...The Indian diplomat in the U.S, Devayani Kobragade who hired an Indian maid was found to be paying her much below the U.S. daily wage salary. The diplomat had given misinformation about the salary of her maid. This was detected by the US police and they arrested the Indian diplomat, handcuffed her, strip-searched her and detained her in a room with sexual workers, drug peddlers etc for 24 hours. This news through media and social network spread like a wild fire and created widespread resentment among general public of the entire the country. This incident sparked a standoff between India and the U.S. India too immediately took steps to counter the aggressive attitude of the US towards Indian diplomat. This it did by removing high security zone status given to the US embassy in New Delhi. It also asked the US embassy staff to surrender the diplomatic status card within 24 hours that gave immunity to them from being searched at the airports. This stray incident continued for some time but soon both the countries realized that this may hamper not only the diplomatic relationship but also Indo-US partnership going on in various sectors. Both the countries recognised the necessity to deescalate the tension and find an amicable solution through negotiations. The American state department that initially remained defiant later accepted India's point of view that the diplomat enjoyed diplomatic immunity and allowed her to move from their country. This diplomatic row could...

Academy of Management Perspectives, 26, 66-85. One definition of management is: “Getting things done through other people.” Yukl, in contrast, states “the essence of leadership in organizations is influencing and facilitating efforts to accomplish shared objectives’ (p. 66). 1. Yukl presents a table on p. 68 that lists 15 leadership behaviors. a. Which of these behaviors are more commonly exhibited by both managers and leaders? (1 point) Answer: If I accept the above definition that management is “getting things done through other people”, and that Yukl considers leaders to influence and facilitate efforts to accomplish shared objectives, then I have determined that there are seven of Yukl’s behaviors that are commonly exhibited by both managers and leaders. These include: planning, clarifying, monitoring, problem solving, recognizing, empowering, and networking. Yukl’s task-oriented behaviors, described as leadership behaviors, can also be relevant for managers who “get things done through other people”. On page 69, Yukl describes that task-oriented behaviors “ensure that people, equipment, and other resources are used in an efficient way to accomplish the mission of a group or organization.” These are specific, measurable concepts that a manager can delegate to “get things...

...In the article of “Seven Transformations of Leadership”, the authors, David Rooke and William R. Torbert, point out what is leaders’ action logic and how they influence leaders’ success by breaking down seven types leadership, Opportunist, Diplomat, Expert, Achiever, Individualist, Strategist, and Alchemist. It is a realistic statistic based on a 25 years of extensive surveyed research and sampled managers and professionals, between 25yrs-55yrs, at American and European Companies. It says every leader type differs from other by how those leaders interpret their surroundings and react when their power or safety is challenged. Once leaders who want to make an effort to understand their own action logic, they then can improve their ability to lead, so first of all a leader must understands what kind of leader you are. Expert typed action logic takes 38% that says the most of leaders and managers in the research belong to this leadership. They try to exercise self control by perfecting their knowledge, both in the professional and personal lives and they are so completely sure they are right because they usually use personal data to support their ideas and use loud voice persuading others. While they tend to work individually due to their untrusted character to their subordinations they may become hard to communicate very well. The most important is they lack of enough emotional intelligence to deal with this threating leadership. With so many leaders and managers represent...

...Melvin Coe Thomas Edison State College SOC-384-OL010 Abstract In this paper I will attempt to prove that gangs are a problem in our society today and jails are not the solution to this problem. I will also attempt to show that people and organizations on watch are not only slowing down gang activity, but in all their power trying to put an end to it. Gang Activity in Camden I also did my own research about the gang activities in Camden and surrounding areas. This came up with a lot of interesting information that I did not know anything about. The arrests and sentencing factors associated with these gangs, the policing to reduce gang corners, and the violence cause by these gang members. For my online searches I used google and Firefox. This is where I typed in the information and was able to access the Newsworks, which gives you a break down by city or state. I also went on the Temple University site, which I was able to research data in their Department of Criminal Justice. I wanted to familiarize myself with some of the policies that the police and government are trying to put in place to stop the gang violence. A friend of mines who is a Paralegal allowed me do access her LexisNexis program, which gives you a lot of details on cases involving gangs not only in your area, but others as well. Interview: On Friday, June 5, 2015; I spoke with a retired police officer, which he did not want his real name to be mentioned, so we will call...

...As the leader of the United States of America and, the President of the United States has many roles. Some of these roles are made just for the President. Some of these roles include Commander-in-Chief, Chief Diplomat, and Party Leader. In this paper I will discuss these three roles of the president. One of the most important roles of the President of the United States is that of Commander-in-Chief. This is one of the president's most important roles. It means all of the military leaders report to and take orders from the president. The president performs as a leader who is not in the military, therefore, the president has multiple military chiefs when it comes to setting military policy to be sure the actions taken are in the best interest...

...The similarities and narratives being told in both Ahiska’s piece and Altinay’s piece correlate in theory and discourse. The resemblances between the two narratives are striking and complimentary of one another even though the focus of both articles are different, yet they share characteristics of remembrance, counter-memory symbolism, state and power structures. In this essay I will demonstrate the relationship in narrative and substance, which both authors are discussing. Aysi Gul Altinay is focused on the Armenian Genocide of 1915 by the hands of their Turkish rulers and the following historical counter-memory provided by Turkish nationalist historiography, specifically on the implications on the ‘un-silencing’ of the ‘Armenian question.’ Turkish nationalist history has largely accepted the silence on the events of 1915 as the historical norm, not to be questioned. In a way it is worse that this discussion, which has only surfaced recently in mainstream Turkish society, is not one of responsibility for the massacre of an estimated 2 million Armenians but rather one of the very existence of these atrocities. What few pieces of archived information that exist from 1915-1920 do not give specifics on the fate of so many Armenian women and children but do point to the survival of large numbers of women and children through Islamization. Ataturk’s own biographer gave reason and definition to the reason behind the organized historical silence of all things Armenian genocide by...

...www.hbr.org Leaders are made, not born, and how they develop is critical for organizational change. Seven Transformations of Leadership by David Rooke and William R. Torbert Reprint R0504D Leaders are made, not born, and how they develop is critical for organizational change. Seven Transformations of Leadership by David Rooke and William R. Torbert COPYRIGHT © 2005 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Most developmental psychologists agree that what differentiates leaders is not so much their philosophy of leadership, their personality, or their style of management. Rather, it’s their internal “action logic”—how they interpret their surroundings and react when their power or safety is challenged. Relatively few leaders, however, try to understand their own action logic, and fewer still have explored the possibility of changing it. They should, because we’ve found that leaders who do undertake a voyage of personal understanding and development can transform not only their own capabilities but also those of their companies. In our close collaboration with psychologist Susanne CookGreuter—and our 25 years of extensive survey-based consulting at companies such as Deutsche Bank, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Hewlett-Packard, NSA, Trillium Asset Management, Aviva, and Volvo—we’ve worked with thousands of executives as they’ve tried to develop their leadership skills. The good news is that leaders who make an effort to un- derstand their own action...

...means having little to regret. Living with honesty is less about persistently resorting to truth over deception, and is more about living your life in a way that is “honest” to who you are on the inside — your strengths, your gifts, and your passions, as well as your beliefs and morals. Being true to ourselves should undoubtedly help lead us to what most of us strive for in life —some form of fulfillment. For, if we stay true to ourselves and to our nature, we are all more likely to pursue something about which we are passionate; when our careers or life goals are driven by what we love, we are more likely to find that sense of fulfillment. Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, when you stay true to yourself the choices and decisions you make every day are seldom ever regretted because your motivations for those choices and decisions were not influenced by ulterior motives or anyone other than yourself. And having so little to regret from living with honesty is something truly beautiful. Honesty is one of the most important and beneficial habits a person can acquire. It is because of this habit you reap several benefits in life. While practicing honesty in life, you are free from worries of being caught in the act of your dishonesty. Thus you will be free from anxiety and stress. Practicing honesty also removes fear of all kind and it helps maintaining calmness and establishes peace of mind. With a stable...

...of Gettysburg rolled around. In remembrance of the falling soldier on both sides, Woodrow Wilson gave an address at Gettysburg in 1913. During the speech, he does not just give remarks about the sacrifices that the Civil War soldiers gave but, also what the fifty years since the battle has meant to America. Another time when Woodrow Wilson used as his role of Chief of State, was when he set the date of Thanksgiving Day in 1914. He designated Thursday the 26th of November to be Thanksgiving for that year. Being a highly religious man, Wilson writes about how Thanksgiving should not just be a day to have a large family gathering but, more importantly, a holiday where people should give thanks to the Lord for all he has done for America. In 1913, Wilson gave a speech at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. He reflects on the years he spent was the President of Princeton College. He also inspires the students at the college to push past their limits, not just for their well-being, but also for the good of America. This was reoccurring theme throughout many of Woodrow Wilson’s speeches, he would continually push the common man past his previous limits for the betterment of America. Woodrow Wilson took great pride in his role as the Chief of...

...The American President has a lot of different jobs that must be filled some more rigorous than others. Andrew Shepherd did an excellent job overall at being president even though many people made the argument that he had no prior military experience before being president. Shephard was very effective at jobs such as Chief executive, Chief legislator, Head of state, and Chief Diplomat. Even though many people believed that Shepard was awful at being Commander in Chief but he did what was necessary. “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States” (Article 2 of the constitution). He showed this power and Chief Executive when he used an executive order on an airline attack. The president shall have the power...

Under this pattern, short term mediation success is most likely early in the life of a rivalry while extended term mediation success is most likely late in the lifetime of enduring rivalries. The second pattern highlights the difference in the degree to which both short term and extended term mediation success depends on strategic shifts within the regimes of enduring rivals. Short term mediation success requires lower levels of change in the conflictual strategies pursued by enduring rivals. Extended term mediation processes entail more fundamental changes in the manner in which enduring rival relate to one another. The third pattern demonstrates the differing influence of mediations being initiated by...

...2. Identify the victors at the Battle of Trafalgar. Where is this battle most highly commemorated and why? Map of the battle and deployment of ships during the battle of Trafalgar from National Geographic. [1] “Six thousand Frenchmen and Spaniards were killed or wounded at Trafalgar as well as 1,700 Britons; nineteen enemy ships were taken and one sunk; but the immensity of the victory at Trafalgar transcended such mundane calculations. It guaranteed British control of the oceans, and the creation of a unique global power that would endure for more than a century. The iconic value of the two names Nelson and Trafalgar for the British state was immense: they would be combined in many forms, most obviously in the centre of imperial London.”[2] This quote taken form Andrew Lambert’s article on the lasting effects of the battle of Trafalgar illustrates the significance of that battle of the world’s stage. The battle reinforced British supremacy of the seas and set forth the uncontested dominance of the British Empire throughout the globe. The fact that the British Empire then dominated the seas led directly to their ability to develop as a nation state and to influence the political landscape of Europe. Nations of Europe that had any interest in maritime trade with others now had to contend with the British Empire. The maritime supremacy of Great Britain, secured at the Battle of Trafalgar, is arguably one of the most important aspects of...
