...1. How should you as the leader make decisions to resolve the situations in the survey? I should make the decisions based on the readiness level of the group, since according to Levi (2014), the appropriate style depends of the readiness level of the group, which refers to the skills of group members, their experience with the task, their capacity to set goals, and their ability to assume responsibility (p.191). 2. Do you have a preferred leadership style? Based on the result of the survey, I got 3 points for supporting leadership style, 2 points for both coaching and delegating leadership styles, and 1 point for directing leadership style. The result indicates that my preferred style is supporting, which emphasizes less on task, but more on relationship (Levi, 2014, p.191). 3. How flexible are you with your leadership style? In which situations is this leadership style most appropriate? * I think I can use different leadership styles for different circumstances.

The ideas began to follow through, so when it comes to creating our brand extensions for strictly come dancing we had no difficulties at all.

...I currently work for an organization that is facing an issue of delegating responsibilities to employees and rewarding employees for the heightened responsibilities they are given. This issue causes confusion as far as job responsibilities, weakens the chain of command, lessens the effectiveness of checks and balances, and makes it difficult to execute tasks. This issue is preventable, and when solved would help the organization to run smoother. Company description I work for a small rural health clinic in North East Florida. We are constantly looking for ways to branch out to reach underserved populations. Since it’s founding my organization has grown to include locations in the four surrounding counties.

...critical to the successful completion of our project and measure progress of our ultimate goal. In order to assure our project launching is on track, quantifiable measurements are a must. Feedback of team leaders in all areas is essential to assure all stakeholders involved are working in synergy towards to main goal. It is imperative that we measure results of hard-to-measure activities as well as more simple activities in an accurate and simple way. Some of the simple key indicators that I would monitor and control are: -How accurately the schedule is being followed. -How closely are we to the predetermined budget? -How many tasks do we have left? -How many tasks have been completed? Knowing the answers to these questions will create key performance indicators that are easy to follow and interpret. A more technical approach towards key performance indicators might be: -Monitor business resources to assure they are being used in in a way that gains a return on investment. -Monitor process outcome in order to initiate process development and attain business growth. -Quality Assurance elements such as subject knowledge, technical abilities, task performance, effectiveness and efficiency on achieving project objectives, and attitude and communication skills among team...

...Personal Responsibility Essay Laurie Smith GEN 200 January 4, 2012 Adrianna Szymkowski Personal Responsibility Essay I believe personal responsibility is an important part of success. Whether the success I am trying to achieve is educational, professional or personal. If I do not take reasonability for myself I will not be successful in anything I strive to do. It is my opinion that an important personal trait to have is organization. I believe with proper organization you can achieve personal responsibility which helps you achieve success. I define personal responsibility as having integrity, accepting consequences and the effects that an individual’s actions have on others. To me integrity has three characteristics: being honest, having values or morals, and being self-aware. I believe it is a conscious decision to admit ones mistakes by telling the truth whether or not someone is watching me. Values are used to create an individual’s moral compass telling me what is right or wrong. I feel that many values a person has is often constructed by a person’s culture as well as the individuals that raised them; I believe that a person always has the choice to reevaluate and change their morals as they choose. For a person to have self-awareness I consider if the individual is not only reliable and trustworthy but also possesses humility and are humble instead of a sense of indulgent pride. Another trait of personal responsibility is accepting consequences. I consider accepting...

...delivery. Governments in the vastness of their administration requirements are often unable to maintain either everyday or random tasks of service delivery. This could be due to various reasons, such as; lack of communication, misunderstanding the chain of command, individuals or groups being appointed to complete such tasks that have insufficient knowledge and/or authority required for the fulfilment of such tasks etc. etc. Such shortfalls on tasks as vitally important to a country as service delivery can cripple Government infrastructure and create political unrest amongst unsatisfied citizens. When we are referring to ramifications of this extent, it is imperative that governments / organisations implement safety measures that cover and maintain the correct execution of service delivery. Project management is a clear and concise method that can be implemented simply and cost effectively, and integrate simply into existing infrastructure. Basically what Project Management boils down to, is a simplified process of getting the right person, with the required authority and capability to manage a need, and ensure the fulfilment of said need. So instead of having various groups, reporting to various authorities, with regards to multiple tasks, you have one group of individuals, who have the relevant authority to delegate specific tasks.

...Organization is a major factor in projects that consist of teams. Organization can mean many things, like specific documents, for specific jobs, labels, filing, etc. Team organization is the key ingredient to maintaining a stress free, on time, on track project. Below is a list of organization skills, and tactics, for organizing a team; Tasks: Tasks should set based on the department, and their skills, e.g. shipping should be the warehouse task and the warehouse task alone. Tasks should also be broken up inside the department as well; everybody should not be working on the same thing. If you give an employee a specific task, this helps in the long run, because if that part of the project is not complete then that employee will be held accountable. Lists: This concept is basically what it says it is a list; this could be of many things, e.g. product list, task list, assignment list, etc. No matter what it may be, from paper towels to heavy equipment you write down everything you want, and/or may need, no matter how big, or small. The list is the easy part implementing the list is where it gets tricky. To implement the list you first need to go first go through the list and choose what you really need, and what you can do without, because remember everything on the list will not be obtainable. Now we move to; Implementation: Now it’s time to put these ideas to a test. To implement these ideas start with the most important tasks first (refer to list), because they may take the longest...

...Staying on Track Some challenges I anticipate that may make it difficult for me to stay on track would be allocating time between work, family, and school. I have formulated my strategy by making sure I involve and communicate my desire to go back to school for my MBA to close family members, my peers at work, and manager. I believe each one of them will influence me to succeed and complete my degree. I will enlist their support by communicating my deadlines, projects, and tasks throughout my education at Capella to obtain my MBA. My primary strengths are being deadline driven, self-motivator, and taking initiative to getting projects or task assigned to me. I have learned over the years how to effectively communicate my status on projects or reports that are assigned to me or my team. I am able to discuss deadlines with managers and assess if they are reasonable deadlines. Once I have set those deadlines, I create a calendar that keeps my progress from start to finish. I am able to communicate where I am in tasks that lead up to...

...because often these guidelines are based on years of experience by technicians and operators under real-world conditions. Next, we used students who were approaching graduation, but with no actual experience in the field, and had them try to operate the system with reduced manpower without giving them the current instructions. We were hoping that the students would bring a fresh perspective to the problem and find a new way to accomplish the task. Finally, a group of the engineers who design the system upgrades along with seasoned instructors with many years of practical experience operating the equipment in the field ran scenarios and brainstormed new ideas. Our assessment was that no reductions were possible, based on the addition of tasks created by system enhancements that were being installed by the engineers throughout the fleet. The outside organization tasked with analyzing the current system recommended cuts to the operational teams, and their findings were accepted and implemented by management. Those cuts affected the teams negatively, and in the field...
