The owners, coaches and some players can all be considered leaders and each is vital in the success or failure of a team. The owners must understand the business aspects and be able to make the right financial decisions; they must also hire the right coaches. The coaches must be able to recruit the right players and also be able to motivate them. There are also leaders among the players, they have to encourage the players to work as a team and help new players to become a part of the team. Each of the leaders must understand the connections between leading and winning. The owners have to let the coaches’ lead the players and the players must not only listen to the coaches but the players that have been designated as leaders.

People can become leaders through the process of teaching, learning and observation. Leadership is a set of skills that can be learned by training, perception, practice and experience over time. Some people think leaders are born naturally intelligent, strategic, visionary and charismatic, able to articulate a plan and rally their teams around it. Others believe that leaders are made through needing ongoing experience, training, coaching and mentoring. Some would also say that leaders are both born and made naturally intelligent and enhanced with education, training, coaching and experience A leader is either a captain of a group or a person who is able to organize, manage, make decision, analyze, negotiate, solve problem, and train people.

...LEADERSHIP PROFILE 2 Crismeldy Santos Liberty University BUSI 503 Leadership profile The behavioral approach explained in this chapter talks about leaders’ approach to tasks and relationships behavior. This approach is not meant to define what makes a good leader based oh his behavior, rather is helps me understand if I am a task oriented leader or a people oriented leader. In this behavioral approach questionary my result was 47 in task behavior and 45 in relationship behavior, very high range in both scenarios. As a leader I believe in task behavior, I am a person oriented to results and finding the best way of achieving the goals we had planned for the group. I would do my best to make everybody feel like they are doing something that is meaningful. Northouse (2016) says that “the behavioral approach provides a framework for assessing leadership in a broad way, as behavior with a task and relationship dimension”. In her article How to behave like a leader Asmus (2014) says that practice makes a great leader and I couldn’t agree more. She mentioned a couple steps that I think can help me improve my leadership behavior: 1. Observe myself and others. 2. Discuss with a peer group. 3. Act on what you I’m learning. 4. Ask for feed back on how I am performing. 5. And adjust to be better. Below you can find the answers to the behavioral approach questions. Reference Asmus, M. (2014).

...Alyssa Miller MKTG 320 SWOT Analysis Las Vegas The LVCVA has a strength with predicting trends and for the most part has been on top of changing their marketing techniques to suit those trends. Las Vegas is one of the most famous cities in the world and it is known for a great and crazy time. Las Vegas also has an enormous customer base. Las Vegas’s image is weak in the fact that it only appeals to some customers. The smaller audience it attracts and that there are almost no options for any other age group besides 21-50 year olds also weakens it. Las Vegas has an opportunity to expand and make it’s business and experience even bigger because almost no one is competing with them. There is also an opportunity to improve hotels, casinos, resorts, and other main attraction buildings with all the new technology that comes out every year. Las Vegas has an opportunity to expand their customer base and try to reach different and new demographics. The business also has an opportunity to try and make its large industry greener. They could find ways to save electricity and water at hotels and casinos and be sure that all public bathrooms in the city have automatic air hand dryers. A threat in Las Vegas’s microenvironment is that since they virtually have no competitors, it could eventually become a boring trend or a place that everyone’s already been to. On the other hand, places like Dubai are becoming trendy with new modern infrastructure and many opportunities to attract...

...Growth Stocks vs. Value Stocks Thomas Anderton MBA 570 Professor Scott Growth stocks generally come from companies of high quality and who are considered successful. Investors expect the earnings of these companies to keep growing above the market average. If an investor were to analyze the companies with growth stock they would notice that these stocks have high price to earnings ratios and high price to book ratios. The price to earnings ratio shows the market price per share divided by the earnings. In order to have a high ratio generally the market price per share is high. Value stocks are the exact opposite of growth stock in terms of their price per earnings ratio and their price to book ratio, which means they generally have low ratios. These companies are generally expected by investors to increase in value when the rest of the market recognizes their potential. According to Bryan Rich of Forbes, “Value stocks are stocks with the lowest P/E, price to book, price to sales and price to cash flow. Other twists on value investing are simply looking at the lowest priced stocks in a major index or stocks with the highest dividend yield in a major index” (Rich, 2016). To some investors, growth stocks may seem to be expensive and at times overhauled, which could cause them to invest in value stocks. Investors may chase value stock because they don’t have as much money to invest as other investors who choose growth stocks. Some investors may choose to invest in growth...

...Gmo: the Value Versus Growth Dilemma GMO: The Value Versus Growth Dilemma | 1. What is value investing? What is its rationale? What are GMO’s main arguments in favor of value investing? Value investing is a way of investing in company stocks that are considered either undervalued or out-of-favor by the market. In other word, a value investment is one where the intrinsic value of the stock is not accurately reflected in the current market valuation. The underlying reason of too much decreasing in the stock price is that the company may be losing market shares or even in trouble due to market’s panic attributed to negative rumors as well as having management problems. Since the market price has dramatically descended, the book to market ratio of that stock will conversely increase. Consequently, this fraction is an important indicator that value investors will look at in order to justify if a particular stock is value stock or not. The rationale for investing in such value stock is that after the forces that are depressing the stock have diminished, the market price of value stock can only go upward from the bottom position to realize the stock’s hidden potential value at some point in the future. Notably, the key assumption is that once the market finally acknowledges the inefficiency that the price is too low when compared to the expected future returns, it will bump up the price and the value investors will directly benefit from the capital gain on those value stocks.
