...among leaders and followers who intend real changes and outcomes that reflect their shared purposes (pg. 5). According to Dr. Brooks (2008), he suggested that the overall outcome of effective public leadership is the creation and demonstration of public value. Based on these definitions, one argues and disagrees with the ideal that “Young public leaders are usually less effective because they have so little experience”; due to the fact, both definitions does not mention experience. Young public leaders may not have more experience than others, but one advocates that young public leaders are usually more effective in leadership due to the more increasing enthusiasm and passion the leader may have inside him/herself and to the public; not yet understanding the norm of this place we live, which is “society”. One opposes this view that “Young public leaders are usually less effective because they have so little experience”, due to which public sphere they interact in. The definition of the public sphere is a metaphorical term used to describe the virtual space where people can interact. The World Wide Web, for example, is not actually a web; cyberspace is not a space; and so with the public sphere. It's the virtual space where the citizens of a country exchange ideas and discuss issues, in order to reach agreement about 'matters of general interest' ([Jurgen] Habermas, 1997: 105) Other examples of this ideal is social/work organizations such as the police force and public school...

...Discussion 1a “Young public leaders are usually less effective because they have so little experience.” Take a position on the statement, and state your position. Answer I do not believe public leaders are less effective due to their youth. Typically, young leaders bring a sense of newness and hope of change to the public sector. They are more prone to studying their predecessors and expounding only upon what ideas worked, rather than continuing a legacy of past leadership. Moreover, young leaders’ lack of experience can be substituted by their willingness to learn from an older mentor, collaborating with others, and not having a me first leadership mentality ( O'Connor, 2011). Discussion b Support your position with three examples from the public sphere. Answer The most obvious effective young public leader is President Barack Obama. During his first tenure, he brought a strong passion for change and unity. He desired to prove to his constituents that their vote mattered, and refused to take office to sustain a régime. His young leadership broke the dividing lines of race, economic class, and age; something his older opponents could not do. This methodology caused him to win Commander in Chief for two terms. In a Gallup poll done in July of 2008, 23 percent of Americans say John McCain's age would make him a less effective president were he to win in November ( Newport, 2008). Another great example of effective young leadership is Hugh Evans. He launched The Global...

...Resolution Conduct research and write an 850- to 1000-word essay (2-3 pages, excluding the title and references pages) that discusses the statement: “Young public leaders are usually less effective because they have so little experience.” | “You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower One of the many things I have learned about being a leader is experience is the best teacher. But when you are young and a leader you don’t have that experience under your belt yet so what you need is for people to trust that you know what you are doing. And you need the courage and confidence to know who you are. I agree with the fact that young public leaders are usually less effective because they have so little experience but I also know that there needs to be a few bruises in order to perfect your skill. For example, in the world today we have a lot of public figures who may not qualified for their position but they are young and they have the energy to maintain. The first example would be Chelsea Clinton who is the daughter of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. She is a special correspondent for NBC News and works with the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative. Can you imagine the responsibility she has as a young woman and when people look at her I can almost imagine they would they of her parents. She has to live up to what her parents were in history and...

...| Young Public Leaders Are Usually Less Effective Because They Have So Little Experience | | | Kijafa Parker | PAD 515 – Leadership and Conflict ResolutionDr. Michael PopejoyWinter 2012 | 1/22/2012 | Abstract From the foundation of civilization to the formulation of nations and countries from military conquest or marital alliances; to revolutions and civil rights marches to peaceful protest and occupy movements, many leaders have been anointed, appointed, ascended to, declared or elected to positions of leadership. Whether wise or foolish, old or young, experienced or not, the innate tendency by people to judge the effectiveness of the leader and his ability to lead is either celebrated, questioned, tested, scrutinized and critiqued. In the current age of 24 hour news cycles, which often highlights the troubles of young leaders, there is an air of doubt and dismissal as to the ability of “Generation X and Y”, or those considered young to successfully lead, organize and have a following that is progressive enough to resolve problems. Tradition The basis for questioning the effectiveness of a young public leader can be attributed to physical traits such as appearance, height, weight as evidenced in 1 Samuel 9: 1 and 2 which states, “a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher...

...PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY 2 Transparency Works Successfully marketing something—an automobile, a dating service or a politician—requires skill, creativity and an understanding of the target market. For short-term products this usually is enough. In 1975 a California advertising executive came up with the idea of a “pet rock.” It was an ordinary rock, resting on fake grass in a small cardboard box, with instructions titled The Care and Training of your Pet Rock. The unit sold for about four dollars, and it was wildly popular—for less than one year. But this product is an example of a “one hit wonder”—so its creators did not need to worry about whether they seemed to be reliable or trustworthy or explicit about their company’s practices. But very few companies have the luxury of casting aside concerns about image. For big, medium and small companies today, the emphasis usually is on long-term survival, and this requires a good public image. So how can a company survive in today’s fast-changing world? Through transparency—in the presentation and defense of its products, and in its day-to-day behavior. This means sharing, to whatever extent possible, facts about the company—how it is set up, how it operates, what its salaries and bonuses are based on, and how its workers are expected to treat customers and each other. There are many examples of companies doing precisely this, and succeeding. One of the most recent examples is Chipotle, a large...

...the rocks were formed, what the prehistoric environment was like, and what the fossils reveal about life during the Late Cretaceous up to 100 million years ago. The fossil hunt: From the meeting point there are two possible routes the fossil hunt can take (see map right), either route provides plenty of opportunity to search for fossils. Depending on the group's requirements a decision can be made on the day, alternatively the route can be agreed in advance on request. The green route provides immediate access to the beach and follows the coastline to Cow Gap. The route takes the group over a lot of rocky terrain which can be challenging in places, especially when accompanied by young children or less able people. The green route requires that the fossil hunt begins no less than an hour before low-tide as the rising tide can restrict the exit towards Cow Gap. From Cow Gap the route returns...

Firstly, in his early life, X was sentenced to 8-10 years in prison for burglary charges and sleeping with white women, however he was granted parole after serving six years. While imprisoned X found self-enlightenment and began to study the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam (NOI). Furthermore, X repeated Muhammad’s preaching’s about white supremacy that restricted Afro-Americans from empowering themselves and achieving political, economic, and social success.

...Policing in America today has grown from different economic, social and political forces. In order to understand how policing in the united states relates to the current relationship between the police and the different social classes and ethnic groups, one needs to know how the history of policing has developed in order to become what it is currently. This paper will discuss the views of the momentous background of the united states police and this will help us to have a better understanding of how the different social classes and ethnic groups relates with the police. Police development has evolved over different eras. The first era was the era between 1840’s and early 1900’s. During this era, local political leaders are the ones who governed the police. The policing of these times was decentralized and this paved way for fraud through politics. The social and political worlds were closely connected police departments. There was a lot of disorganization and in efficiencies. This was caused by the lack of governmental control over the police officers that was resulted by the political nature of the positions of the police and decentralization. There was discrimination against ethnic minorities, racial groups, strangers and the people...

...Nicole Esperon CJA/204 Introduction to Criminal Justice Deborah Carr, J.D. Juvenile court is a specific court which deals with young adults who violate federal, state, and county laws. The court also addresses children and young adults who have been abused sexually, physically or emotional and mentally, dependent upon drugs or neglected. Most juveniles will be seen in this court until the age of eighteen. There is then an additional facility that may house young offenders from 18-25. If an offender needs further incarceration to finish their sentence then they will be sent to adult facility once they turn 25. In recent years however some crimes are so heinous that young adults have been tried as adults in adult court subject to those rules. The definition of delinquency is the behavior of a person that is a violation of the law. It is a continued disobedient behavior that does not seem to be able to be corrected by community leaders, church or parents. The offender is then handed over to the juvenile courts for correction. Status offenses are based on behavior of status offenders. A status offender is the special category that encompasses a specific genre of offender. In this case it is based on children who violate laws specific to them such as truancy from school, running away from home and basic disrespect of parents and laws. Some basic similarities exist in both courts. Both courts are there to punish the offender and protect the community. ...

...Despite research that has been focused on leadership for over 10 years ago, the concept of leadership is still indefinable. This paper attempts to develop the leadership concept by investigating the possibility of the coming up with fresh measures of leadership which concentrating on the characteristics of good and bad leaders. A total of 312 managers were recruited in the study. A factor analysis was conducted to reduce 13 traits of good leadership to two factors including the good and the visionary, and 13 bad traits to two factors including the evil and the inept. Secondly, there was evaluation of the way male and female followers view leadership styles adopted by the best and worst bosses. It was discovered the perception of women on their excellent bosses differed from the males` perceptions. The variations were based on several dimensions. Nevertheless, there is little difference regarding the males and females` perceptions of bad bosses. Introduction Researches on leadership have been found to be both interesting as well as frustrating. During times of excellence in leadership, leadership propels the imagination of scholars, practitioners and the general public since it may imply changed lives for better outcomes. On the other hand, failures in leadership may have harmful effects on many people, at time affecting life and even death. Nonetheless, scholars have bumbled in their quest to comprehend fully the leadership phenomenon. According to Burns (1978), leadership falls...

...HOW SUCCESSFUL LEADERS THINK Leaders have the predisposition and the capacity to hold in their heads 2 opposing ideas at once. They’re able to creatively resolve the tension between those 2 ideas by generating a new one that contains elements of the others but its superior to both. This process of consideration and synthesis can be termed integrative thinking. It is this discipline that is a defining characteristic of most exceptional businesses and the people who run them. Not every good leader exhibits this capability, nor is it the sole source of success for those who do. But integrative thinking tremendously improves people’s odds (possibilitats). Many great integrative thinkers aren’t event aware of their particular capability and thus don’t consciously exercise it.

...seen, and portrayed as a sex symbol, and usually the disobedient one. Dating back to B.C and the story of Adam and Eve, Eve was the naked one who bit into the fruit that god told her was forbidden. Why couldn’t it have been Adam that caused such scandal, and was the cause for destruction, and crime in the world, and not Eve? From the believed beginning of time, to present day, women have really only progressed a small amount up the social ladder. Today, women are looked down upon, if they are slightly more over weight then what is considered “normal,” if they are “underweight”, “darker skin color”, too “pale”, “flat chested”, big boned, “thick,” or because of their ethnicities and backgrounds. So what exactly defines the “perfect female?” Is it the girls featured on “Girls Gone Wild” in Cancun, or the half naked models posing for Victoria’s Secret? Or is it the perfectly put together “Miss America” pageant queens? Or is it the Hollywood actresses with billion dollar dresses, and priceless jewelry? Or the well toned, well defined professional team cheerleaders, and dancers we watch? WE, speaking for us “average” women, who often tend to idolize, and carry pieces of all these girls within us, and envy them, for not being able to ever look like one of them…so damn perfect in every single way. These women, among many others all contribute to the foundations, of media, public relations, and entertainment sectors. Women are usually seen as the sex symbol in the media world...
