...Why Should Anyone Be Led By You The text reads on why should anyone be led by you, and it also provides some tips on this subject. Some of the tips that the text provides are revealing your weaknesses, becoming a sensor, daring to be different, and practicing tough empathy. The tips provided make a lot sense; nobody wants to work with a great leader that doesn’t appear to need help; don’t expose a weakness that others see as fatal rather, choose a tangential weakness instead. Secondly, improve your ability to collect and interpret subtle interpersonal cues, detecting what’s going on without others’ spelling it out; by validating them with a trusted advisor or inner-team member. Also, great leaders empathize fiercely with their followers and care intensely about their people’s work. Capitalizing on what’s unique about yourself lets you signal your separateness as a leader, and motivates others to perform better. Great leaders aspire their followers to push themselves more. Distinguish yourself through qualities like imagination, expertise, and adventure-someness. I was once a leader at a company called GTM plastics, and I did a horrible job. However, after my leadership role with the company, I realized so many mistakes that I made. Instead of doing what an effective leader does, I engaged myself with the company style of leadership, which did not turn out well for me. I realized that the success of the company has nothing to do with my selfish ways, but the team effort and...

...Underground Essay Jason Peter is a player that the University of Nebraska should be proud of. Jason Peter was a great athlete for them and, he showed his perseverance to break his drug addiction. For these things why would Nebraska not be proud of Jason? Jason Peter deserves the respect and acknowledgement from Nebraska. A main reason they should be proud of Jason is, because he is an outstanding athlete and contributed too many wins at Nebraska .Any person that helps win football games has to be respected. According the Kirk Herbstreit, “the Huskers are aiming for their third national title in four years, thanks to--as usual--a high-level option offense (keyed by Scott Frost) and a stout defensive front four (led by end Grant Wistrom and tackle Jason Peter)” (Herbstreit 21). This shows that Jason was a large part of the Nebraska defense; even rough Jason’s rough times they should still be proud of him. Also in the book it shows that he was respected “with us as captains we can’t lose” (Peter 55). This show that coach Osborne felt like he trusted and respected Jason in that he let him be a captain. Usually the school is proud of the captain of the team, because he is the leader and shows good examples. In this case Jason shows good behavior at Nebraska, which keeps a good word with the university. Jason should not be judged by what happened to him, because it can happen to anyone. Also they should be proud of Jason because, he made it to the NFL; he added another first round...

...do whatever they wanted to because they were free. The freeing of slaves led to great things for President Wright. He served in the army, became very successful and had a lot of involvement with National Freedom Day. He strived to make African Americans a part of history according to Kachun (285). Richard Wright Sr.’s accomplishments and hardships influence my mission statement as a future SSU graduate and complies with an analysis of National Freedom Day and why it is important. My understanding of Richard Wright Sr.’s accomplishments and hardships is that no matter where people came from or how they grew up, if they want something they should fight for it. Things are not just handed to them and to become someone special and have a legacy, it is not going to happen overnight. “If a former slave can become an educator, politician, bank entrepreneur etc.” (Wharton Alumni Magazine) anyone in this world can be successful. Everyone goes through certain things and sometimes it is hard but people can’t let that stop them. Whatever it is, they should take it as a lesson learned and move on. No one should mourn about their problems or misfortunes but see what they can do to make them better. Wright never gave up and he didn’t put limits on himself because of his upbringing. His hardships made him a better man, a wealthy man. As a future graduate of SSU, my mission statement is “Anything is possible, if you believe”. This complies with what I have read because President...

...of us being the prosecutors, we believe that Johnny has committed a crime of Voluntary Manslaughter. There are many things that go in and out of Johnny’s life that happen on a daily basis that could have led to the the decision he had made which was to kill Bob with a switchblade. Johnny states that he gets abused by his parents and feels helpless by knowing that they don’t care about him. Not only that, but it also makes him feel depressed as well. Due to those reasons, those could have been a major influence into the killing of Bob, which is why we believe Johnny should be charged with Voluntary Manslaughter and not Self-defense. The night that Johnny killed Bob he was carrying a switchblade. The evidence states it because Johnny pulled out a switchblade to kill bob so he had to have one on him. Another thing is that you stated that you didn’t want to hurt anyone. So we like to know why did you pull out the switchblade and stab him. Even if you took the switchblade out you could have used it to scare them away and had them run that way not by killing bob and not leading to hurting anyone....

...impose my views on anyone else. If committed gay and lesbian couples want to marry, that is their business; none of us should stand in their way," – Rev. Al Sharpton. The topic of same sex marriage has been debated for many years of whether or not the United States should legalize it. I support same sex marriages because of equality, love, and knowing that it’s right. In the Declaration of Independence, it states, "that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” To say that we are all equal, means that no one is above one another to judge someone liking a person of the same sex. Also, if marrying someone of the same sex is their source of happiness, then why can’t they legally get married? It makes me feel upset that we’ve come 40 years after the civil rights movement has ended and we still can’t treat each other equally. Love is love. The government or anyone else should not be able to tell you whom you can or cannot love. It’s like when I go to the grocery store, is the government there to tell me which apple I am allowed to get? There’s no difference between a man loving a women and a man loving a man if the love is both equal. Most people say that religion and the bible has caused them not to support same sex marriage. But, in Leviticus 19:19 "You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your...

...steps and work that goes into a person becoming a leader. How can taking different viewpoints on leadership by comparing and contrasting and make them into our own? Below these questions will be explored by going through the main key points in successful leadership from different viewpoints and learn how to use these ideologies for a successful future. Types of Leadership According to Goleman’s article ‘Leadership That Gets Results’ (2000) there are six different types of leadership. There are coercive leaders, authoritative leaders, affiliative leaders, democratic leaders, pacesetting leaders, and coaching leaders (Goleman, 2000, p.3). Concurring to Goffee and Jones article ‘Why Should Anyone Be Led By You?’ (2000) there are four styles of leadership. “Leaders should selectively show their weaknesses, rely heavily on intuition to gauge the appropriate timing and course of their actions, manage employees with tough empathy, and lastly revel their differences” (Goffee and Jones, 2000, p. 64) While Heifetz and Laurie in their article ‘The Work of Leadership’ (2001) believe in direction, protection, orientation, managing conflict, and shaping norms (Heifetz and Laurie, 2001, p.9). These different styles can be found in all sorts of work environments. With all these different viewpoints, it starts to...

...2000s. The authors use the actions taken by two groups before, during, and after the recession, as tools to show what not to do when dealing with the housing industry. They then build off these mistakes and offer advice for the future to the two main players in their article, the borrowers and the policy makers. The article does a great job of identifying the problems and raising flags on mistakes made by all parties, but in my opinion the authors did not redirect the blame equally. I believe that the general public was not criticized enough for their part in the collapse, as illogical decisions, specifically with their reliance on credit, led large scale loss in the long term. Where the authors point fingers at borrowers and policy makers for allowing ill-fit people to take out a loan, I blame the people for taking out a loan that they should have known they could never afford in the first place, and explain how we can avoid these economic downturns in the future. The two begin their article by discussing the causes of the housing market crash. They pinpointed the main reason for the crash by discussing how a large number of loans being taken out for things such as homes, cars and boats, were being accepted regardless of credit score or down-payment. When a borrower is no longer able to pay for the loan, the bank who lent the money out, must repossess the purchase. This is not too bad for the bank, but as more and more people began defaulting on these loans forcing the lenders...

...ethical reality that the degree of difference of intelligence between man and the animals is perhaps equivalent to a difference in kind. Because of this, the human good, as opposed to the natural good, is inherently questionable. In this class, we will be looking at how it is that philosophers have concerned themselves with this question. We will look at 3 of major different ways in which the question the ultimate ethical principle has been understood; the utilitarian, the “deontological” and the “eudaimonistic”, by considering a few of the primary texts that deal with these. Requirements, Expectations, Grading You are expected to attend and attentively participate in every class period.

...Free Orcas How much do you really know about whales in captivity? Do you think the whales at sea world enjoy being there? Imagine you're walking down the street with your family when out of nowhere you're trapped in a net and being taken away from them. This happens to young whales almost everyday and is very unnecessary. Orcas should not be kept in captivity because it causes premature death, anxiety, and violent behavior. Many people would consider these results to be animal abuse. It has been confirmed that whales in captivity have higher mortality rates than those in the wild and these rates have only worsened over the years. According to the report “Killer Controversy: Why Orcas Should No Longer Be Kept in Captivity,” "Captive female orcas give birth too young and too often, leading to both high adult and high infant mortality." Also, the chronic stress of being confined weakens their immune system which leads to infection. This is the most common cause of death for captive orcas. The average life expectancy of a wild orca is 30-50 years. Orcas who have died at Sea World have an average age of death of 13 years old. The shocking fact is that over 161 whales have died in captivity, and it can easily be prevented by leaving them in the wild where they belong. Another outcome of the confinement is anxiety. Orcas who are not compatible with one another are placed in relatively small tanks which results in anxiety and tension. This tension often leads to brutal fights...

...Written Reports You probably will be asked to write reports for at least some cases. The following guidelines will help you write an effective case analysis. First, in business communications a short report is usually considered better than a long report. This does not mean that in your report you can skip key points, but rather that you state relevant points clearly and concisely. Do not include trivial matters. Second, the report should be well written. It should be typed and not contain spelling or grammatical errors. The report you hand in for class should be equivalent in quality to a report you would write for your boss, a senior manager of an agribusiness company. In the early years of your career, particularly in a large firm, you are likely to become known for the quality of your written reports. A well-written report would contain the following elements: Executive summary. This is a concisely written statement, less than one page, placed at the front of the report. It briefly summarizes the major points of the case and your solution. It should describe the major issue, the proposed solution, and the logic supporting the solution. Problem statement. Present the central issue(s) or major problem(s) in the case here. Do not rehash the facts of the case; assume that anyone reading the report is familiar with the case. Alternatives. Discuss all relevant alternatives. Briefly present the major arguments for and against each alternative. Be sure to state your assumptions...
