...Apply the Ethical Decision Making Method at Small Unit Level 158-C-1230 FM-1 FM 6-22 AR 600-100. Performance Steps: 1. Clearly define the ethical problem. SFC Sharp failed to shred secret documents that he personally marked as shredded. SGT Day is trying to cover for SFC Sharp and is encouraging me to look the other way. 2. Employ applicable laws and regulations. The unit commander and the unit’s standard operating procedure will determine if the documents were mishandled. SFC Sharp recorded the destruction of the book theses pages were from but the commander and proper personnel can determine if misconduct occurred. My responsibility is to report any questionable or unsafe acts. 3. Reflect on the ethical values and their ramifications. FM 1-60 States: “The Army is a values-based organization (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal courage). It upholds principles that are grounded in the Constitution and inspire guiding values and standards for its members.” FM 1-61 builds on the value based ethics by stating: “The Army Values are the basic building blocks of a Soldier's character...

... no coordination. However, discipline is a complex product of training, leadership, and respect. It is respect which creates devotion to the team, and the important part is that that respect flows both up and down the chain of command. A leader respects the skills, strengths, and sacrifices of the people who work for him, and by giving that respect, in time and with effort, his troops come to respect him as well. That respect grows into devotion: the devotion of the leader to his troops, to do his best to see them through tough times and bring them home to their families, and the devotion of the troops to accomplishing the tasks of their unit under the vision of their leadership. Disrespect, however, has exactly the opposite effect. If a leader disrespects his troops, he fails to earn their respect and therefore fails to create devotion to the team. His attitude will be noticed and will become detrimental to morale, which in turn will hurt the combat effectiveness of each troop as well as the whole. Because he cannot respect his troops, he will also fail to recognize their true strengths and employ his forces to the best of their respective abilities. If, on the other hand, a troop fails to form respect for ANY leader, no matter how good that leader is at their job, then that troop forms a sort of uprising point... a point of discontention that saps unit cohesion and draws any other malcontents to it. Such behavior undermines the authority of the leader as well as...

...Introduction Fayol’s 14 principles derive from the circumstance that Fayol felt that management was not well defined. In his striving to change this circumstance he suggested “some generalized teaching of management” to be a main part of every curriculum at places of higher education and even beginning in “primary schools” . Fayol’s dedication to this idea is demonstrated by the fact that after retirement he went on to not just write books about management ideas, but more importantly, he found the Centre For Administrative Studies (CAS) in 1917 in Paris . The CAS mainly functioned as a centre of discussion between professionals from a large variety of professions, in order to further the knowledge and understanding of management principles. Discussion is what Fayol had in mind, when he presented his 14 principles . In Fayol’s own words: “Are they [the principles] to have a place in the management code which is to be built up? General discussion will show”. In the following I will discuss each of his principles under the aspect of a comparison with examples, historic or modern, and in relation to other theoreticians of management, in order to examine how Fayol’s principles hold up as “management code” today. Principle 1: Division of work The idea of division of work, or as Adam Smith called it “division of labour”, in 1776 probably goes back to the beginning of work itself. Fayol recognizes this in considering specialization as part of “the natural order” comparing...

...Paradox Therapy Paradoxes gure prominantly in this book, but most of them are purely intellectual. Paradoxical statements are apparent impossibilities that seem well supported by apparently good arguments. Interestingly, there are paradoxical commands as well as paradoxical statements. A very simple example is the command \don't follow this command!" Whatever you choose to do seems to violate the command. In order to obey it you must disobey it, but in disobeying it, you seem to obey it. Now, at rst it might seem that such a command is rather silly and easy to ignore. But suppose you are in the army and the command is given by a superior ocer, or you're a child and the command is given by a parent, or you're in love and the command is given by your lover. In short, imagine that the command occurs in a markedly unequal relationship. Second, suppose that you can't step outside the situation to point out the absurdity of the command. There is no judge that you can appeal to. Then you would be in a major bind indeed. You would be in what psychologists call a \double bind": Anything you do can and will be used against you. Thus we see the three ingredients of a paradoxical command or double bind: (1) a strong complementary or asymmetrical relationship (ocer-subordinate) (2) that can't simply be terminated (because of society, laws, and so on) and (3) an apparently meaningful but logically contradictory order. A realistic example of a double bind is described...

...Command And Control In Public Services Command and control is used within all public services in order to carry out tasks/operations in an effective, efficient and proper manner. Without command and control, the public services would not function properly and the employees within those public services would not be able to carry out their roles and responsibilities properly. It is important that all public services employees are over trained in their job just in case they need to work in a situation on their own without anyone else telling them what to do. For example, if a member of the ambulance service is by himself/herself and comes across an individual who has been run over, they must know exactly what to do and how to cope alone, and this is an example of why it is important for the public services to be over trained in their job. Every public service carry out different roles and responsibilities and it is through command and control that the individual is able to carry out their daily tasks in an effective and efficient way. Command and control ensures that the individual knows EXACTLY what their job entails and it ensures that the individual is fully trained and over trained in the job they specify in. Command and control in the Army is highly important for military exercises such as drill practise/competitions. The individual in charge of the military exercise e.g. Sergeant Major, must have good command and control over the soldiers in order for the soldiers...

...The Effect of Employees on Organizational Goals The Effect of Employees on Organizational Goals No organization can function without a work force. While the size of the work force can vary, all organizations can either prosper or fail due to the employees that make up that work force. The police department is no different than any other organization when it comes to the necessity of its work force to work together in order to produce results. The police department I work for has five different divisions that field most of the work force. These divisions are as follows: Field Operations Division, Administrative Division, Detective Division, Special Operations Division, and the Internal Affairs Division. Each of these divisions has a specific responsibility. The responsibilities set before them organize what each division is responsible for so that they do not overlap and do each other’s work. The mission statement for the Raleigh Police Department is “In the spirit of service, the Raleigh Police Department exists to preserve and improve the quality of life, instill peace, and protect property through unwavering attention to our duties in partnership with the community.” Field Operations has the largest number of employees and the greatest effect on organizational goals. The Field Operations Division within the Raleigh police Department is broken into six districts covering different parts of the city; Northwest, North, Northeast...

...------------------------------------------------- Superior orders From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Superior Orders) Superior orders, often known as the Nuremberg defense, lawful orders or by the German phrase "Befehl ist Befehl" ("orders are orders"), is a plea in a court of law that a person, whether a member of the armed forces or a civilian, not be held guilty for actions which were ordered by a superior officer or a public official.[1] The superior orders plea is often regarded as the complement to command responsibility.[2] One of the most noted uses of this plea, or "defense," was by the accused in the 1945–46 Nuremberg Trials, such that it is also called the "Nuremberg defense". The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals, held by the main victorious Allied forces after World War II, most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of the defeated Nazi Germany. It was during these trials, under the London Charter of the International Military Tribunal which set them up, that the defense of superior orders was no longer considered enough to escape punishment; but merely enough to lessen punishment.[3] Historically, the plea of superior orders has been used both before and after the Nuremberg Trials, with a notable lack of consistency in various rulings. Apart from the specific plea of Superior Orders, discussions about how the general concept of superior orders ought to...

...what extent are things only good because God commands them? (10) To find out the extent to which things are only good because of God commanding them you would first have to decide whether an action or thing becomes good because of God commanding it or if it is good before. Other questions which should be examined include whether the things God has commanded you to do are actually ‘good’ and if the things God has said are wrong and immoral really are. Personally I believe that many things can be good even if God has not declared it to be so and this point has become increasingly obvious throughout time; one of the most renowned and obviously ridiculous examples of things that God has informed us is not ‘good’ is homosexuality. In my opinion this is the best example of why the answer to our question is a ‘very small extent’; God, Christianity and many other religions are absolutely against homosexuality with no exceptions at all taking a strictly deontological view on the matter. Despite the act you would think, not hurting anyone Leviticus 18:22 clearly states that this is an abomination and those who practice homosexuality should be put to death, yet the entire religion of Christianity is based upon love, love of oneself, love of your neighbour, and most importantly love of God. But why should the love of another man be considered evil? God has clearly commanded that humans should not be gay and that the act is wrong, evil, and most poignantly not ‘good’ but then sets the double...

...Command Design Pattern Agenda * What is the Command Desgn Pattern (CDP) * Object Interaction and Command Object Hierarchy * Command Pattern generic UML * Recorded demonstration * Java example code * What are the benefits/drawbacks of the CDP The intent of this presentation is to provide a walk through and recorded demonstration of the command design pattern. What is the Command Design Pattern? * A Behavioral design pattern * An object is utilized to represent and encapsulate information * The information includes method name, object owning method, and method value parameters * The information can be called immediately or at a later time The command pattern is a behavioral design pattern in which an object is utilized to represent and encapsulate information (Banas, 2012). The interesting thing about the command design pattern is that it can allow one to store lists of commands which can be called immediately or at a later time. What is the Command Design Pattern? * Client specifies which command to run when the execute() method is invoked on one of the encapsulated methods * An object named “Invoker” transfers the Command to a separate object named “Receiver” which executes the correct code The command pattern allows the client to determine which command to run when the execute method is invoked in the command interface (Kuchana, 2004). After the command is “invoked” to execute, he concrete command that is identified transfers...

Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Shift ⇧ Option ⌥ Control ⌃ Caps Lock ⇪ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key.
