...Topic: Organized sports positive and negative effects on today’s youth. A. A-1. Introduction Hi my name is Lisa Hadden. Are you struggling with signing that permission slip so your child can play an organized sport? Do you wonder if you can balance your budget to include the high cost of playing as well as equipment needed? Do you have the time to commit to being at practices and games?

...Dwayne A. Grant ELRC 7603 Interview Paper: Leadership at an Anarchical Community College Dr. Owens November 30, 2014 Louisiana State University Though tempered by culture, history, and tradition that shape beliefs in particular directions and away from others, the presence of multiple realities within organized anarchies is undeniable (Manning, 2013). Louisiana’s oldest and largest community college sits in the heart of New Orleans. Delgado Community College is known for distinctive programs and an extremely rich culture. Recently, Delgado has experienced changes in leadership during a time of expansion and transition. Faculty at Delgado Community College are outraged that they have not received pay in seven weeks and would like the new Chancellor to reconcile this issue immediately. This interview paper will discuss the issues faced by newly appointed Chancellor Joan Davis and her leadership in this anarchical institution. An organized anarchy exhibits three characteristics: problematic goals, an unclear technology, and fluid participation (Birnbaum, 1988). Problematic goals and unclear technology lie at the forefront of Chancellor Davis’ service: prior to Davis’s arrival in May 2013, Delgado faced a budget deficit of $8 million, which led to the announcement of the layoff of 115 employees, including 64 non-tenured faculty members (Lipinski, 2014). Research had shown the underpaid status for both faculty and staff, in addition to the lack of growth or pay increases...

Leadership is not an exclusive club for those who are born with it. Employees generally follows their leaders.

...effects to al-Qaida It has been four years down the line since the death of the al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. In history, Osama has been the potential leader in organizing terrorist activities that have left thousands dead and several injured. His charismatic leadership led to large number of recruitments of the youth men all over the world. Osama was assassination done by the US Navy seals in a night raid on a high-walled compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (Owen, M., & Maurer, 2012). His assassination had a great impact on the running of the al-Qaida organization. Osama bin Laden had significantly achieved high recognition as the symbol of international terrorist. Consequently, Osama declared war on the US and allies affiliated to US. His mission was followed by organized and fruitful attacks by al-Qaeda militants’ in various countries. Back in the 1990s, he organized a successful attack on the USS Cole, US embassy in Kenya and Tanzania respectively. There were also attacks in Bali, Madrid, and London. Indeed, the death of Osama is a big blow to the al-Qaeda terrorist operation that has been depending on his strategic attacks. It is unfortunate to the organization since they have so far no one with such charismatic leadership to replace him (Bergen, P, 2013)..

...Leadership Qualities Reassessment Paper Ronald Nance BS, RN August 25, 2015 Mary Jane Sansouci The class has revealed that some of the leadership qualities that I initially thought I possessed were both correct and incorrect. An accurate analysis revealed that my personal confidence scored very high on the initial assessment and I believe that still holds true. However, the assessment also stated that I have a deficiency in providing a vision to the people I lead and I definitely still do not agree with that observation. I believe my leadership style is closely related to a transformational style that motivates and rallies people toward a common goal and belief. Vision is an attribute that I believe I utilize quite often to convey an idea and plan when providing guidance to the people seeking leadership. Personally, I aspire to become a more consistent leader when faced with challenges that I don’t want to take on. Proper education and research will provide me with the tools I need to enhance my leadership qualities. Ultimately, advancing my knowledge will create avenues within the leadership environment. I will enhance my communication style in order to effectively convey perspectives and initiatives according to task at hand. In addition, I will become an avid listener to facilitate discussions amongst my peers. The incorporation of these skills will foster a more effective leadership style. Leadership is not always something that is innate within an individual...

...The Leadership Quarterly 12 (2001) 133 ± 152 Leadership, values, and subordinate self-concepts Robert G. Lorda,*, Douglas J. Brownb a Department of Psychology, University of Akron, Akron, OH 44325-4301, USA b University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article discusses two means by which leaders can impact on subordinate self-regulatory processes Ð making particular patterns of values salient and activating specific subordinate selfconcepts. Research indicating compatible structures among values and self-identities is discussed, and it is suggested that such structures are automatically related by networks of mutual activation or inhibition. The potential of this framework for advancing leadership practice and research is also discussed. D 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction Most definitions of leadership share the common assumption that leaders influence subordinate's task and social behaviors (Yukl, 1992). However, the leadership literature, in general, has paid little attention to understanding the intervening mechanisms by which leaders influence followers. Instead, much of the research has focused on the relationship between a leader's behavior or traits and subordinates' satisfaction, behavior, and performance (Lord & Maher, 1991). In the present paper, we attempt to partially bridge this gap by focusing on two key intervening mechanisms Ð values and self-concepts Ð that link leader characteristics and important...
