A Review of servant leadership attributes: developing a practical model. Leadership & Organization Development Journal, 3(23). Doi:10.1108/01437730210424084 Servant Leadership is a theory for organizational leadership. This idea or concept was founded by Robert Greanleaf back in the 1970's. (Robbins & Coutire, 2000) Servant Leadership is different because it develops employees to bring out the best in them; these leaders facilitate personal growth amongst their employees. Their focus is to meet the needs of those they are working with. These leaders listen to their employees and find a solution to their needs and build a sense of community amongst everyone. “Greenleaf envisioned a servant leader as one who facilitates achievement of a shared vision via the personal development and empowerment of followers. This concept of servant leadership emphasized the interests, development, and empowerment of followers in order to achieve a shared...

...Hello everyone! My name is Nicole Elkins, but I usually go by Nikki. I went to college for a semester after high school but started to invest my time in other things. I’m now pursuing my degree in Special Education and really looking forward to getting back on track. Currently, I am a nanny for 3 kids, ages 13,10 and 6. I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. I recently moved to North Carolina to become more spiritually invested (and to be closer to the beach). During my free time I love to travel and help others. Last summer our church took a construction team to El Salvador where my life was forever changed. Over the last five years I have been trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life and it wasn’t until I started faithfully attending church and devoting my life to God that I finally realized what direction he was leading me in. After reading the Liberty University mission statement I feel that their goals closely align with my personal educational goals. Being that I was recently baptized I understand this a crucial and fragile time in my life and that I need to surround myself with those who encourage Christian faith. “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” {1 Peter 3:15}. By having a liberal arts program with a Christian focus students are able to become well-rounded in their knowledge and be prepared to complete any task from different angles. Not only can they communicate on an intellectual...

...Melissa Butler Dr. Mark Howell English 112 2/28/2016 Young Love vs Chanel No. 5 In today’s world we see advertisements such as billboards, benches or commercials on TV and almost everywhere else we go. Our society is constantly influenced by advertising. While enthusiastic people work hard to create their masterpiece of a commercial, most people try to avoid them due to the inconvenience of them interrupting their favorite TV show. Today they have become a part of our life and the competition to produce an effective commercial is always booming. A reason for the widening of advertising is certainly the stressful expectation to produce a unique representation of a product that stands out in the market, as well as selling the product itself. TV commercials are used to attract the audience and the producers spend a lot of money and time to obtain the attention of the viewer. The most glamorous commercials I feel are certainly those of perfumes. That is why I chose to do this paper on two perfume TV commercials and examine the features that are used to produce an effective advertisement. One will be a TV commercial of 1962 that deals with the perfume “Young Love” while the other represents the “Chanel No.5 “production of 2006. These are chosen to point out the difference with regard to the use of visuals and text that are important for the development of a commercial. A TV commercial usually consists of text, visuals and sometimes incorporates music. All these features seem...

...Pussycat Dolls “BUTTONS” -Music Writing Task With over 82 million views just from YouTube, the music video “Buttons” has definitely influenced the viewers unknowingly. It was unsurprisingly easy to find a video to discuss about gender and even throughout the video none of the actions or contents surprised me. Why? The Pussycat Dolls are being portrayed as sex objects. (I am straightforward, I know) This was distinctively shown through their actions and costumes throughout the video. The movements in the music video are extremely provocative to the man and perhaps quite daring as well. (See source 1 and 2) The costumes expose the majority of the body parts creating the sense of seductiveness, but whatsoever could still find a way to strip more off, which I found was quite impressive. (Clearly, that was sarcasm) (See source 3). Not only were they presented physically as sex objects but it can be proved via the lyrics of the video (see source 7). This suggests that the audience should look at the video from another light. “This could be yours” suggests that they are doing this on their own decision and is as if willing to advertise their body is an object to give out. There is a clear division of sexism throughout the music video. The fact that there is only a man throughout the video suggests that he is the centre of attention and has women surrounding which is typically what all men wish for. Women are being presented as if they thirst for sex simply through the choice...

Like just last week we had someone break into the shop, and then a couple days ago someone kept calling the store at night, also it was a Friday and no one was in the office which scared me a little. But be sides all that , Anne and I have gotten a lot closer and if we are to get out of this place I would like to spend more time with Anne. She has changed a lot since I first met her I like the new Anne better .She much more quiet and soft spoken but I do find her company very enjoyable. I really enjoy spending time her. Everyone has been getting along better ever since the whole thing with my dad when we found out he was stealing bread from everyone and Mrs. Frank wanted to kick my mom and dad out and let me stay. I didn’t feel right so if she did kick them out I would have felt obligated to go with them. However after we found out about the invasion in Normandy, everyone hopes we may get out of here. I couldn’t help myself so, I just started singing and dancing with Anne and Margot. But I still have some feeling that something is going on with the phone call and no one being in work on a Friday I don’t know what’s going on. Sincerely, Peter Van...

...Problem The problem in this case is that Marie did not acquire Jane’s inherited referent power, which is triggering conflict among colleagues resulting in negative side effects. ● The two senior secretaries developed and shared similar values, accepting Marie’s work ethic and job responsibilities was a struggle for them and is leading to strained relationships. ● Jane’s influence was so strong that after a few weeks they actually had an exorcism. Due to Jane being held to such high esteem, Marie’s stature and position are constantly under fire. ● The staff thinks Marie should stay in reading and writing all day instead of attending meetings because that was more in line with Jane’s role. Therefore, conflict surrounding how Marie is spending her time is occurring. ● When Marie wanted to correct an ethical mistake regarding her schooling that Chuck had dictated, because of Theresa’s personal perceptions she became very upset and saw it as burning a bridge. ● Maria unfairly complained to Chuck about Marie because there was a jurisdictional dispute between the two of them about missing a deadline. Solution The solution to the problem we have identified is to eliminate the negative impacts of conflict between Marie and colleagues by restructuring interdependence by clarifying existing relationships. ● By communicating openly about Marie’s position and expectations, a difference between Jane and Marie’s positions can be established and understood by the entire workforce...

...system and, legal research. Being able to work for Finnegan & Wicker Law Firm will help me to hone my skills, to grow and learn more in this field. As a paralegal, to be able to assist lawyers with depositions, drafting of pleadings, subpoenas and, other legal documents is a very fulfilling task. There is one particular event that inspired me and propelled me into pursuing a career as a paralegal and that’s – watching and reading the civil case brought against Orenthal James Simpson (O.J), by the family of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson in 1997 - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case). The depth in which the depositions were done and the discovery process led to a successful win in the civil trial. The success of the civil suit in my opinion was mainly due to the adequate and proper research that was done, no stones were left unturned and, even though O.J was found not guilty in criminal court for the death of Ron Goldman and, Nicole Brown Simpson respectively he was held responsible for their deaths in civil court. Seeing the outcome of the civil trial against O.J, I knew that I would really enjoy being a paralegal and, to be able to work for some of the best lawyers here at Finnegan & Wicker Law Firm, makes becoming a paralegal worthwhile. I sincerely hope that I can become a part of your prestigious organization and team. Nickey Simpson Paragraph 2 Hi Debbie, how is my favourite cousin doing?
