1. How would you distinguish the diff. between leaders an authority figure? Give example.

- A leader is a person who has a vision, a drive and a commitment to achieve that vision, and the skills to make it happen. Every leader has its own vision. A leader is a person who has a vision, a drive and a commitment to achieve that vision, and the skills to make it happen. Whether the goal is to double the company's annual sales, develop a product that will solve a certain problem, or start a company that can achieve the leader's dream, the leader always has a clear target in mind. While the Authority Figure is a person a person whose real or apparent authority over others inspires or demands obedience and emulation, like Parents and teachers are traditional authority figure for the children.

2. In what ways do leaders reflects the group value?

- If a leader didn’t show a good attitude to its member automatically they will lose respect to this person, for example, what do you think of a store or restaurant when they have a horrible manager? Same with a bad coach on a sports team. You lose faith in them.

3. Explain this statement "a man who commands efficiently must have obeyed other in the past".

- This statement tells us that if the person who acts good and respectful they must be obeyed by someone. Like for example in a sports team if the coach shows a good moral to his or her players of course the payers should always follow whatever instructions she or he has given.

4. What type of leadership affects low output, high labor turn over, absenticism and accident in industries?

- This type of leadership is incompetent the leader and at least some followers lack the will or skill (or both) to sustain effective action. With regard to at least one important leadership challenge, they do not create positive change. Incompetent leaders are not necessarily incompetent in every aspect. Moreover, there are many ways of being incompetent. Some leaders lack practical, academic, or emotional intelligence. Others are careless, dense, distracted, slothful or sloppy, or they are easily undone by uncertainty and stress, unable effectively to communicate, educate, or delegate, and so on.

5. What essential qualities would you expect from a leader?

- 1. CONFIDENCE - can take control of any given situation 2. COMMUNICATION / INTERPERSONAL SKILLS 3. INNOVATOR 4. MOTIVATING / ENCOURAGING 5. VISIONARY

6. Are leaders born or leaders made?

- It turns out to be a little of both. Leaders are sort of born and they're always made. It seems like there's only one thing that a person needs to actually be born with in order to be a leader later in life. That's intelligence. A leader needs to be smart enough.

7. Is leadership a monopoly of the upper class? Defend your answer.

- A big no. because even in middle and lower class you can find leaders there. For me the basis of finding leaders is the character and how responsible the person it is. Not all people in the upper class are responsible enough to be a leader.

C.1- "Why people resist change in the workplace."

- For me people resist change in the workplace because of the unknown, based on previous experiences and sometimes people resist change because in the end it’s the thing to do. Even me the reason why I resist change in the workplace because, I know it’s one way of helping my parents in a small way. As a member of a varsity in the school it’s hard for me to study hard due to the conflict schedule of our practices and games but still I’m trying hard to survive on it so that my parents has a discount on my school fees.

C.2- "Commitment to change vs. resilience to change."

- In this time of dramatic change, one thing has become clear. The world is becoming more turbulent at a faster pace than organizations are becoming resilient enough to handle that change. Individuals with higher levels of resilience were more committed to change during organizational transformation.

C.3- "Change in you"

- I become a better person than before through my companions because, they taught me how to be strong person and change my negative attitudes trough correcting me when I am wrong and I become a better one through all the trials that I’ve been encounter. For this subject I learned so many lessons especially on how to handle a business and I don’t regret taking this course because it’s all worthy and fruitful. C.4- "Change around you” - In 21 years of my existence, there are so many people that has different attitude that I’ve encounter. Some of them learned a good lesson from me, for being a God fearing person and how to value the things that they have. I am always telling to those people especially my friends that they should put God at the center of their lives whenever they are and whatever they do.
