...considered a basic skill of the individual who wants to be efficient in every phase and activity of life. Thus, students should determine their purpose and methods and plan their time for the short-, mid-, and long term. Research has shown that some students plan their studies but cannot implement the plans worry about what to do when this happen (Can, 2000)” (p.6). I learned growing up that everything that a person do, such as going to school has to do with time. According to Ellis (2011), when you manage your time your life does not happen by chance. (p. 74). In school the daily schedule, class hours, or any project assignments must be done in a timely fashion. As a result of having to manage time in the military, have taught me to schedule things I need to do away from the military. An example like for this class I learn to set of daily time frame to work on my assignments. Another personal responsibility is being responsible for...

...and see what the group thinks, but maybe my idea will get shut down because we are not comfortable with each other. Oh look! there is an older gentleman in our group. I should just listen to what he says.” In chinese culture, I was taught to respect my elders and follow their commands. This put me in a mindset to be a follower and hold back my ideas. I began making eye contact with the older gentleman (Chuck), and whether he noticed the constant stares from me or not, he began to take initiative and lead the group. Prior to taking a class in organizational behavior, I would have just brushed my behavior off and not extracted any useful lessons from the hula-hoop example. As I study organizational behavior, I thought about the hula-hoop example on a daily basis. How do I identify myself in a group environment? What Did You Learn About Yourself? In my intermediate accounting class (ACCTG 620), we are required to work in groups of four to complete in-class assignments. These assignments typically take up the majority of the class time, and are always challenging. Within my group, I unknowingly became the leader of the group. During our third in-class assignment, my group had a question that needed to be clarified by the professor. I was only made aware that I was elected as the unofficial leader when my fellow group member,...

...Benjamin Genous DeVry University Week 6 Assignments –Case Study Management 303 1. Brief describe the five kinds of power available to leaders and/or managers. I. Reward power, means an employee believes they are going to get some type of reward for doing their job. The reward could be pay, days off, etc. The employee believes the reward will be coming from the supervisor. II. Coercive power is a supervisor intimidating an employee to do the work or they can be fired or demoted. This can be compared to someone having a power trip complex. III. Legitimate Power, does an officer believe that the orders being given are true even if they may be coming from a higher power that does not normally give out orders to the police. An example used is an officer receiving powers from the Chief of Police and the commanding officer follows through to make sure their officers are conducting the instructions. The officer believes in his commander as he works with them all of the time and although the Chief is the highest manager, the officer knows that the commander is the one who will be making sure follow through takes place. IV. Referent power is when one person has an attraction somehow to the person giving the power. The individual will basically do anything the person with power says because the attraction is so strong. An example could be a group of teens with one teen just trying to become one of the members and they tell him to jump off a bridge. The outsider...

...Self – Awareness Paper Danmeng Yin Lec 03 Student #: 1000366141 It is not unfamiliar to most people that they tend to receive positive feedbacks from their bosses, colleagues and friends. When they take those complements with rejoice and think that is who they really are, they fail to realize the foolishness on their end. While people tend to give credit to themselves when the result turns favorable, it is a normal practice that they place blame on externalities when things go south. However, they should be thinking within themselves about what really contributed to the result, especially in modern world where leadership skill is closely related to a person’s overall performance at work. That leads us to the conclusion that the importance of self-awareness can not be neglected. In fact, research has shown that the development of self-awareness if the first step in building leaderful practices which might simply start with some reflection about one’s strengths, weaknesses, believes and actions and how those may affect others. (Scott, 2004). Self-awareness enables people to identify their own needs, desire, strengths and weaknesses. It is a stepping stone to making wiser decisions. A person who doesn’t know he is doing anything wrong is not motivated to be put right. In this paper I am going to self-identify the strengths and weaknesses of me, enumerate real examples and discuss the impacts of these traits on my performance at work or school. After that, a detailed...

...Assignment 1: Comparison of Two Religions Judaism is a religion which is a set of ideas about the world and how we should live up to it. Jewish belief also centers on the idea of one God and the love that He shares with all his creations through his covenant. Jews do not have a specific set of mandatory beliefs and rituals they have to follow, but one Jewish belief is the Rambam's thirteen principles of faith. The Jews practice their faith in many ways some people go to festivals or Shabbat for prayer services to read the Torah. Others may go to temples or synagogues which are Jewish houses for prayer and studying. Most Jews practice their faith reading the Torah which is known as the Old-Testament or Tanakh.(Judaism, 1968) There are three holy books the Jews study they consist of the: Torah which is the Law, Nevi'im the Prophets and lastly Kethuvim known as the Writings. The Jews also practice their faith by obeying the 613 mitzvot as well as they could, following the Judaism Rabbinic law and rules. One example of Jews practicing their faith is celebrating Hanukkah. (Kaplan, 1932) This is basically a Christmas for Jewish people, they light up a nine-branched candle known as the menorah. They do various activities such as lighting up a candle every night and eight candles would be lit in the last evening, eating oily foods reminding them of the miracle of the oil and play games such as "dreidel" which is a game with spinning tops that includes four Hebrew letters.

...87 .,~. Peer Tutoring and the "Conversation of Mankind" by Kenneth A. Bruffee The beginnings of peer tutoring lie in practice, not in theory. A decade or so ago, faculty and administrators in a few institutions around the country became aware that, increasingly, students entering college had difficulty doing as well in academic studies as their abilities suggested they should be able to do. Some of these students were in many ways poorly prepared academically. Many more of them, however, had on paper excellent secondary preparation. The common denominator among the poorly prepared and the apparently well prepared seemed to be that, for cultural reasons we may not yet fully under stand, all these students had difficulty adapting to the traditional or "normal" conventions of the college classroom. One symptom of the difficulty was that many of these students refuSed .help when it was offered. Mainly, colleges offered ancillary programs staffed by professionals. Students avoided them in droves. Many solutions to this problem were suggested and tried, from mandated programs to sink-or-swim. One idea that seemed at the time among the most exotic and unlikely (that is, in the jargon of the Sixties, among the most "radical") turned out to work rather well. Some of us had guessed that students were refusing the help we were providing because it seemed to them merely an extension of the work, the expectations, and above all the social structure of traditional classroom learning. And...

...Changing Face of Police Management For law enforcement agencies to succeed its current leadership style and practices must change to keep up with these progressive times. The old authoritarian style of leadership of conformity and unyielding compliance will no longer work today. One of the reasons for law enforcement agencies to prepare now rather later is because the face of law enforcement is evolving. As veteran officers retire a new generation of police officers are being hired and are currently or soon will be leaders in their agencies. To prepare for this eventuality, law enforcement agencies need to develop them by using a shared leadership model, by enhancing their communication skills as well as creating a strategic plan for their agency. By addressing these key issues, agencies will become more successful in obtaining its organizational goals. For an organization is to succeed they need to understand the generational differences between the specific generations affecting law enforcement, “Baby Boomers”, “Generation X” and “Generation Y.” In an article written by McCafferty, he describes the differences of the generations: Demands on police officers in the past 30 years have grown dramatically with the increasing threats to social order and personal security. Selection of police officers has always been difficult, but now with the increasing demand and complexity of police work, along with the candidates applying from Generation X and even Generation...

...WORKING WITH AND LEADING People ASSIGNMENT BRIEF The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the job. So what is this thing of working with others to create something new? To create something which none of us could create on our own? To create something which is often more than the sum of the parts? Surely that’s what organizations do. But somehow I do not see many advertisements for leader of function, general leader, senior leader, corporate leader, leading director, chief executive leader, shop floor leader, finance leader. I do see advertisements for head of function, general manager, senior manager, corporate executive, managing director, chief executive officer, shop floor supervisor, and finance manager. Is it purely semantics? Just words, or is there a meaning behind the words? I think that there is meaning. And I think that there is a different meaning to leader and manager. And that there is a need for different types of leadership in different types of change. This means that there are actually fewer common threads in this chapter. So unlike other chapters, this assignment will separately address the different ways of leading the four main types of change. The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people...
