...employ vastly different styles. The only one thing that seems to be common in them is that, they tend to defy, challenge and if possible break the rules that govern our conventional wisdom. The author doesn’t recommend one to change their style of leadership, with the one recommended in this book, because the book encourages managers to challenge the standardized layout of rules. Great managers know that there is a certain boundary to how much a person can be molded. And they don’t try and push/thrust the change they desire into the recipient. They try to make people better at what they are already good at. A manager needs to be able to be good at selecting a person, setting up prospect, encouraging the person and the overall development of the employee. As a manager some people may fail as a good leader and vice versa. Good managers are those who are also exceptional leaders. The book is a result of two mammoth surveys that was conducted over a period of 25 years, by surveying close to 1 million people. The surveys gave way to some valuable insights which are as follows: * Talented people need great managers * The relationship that an employee shares with his immediate supervisor will determine the employee’s tenure and how productive the employee is going to be. Conventional wisdom is easier to follow, since it works on the belief that employee possesses unlimited potential and that the best way to help an employee is to fix their weaknesses. The conventional wisdom...

... Attitudes /_Values 2. Definition of character. Character is habitually doing the right thing in the right way. 3. Character is result of your discipline. Where a spirituality results in inner power to do good, character results in your habits that make you do good. The believer needs both spirituality and character.

...Democracy and the right to serve as a juror are a great privilege and responsibility which is not to be taken lightly, as seen in Twelve Angry Men. How does Rose use the play to reflect these themes? In Reginald Rose Twelve Angry Men, Rose uses the play to reflect the duty and responsibility of a juror. Rose uses the characters to reflect different themes of the play. As a democratic country, jurors have a great privilege and responsibility and it shouldn’t be taken lightly as some juror’s demonstrated. Rose represents different personalities and beliefs with each juror. A young man’s life is at stake, most of the juror’s assume he is guilty on the first vote. But luck for the boy is that the 8th juror who wants it to be a fair trial and wants to “talk this thing out”. A fair trial that everyone is entitled to. Juror 8th is in contrast with the other jury members who allow personal bias to make up their verdict and decisions. Rose starts of the play with the judge stating the duty of the jurors, and that they have to come up with a unanimous verdict. The play progresses with the changing of individual juror’s minds. Rose represents juror 8 as the protagonist and the hero of the case. Juror 8 represents the strengths of the jury systems. Juror 8 insists on looking at the facts in the case even though everyone else has already got their mind made up. In the play juror 8 is used to represent a juror who is doing his duty the right way. He is patient , tolerant and thinks about...

...LEADER PROFILE Leader Profile 1 The person who has influenced me the most in my life is my mentor, Stanley (Stan) King, CPA. He is the reason why I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) today. I have known him all of my life and have admired him as long as I can remember. Stan is known as a man of great integrity and credibility. In the Leadership Challenge book1, it discusses what people look most for in a leader is someone who is honest, forward-looking, inspiring and competent. Stan has all of these qualities and characteristics which is why he is well respected among his peers, subordinates and those who know him. I feel as though Stan has both types of leadership characteristics; transitional and transformational. Stan is the type of person who helps others by creating options, opportunities, building commitment and facilitating relationships. I think that he has a charismatic way of inspiring others to achieve and succeed. He treats others with respect regardless of their position. He is very confident in his own abilities and not afraid when to let people know he does not know the answer. If he does not know the answer, he will try find it let you know about it and provide the resource for your records. This is a form of credibility and developing competence not only for himself but for others as well. As a leader, below are the areas in the leadership scorecard that I believe Stan rates: 1 Kouzes, J. & Posner, B. (2008). The leadership challenge (4th ed...

Mission is echoed throughout the Old Testament and exemplified in the New Testament. It is a literal manifestation of the nature and character of God. All of theology demands the need for the Great Commission and the work of the Missionary. There are many motifs that are inherent in Mission Theology that determine how the work is done. Finally, how does this practically relate to the missionary, the leaders of the local church, and finally, the layperson who may never leave his or her own culture or country? Missions are for all believers, even if the only thing one ever does is pray. Old Testament In Genesis 12:1-3 one reads,” The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. “I will make you a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all the peoples on earth will be blessed...

...I. Worldview is how a person views the world and the events going on in the world around them. This may come through a person’s feelings or thoughts. It could also be based on the way a person was raised to view things. II. 1. The Question of Origin: Asks “How did mankind come into existence?” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). After God had created all things on the earth. In (Genesis 1:26 KJV); God stated that he would make Man in his image after his likeness and give them reign over all the earth. Then in (Genesis 1:27 KJV); he created male and female. He blessed them and told them to be fruitful and to multiply, and to replenish the Earth. 2. The Question of Identity: Asks “Are humans more important than animals?” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). After God had created man and blessed them, in (Genesis 1:28 KJV) God then gave man dominion (control) over the fish, birds, and all living things that move upon the Earth. (Psalms 8:4-8 KJV), says that he has given dominion over all sheep, oxen and the beasts of the field, the fowl of the air, fish of the sea and all things that pass through the sea. 3. The Question of Meaning and Purpose: “Why does mankind exist, more specifically why do I exist?” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). We exist because we are all part of Gods great plan. God is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish. We are here to be given an opportunity of coming to repentance (2 Peter 3:9 KJV) before His final judgment descends upon a world that...

...“GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” Text: 1 Timothy 6:6 INTRODUCTION: “Now godliness combined with contentment bring great profit” 1 Tim 6:6. (New English Translation) It is said that sometimes big things come in little packages. 1 Timothy 6:6 is loaded with profound spiritual insight and complexity. However, we must note that we live in a world in which the population in general is interested in obtaining "great gain." Throughout the history of man "getting-rich-quick" have always attracted great interest. Even today, in our so called enlightened age, virtually anyone is assured of a large following if he can only convince the public that his "new idea " will produce great gain. However, the faithful child of God is also concerned about "great gain."The faithful Christian is aware that there are two kinds of gain physical and spiritual. While great physical gain is not inherently sinful, its possession often comes at tremendous risk to spirituality. On the one hand, with the increase of material wealth, there is the accompanying danger that the possessor thereof might become "high-minded," and prone to "trust in uncertain riches" instead of "in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy" (1 Tim. 6:7). We often multiply our earthly cares as we increase our material wealth (Eccl. 5:10-12). Then, too, as a materially wealthy person nears the sunset of earthly life his tangible possessions may become a source of great concern as he begins to contemplate...

...are that older are more patient than younger, a person can be attracted by another without showing it, and you must follow the time otherwise it can become ugly. The narrator is first person point of view “She was the boss girl in this group, even if nit officially a head girl or monitor” (page 3, line 43). The narrator has an objective sight, but the narrator reflects and interprets what he sees. Therefore gets the reader a subjective view on the text. Because it is his thoughts we read. “Her eyes focused, on the great brilliant horse, so close, towering there on the golden canvas, on his hind legs.” (page 4, line 102) The French girl did not say anything about the horse; therefore can the narrator not tell what the French girl thinks about the horse. We only get the narrator thoughts therefore the narrator becomes unreliable. Strubbs horse is a symbol of the older man. “But then a man sat down, on the other side of the bench’s arm and he leaned forward, elbows on knees, and locked hard at the horse” (Page 1, Line 19). Before had the horse an important role in the society. Every great leader in history has sat on a horseback, because it was a strong, powerful, and fast. Now we only use the horse as a hobby. When the older man was young he was a strong and marvellous man. He cut pick up a sixteen-year-old girl when he just where twelve years old. ”She was sixteen, like this one here” - “And you?” – “I was twelve” (page 3, line 74.

...Great Leaders: Are they Born or Made? 1 Henry Kissinger once said that "The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been." No one can deny that the act being a leader is an enormous job and that the best and worst leaders are remembered throughout history. What no one has determined thus far is if leaders are born or made. True leaders might have natural abilities that lend themselves to taking charge over people, but some leaders are born out of necessity; they see a situation and take control over it. The Great Trait website discusses the idea that there is a leadership trait that determines a future leader. This view is countered in Daniel Maltby’s article, “The State of Leadership Theory and Training Today”, where he suggests that leaders are developed, not born. Even Colin Powell agrees with this view. Francis Yammarino sees no point in discerning whether a leader is born or made, and John Gardner is more concerned with the unrealistic expectations for the leader once in charge. Therefore, a leader is made, not born, because with the right opportunities and training, anyone can become a leader. In ancient times, leaders were, in fact, born to the position. Leaders such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar were born into families who demanded that they would one day lead a nation. Others are born with the qualities necessary to become a great leader. Determining whether or not a leader is effective is the more difficult...

...document of a period-of-time being studied. It includes diary, books, music, photographs, paintings, etc. They are created by witnesses who had experienced events during the period. I have looked into several sources, and music from the great depression interests me the most. The lyrics, melody, and tempo expressed the musicians’ subtext profoundly. By looking at the lyrics from the great depression, I have identified the most frequent topic, which was money. Even though the lyrics came with cheerful tones of melody, but the words deeply strikes my heart. Money can’t buy happiness but you can’t survive without money; people during that time were so desperate for a better life, thus they think about fortune all the time. Desperate lyrics along with ‘happy go lucky’ melody made up the music culture of 1930s American history. Primary sources are very interesting to investigate because they contain real historical evidences that bring people back to the old times. One of the strength of using primary source to understand American history is that unlike secondary source, primary source prevents deformation from the original source. It is a first person point of view from that time and place. The music delivers a strong emotion towards the great depression. Music is already an influential art; music from that period could express the feeling much greater than other primary sources. The purpose of communication is very clear in music, it combine words that described the experiences...
