...by leaders is passion which is a deeply intense desire to succeed and strive to make the business grow. It was stated a leader must possess passion for the business, which gives them drive to want to plan and accomplish goals. Kouzes makes similar statements, he says that a leader can motivate others by aspiring to share their goals, encouraging others under them they can obtain the same success and accomplish many goals. Drucker’s thoughts were very similar to Case and Kouzes, along the lines of being effective it requires extreme discipline of effort and passion for anyone gaining success focusing on their goals. The theories of all three gentlemen are share similar thoughts and agreements on leadership being ready to take charge and lead in spite of discouraging or opposing others to be passionate about their positions, jobs or business. Kouzes mentions the leaders should challenge the process by searching for opportunities to grow and improve 2.)

...Entrepreneurial Leadership 1 Discuss the common elements described in the theories/philosophies of Case, Kouzes, and Drucker including how their principles strategies relate to the new definition of entrepreneurial leadership presented in Understanding Entrepreneurial Leadership in today’s Dynamic Markets. What is an Entrepreneur? We find entrepreneurs in manufacturing, business, agriculture, health care, tourism, education, government, and the arts. Essentially, we find them among employees and employers in all sectors of life. Being an entrepreneur means more than being a business owner. It means possessing entrepreneurial qualities and characteristics essential to being a productive citizen and excelling in one’s career. Being entrepreneurial means creating something new or developing ideas or projects; it means not following prescribed paths and thinking outside the box. The entrepreneurial spirit is the heart of a society that moves forward and adapts to changing economic, technological, and social challenges. Entrepreneurial leaders tend to crave new beginnings, recognize a need for change and aren’t afraid to take the necessary risks. In regards to Case’s podcast “People, Passion, Perseverance: You’ve Got Entrepreneurship”, Kouzes’ podcast “Rising to the Leadership Challenge” and Drucker’s article “Entrepreneurial Strategies”, all three passionately briefed about possessing the spirit of being an entrepreneur. The gentlemen shared the same common leadership elements...

...possible to develop a solution to a problem in which both (or all) sides win, or at least come out ahead of where they would, were the conflict to continue. When this is possible, following the rules of principled negotiation is usually the best approach. When the situation is unavoidably win-lose, however, as it often is (at least in part) in intractable conflicts, then principled negotiation is unlikely to work. In that case, either distributive negotiation (which is much more adversarial) or a needs-based approach (such as analytical problem solving) is more likely to yield success. Do you feel that someone is continually taking advantage of you? Do you seem to have to fight your corner aggressively, or ally with others, to win the resources you need? Or do you struggle to get what you want from people whose help you need, but over whom you have little direct authority? If so, you may need to brush up your win-win negotiation skills. There are different styles of negotiation, depending on circumstances. Where you do not expect to deal with people ever again and you do not need their goodwill, then it may be appropriate to "play hardball", seeking to win a negotiation while the other person loses out. Many people go through this when they buy or sell a house – this is why house-buying can be such...

...In the Self-Awareness assessment, I scored 54, placing me in the second quartile and above the mean of 51.47. While this score indicated that I have a higher level of self-awareness than the average business school students in the comparison group, it also meant that I have room for improvement. Out of the areas assessed (self-disclosure, openness to feedback awareness of own values, emotional intelligence, change orientation and core self-evaluation), my strongest areas were awareness of my own value system and emotions while my weakest areas laid with unwillingness to seek information from others for self-improvement and getting defensive in the face of negative feedback. Additionally, the assessment pointed out that my awareness of personal standards was lacking. My change orientation was another area that appeared weaker (more externally than internally oriented) in comparison to my overall performance. In the Emotional Intelligence assessment, my score was 105. Though this score landed me in the top quartile in terms of the ability to be aware, in control and diagnose emotions in self and others, there were a couple of items that suggested that I could further improve my emotional intelligence. An item in the emotional awareness part of the assessment suggested that in interactions with others I might either be unaware of my own negative emotional reactions or unwilling to seek compensation in light of those reactions. Knowing myself, I believe the second point to be particularly...

...This study explores the positive effects of effective communication on employee motivation and performance. Specifically, in intends to compare the results between service employees and manufacturing employees in terms of communication as a motivating factor. The theories used in this study to create a conceptual framework are Herzberg Two factor theory, Goal Theory, and the circular theory of communication. The concept is that when hygiene and motivator factors are high, goals can be developed, but can only be effective only if the message was disseminated effectively. The study uses quantitative research on service and manufacturing employees. They were surveyed using a semi-structured questionnaire with ranking questions and some open-ended questions. The study found that there were only slight differences in the motivator factors for both set of respondents but there service employees are higher in hygiene. Both industries, however, see communication as an important factor in motivation. However, they only experience high hygiene, but less motivator, which means that they are not fully motivated. It has been suggested that the companies of the employees surveyed should invest on improving the motivator factors within the working environment and improve communication flows. CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This study examines the importance of communication on the performance and motivation of employees. The target samples of the...

...Critical Thinking: What It Is and Why It Counts Peter A. Facione The late George Carlin worked “critical thinking” into one of his comedic monologue rants on the perils of trusting our lives and fortunes to the decision-making of people who were gullible, uninformed, and unreflective. Had he lived to experience the economic collapse of 2008 and 2009, he would have surely added more to his caustic but accurate assessments regarding how failing to anticipate the consequences of one’s decisions often leads to disastrous results not only for the decision maker, but for many other people as well. After years of viewing higher education as more of a private good which benefits only the student, we are again beginning to appreciate higher education as being also a public good which benefits society. Is it not a wiser social policy to invest in the education of the future workforce, rather than to suffer the financial costs and endure the fiscal and social burdens associated with economic weakness, public health problems, crime, and avoidable poverty? Perhaps that realization, along with its obvious advantages for high level strategic decision making, is what lead the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to comment on critical thinking in his commencement address to a graduating class of military officers.

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Background of the Study The business world changes in every tick of the clock. As a result, businesses tend to rise or fall and the stability of the business enterprise is always at stake. But, business sustainability depends on its financial performance and the people governing the business. And to measure whether companies are capable of handling potentially unexpected corporate risks, companies’ accounting transactions are reported through financial statements. These financial statements are the masterpieces of accountants who analyze the transactions and measure the financial stability of the company if they are sustainable enough to defray any business risks. However, in presenting these statements, some accountants may mislead owners or decision makers through financial mistatements which affect the business itself. Because of this accounting malpractice, it may cause to a major problem that will put CPAs into grave misconduct such as allegation of fraud and engangement in corporate accounting scandals. Accounting malpractice are affecting the businesses globally. It decays the economy of the country and slowly creeps into different industry until they are no longer outlive in the business world. In fact, the Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse in Asia-Pacific Region led by Wells (2010) found out that the Asia Pacific median has a loss that was significantly higher than the global median loss of $160...

...part one: strategic case Sundown Bakery When Carol Teinchek and Bruce Marshall first started Sundown Bakery, the business was fairly simple. Carol ran the shop up front, while Bruce ran the bakery and ordered supplies. When the business began to grow, Carol hired two part-time clerks to help out in the shop. Marina had moved to the country 2 years ago from El Salvador, and Kim was a newly arrived Korean who was working his way through college. Bruce hired Maurice, a French Canadian, as an assistant. The ovens were soon running 24 hours a day, supervised by Maurice, who was now master baker, and two assistants on each of three shifts. Marina and Kim supervised the shop, since Carol was usually too busy managing general sales distribution to spend much time with customers. Bruce still spent 3 or 4 hours a day in the bakery whenever he could get out of his office, but he spent most of that time coordinating production and solving problems with Maurice. Within the next year, Sundown expanded from its original location, adding two new shops as well as two kiosks in local malls. Carol and Bruce hired a new operations manager, Hans Mikelson, who had formerly been regional manager of a national chain of coffee shops. Mikelson had plenty of new ideas about how to operate an expanding business: He had a Web site created, added an extensive range of drinks and meal items to the menu, and instituted two dress codes—one for all counter help and another for kitchen employees. He also put...

We argue that this large research literature can be best organized and understood from a multilevel perspective. We identify three levels of analysis of prosocial behavior: (a) the “meso” level—the study of helper-recipient dyads in the context of a specific situation; (b) the micro level—the...
