...An increasing number of educators have begun to discuss how leadership evolves to match this quickly changing world. Usually people believe good leaders should have outstanding charisma and skills in order to lead successfully. This essay, however, will examine the servant style of leaderships which, rather than relying upon command and control, is structured from the bottom-up. That is, servant leaders approach the organizational goals by establishing the organization’s norms to help people who is in need.(Tiaki, 2014). Servant leadership is of 3 core elements: listening, conceptualization and stewardship. This essay will discuss these three elements and demonstrate how they work in action by examining the life and exploits of Martin Luther King. When discussing about the servant leaders, the ability of listening can be emphasized at the very beginning. That is more than just listening. This is where making conscious efforts to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, try to understand the complete message being sent. According to Nichols(2009),good listeners try to understand and realize what speakers say to them and no judgment will be delivered. So good listeners not only make speakers perceive that what they are talking about is interesting to the listeners but also to get information, understand and learn at the same time. For examples, If students can pay more attention and patience to listen to what teachers say in the lectures obviously...

...In the essay “What Written Knowledge Does: Three Examples of Academic Discourse”, Charles Bazerman presents a four part model through which we can analyze written works (Bazerman 24-26). The model includes the object under study, literature of the field, anticipated audience, and the author’s own self. Furthermore, we can apply Bazerman’s framework to different works. These works, though facing a difference in subject matter, nevertheless fit into this framework. The framework can be used to compare two different pieces, “Connecting natural landscapes using a landscape permeability model to prioritize conservation activities in the United States” by David M. Theobald, Sarah E. Reed, Kenyon Fields, and Michael Soulé as well as “Gender and Wilderness Conservation” by Kimberly Jarvis. All four parts in the framework are of immense importance, as we can use them to determine their purposes of each article. Consequently, we can compare the ideas and arguments made in these two essays, notwithstanding their difference. Additionally, we will learn through said comparison how each article seeks to persuade the readers that conservation is a virtuous task which which one should choose to involve himself in. The first essay, “Connecting natural landscapes...

...We had to write an argumentive essay responding to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. responds to the clergymen's letter to him in Birmingham Jail. We were to include a counter argument. Martin Luther King strongly believes in protesting for the Civil Rights of African American citizens. I agree with his argument and viewpoint completely. There are two kinds of citizens in the US, citizens and non-citizens. There should be no in-between when it comes to citizenships and rights. If someone doesn't act for equality things will never change. To be direct, African Americans are citizens just as much as Caucasians. The Africans that were brought to the states helped build this nation. In actuality the only true citizens or "all Americans" are the Native Americans. In the Declaration of Independence, it says all men are created equal. This means that there are no second-class citizens. Martin Luther King is protesting for that to be a truth in the United States. The Constitution is made for everyone. Martin Luther King is protesting so that the Constitution will not only be used against us but for us, as it is with Caucasians. To elaborate, the government affects blacks. We have to stop at red light, pay our taxes, and obey the speed limit. So, we should be able to elect the people that are going to ultimately affect our lives the greatest. With protesting voices will be heard and African american will be recognized as a part of the country. If no one acts on voting rights for African...

...An essay on Sport The issues involving Sport has been a popular topic amongst scholars for many years. I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of Sport. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, there are just not enough blues songs written about Sport. It still has the power to shock those most reliant on technology, many of whom fail to comprehend the full scope of Sport. Keeping all of this in mind, in this essay I will examine the major issues. Social Factors Comparisons between Roman Society and Medieval Society give a clear picture of the importance of Sport to developments in social conduct. I will not insult the readers inteligence by explaining this obvious comparison any further. The immortal and indispensable phrase ‘honesty is the best policy’ [1] created a monster which society has been attempting to tame ever since. Much has been said about the influence of the media on Sport. Observers claim it raises the question 'why?' Some analysts have been tempted to disregard Sport. I haven’t. It is intrinsically linked to adolescent inner acclimatisation. Economic Factors Increasingly economic growth and innovation are being attributed to Sport. We will study the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model. For those of you unfamiliar with this model it is derived from the Three-Amigos model but with greater emphasis on the outlying gross national product. National Debt Sport Clearly the graphs demonstrates...

...a monarchy versus a republic: indeed, the decision to abolish the monarchy has already been made. Rather, it is an attempt to answer the question of how this central feature of our constitution could be replaced. In answering this question, I will look to a possible alternative, namely an elected president, and determine whether, and on what basis they could take over the functions of the monarch. Other constitutional issues regarding the selection of such a President must then be considered, along with other constitutional issues arising in this context. As a preliminary issue, it should be noted that in this hypothetical situation, it is Prince Charles, or rather King Charles III, who is on the throne. The Queen’s reign has ended and the Crown automatically passes to the next person in line. The King is ‘not subject to death’. Professor Brazier has commented, ‘In considering changes to the monarchy, it is unrealistic to expect people to ignore who is the present and the next Sovereign’. Any discussion of the monarchy changes dramatically when we are talking...

...Leaders Are Born Not Made Introduction: The factual analysis about leader ship in this essay is based on results published in Journals and books published in various time-periods and by a variety of respected people belonging to the Psychological societies around the world. The fact being that no Leader is identical to an other so deriving a conclusion from any particular theory has always been a question mark. Although one may comment about the innate genetic factors which has given raise to “Born Leaders” and the “Made Leaders” by their choice and opportunities to improve their skills and work towards a goal. Born and Made Concept: According to “Fielder”, leader is defined as a person who is “appointed, elected, or informally chosen to direct and co-ordinate the work of others in a group”. So one has to understand leader and leader-ship are two very different concepts. With reference to the statement leaders are “born not made”, certain predispositions such as personality characteristics, could add an additional advantage of being a leader. The other factors such as family genes which one may procure are definitely cannot be argued upon. Intelligence, religion-growth-status, society, education, training, job etc... remain as external factors influencing ones Leadership. Therefore a change and a conflict is simply evident. The recent break through of a concept called “Cloning” has stirred a wider controversy about replicating a “LEADER”. Although the research is banned in...

...Serving in the military for over 20 years, I have held various positions of leadership. Throughout that time, I have had opportunity to improve my skills as a leader, as well as evaluate the type of leader that I am. Due to the ever-changing political climate, different leadership styles demand new types of leadership roles. There is not a one-size-fits-all type of leader in the military. All missions are unique, and personnel are always changing positions in the Navy overall. Therefore, leaders in the military must “adapt and overcome”. Chances are the command may not be successful at the mission at hand if they cannot adapt and overcome. While I was in the Navy, and now in civilian life, I have witnessed many different examples of leadership, good and bad. The style that I especially admire, which I also see in myself, is the servant leadership style. This style is not always applicable in the military, and often not favored, its role can be beneficial to the maintaining the welfare of the Sailors if not used to drive the mission. There have been many writings about the effectiveness and qualities of servant leadership. Robert Greenleaf’s essay “The Servant as Leader”, Greenleaf states, “servant leaders possess greater self-awareness, elevated levels of empathy, exercise more responsible...

Together with lessons from ancient Rome the world has learned much. Essay1: Differences in terrain and climatic conditions between Athens and Sparta Greece has many cities and towns, however probably the main ones in ancient times were Sparta and Athens. These two cities shaped the political life and history of Greece for quite a long time. The influence mainly centred on land and agriculture. For, about 90% of Greece production was agricultural in nature, with grain production as the dominant area. Incidentally, grain was a staple product and food of Greece. As a result the land that was used for grain production was a vital part of wealth and a valuable asset, for which citizens compete for. This essay is going to explore the difference in terrain between Athens and Sparta and how it affected agriculture and political rights, including democracy as well as how agricultural production had an impact on the distribution of political...

...Assignment One: Cortés’s letters are an essential source for understanding the early Spanish presence in Mexico. He wrote five letters from New Spain to the king, in which he recounted, in a simple but detailed style, Spain’s progressive entry into new lands. The second letter describes the province of Culua, with its great cities, especially “Tenustitlan” built on Lake Texcoco. Cortés speaks with great admiration about the Aztec king, about how his people serve him, and about their rites and ceremonies. The letter relates the most noteworthy events concerning the entry into New Spain: the surrender of the chief of Cempoala, the procession towards the capital, the alliance with the Tlaxcaltecas, early contacts with the ambassadors of Moctezuma, and the meeting with the Aztec chief in Tenochtitlán. Assignment Two:...

...Roger Logan Professor Garvin English 1010 Paper #3 Comic Book Boys Peter Middleton’s essay “Boys Will Be Men” begins with simple anecdotes about the relationships between boys and men of different ages. Middleton then changes his focus towards comic books, where his focus remains all the way through the rest of the paper. Circling back to his original thoughts, the focus on comic books leads to an analysis of comic books in regards to children and their development into men. In his conclusion to the essay, Middleton states, “Nevertheless, action comics for boys are certainly damaging because they offer false solutions to the difficulties of growing up which both sexes face” (Middleton 141). Often Middleton points out that the reason that little boys read such comic books is that their true role models, their fathers, are not home. So in their absence, the children latch onto the traits found inherent in the superheroes they read about. However, the newly found role models, and superheroes, do not represent that which should be portrayed to our children. Throughout many comic book series there seems to always be portrayed a sense of masculinity gone wrong or hypermasculinity. Along with others, though primarily in the comic series of both Batman and of Spiderman, this specific form of masculinity being shown to the children is expressed through a relationship between the superhero, and the law. In the end, comic books become what is essentially a display case for the extremes...

...Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning William R. King Katz Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh wking115@yahoo.com For centuries, scientists, philosophers and intelligent laymen have been concerned about creating, acquiring, and communicating knowledge and improving the re-utilization of knowledge. However, it is only in the last 15–20 years or so that a distinct field called “knowledge management” (KM) has emerged. KM is based on the premise that, just as human beings are unable to draw on the full potential of their brains, organizations are generally not able to fully utilize the knowledge that they possess. Through KM, organizations seek to acquire or create potentially useful knowledge and to make it available to those who can use it at a time and place that is appropriate for them to achieve maximum effective usage in order to positively influence organizational performance. It is generally believed that if an organization can increase its effective knowledge utilization by only a small percentage, great benefits will result. Organizational learning (OL) is complementary to KM. An early view of OL was “encoding inferences from history into routines that guide behavior” (Levitt and March, 1988, p. 319). So, OL has to do with embedding what has been learned into the fabric of the organization. 1 The Basics of Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning To understand KM and OL, one must understand knowledge, KM...

...Essay – By the Waters of Babylon Written by Christian Dall In this essay I will analyze the text By the Waters of Babylon, which is a post-apocalyptic text. In the analyze, I will look at the following aspects of the text: Setting, Persons, the relationship between father and son, The title, the messages and the themes. We are in a savage land, and meet a young boy named John. John is the son of a priest, and now he must go on a journey to become a real man. On Johns journey his spirit leads him to the forbidden land, which is called the “God place”, the god place is an abandoned city, and here John finds out that the god place, aren’t where the god lived, but it was ordinary men, destroyed themselves, with war and nuclear weapons. The story takes place in a savaged land “Everywhere there are the ruins of the towers of the gods” (19. 38-39), there are the hill people, where john lives and then there are the forest people. The two different people can be compared to two different rival tribes. You don’t really know how long the story stretches across but I guess it is about a week, otherwise john wouldn’t have time to get to the god place and back. John is very curious; he is an explorer and wants to know more and more “my knowledge and my lack of knowledge burned in me – I wished to know more” (17. 7-8) At the start John is just a young boy, but on his journey he grows up and becomes a real man and sees the world for what it really is “I am a priest” (22. 56) This is what...
