...Perfect Position Workshop # 4 University of Phoenix LDR/531: Organizational Leadership MBAY0W8YR1 Instructor: Chris Lewis April 4, 2011 Someone once said “Money makes the world go round.” I believe that is an apt description. In order to earn money, a source of income must be had, but the quality of that job is another story all together. Most children imagine having their dream job when they grow up and having lots of money. That is a great dream, and one worth striving for, but the truth is, the majority of people are not lucky enough to have a perfect job and they do not tend to make the amount of money they are worth. Imagine if it was possible to create your dream position within your current organization. What would it be, Chief Marketing Advisor, Reports Analyst, or Client Liaison, the possibilities are endless. Anyone would agree that they would be happy in the perfect position in their career. But what would it take to achieve such a scenario? Starting a journey to anywhere worth going requires an understanding of why one wants to go there, some planning to get there, and some realization of whether what you really want to do is awaiting you when you arrive. This paper will analyze strengths and weaknesses of Shantel’s leadership style, compare and contrast leadership theories, and identify jobs that will fit her leadership style. Strengths and Weaknesses Leadership, according to Stephen P. Robbins, is the ability to guide a team with a vision...

...A couple of good examples are as follows: conflict theory, which can be defined as concept of conflict over resources, role theory, this is any type of expectation that people have during the change, social constructionism, how reality is really seen by the business and employees, integration theory, social behavior that is looked at through micro/macro analysis, and finally, structural functionalism, this is meeting the individuals biological needs. Impact On Culture There is never a merger that begins and ends without a hitch. Conflicts will always be there. When there are two organizational cultures at work, the more dominant of the two will begin to take over. This can bring out resentment behaviors and alienations. By this happening, a power struggle begins. A good example of this is when General Motors merged with Daimler Benz. As the merger carried on it cause problems for both the American and German employees. The analysis in this case can be looked at what the mission are, the goals as well as the objectives for each business. As the completed analysis was done, the companies were...

...PERSONAL STATEMENT It was the summer of 2009, when I knew: I am going to be a Humanitarian Architect. I was attending a week long inner city mission’s trip, Mission Peoria/Dream Center Peoria, and the keynote speaker was challenging his audience to find their calling in life. Each morning my team was serving in an urban school district, government housing facility or elderly housing development. I was overwhelmed with the deterioration of the school, neighborhood and culture around me. As I realized my future, I knew I could make a difference in communities through designing educational facilities, retail developments or community centers. Being a Retail Contractor Association Scholar would provide much needed debt relief my fifth and final year at Drury University. I only have $6,000 Federal Stafford Loans available to borrow next year, and will have $15,000 of unmet need. This year my family has an EFC of $12,382. I currently have $31,515 in student loans. I am...

Moreover, the Wal-Mart marketing strategy uses Newspaper advertising to promote their low prices. According to Point, Wal-Mart is increasing their efforts to buy local store and gain those customers. Their mission statement misleads people to think that they don’t enforce servant leadership practice within an organization because Walmart kills mom and pop shops. “In order for Walmart to better use their mission as a communication tool, the company should give more information about the business and address more stakeholders”. In contrast, World Vision has a strong mission statement which identifies the importance of servant leadership values to their customers and sponsors with their Christianity heritage. The Christian organization serves all people in need by partnering up different associations. World Vision identified servant leadership values to their organization by about and accepting people regardless their background. World Vision is committed to their employees by welcoming into Christianity heritage, yet not enforcing anything but the values of servant leadership. For instance, they don’t preach their religion or must to believe their belief because they treat everyone the same. Their mission statement, it’s so powerful that automatic people give their time...
