...Preamble. Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and direct the team in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. That means, Leaders aim to influence and guide others in pursuing particular objectives and visions of the future and to simulate them into wanting to follow (Ian Brooks, 2009). Therefore leadership is about managing people, and in managing people, team must be formed. A team can be a group of people coming together to collaborate to reach a shared goal or task for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. They are interdependently geared towards the achievement of a common goal or completion of a task. From the discussion question, among other things, I am require to ‘demonstrate my power of influence’ Ian Brooks (2009), over my team members in achieving this goal or completing this task. I can carry out this process by applying my leadership attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, characters, knowledge and skills. Although, my position as a Technical Professional lead, gives me the authority to accomplish certain tasks and objectives in my organization or team, this power does not make me a leader, it simply make me a boss. Leadership differs in that it makes the followers want to achieve high goals, rather than simply bossing people around. SHARED MENTAL MODELS.

...The scenario we have chosen: A step-by-step strategy: firstly, staying in the US and developing other sectors like petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals to enforce their position in the United-States focusing on their core competency, their product and its development. After having fully understood in terms of existing strengths, management experience and talent, and current and future opportunities, an expansion could be plan. Advantages: • The US market represents is under-served and under exploited. It is in an infancy stage since it represents $600 millions and they have only reached $5.3 million in sales, so far from this potential market. The $900 million petrochemicals and pharmaceutical market is practically untouched • This US market is their core strength since they have no existing competitors. However, imitation of their product is possible and therefore, they have to maximize the domestic market share and implement tactical and strategic actions. • This market doesn’t entail any the problems that going into the international market implies. For instance, complicating factors such as product customization, familiarization with potential clients and markets, coordinating activities, procuring the necessary skills and talent to implement the strategy effectively, and fresh learning of language, culture, government policies and business risks.

...BP Paper Rough Draft 11/23/2012 April 20, 2012 British Petroleums drilling vessel Deepwater Horizon suffered an explosion, and then began expelling enormous amounts of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Although many different individuals and organizations attempted to help BP fix their spewing well, it wasn’t until July 15 that the vent was cut off. Through our research we have developed an analysis that examines the cause of the cause of the disaster, the event itself and its aftermath. We would also like to offer our recommendations on the subject. British Petroleum is an international oil company base in London and is one the nations leading oil and gas producer (History of oil spill). In spite of BP’s market share, as a company they have an unfortunate history of safety breeches including a 2005 explosion at oil refinery in Texas (Deep Water dDrilling). These accidents seem to be a cause of weak corporate safety culture and cost leadership (On average, fifty percent of management bonuses were awarded on the basis of cost cutting). The lack of proper safety practice and absence of oversight has ultimately resulted in infrastructure and architectural failure (Deep Water Drilling). As with any disaster, each party involves attempts to prove their innocence and are all too quick to point a finger at a party that must be guiltier than they and the Deepwater Horizon spill is no different. Although BP owned the oil, other companies had considerable interaction with Horizon;...

...and Transocean management and employees. The Deepwater Horizon vessel was an exploratory rig assigned the duty of finding oil, reporting it, and capping the well for another extracting type rig to come in and harvest the oil. While drilling the well, the rig encountered pockets of natural gas buildups where it was drilling. A week prior to the fatal explosion, Horizon encountered one of these pockets and the natural gas began to rise up the drill bore and began surfacing on the rig platform. When this happened, an immediate freeze was put on all activities to prevent an explosion. These same events would eventually play a part in the explosions aboard Horizon. A second major factor was the cementing process. When the well was being prepared for closure so another rig could use it in the future, the team...

A hard line training involving controlled education filled with militarism, instilling the need for a healthy and robust physical well being, for the future mothers; additionally indoctrinated values which entailed a strong and almost passionate sense of duty to the city, justifying, if need be, dramatic sacrifices. It is a topic worthy of investigation for it raises the importance of women in Sparta as that of differing nature compared to known at the time social norms, in other city-states. It is also worthy of analysis as it is important to explore how women transcended from the conventionalities of their role and demonstrated a role of authority and of choice. Moreover it merits of investigation determining the methods and tools available to them for cementing this socially elevated part; by equally exploring how values although dictated and imposed by the male dominating political elite onto women, allowed them social maneuverability. Lastly is worthy of investigation to determine the extent upon which women in the process-sacrificed aspects of their femininity only to serve the state’s militaristic character. ...

...…………………….My Course: My Self-Efficacy and Locus of Control……….……….. Name: Me Concept Paper No: 1 Course/Yr: BS Psychology 2 Date: 2 – 8 – 15 In the recent years of being a psychology major, I have learned many things including, but not limited to, the foundations and an overview of psychology, the various people that have contributed to this ever growing field of science, and of course, the schools of thought. One of these schools of thought is behaviorism, and among the many in this area are the two men, Albert Bandura, and Julian Rotter, who introduced the concepts of self-efficacy and the locus of control respectively. Self-efficacy refers to the person’s belief in herself, her capacity to do and accomplish things- her esteem, while the locus of control refers to what the person attributes something to, her failures, for example- was it because she herself did not try hard enough, or was it because something or someone else ruined it for her? Dwelling on these two concepts now, I believe they can both be summarized into a quote from a prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr, which goes… “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” As a psychology major… a student, and I think it applies to everyone else as well, it all boils down to the simple line that I mentioned. Our choices, our decisions… it all depends upon what we choose to do. The self-efficacy and the locus of control...

...administration, so Augustus was laying the foundations for future Romans to govern effectively. Perhaps the most important contribution of Augustus was his efforts to improve the lives of his citizens. When soldiers returned from war, he would distribute land and money in return for their services. During years where taxes fell short of the government’s desired sum, Augustus gave his personal money to the treasury. He even provided for the entertainment of the Roman people, organizing gladiator shows and athletic competitions (Augustus). These all exemplify his efforts to put the well-being of the state before himself. For women in particular, Augustus took strides to create more equality in marriage. He gave women the right to be independent from their male partners if they reached a certain number of children. (McKay 147) While this was not near equality, it was a step in the right direction. The people of the Roman Empire must have loved Augustus for all he did to improve Rome and its colonies. Augustus effectively commanded the Roman army to settle conflicts among Romans, and also to expand the empire into new territories. In addition, Augustus managed the construction projects that rebuilt Rome. Finally, Augustus enhanced citizen’s lives through donations, entertainment, and social reforms. While Res Gestae Divi Augusti must be examined with some scrutiny because it is an autobiography with the intention of cementing his legacy as a divine ruler, it does provide evidence...

...the man over for dinner. The two would discuss all from social issues to growing certain crops. The discussion would last hours on end and by the time all was said and done it was all ready morning. The two would also discuss the future of Gregor. Watson insisted Mickey take Gregor under his wing and dive into the metaphysical. Mickey (initially reluctant) eventually agreed to take over Holmes in Gregor’s tutelage. Holmes was a little unnerved at the idea of losing someone who came to be one of his greatest friends. But with a little coaxing from Watson the two eventually came to the agreement of a shared instructor program for Gregor. Gregor was ecstatic about this prospect as he was still able to be taught by an Icon and his best friend Mr. Holmes. The first of Mickey’s lessons with Gregor involved deconstructing a set of baby dolls. A disturbed Gregor asked “Mr. Walters, why do we have to did we have to go about performing this kind of activity?” Mickey pauses for a moment and thinks about an appropriate retort. “As inquisitive and brilliant as you are young man how are you not able to put the pieces together?. We are taking apart each and every single one of these unique baby dolls as a means of cementing a fundamental rule into your head. No matter how different an individual looks from you or a group of people they are still deserving of the same amount of respect that you give to me, Dr. Watson, or even Mr. Holmes.” “AH, I understand...

...ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR: BALANCING TEAM DEVELOPMENT VS. OBJECTIVES Final Paper BA590 Organizational Behavior: Balancing Team Development vs. Objectives The modern day workforce has come a long way of the task oriented individuals performing specific functions of the past to a lean and adaptive force striving to innovate organizational vision and spearheading the project life cycle process from inception to completion effortlessly. After 2009, more than 25% of people 25 years or older had more than a Bachelor’s degree, compared to just under 5% of the same demographic 50 years ago according to a Census Bureau report (Ryan, Seibens 2012). With that said, the statistics presented in a 2010 New York Times article discussing the importance of Post-Secondary Education and the recession showed that only 3.1 percent of college graduates were unemployed compared the national average unemployment rate of 7.3 percent illustrating the desire for employers to consider academically accomplished jobseekers and professionals over those who have experience (Rampell, 2013). With these numbers present, It’s critical for organizations which hire employees, regardless of their experience levels, to incorporate an environment for team and employee development while balancing the vision and mission of the organization in order to equip themselves with skilled professionals who aid in attaining organizational goals while retaining an internal sense of value and self-improvement. Why...

...citizenry. Having equal access to a decent education is the assumption that underlies this premise. But the ways in which rapid advances in technology are adopted have both positive and negative implications for schools and for broader society in general. Preparing For The Workforce One of the most positive results of schools embracing new technologies is found when low-income students gain skills they otherwise wouldn’t. The ability to type, use email and execute basic computer functions like Word and Excel are imperative in today’s workforce. When students who have no access to computers at home learn these skills specifically because of technology in the classroom, they have a far greater chance of moving from have-nots to haves in the future. Having technological competence gives them a better chance of success in the workforce and gives them a greater ability and confidence to pursue online education university options.

...investigation report was seen as a significant indicator as it was conducted by the regulator responsible for offshore activities. The blowout at the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 killed 11 people and led to almost 5 million barrels of oil being spilt into the ocean. BP's share price rose almost 5% in London on rumours the report would help avert the company being found grossly negligent in future, which would increase its financial liabilities hugely. But it fell back after the report was published, finishing the day up 3.5% at 395.1p. The investigation, jointly conducted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (Boemre) and the US Coast Guard, stated that a "central cause" of the blowout was the failure of a cement barrier in the drilling apparatus. The cement job was done by a contractor, Halliburton, but the report states that BP was, as designated operator, "ultimately responsible" for safety on the rig. It also stated that, in the days before the blowout, BP had "made a series of decisions that complicated cementing operations, added...
