ensure that I achieve success in people management especially in team management. Embracing the ability to ...

Abstract
Funding the Transcontinental Railroad in the 19th century was a major issue for the United States
Government. There were several possible courses of action. Two of these are included here as
well as the problems and advantages of each. In conclusion, the rationale for government funding
is presented.
Keywords: railroads, intercontinental, funding, entrepreneur
2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS: FUNDING THE RAILROADS

2.3 - Case Analysis: Funding the Railroads
I. Summary
The speculative benefits of a transcontinental railroad were easy enough to articulate:
there was fertile land out west for migrants to farm, gold and silver to be mined in California,
and of course it was a matter of national pride (Ambrose, 2000). According to Ambrose (2000),
the whole country was clamoring for it to be done, yet few were crazy enough to invest as “the
risks of financial failure and ruin were huge” (Union Pacific, n.d. para. 3). Ultimately, funding
was provided by the United States government via the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, “mostly in
the form of land grants to the railroads; the railroads would sell the unused land to fund the
construction” (Ambrose, 2000, p. 47). Much of the land was all but worthless at the time, but it
was assumed that as transportation cost were reduced, the land would become more valuable
(Garrison & Levinson, 2014; Ambrose, 2000).
II. Problem
The problem is multifaceted. Unfortunately for the railroad companies, they could not
sell most of the land until after the railroad was built, and they could not build the railroad
without the proceeds of the land sales (Ambrose, 2000). Some relief came with the Pacific
Railroad Act of 1864 which doubled land grants and (more importantly) provided the ability to
borrow against the land grants by issuing bonds (Union Pacific, n.d.). However, even with
doubled bonds and the ability to borrow against them, the transcontinental railroad had major
financing difficulties (Ambrose, 2000; Union Pacific, n.d.).
On the other hand, Illinois representative E.B. Washburn (as quoted in Ambrose, 2000)
called the 1864 bill “the most monstrous and flagrant attempt to overreach the government and
2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS: FUNDING THE RAILROADS
4
the people…” (p. 94), charging that the Wall Street elites pushing for funding were only out to
profit off the public (Ambrose, 2000). Eglin Air Force Base Archaeologist Benjamin Aubuchon
(personal communication, August 17, 2016) affirms that while the Pacific Railroad Acts were
instrumental in building the transcontinental railroad, many railroad corporations in the
Southeastern U.S. were formed with no intention of following through.

50 CHARACTER VERSION OF TITLE IN CAPS 3
Title of Paper
Your first paragraph (or two) should be an introduction to the broad topic of your paper.
Many people write the introduction after writing the rest of the paper! Information in your
introduction should provide a foundation for the hypotheses of your experiment. In your
introduction, your goal is to convince readers that your research topic is (a) interesting and (b)
important. You may choose to begin your paper with a story, quotation, or relevant statistics
about your topic. You can think of your paper as a story about your dependent variable.
You generally will present broad background information about the topic in the first
paragraph of so. You will include at least two sections in the body of your paper. You will
summarize relevant information from prior research studies in the first section, which we refer to
as the “literature review” portion of a paper. You will present your detailed research proposal in
the second section (details are provided below). Some overall formatting rules to keep in mind
are: (a) use Times New Roman font, size 12; and (b) double-space the entire paper.
Information about the Literature-review Section
Content. In the first section of your paper, you should provide a literature review of prior
research and theory that relates to your experiment. The information you present should be from
diverse sources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, web sites). Make sure it is clear to the
reader how information is related to your experimental hypotheses or procedure. So, if you are
using their method, then talk about their method; if they found similar results, talk about their
results; if they operationally defined their DV like you want to, then talk about that, etc. To make
this section of your paper effective, you should explicitly relate information from various sources
to each other and to your proposed research. After you discuss past research, you should make it
50 CHARACTER VERSION OF TITLE IN CAPS 4
clear how your study is the next logical one, that your study improves upon past studies, that
your study fills obvious holes left by the others.
Citation of sources. You should cite references throughout the body of your paper.
There are two ways to cite a source. The authors can be listed in the sentence, with the year in
parentheses: “The Davis (2001) web site presents information about American Psychological
Association (APA) style rules.” Alternatively, the citation can be entirely in parentheses: “The

Running Head: YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM 2
Introduction
Biblical point of view relies on the scriptures of God. The bible is a Christian holy book that gives the moral compass for what Christians engage in, whether in action or utterances. Through modern technologies and other methods, the secularized view of the criminal justice system in America has been influenced by the biblical concept.
Gaps and Omissions
Comprehending juvenile criminal justice, according to the biblical worldview, is to understand the leading cause of crime and human iniquities. Sin is a component of a biblical worldview. All crimes are treated as a sin, but not all sins are viewed as crimes. The juvenile criminal justice system would not exist if there were no crimes (Laurence, 2012). According to sinful human nature, crime always exists; hence the juvenile criminal justice system should be established to help in curbing crime.
The literature is mainly focused on the need to have a separate criminal justice system for juveniles but does not justify the punishment that juveniles ought to receive for crimes they commit. The literature gives detailed views on the topic, but it fails to conclusively articulate what should be done to reprimand crimes committed by youth. The bible is the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16:19 “do not pervert justice or show partiality ...” God is expecting impartiality those who serve distributive justice regardless of age, social status, or gender.
The biblical aim of justice is restoration, as illustrated in the stories such as Jacob and Esau. Human beings are equal in the eyes of the lord, meaning that justice has to be severed equally, although the literature focuses on separate justice for juveniles and adults. God created all human beings with equal value, but the literature seems to favor and try to treat juveniles who have committed similar crimes with adults differently. The literature does not mention that committing crimes against other people is committing a crime against God’s greatest creation.
Biblical Integration
Today youth are facing various risks of being involved in many forms of crimes that end up exposing them to the criminal justice system. Therefore, Christian adults are called upon to guide and bring significant transformation in the lives of the youth. Christians are called upon by God to exhibit unconditional love for juveniles. The church should advocate for fairness and justice for the young. Although some youth have a criminal record, the juvenile justice system's main goal should be to rehabilitate them. These youth can learn and grow from their mistakes. For Christians to create a just society, they should always restore a convicted offender back to society so that they can be integrat.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT 2
Jane Q. Student
(Submission Date)
CJMS 630 90XX
Seminar in Security Management (2XXX)
Vulnerability Assessment: Era Church, City, State
Site Selection and Rationale
This vulnerability assessment was conducted at Era Church (“Era”), 429 State Street, City, State 90909, on the dates of September 25 - 28, 2017, and was followed up with subsequent interviews of relevant church personnel. The site was chosen for multiple reasons including the potential for a violent incident such as a mass shooting, and the potential for fraud or other financial crime. A vulnerability is defined as “weakness[ ] or gap[ ] in a security program that can be exploited by threats to gain unauthorized access to an asset” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). Threats are events or persons, such as a natural disaster, fire, criminal act, or terrorist incident, that can exploit a vulnerability (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). A vulnerability assessment “evaluates all opportunities that may be exploited by a threat” and through a detailed process identifies areas where vulnerabilities can be mitigated to lower the risk (DiMarino, 2017). Risk is defined as “the potential for loss, damage or destruction of an asset as a result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). The vulnerability assessment at Era Church covers multiple areas to include physical, operational, technological, and financial vulnerabilities. While Era has taken measures to mitigate vulnerabilities, there are some recommendations in each area that could further mitigate risk.
Religion is a contentious and polarizing topic in the United States, which makes churches prime targets for groups or individuals who want to make a statement. Perhaps the most infamous church shooting in recent memory is when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-American church members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015 (Blinder & Sack, 2017). Roof brought a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun into the church in a waist pouch, and attended the Bible study for approximately 40 minutes before he shot and killed the members using seven magazines and over 70 rounds (Blinder & Sack, 2017). This incident is just one of many violent incidents at places of worship. There is no sure-fire way to completely avoid incidents such as this shooting, but there are steps that can be taken to help minimize or avoid a large-scale incident.
In addition to the threat of violence, churches are also prime targets for fraud, both from internal and external threats. For instance, the Center for the Study of Global Christianity reports that in 2014 churches lost an estimated $39 billion to internal financial fraud (Thomason, 2016). Theft and embezzlement of church funds are two significant risks faced by faith-based institutions. (Thomason, 2016). In addition to an ins.

Place the title of the paper on the first line. Tab to the .5-inch mark to begin your
introductory paragraph. To develop an introduction, begin with some interesting facts about the
topic and then narrow the focus to the specific topics for discussion. This could include an
overview of the company. An overview could include, but not limited to the products or services
the company offers, the company size, customers, and the countries in which the company
operates. Include relevant information about the CEO. Include in-text citations to support the
information you present in the paper. An example of an in-text citation that you place at the end
of the information you paraphrased is (Boone, 2012). The introduction should include a thesis
statement and succinctly describe the order in which you organize the body of the paper. Please

Author Note
The author note is typically used in manuscripts that will be submitted for publication. The author note may provide additional information regarding the affiliations of the authors. It is also used to acknowledge those who contributed to the study, but not at the level of authorship. Lastly, the author note typically includes contact information for at least one author (see APA guide p. 24, section 2.03 & sample paper on p. 41.)
Remember to format the author note using block format (no indents, left or right justification).
Abstract
The abstract is a brief (usually 100-150 words) summary of your experiment. What was your question? What did you do? What did you find? What is your conclusion/interpretation? Try taking the lead sentence or two (but not word-for-word) from your introduction, results and discussion and integrate them into your abstract. Additionally, add a sentence or two describing your procedure, especially if it differs from those typically used to study the phenomenon.
The abstract is page two. Nothing goes on this page except the abstract. Center the word "Abstract" on the page and format in bold-face type. Do not put the title of your paper on this page. Begin typing the abstract on the line directly below the heading.
Notice that the abstract is not indented, and is written in block format. It is also double-spaced. Typically, the abstract is one paragraph in length.
Keywords: type a few words (or phrases) that would be useful if someone was searching for a study similar to this one. For example, if you studied reaction time in a card sorting task your key words might be “card sorting,” “response time” and decision making. (Note: the word “keyword” is italicized and indented.)
Title
On the third page, you typically begin your introduction. Notice that the word "INTRODUCTION" does not appear at the top of the page as many of the other headings do. The title used is the same one that appears on the cover page.
The first paragraph should contain a description of the phenomena that you are studying. Make a general statement about the phenomenon and how it is typically measured. Also, talk about how one might manipulate or influence the outcome (i.e, what variables could potentially influence the results).
Subsequent research should describe previous research that examined the phenomena. These studies serve to provide the rationale for your study. What did the researchers do? What did they find? What did they conclude?
Do this for each study cited. Typically, one or more paragraphs are necessary to explain each study. Try to make the transition smooth from one paragraph to the next. Use transition words (see SIGNAL WORDS hand.

Section 1: Topic/Central Idea
The key emphasis or the central idea lies on persuasion of people to participate in tree planting exercise in the United States. Tree planting has been emphasized by many governmental and non-governmental organizations in the United States and even outside the country. Planting of tress has many benefits both to the human beings and the environment. The general purpose is to persuade and motivate people to take part during the tree planting day in the United States. The specific purpose is to ensure that people are aware about the importance of tree planting. The central idea is to ensure that people are aware with the benefits which come with tree planting.

Virtual organizations refer to organizations whose employees are geographically spread and connect through phone, internet or email (Hebert, 2017). The concept of a virtual organization utilizes technology from a management perspective in which employees engage in different tasks to achieve the organization’s objectives. There are various benefits associated with virtual organizations. First, the owner of the business incurs lower overhead costs because a virtual organization needs no office space, furniture or paying for utilities (Shamsuzzoha & Helo, 2017). For example, an online education business only needs tutors and students. Secondly, employees are more satisfied due to the comfort of working from their own houses, for instance, tutors in a virtual institution can lecture students at the comfort of their homes. Lastly, the owner of the business can expand the business without having to worry about moving the many employees to a larger office.
However, a virtual organization is prone to many risks that hinder its effectiveness in terms of achieving its objectives. One of the risks is lack of cohesiveness in the organization. This is brought by the fact that the employees are spread and thus difficult to call for an emergency meeting in case an urgent need arises (Wohlers & Hertel, 2017). Secondly, there is a risk to reputation for customers may not perceive a virtual organization as a real company. Lastly, lack of social interaction discourages teamwork. Despite all these, there are various opportunities associated with virtual organizations such as the opportunity to reach the vast majority of the customers as well as an opportunity to change the strategy used by the business easily and for less cost.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

Felicia Griffin

BUS 325: Global Human Resource Management

Onboarding process is a usual process in the recent past in many business organizations. Onboarding seeks to ensure that new employees are easily embedded into the systems as fast as possible. New employees can adjust much more comfortable when they have better employees to ease them in. It helps new employee recruits to adjust to the social and performances. It is mainly aimed at maximizing success. Various vital steps need to be followed in ensuring that new recruits are effectively realigned into the organizational structure.
This is an essential procedure in organizational performances it ensures that new recruits take the shortest time possible to settle and establish better relations with other employees. It is the best way that a business organization can ensure that new recruits concentrate on the primary purpose of the organization rather than focus on how they can settle in their new working environment and social environment.
The onboarding process is an exceptionally chronological process where a beginner follows a given order of events in the organization. The first step is to study the new employee characteristics. It involves understanding their character and their ability to be integrated into the company operations smoothly. This process is very significant because the company can know quite earlier the behavioral adjustment that a given new employee can make to become successful.
The next step in the process is the deployment of newcomer tactics. Within this stage, the new employee develops a relationship with the existing employees within the organization to have a conducive business environment. The next step in the onboarding process is the readjustment of new employee tactics and behavior to conform to organizational culture and be in a position to work effectively towards the achievement of the set organizational goals.
One of the most critical elements of onboarding in a global environment is studying and understanding the characteristics of the new hire to be in a position to know how easy the new recruit will be able to adjust to the organizational culture and its operations. Another vital element in onboarding is the creation of an understanding between new recruits and the already existing employees within the organization to formulate a formidable team that can propel the organization to new heights.

Abstract
This paper will discuss psychology and Christianity: Two disciplines that seem to be difficult subjects when discussing an integrated approach. There are some people who believe that, psychology has become one completely different subject than Christianity and both at times have lost all connection with the other. In addition, there are integrative models of disciplinary that think psychology is strictly a science and Christianity is solely based on faith and religion and the two cannot be integrated together. After further review of evidence, it seems that the integration approach for both disciplines are given by God and that they both should be integrated to create a more understanding of humanity. The focus of this paper is to describe the Allies” model and how it relates to integrating two disciplines; psychology and Christian faith. In addition, the strengths and limitations of the Allies model will be discussed. Also included are definitions of both subjects and views on different approaches towards this matter. Scriptures will be added that correspond with this approach, as well as, several factors that lead to the integration process of both disciplines. After further studies of the evidence of various disciplines, it seems like the “Allies” model best fits the relationship between psychology method and Christianity.
Integration between Christian faith and Psychology
Webster dictionary states that psychology is, “The science of mind and behavior and the study of mind and behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Whereas, Christianity is defined, “A religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). After the evidence from various disciplines of study, it seems that a person’s foundation is based on what we see and how we know. This leads a person to believe that it is crucial for Christian counseling to use both psychology and Christianity. There are several different methods that psychological theory and science use to gain knowledge. These are: “Logic,” “Empiricism,” “Revelation,” and “Hermeneutic” (Entwistle, 2015. P. 97). Whereas, experiments in psychology use deductive logic when testing a hypothesis. Inductive reasoning uses experiments that show a correlation by manipulating the variables. For instance, we use science to find out if a statement is true or false. An idea is a suggestion upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn. For.

LETTER OF ADVICE 2
Dear Cassy and Jeremy,
Congratulations on your recent engagement. It’s such a great time in your life. My wife
and I have been married almost 8 years. I also just took a class on interpersonal communications
and would love to share with you some of what I learned in addition to some personal
experiences.2 Knowing how your partner communicates and uses verbal and non-verbal
communication is important in a relationship and will help in reducing miscommunications.
Know going in to your marriage that there will be conflict but learning how to manage or resolve
those conflicts will help in a successful marriage. I know you both love each other very much
and that will help get you through those difficult times.3
Interpersonal Relationships4
Interpersonal relationships are part of our everyday life. Getting married forms one of
the most important interpersonal relationships you will ever have. But with any relationship there
are barriers to effectively maintain those interactions. Our self-concept is developed through our
interpersonal relationships and changes over time. Emotional intelligence also has a great impact
on how effective a relationship will be. The amount an individual discloses of themselves in a
relationship can vary depending on the type of relationship and can have both negative and
positive effects. Interpersonal conflict is probably one of the most challenging aspects of a
relationship and managing these conflicts effectively is important to the relationship’s wellbeing.
2 While we usually discourage people from using the first person, this essay asks that the student write a personal
letter, so it is okay to be more casual here

Executive Summary
As with any new technology, risks can arise in e-commerce that is not common to those traditional “brick-and-mortar” stores. A huge concern for e-commerce applications is credit/debit card use. Major damage can be done to an organization if the credit/debit card transactions are not secured in terms of financial fraud, loss of consumer confidence, identity theft, or legal regulations.
Online Goodies provides custom promotional gifts to corporate customers and is an Internet-based company. Some of their products include mugs, computer accessories, t-shirts, and office décor. The majority of its income comes from online credit card purchase. They give their repeat customers a discount based on their annual purchase amount.
This report is to create a test plan for Online Goodies based on the OWASP standards. The report includes an overview and rationale of all of the tests performed including a brute force test, an authentication test, privilege escalation test, code injection test, and web application fingerprint test.

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

CULTURAL DIMENSION
1
Introduction
The globalization of business and the adoption of the latest
technological methods across the world has made it easy for
business leaders to interact easily. It is now possible for leaders
to carry out their business outside their cultural and social
norms. For this to be effective, it is crucial for the leaders to
comprehend other cultures to avoid any form of interpretations,
misapprehension, or miscommunications. Professor Geert
Hofstede helped in instituting five major cultural dimensions as
the comparative model that allows various nations to compare
their norms and values. Defining or describing the following
cultural dimensions; uncertainty avoidance index (UAI), power
distance (PDI), uncertainty avoidance index (UAI), long-term
orientation (LTO), masculinity (MAS) and individualism (IDV).
These concepts would play an essential role in understanding
other people’s culture and leadership techniques and skills. It
can be noted that Hofstede’s dimension’s model fails to clarify
the type of leadership that organizations deserve and should be
hired. He presented the most crucial tool that helps in creating
awareness of how cultures differ from one nation to another.
Culture does not make a leader tremendous or effective, but it is
his characteristics and traits that make him fruitful and able to
meet his or her set goals on time (McLaurin, 2008). This
primary aim of this paper is to assess various cultural dimension
and highlighting where I fall in each category.
Dimensions of National Culture
6. Power Distance Index (PDI) is based on the relationship
between employees and leaders in the organization. It is
essential to note that a high PDI means that the extent at which
a leader is causing the employees to relate or approach their
leaders. I fall to this dimension in that I have the ability to
approach my boss and communicate effectively with them
without any issue as well as solving any problem that may arise
between us (McLaurin, 2008).
On the other hand, lower PDI implies that the employees get the
motivation to engage with their leaders, knowing that their
opinions are important and considered in making any decision
in the company. Using this dimension indicates that there are
high chances that I will engage the company management with
the best ideas that aim at improving its performance. In this
dimension, some companies may use lower or middle-class
managers to pass the required information to the relevant
authority. In most cases, these managers have experience and
ability to pass information to higher leadership (Boeing, 2013).
Individualism is the idea that indicates how people have decided
to take care of themselves and their family members. In most
cases, this relationship is fruitful, and there are higher chances
that the company performance will increase. Based on cultural
values, people need to work together in accomplishing their set
goals and objectives. In this sense intend to have a low IDV,
meaning that I have a collectivist culture, members are very
committed to one another. In most companies that I have
worked with are considered to have a low IDV, I can commit to
my working teams as such leaders always experience a very
high retention rate and can recruit and train more employees to
the programs (Hallale, 2013). On the contrary, some countries
such as the United States of America have a very high score;
this implies that the nation is very individualistic, and people
tend to move away from friends and relatives. Companies
adopting IDV are most likely to perform well and go global
since employees can mobilize the world.
Masculinity versus Femininity (MAS) implies the difference
7. between cultures, which are based on ‘live to work’ vs. ‘work to
live ‘culture. Countries such as Japan have a high score on
masculine since it is not easy to find a woman at a leadership
position. Men are expected to climb leadership ladders. This has
created gender imbalance. As a business leader, I have to be
committed to my work to meet the set goals and objectives.
Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI) this determined by how the
company or community to handle future uncertainty. Nations
such as Saudi Arabia are ranked high on these concepts to avoid
various forms of uncertainty by adopting Sharia Law and strict
laws that are passed from one generation to another (Gallant,
2013). I relate to this dimension because I can come up with the
most effective ways of handling uncertainty. This makes it easy
for the company to meet its objectives on time.
Long-term orientation (LTO) is another dimension that I found
very interesting and most suitable in a business setting
(Hofstede, 1993). This concept indicates how society can
maintain their traditions and values. In this sense, the past
values are maintained or preserved for the future. As a leader, I
have to ensure that the company invests its time in research and
development (R & D), which has a long term benefit in the
organization.
Conclusion
Understanding others culture is essential in ensuring that
business goals are met within started time. As noted above, I
relate in one way or the other with all five dimensions, which is
essential in company performance.

Introduction
Numerous researches have identified that spirituality has a
significant positive impact on the performance of employees in
the workplace. The overall outcome is having an organization
that is well motivated and driven to perform in a competitive
9. industry (Pawar, 2016). The study identified the several benefits
of spirituality in the workplace with an emphasis on the first
five.
Regardless, from the study, it is clear that spirituality at the
workplace has its benefits towards employees. These benefits
will be used in the development of a workplace plan to
implement spirituality.
Benefits of Spirituality at the Workplace
The first in increased morale, involving activities that support
spirituality in the work setting lifts the enthusiasm of
employees boosting performance (Zsolnai, 2015). Secondly,
spirituality impacts satisfaction, this is demonstrated when
employees inspire each other to holistically involve themselves
at work and home thereby bringing about job satisfaction.
Household matters are addressed with positive influence
resulting in happiness (Zsolnai, 2015) Thirdly, improved
commitment strength, by having employees align themselves
with the goals and objectives of the organization fosters the
feeling as well as a demonstration of loyalty to the company.
Fourth, increased yield, when employees have a better
connection to their workplace, they are motivated to have
quality yields (Zsolnai, 2015). The direct outcome of this is
better performance and satisfaction from consumers. Finally,
advances the bottom line, the study that was conducted at a
national level, organizational leaders of spiritual companies
assimilate additional bottom-lines such as that of spirituality.
This motivates the employees for better expectations for
themselves as well as the company (Zsolnai, 2015).
Suggested Approaches
It is noteworthy that there are selected approaches that can
be used to implement spirituality in the workplace.
Nevertheless, the first step would be understanding the
dynamics associated spirituality before making the change
(Pawar, 2016). However, though many companies are spiritual,
10. the majority of those documented have been noted to have a
dominant religion. This results in companies being deemed
either an Islamic or Christian company. The first step for
management would be conducting a feasibility study; this would
identify the various religions that are present within the
organization (Pawar, 2016). This will be applicable in
determining the strategy to be applied, with globalization being
considered as a factor, most organizations today are multi-
faceted when it comes to spirituality and by imposing a single
religion on every employee may result in unwanted outcomes.
They may include job dissatisfaction, poor performance and
high employee turnover among others.
Plan Development
After understanding the demography of the workplace, the
next step would be determining the most appropriate means of
influencing employees and implementing a spiritual setting in
the company. This is achievable by developing leadership and
team development, total system development and redefinition of
the role of the business. By applying these strategies,
management has the potential to have a spiritual impact on its
workforce while ensuring the expenses to implement and
maintain the strategy remains low (AFsar, Badir, & Kiani,
2016). From the introductory segment, the benefits of having a
spiritual setting are identified; by using the stated strategies,
the company will be able to maintain the changes from the
positive performance of the employees and the company
illustrated by the increased revenue. Leadership and team
development should be the first strategy to be implemented;
with a team of individuals from a specific religious following, it
offers an effective and cheap means of spirituality (AFsar,
Badir, & Kiani, 2016). The team leaders will be encouraged to
inspire the values of self-effacement, conviction, and
integration; it can create a balanced ecosystem among the
various spiritual groups present.
The second strategy to be implemented is the total system
11. development. It was identified that an increasing number of
company managers, as well as organizational leaders, are
committing themselves to create an organization that nurtures
spirituality. It affects not only the employees but also the
stakeholders and consumers. It is important to appreciate the
companies that have invested in addressing the physical as well
as emotional needs of employees. However, they have been
hesitant about addressing spiritual matters as it is entwined with
global spiritual perspectives (AFsar, Badir, & Kiani, 2016). The
turbulent economic periods that humanity has faced has resulted
in a deeper search for meaning. Currently, various organizations
are experiencing a need to get in touch with what the most
allowing them to strengthen their connections. By allowing
management to evolve the level of spiritual values they will
have the potential to assist, the company target more than the
mainstream profits and bottom-lines (Paul, Dutta, & Saha,
2016). By developing the human aspect of the company, it will
be beneficial for the company as well as society through their
charities.
The final step in developing a spiritual plan would be the
redefinition of the role of the business. In the contemporary
setting, more companies are changing their strategies from
making profits to solution creators for societal and various
global problems (Vitell et al., 2016). The main purpose of
implementing a spiritual development plan is to influence the
employees as well as other stakeholders. By having a far-
reaching influence, it has the capacity to be beneficial for the
company, as it will have its contributions positively affecting
the company as well as other people (Vitell et al., 2016). This
will be achieved by having a workforce that is already
spiritually driven and motivated to generate revenue for the
company that will be used to have a positive impact nationally
and globally.
Conclusion
The spiritual development plan is designed to be as
12. efficient as possible, by influencing as many employees as
possible while ensuring their expenditure is minimal. The
expenditures would be in the form of training and rebranding
allowing the company to achieve its full ability. All this will
happen with the company boasting higher job satisfaction and
performance rates.

SWOT ANALYSIS 1

SWOT analysis
Event planner business
Because of my good communication and socializing skills, I
thought that to start a business for event planning. I decided
that I would be planning events such as birthdays, weddings,
and other types of events.
The other reason for starting this type of business is the fact
that I have event planning knowledge obtained from helping out
my friend who organized his own entertainment events in our
hometown. I observed and learned some of the things that make
an event memorable.
Strengths
I have the skills required to start this business. Since my
business is a starter we will charge less compared to other
businesses in order to attract more customers. I will use a team
of very social and skilled people to make the events livelier.
People willing to hold events will see the company be appealing
since we will use modern decorations and modern equipment to
ensure that clients choose as over other people. We will
advertise our business through all means possible to ensure that
14. many people know about our services. We will ensure that
communication with clients is handled in a professional and
polite manner (Rohm, 2009).
The business is also going to be chosen by customers because
it has no bad reputation, unlike other businesses. The business
will also be eyeing the young people because they hold a lot of
parties. This type of market will be got by employing young
people with a lot of influence on young people. The last but not
least strength of the proposed business is that the business will
offer high-quality services than other existing businesses.
Weaknesses
As much as I think that I have the experience I running an
event planning business, my experience is not comparable to the
experience of the existing businesses. My business will have to
learn new things as it already running.
On business startup the business, we will not be in a position
to make profits because of the investments that will be
implemented to support the running of the business. Running
an event planning business requires a lot of attention. The
planners have to the conscience of many things to make the
event successful. This type of business involves traveling.
Travelling may cause isolation from family. Because of the fact
that this is a new business, some customers may not have faith
in us. Some customers may not expect us to perform as well as
the order businesses. Our competitors may think of us as non-
experienced armatures and hence see as to be no relevant
competitors. Our competitors have numerous resources which
are yet to have (Bodner, 2011). Our competitors have already
developed customer relations.
Opportunities
Our competitors won’t consider us to be a threat. This
means that some of our competitors won’t develop strategies to
protect their markets; this will give us enough time to penetrate
the market (Yuece, 2012). Because of our extensive
advertisement using internet sites and word of mouth our
business will be known to many people. The strategies that will
15. create new opportunities include:
-Use of new methods of advertisement.
-Changes in government policy related to events planning.
-The people holding events this day have increasingly become
young people. Since I am a young citizen with young friends I
and my employees will have a lot of influence.
-Clients demands. Our clients demand may be difficult for the
archive with the available resources.
-Budgeting may be another problem in a startup because we
won't have a clear figure of the amount of money required in an
event.
Threats
-The quality of our services may not be optimal because of lack
of experience.
-I will have to stop in the other economic activities in order to
venture into this business.
-The other threat is being able to form the right team to run the
business.
-Managing business resources and property.
-Maintaining business standards and reputation.
-Bad debts after starting up the business
The vision statement for the business
The business has a number of visions. The business vision is
creating a good reputation and to become the leading event
planner company in the state. We will make this come true by
maintaining a good customer relation and complying to our
customer’s request in order to make them happy.
The mission statement for the business
Be the best in event planning and make our customers proud of
choosing us.
Competitors
-Our main competitors will be sunshine events and exclusive
events companies.
-Our business will advertise more using the internet rather than
using word of mouth like our competitors.
16. -My business will also ensure that the team is selected
professionally rather than using random guys who avail
themselves for work like our competitors. The business will
also ensure that it abides by all legal requirements.

TRUST AND COOPERATION 1
17. BU521 - Organizational Leadership
Dr. Michelle L. Clemons
Southern States University
Week 6 – Assignment #6
Bruna Martins
Trust refers to the expectation or belief that a person has good
intentions and that his actions or words can be relied upon. In a
team context, the leader is the focal referent of the belief and
expectation. Dirks (2000) argues that trust in the leader is a
major determinant of team performance. When members trust
their team leader, they suspend their personal motives, doubts
and questions in order to pursue the objectives of the team
(Dirks, 2000). The following paper addresses the concept of
trust in team leadership. It reflects on the steps that I would
undertake to enhance trust and cooperation in a future team
context.
Leaders have to understand the behaviors that underlie trust in
order to increase the level of trust of other people towards them
(Zenger & Folkman, 2019). This means that building trust in my
team will entail the knowledge and practice of these behaviors.
The first behavior is the leader’s capability to create and
maintain positive relationships with team members. People can
only trust if a relationship is formed during their first
18. interaction and maintained into the future (Zenger & Folkman,
2019). Secondly, the leader has to show good Judgment that’s
aided by being knowledgeable and well-informed about
developments in his field. Thirdly, he/she must portray
consistency by walking the talk and setting a good example for
the team members (Zenger & Folkman, 2019). The behaviors
should be practiced in the most appropriate context that
reinforces the team members’ belief in the leader.
To maintain positive relationships with team members, I will
show genuine concern about the workplace and personal issues
that affect them. For example, I will support members in
weddings or other domestic events and condole with them in
times of grief. I will provide paid leaves for team members who
have genuine issues affecting their wellbeing. Secondly, I will
give negative feedback in a sensitive way to avoid tearing down
the team members. At this point, I will remember the fact that
most of these members depend on the job for their livelihoods
and that negative feedback would make them feel like their jobs
are in jeopardy. Thirdly, I will resolve conflicts and
misunderstandings immediately after they occur to prevent
division or diversion from core objectives. Conflict can damage
trusts especially if it persists in the workplace.
On the other hand, good judgment and expertise in my field will
boost the members’ level of trust. I will focus on achieving
impeccable results since results are a clear indication of
expertise. Therefore, I will work hard in other related projects
and research widely in order to achieve long term goals. A
streak of good results will motivate team members to
voluntarily seek after my opinions. At this point, I will ensure
that the opinions or suggestions given to members are based on
evidence to prevent failure and the consequent decrease in trust.
Thirdly, I will showcase my good judgment/expertise by
providing quick and objective solutions to team problems. I will
also anticipate problems using common managerial techniques
such as forecasting to ensure that the team moves in the right
direction.
19. To show consistency, I will lead by example and walk the talk.
For example, I will be the first to complete and present project
assignments without passing the deadline. I will also do what I
promise to do for the team. This entails honoring and following
through commitments. For example, if I promise to facilitate an
increment in the allowances of team members, I will work
tirelessly to ensure that this promise is fulfilled. Team members
are more likely to trust me if they believe that I will always
meet my end of the deal. Additionally, leading by example will
bring employees on board to work on a common goal.
Consistency in decision making will also enhance trust within
my team. I will not deviate from the team’s course in times of
adversary. I will also observe stability in terms of the team
strategy by not deviating from the approach that was agreed
upon at inception. Team members are more likely to trust me
when they are assured that I will not change my decisions
midway or even change the project objectives.
I believe that trust in the leader will yield cooperation within
the team. When positive relationships are maintained,
individuals are likely to cooperate and to trust the leaders.
However, as a leader, I will need to create the culture of
cooperation and collaboration at the initial stages of team
formation. This will be achieved by providing a talking
platform where team members can discus about their
backgrounds, competencies and work habits (Gratton, 2009).
The exercise will enhance the creation of critical working
relationships that foster cooperation.
In conclusion, I will build trust in the team through; enhancing
positive relationships, showing consistency and portraying
expertise/good judgment. I believe that addressing relationships
will be the most critical factor for enabling trust since team
members might not see the consistency or good judgment of the
leader if they don’t like him. On the other hand, cooperation
will result from the leader’s ability to create a culture of
20. cooperation and collaboration by providing an opportunity for
members to interact and share their experiences. It will also
result from increased trust towards the leader.

There are different leadership styles which are embraced by
different leaders in the organizations. There are those leadership
styles which does not give an opportunity to the employees to
contribute towards improvement in the performance of the
organization. In this type of leadership, the leader is the only
one who makes decisions in the organization. There are other
leadership styles which encourage the employee to give their
opinions on how the performance of the organization can be
improved.
I am both a charismatic and transformational leader because, in
my leadership style, I combine both qualities of a charismatic
leader and those of a transformational leader. The charismatic
leadership style entails having the leader supporting employees
as they are handling the tasks assigned to them. Also, they
motivate followers to improve the way things are done and also
they encourage them to get things done. This applies when the
tasks being handled are difficult hence the leader will encourage
them to continue with the tasks as he or she gives them the
support which they need ("Charismatic Leadership:
Measurement and Empirical Validity,").
As for the transformational leadership style, the leader allows
the employees to give their opinions regarding the changes
which are needed in the organization. After the members have
proposed the changes which should be carried out in an
organization, they also propose ways in which the changes will
be implemented. This means that the employees contribute to
the decisions which are made by the leader by giving their
opinions. To make it possible having the employees
contributing to the decision making regarding the operations of
22. the organization, the leader encourages freedom of expression
whereby the employees are free to express their ideas (Antonas,
2017).
The importance of these leadership styles is that it empowers
employees and makes them feel comfortable at the workplace.
When the employees are comfortable, they are able to deliver
the services effectively because when they face challenges, they
are free to discuss the problem with the leaders and decide the
way in which the problem will be solved. Also, when the
employees realize that their decisions are put into consideration
when the decisions are being made in the organization, they feel
appreciated and hence they will be willing to carry out their
duties effectively (Ewest, 2017).
This is an indication that leadership style determines the
performance of the organization. This is because when the
leader is the only one making decisions in the organization, then
the employees will feel that they are being forced and also when
they have a problem, they will not discuss it with their leader
and in turn, this will affect their performance. Employees
should be given an opportunity to express themselves regarding
what they want so that they can deliver the services effectively.
Also, they should feel free with their leaders so that when they
are facing challenges, they will be free to discuss them with
their leader.
Having employees who are free with their leaders depends on
how the leaders interact with them. This means that when the
leaders do not give them an opportunity to give their opinions
then it will be difficult for the employees to be free with their
leaders. Leaders should always interact freely with the
employees hence ensuring that the employees will be free to
discuss with him or her any issues or difficulties which are
faced in the organization. After identifying the problems which
are being faced in the organization, the employees will give
possible ways of handling them and the leader will give the
final decision (Uslu & Oklay, 2015).
The ideal leadership styles for any organization are
23. transformational leadership style and charismatic leadership
styles. This is because the two types encourage the contribution
of the employees to the improvement n the way the services are
rendered. Also, the type of leadership will make the employees
feel valued and thus they are comfortable at the workplace. The
leaders should, therefore, choose one of the leadership styles to
apply between the two and when possible they can be combined
because they will lead to the improved performance of the
employees. When the performance of the employees improves,
the organization will achieve its goals (Mhatre & Riggio, 2014).
In conclusion, my leadership styles are charismatic and
transformational styles because I combine the two. By
combining the two, it will ensure that the employees are
comfortable in the workplace and also they are free to give their
opinions regarding the changes which need to be carried out in
the organization. Also, I like encouraging the employees to get
things done by guiding them when they have difficulties and
encouraging them that they will succeed. Motivating employees
will ensure that they succeed in handling the tasks which have
been assigned to them. By helping the employees when handling
the tasks assigned to them and also by giving them an
opportunity to give their opinions regarding the changes which
should be done in the organization result in the combination of
charismatic leadership style and transformational style. When
these two leadership styles are combined, it is possible to
achieve the desired outcomes in the organization because the
employees are encouraged to work towards achieving their goals
and also they contribute towards the way in which the
organization operates by giving their opinions and the leader
will implement only the suitable ones.

How to Lead and Follow Well
A good leader should not only lead but should be also ready to
follow. To achieve these goals, first of all, a leader must first
define his own guiding principles, his own values, and the basic
beliefs that guide our own decisions and actions on our own
path. Identify his own values and find his voice. Carsten et al
(2010) proposes that leaders with good followers and those
willing to follow others have clear and clear values so that they
can have more sensible choices and the inner confidence needed
to make difficult decisions, rather than blindly imitating others.
This is a prerequisite for standing by. The title does not make
25. us a true leader. What really matters is the way we achieve
excellence. If a leader wants to win the promise and achieve the
highest performance, he must lead by example, take the lead in
modelling, and act as an example for others. Leadership is
influence, how to move others, and let the subordinates not only
agree with your actions, but also be willing to follow.
As revealed by Goffee and Jones (2006) leadership is a
relationship, the relationship between leaders and followers. As
leaders, they have never relied on their own individuals to
achieve excellence, but by mobilizing others and working
together for a common goal. Therefore, mutual respect and
newcomers, as leaders, it is important to take the initiative to
understand the wishes and needs of the following people. Listen
to the voice of the group. As leaders, the ability to establish and
maintain a certain interpersonal relationship determines the
success of their leadership. The key to building this relationship
is the follower's expectations of the leader. Through the author's
case study of the best personal leadership practice, the survey
statistics show that if people want to follow a certain leader
voluntarily, these leaders must have the top four quality (these
four qualities are selected by more than 60%): Sincere, forward-
looking, competent, and stimulating.
If the leader is not sincere, he will not be able to lead by
example. To share the vision, he must be forward-looking and
motivate. The premise of challenging the status quo is that you
must feel that you are competent; trustworthiness is the premise
of everything, sincere People can be trustworthy; promoting
people is trustworthy and crucial.
For the leader, only the dream is not enough. Leaders must also
be able to communicate this dream with excitement, motivate
people to be excited about this dream, and join the long journey
to realize their dreams. Therefore, people are expected to be
enthusiastic, energetic and optimistic. If leaders are not
passionate about their careers, why should others have them?
Leaders are not only passionate about their careers, dreams and
visions, but passionate about their followers. Leaders are full of
26. confidence in followers, a positive attitude to arouse the
confidence and enthusiasm of followers, and enhance the ability
and performance of followers (Blanchard et al 2009). The
ability here does not refer to the specific technical capabilities
required by the business, but to the past performance and ability
to do things. People need to believe that leaders can take them
where they want to go. People must see that leaders have the
appropriate experience and good judgment. Followers must also
be able to believe that leaders know where they are going and
have a vision for the future because we know that leaders are
not only the builders of the organization, but also the
organization and the meaning of the organization.
Conclusion
The importance of excellence to our organization is self-
evident. First, a strong leader can make our entire organization
operate more efficiently, producing a 1+1>2 effect. Second, it
can identify the direction and inspire people. In times of
difficulty, let the team be more confident and determined to
overcome difficulties and achieve goals. Finally, help us better
cope with risks and crises.

Leadership
Every leader has a communication style, conflict style and the
type of power that are using mostly depending on the
environment and personality among other factors. To
development an assertive and effective communication, the
daily interaction is very important. it will also enable one to
conflict style and the type of power that they use mostly. In this
essay, we are going to discuss the communication style, the
conflict style, and the type of power that I mostly use.
Communication Style
In every communication, assertiveness is always employed
because it is not a skilled that is reserved for the chosen few,
but for everyone and it needs practice if it is not used frequently
(Alonderiene & Majauskaite 2016). The technique can be
mastered at home or with the friends depending on the
persistence and the self-honesty. The communication styles are
important as they help in understanding a person and knowing
their reaction after passing the information. Before a person
28. decides that he or she wants to communicate assertively, the
understanding of the usual communication style is needed.
There are five communication styles that are used in different
situations and a person will mostly fall into a particular one
which is their default style. The one that is default to me is the
assertive styles.
The Assertive Style
The assertive communication is the most effective and the
healthiest communication style as it ranges between being too
passive and too aggressive (Tsai & Men 2017). Assertiveness
enables one to be confident and communication without
manipulation or resorting to the games. Because the person
knows his or her limits they do not allow to be pushed beyond
them because another person needs something. This is my main
style but to my surprise, most people do not use it.
I use the style mostly because it enables the achievement of the
goals without hurting others together with the protection of my
own rights and respective the rights of others (Newton n.d).
Also, it is beneficial to be because it enables one to make his or
her own choices and the understanding of the non-verbal
behaviors of an individual. Besides, the style enables the polite
communication together with respecting other and feeling them.
The style come to be the one that I use the most because this is
what I practice every day.
Conflict Style
Conflict is among the common things at any place and it can led
to mental issues, reduced productivity and the absenteeism at
the work place. On the other hand, conflict acts as a motivator
which brings new ideas and innovations thus increasing the
flexibility and understanding at the work environment (Benoliel
2017). But, the different conflicts have to be effectively
managed to facilitate the success of the organization. These
conflicts are majorly solved using the different styles,
compromising, competing, avoiding, collaborating, and
accommodating depending on its own benefits. With me, the
style that I use mostly is the collaborating conflict management
29. style.
The conflict collaborating managing style uses both the
cooperative and assertiveness ways for finding the solutions.
Cooperative and assertiveness works together to identify the
solution that is very confortable will all the parties without
favoring one. Due to the equal judgment on both sides, the
negative feelings of the outcome is avoided hence peace at work
(Benoliel 2017). Besides, the style enhances equity and honesty
hence the most effective style that I practice because is not into
favorism. The style is highly utilized to solve the conflicts at
the workplace that arises every day without favoring one part.
Judgment is done basing on the facts and the truth.
Type of Power
An effective leader is able to understand how to manage power
together with the employees and the tasks. The type of power
that I mostly use is the referent power which has the ability of
building loyalty with others while attracting them. The power
gives respect to all the bodies of the organization basing on the
values of the respective leader (Prescott 2015). The style can
be studied, developed or born with it and exercised in the field
for effectiveness.
As a leader, this type of power is utilized by the leader when
they respect every member of the organization regardless of the
race, gender, disability, and religion among others. When the
respect is from the top management, the other employees will
also emulate the same character hence effective management of
the organization (Iqbal et al., 2015). Besides, respect facilitates
effectiveness and efficiency at the work place hence maximum
production. The style is very effective in all the organization as
it enhance respect which among the leader aspects for
effectiveness in the organization.
In conclusion, the communication, conflict and the leadership
styles are among the basics foundation of managing the
organization. The style that the leaders practice under this is
what will determine how the organization will succeed. Leader
have to choose the styles that are most beneficial not to them
30. but also the whole organization. If they are born with these
styles, they can learn and practice them regularly for effective
management of the organization.

ACQUIRED NEEDS THEORY

ACQUIRED NEEDS THEORY

31. Acquired Needs Theory
Bruna Martins
BU 521 Organizational Leadership
Instructor: Dr. Michelle L. Clemons
April 2019
Acquired Needs Theory
The acquired needs theory presents that individuals acquire
specific needs over time and an individual’s life experiences
shape these needs. Grounded on this theory, individuals have
three motivational needs including achievement, power, and
affiliation. Every individual has an ambition for achievement,
power, or affiliation and each individual is driven by one of
these needs. These three needs influence an individual’s
motivation and effectiveness in job functions. Therefore,
understanding what motivates each of the employees is
important for a leader to motivate the employees.
One of the needs in this acquired needs theory is the need for
achievement. It entails the desire of an individual for
considerable achievements, skill mastery, control, or high
32. standards (Lussier & Achua, 2015). Employees having a high
need for achievement do not seek power or approval but rather
success. Such employees avoid low-risk activities since they are
easy to accomplish and thus cannot measure success and void
high-risk activities for fear of failure or success may be
attributed to luck and not actual effort (Arnolds & Boshoff,
2003). Employees with a high need for achievement value
success as a result of the effort level they exert. They also value
feedback as they progress.
Therefore, a leader can motivate these employees by giving
them nonroutine and challenging tasks having cleat and
attainable objectives. This is because, employees with a high
need for achievement prefer challenging tasks as such tasks
stretch their abilities and measure their success (Wu, Matthews,
& Dagher, 2007). However, as much as the tasks assigned to
these employees are challenging, the leader should ensure that
these tasks are of moderate difficulty since such tasks have a
moderate success probability and the success outcomes are due
to their effort and not luck. As well, a leader need not give such
employees immediate and frequent on their performance since
high achievers want rapid feedback to measure whether they are
improving or not (Wu et al., 2007). As well, a leader needs to
give high achievers increased responsibility to do new things
since such employees seek personal responsibility in finding
solutions to problems.
Another need in the acquired needs theory is power. Employees
with a need for power are authority motivated. They are driven
by the needs to control others, be influential, effective and
make an impact (Lussier & Achua, 2015). Such employees have
a strong need to lead and for their ideas and contributions to
prevail. The employees need either personal or institutional
power. Those needing personal power wants to control and
direct others, and this is undesirable, and those needing
institutional power wants to organize others’ efforts to achieve
organizational goals, and this is desirable (Aworemi, Abdul-
Azeez & Durowoju, 2011). Those with a high need for power do
33. not seek recognition or approval but rather agreement and
compliance.
A leader can leverage the potential of those employees needing
power to positively support team goals and help others in the
team feel competent. Motivating employees with a high need for
power necessitates a leader to let such employees plan and
control their job functions as much as possible since they drive
their motivation from being in charge (Arnolds & Boshoff,
2003). As well, a leader should include such employees in
decision-making, in particular, if the decisions affect them since
power-driven employees desired to be influential and make an
impact. As well, since power-drive individual prefers to work
alone rather than in a team, a leader can place such employee
into competitive and status-oriented tasks. Additionally, for
those employees that need institutional power, a leader can
assign such employees to leadership positions in teams since
they are effective in organizing the efforts of others in a team to
achieve a common goal (Aworemi et al., 2011).
The last need in the acquired need theory is the need for
affiliation. Individual with a high need for affiliation drive
motivation from friendly and close interpersonal relationships
(Lussier & Achua, 2015). Such individuals strive for
harmonious relationships with others and need to feel accepted
by others. They are not inclined to competitive situations but
rather cooperative situations. They desire relationships which
encompass high mutual understanding degree. They prefer work
which offers significant personal interactions, and thus they are
good at working in teams (Chapman & Schwartz, 2010). They
seek approval rather than recognition.
Motivating employees with a high need for affiliation would
necessitate a leader to assign or let such employees to work as
part of a team. Having a strong bond with others makes
affiliation-driven employees feel they belong somewhere and
get a sense of being part of something and this gives them
motivation (Chapman & Schwartz, 2010). Besides, such
employees are supportive team members. The tasks that these
34. employees do are not drivers of their satisfaction. These
individuals get satisfaction from working with other people. As
well, a leader needs to give the affiliation-driven employees lots
of praises since such employees prefer approval (Chapman &
Schwartz, 2010).
In conclusion, a leader can utilize the acquired needs theory to
motivate the employees. First, a leader needs to understand the
needs of the employees. This enables a leader to identify
employees who are either motivated by achievement, power, or
affiliation. For the achievement-driven employees, a leader
needs to assign such employees moderate difficulty task since
these employees drive motivation from carrying out challenging
but attainable tasks. For the power-driven employees, a leader
needs to let such employees plan and control their job functions
and participate in decision-making. For the affiliation-driven
employees, a leader needs to let such employees work as part of
a team.
