...Finding the Right Style of Leadership: Using The Emotional Intelligence Approach Many people have brought various different approaches in regards to leadership. One of the main approaches to leadership is emotional intelligence for leadership (or for short, emotional leadership). Emotional leadership can be defined in many ways. We will define it as; “the capacity to reason about emotions, and of emotions to enhance thinking. It includes the abilities to accurately perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions and emotional knowledge, and to reflectively regulate emotions so as to promote emotional and intellectual growth” (Mayer & Salovey et al., 2004). If a person can master the ideas of emotional intelligence it will help them become an incredible and effective leader. Every person that takes the role of a leader has the same goal; to get results. There is no exact science to be a perfect leader. However, there are steps one can take to be the best possible leader. Every person may be better suited to lead a specific type of situation. Yet, a person can use some of the tools given here to become a great leader. Every person will lean toward one style of leadership more than others. It may fit the person’s personality more or it may be how they feel they can get things accomplished for that group. One of the main figures in the dynamics of leadership, Daniel Goleman (2000) breaks down leadership into six simple...

...The Negative Aspects of Multi Media Katie McMullin Breckinridge School of Nursing The Negative Aspects of Social Media The influence of media on children today is profound. Today’s society is dependent upon multimedia daily. Media comes in many forms such as television, internet, video games and music videos. It effects children in many ways and has been known to cause depression, aggression, isolation and nutrition deficiency. Advertisements influence how our children preserve themselves and make them susceptible to alcohol, smoking and sex. The negative aspects of multimedia have left our children without the proper tools to live life without electronics. This leaves our youth not having the skills to communicate face to face without Discomfort, anxiety. Depression, aggression, and the feeling of isolation. Television Television has the potential to be beneficial or harmful to children. The benefits to watching TV is that there are educational shows such as Animal Planet, documentaries and some educational cartoons. For these purposes the TV can aid in the development of our children but where do the parents draw the line? TV is not being watched for beneficial purposes and turn into a negative aspect in our children’s lives. It has been shown that people have little brain activity while they are watching TV. According to The Journal of Cognitive Liberties “For a brain to comprehend and communicate complex meaning, it must be in a state of “chaotic disequilibrium...

...Buying a computer in the post, petrol at a supermarket, mortgages over the phone and phones themselves from vending machines are just some innovations in distribution which create competitive advantage as customers are offered newer, faster, cheaper, safer and easier ways of buying products and services. Without distribution even the best product or service fails. Author Jean-Jacques Lambin believes a marketer has two roles: (1) to organise exchange through distribution and (2) to organise communication. Physical distribution, or Place, must integrate with the other 'P's in the marketing mix. For example, the design of product packaging must fit onto a pallet, into a truck and onto a shelf; prices are often determined by distribution channels; and the image of the channel must fit in with the supplier's required 'positioning'. You can see how Coca Cola further integrate the timing of distribution and promotion in the Hall Of Fame later. In fact, they see distribution as one of their "core competencies". Distribution is important because: Firstly, it affects sales - if it's not available it can't be sold. Most customers won't wait. Secondly, distribution affects profits and competitiveness since it can contribute up to 50 percent of the final selling price of some goods. This affects cost competitiveness as well as profits since margins are squeezed by distribution costs. Thirdly, delivery is seen as part of the product influencing customer satisfaction. Distribution...

...MOB Final Review Ch 8- Motivation: From Concepts to Applications * Developed by J. Richard Hackman and Greg Oldham, the job characteristics model (5) 1.Skill variety: the degree to which a job requires a variety of different activities so the worker can use specialized skills and talents. The work of a garage owner operator, who does electrical work, rebuilds engine, does body work, and interacts with customer’s scores high on skill variety. The job of a body shop owner worker who sprays paints 8 hrs. a day scores low on this dimension. 2.Task identity: the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work. A cabinet workers who designs a piece of furniture, selects wood, builds the object, and finishes it to perfection has a job that scores high on task identity. A job scoring low on this dimension is operating a factory lathes solely to make table legs. 3.Task significance: the degree to which a job affects the lives or work of other people. The job of a nurse handling the diverse needs of patients in a hospital intensive care unit scores high on task significance; sweeping floors in a hospital scores low. 4.Autonomy: the degree to which a job provides the workers freedom, independence, and discretion in scheduling work and determining the procedures for carrying it out. A salesperson that schedules his or her own work each day decides on the sales approach for each customer without supervision...

...The concept of security has many associations. It can include safety to individuals, the society, groups that include status, religion and colour, businesses and any other legitimate organizations. The concept of security has been an issue across generations both in animal and human societies. The often quoted sentence ‘survival of the fittest’ comes to mind in this instance. This suggests that individuals and groups (of any order) will resist and create conflict in order to survive in a particular environment, whether it is within a family, society, politics, or a business environment. Whatever the reasons may be or legitimacy of the conflict, it is up to the receiving party to ensure that they survive and grow in spite of security issues. In the business world, competition often produces security problems. The concept of globalization, the growth and expansion of multinationals has resulted in new security threats that are related to political and religious factors. In other words, business organizations can be subject to threats from local businesses, political parties, and terrorist organizations. Local businesses can create problems because the new entrants are seen as a threat and competition to their existing businesses activities. Political parties that are not in power may pose a threat because they oppose the ruling party and not the business enterprise. Terrorism and other forms of violence may occur against specific business organizations since they are seen as a representative...

...Q1. What are the different approaches to Globalization? Comment on relevance of Swadeshi movement in today’s Globalized environment. Ans. Globalization has become a ‘magic’ word used to express a change in all areas of life from economy to politics or from social politics to culture. Globalization is the growing role of external factors (economic, social and cultural) in the reproduction of all member of a country to form of a single world market(s) without barriers. 'A global shift'; that is, a world being molded, by economic and technological forces, into a shared economic and political arena. Major phase in international relations, which has been established several decades ago, but its formation was not completed by the beginning of the third millennium. However, the public attention it attracted only in 1990. Approaches towards Globalization The Indian companies are adopting the following approaches to globalization- The First Approach is the Reliance approach. Here the Indian company attains global parameters of production but its market focus is mainly domestic. E.g. Bajaj Auto, Hero Cycles, Maruti Udoy, BHEL, Mahindra & Mahindra. The Second Approach is the Sundaram Fasteners route where an Indian Company emerges as a global sub-contractor. The Chennai based Sundaram Fasteners is now a major supplier of radiator to GM. The Third Approach is the one personified by the Tata Tetley deal itself. Taking over foreign companies or investing in the foreign ventures....

...TEACHER HISTORICAL INFORMATION I’ve had 3 years teaching experience in the public school setting all of which have taken place at the middle school level, more specifically grades sixth and seventh. I began my teaching career as a physical education and health teacher, but I took and passed the Praxis II for Middle School Level Core Content Knowledge; this along with passing an Arkansas History collegiate course allowed me to add fourth through eighth grade mathematics, science, literature, and social studies to my teaching license. About three weeks into my first year teaching I was asked if I would be willing to teach science in addition to physical education to which I agreed. Since then I’ve either taught exclusively seventh and eighth grade science or a combination of physical education and science classes at said level. I also was the head coach for eighth grade girls sports and assistant for seventh grade girls sports which include: volleyball, basketball, and track and field. For this project I chose to concentrate on the interactions taking place in the science classroom setting as I feel it provides a more appropriate backdrop for this project. I feel like one of the more important qualities in both my personal and professional life is my ability to easily learn and process new information. This quality helped me immensely when I began teaching science because I had very little experience teaching in the classroom setting (just a semester of student teaching health)...

...John Maxwell The 360-Degree Leader: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization (Thomas Nelson, 2005) Summarised by George Wells This summary was written as a weekly email to the staff in George’s Department. The “Some things to think about” sections are by George and were geared for the staff in their context. In this book, Maxwell deals with an important topic: not everyone is called to be the top leader in an organisation, and so we need to learn to lead from "the middle". The idea of 360-Degree Leadership is that we should be able to "lead up", influencing our leaders, "lead across", influencing our peers, and "lead down", influencing those lower down the organisational hierarchy. As usual, Maxwell gets his points across with a series of fairly brief, pithy chapters dealing with various practical issues. He introduces the first section, which deals with myths about leadership, by reflecting on the sorts of people we instinctively think of when we think of "a leader": William Wallace, Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. He points out that this is misleading as "99% of all leadership occurs not from the top but from the middle of an organization". Taking this further, all of us can lead effectively, even if we're not the Vice Chancellor or the CEO. He notes that many people are good in one direction (e.g. they have influence with their boss, but alienate the people who report to them, or are great with their team, but do no get along...
