...bring to light a less popular one. I looked up the meaning and functions of ‘non-profit organization’ which is defined as “an incorporated organization which exists for educational or charitable reasons, and from which its shareholders or trustees do not benefit financially.” After carefully considering many exemplary organizations, and knowing of what exactly a non-profit organization is, and how the said organization should operate I selected the Expand Your Horizons non-profit organization. The Organization began in 1974, as a Math and Science Network with an informal group made up of women scientists, and educators, in the San Francisco Bay Area. The concerned with the low female participation in math and science courses initiated them to plan and coordinate programs to strengthen girls in these topics. A two year grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1978 was awarded to the small Network to help establish it as a formal organization and soon the organization operated at the Mills College campus in Oakland, California. The mission of this organization is to “encourage young teenage girls in middle and high school to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Careers.” With a fun hands-on activities approach and STEM role models to guide the girls, the goal of this Network is to motivate girls into becoming “innovative and creative thinkers ready to meet 21st Century challenges.” Serving females only, this organization has not only expanded from its...

...are the stuff from which American dreams are made. Much like these famous names, the six self-made millionaires we’re profiling have one thing in common: Thanks to hard work, determination and sound advice from mentors, friends and family, they’ve been able to build thriving businesses from the ground up. The rise to the top can be bumpy. In fact, some of the entrepreneurs we talked to were homeless during the early years of their companies. That’s why they all agree that it’s important to help others in need. All, including Radio One’s Catherine L. Hughes and Life is good co-founder Bert Jacobs, give back to the community by volunteering time, donating to charitable organizations or running their own charities. Catherine L. Hughes Age: 64 Occupation: Founder and chairperson, Radio One Advice to young entrepreneurs: "Sometimes the ones who love you the most will give you the worst business advice." By conventional standards, Hughes wasn’t destined to build a successful multimillion-dollar media company. She was a teen mom by 16 and never graduated from college, but had brief stints at area universities in her hometown of Omaha, Neb. Despite her limited formal education, Hughes, who credits publishing legend John H. Johnson as one of her mentors, worked her way up at Omaha’s KOWH radio starting in 1969 before heading to the nation’s capital to become a lecturer at Howard University. In 1975, she became general manager for the university’s radio station...

...University of Makati J.P. Rizal Extension, West Rembo, Makati City College of Allied Health Studies Center of Nursing CONTEMPORARY THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP There has been much research compiled that compares the differences of the classic theories of leadership and management versus contemporary style of leadership and management. Both styles have been found to have their unique advantages, depending on the type of organization the theories are being utilized in. In this paper, I will be discussing the key variables needed in a leadership theory to effectively lead and manage others. I will also examine major components of each theory, and how they compare to one another. Finally, I will examine which theory best fits my leadership qualities, and my ability to lead others in an organizational setting. SERVANT LEADERSHIP theory Servant leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world. While servant leadership is a timeless concept, the phrase “servant leadership” was coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in The Servant as Leader, an essay that he first published in 1970. In that essay, Greenleaf said: “The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of...

...According to Daft (2008, p. 4) the definition of leadership has been discussed since ages in the academic environment but scientific studies have started in the 20th century. There are a lot of suggestions about its definition one of which is that leadership is nothing more than a romantic myth – people hope that their problems will be solved by someone’s sheer force of will. One of the popular definitions is “Leadership is an influence relationship among leaders and followers who intend real changes and outcomes that reflect their shared purposes” (Daft, p. 5). Some people cannot distinguish the difference between a manager and a leader. It is well-known that you can be a leader without being a manager. Bennis and Nanus propose that “managers are people who do things right and leaders are people who do the right thing” (Are Managers Leaders, 2011). In order for everyone to be an effective leader they have to be able to find the right balance between moral, social and business characteristics of leadership. According to Yukl (1989, p. 6) an effective leader is generally someone that leads by example and other people just tend to follow because they believe what they do is the right thing. A commonly used measure of leader effectiveness is how well the leader’s group fulfills its tasks and attains its goals. Another indicator is the attitude of followers toward the leader. A very important measurement of the leader’s effectiveness is his contribution to the quality of the group...
