Ldr 531 Week 2 Individual Assignment

a. The times are a population because we are considering the wait times for all of the customers seated on Saturday night.

The show that I used for this assignment was Friends. I felt that Joey played the role of the leader. When Ross told everyone he was moving, Joey was the first person to speak up about how he felt. He told the others they needed to do something to keep Ross from moving. He also went to Ross personally, and tried to convince him from following through with the move. I felt that Phoebe was the opinion giver. She kept informing the group that it was Ross' life and they should respect his decision. Whenever Joey would try to tell Ross how he felt, Phoebe would intervene to distract him. She also agreed when Ross got upset with the group. She told everyone it wasn't right to interfere with his life. With Joey taking the leader role, he helped the

For this assignment, I interviewed my friend, saeda, a married mother of two children and a 1st generation immigrant. She is a licensed practical nurse who makes about $3000 a month. She currently does not have any savings but thinks about ways to save for the future. My friend recognizes that she has a spending problem; she has attempted to free her from this never-ending cycle of spending numerous times but failed in the processes. She experiences an internal happiness when she buys things even if she does not need them. Every week she receives a direct deposit through her work, which makes it easier for her to spend her money as soon as the funds become available. She spends a good fortune of her income on buying toys for her kids and eating

During my co-op work placement, I was employed at Evichat Inc. in the position of Full Stack Developer. The total size of the company is 5 people. The Software Development team where I worked with was relatively small compared to other companies as it is an early stage startup. Throughout the work placement, I was worked on projects that involved integrating with third parties including Relativity and Clio, improving web app security with role based authentication and improving site SEO.

I have recently acquired a grand total of $200 dollars, which were given to me by my family and friends. This is great now I can use it for any of my wants, or needs. I am struggling with what I should use the money on and am writing this letter to you for your advice and recommendation. My personal value is money, this specific item is very important to me because with it you can do and achieve many things. A need are goods and services that are required for survival. Whereas a want is a desire for goods and services that can increase our quality of life but not necessary for survival.

I have been involved in a group work for my marketing class. Each week we have an assignment. We divide the work up and each work on our assigned portions. Each week we agree on a timetable of completion and each week one member always submits their portion past the agreed upon timeline. This person does not communicate that their portion will be late and does not respond to emails asking when they will their work done. This person’s late work has caused us to rush to produce the final document every week. I am trying to communicate that this person’s late work does not give us the opportunity to create the best assignments we are capable of because we are working against the clock. The person who is blocking my goal is the woman who submits her work late, every week.

I am a lifelong musician and entrepreneur. I am 52 years young and have been a vocalist since I can remember, a keyboardist for over 25 years, and entrepreneur for just as long. I have also always been someone’s secretary, administrative assistant, bookkeeper, office manager, booking agent, and spouse and mother for about 24 years of that journey. Growing up in southern California, I have performed most styles of music and sung/played in a variety of bands and ensembles since 1980. I have covered female vocalists from the 30s and 40s through current artists. I moved from southern California to rural western Colorado in 1993 and things are unique here. In 2009, I wrote and co-produced my CD, Mosaic, with musicians in Nashville with the help of Lorna

However, for this schoolyear, I was put in a group with three other students, Emma, Mia, and Lucy, who do not share my same beliefs and experiences. Emma is involved in a variety of activities including numerous AP classes. As a result, she has trouble with her time commitment and I knew from the start, working with her might be a challenge; however, I hoped for the best since she usually tries to commit to her schoolwork. Mia is involved in with the spirit team, and she dedicates a lot of her time to both the team and to her job. Despite her busy schedule, she is in the top five percent of the class and hopes that this class with be an easy GPA boost. Lucy is on the volleyball team, and even though it is time consuming she prioritizes school before her other activities. Both Lucy and I are in the class because of our interest in science and the possibility for a future career. School has always been my priority and my

In my initial post, I wanted to learn more about myself and those that I am around daily. In fact, I should have given more detail since I am interested in learning about how to communicate effectively with different personality types because I supervise many different individuals. In reality, I feel that this will give me a gateway to evaluate myself as a teacher and learn what works best for each employee. Also, we find that when we understand the people that we are around it makes us more effective leaders which can lead to a more successful workplace (Dibra, 2014). However, I have found that this class offered so much more than I first realized. During the last four weeks, we have discussed that sleep plays such a significant role in repairing our bodies, sleep deprivation can cause serious health issues, the beauty industry and environmental factors can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle, and the differences in the parenting styles. We have covered several areas in our comment section that consist of how the mind and nervous system are associated by having overlapping patterns of activity, how brain trauma can affect an individual and the discussion of neuroscience as it relates to the criminal justice system (Cacioppo & Freberg, 2013). Also, we have learned how the

Learning is the individual growth of person and new understanding around us as a result of cooperative interaction and sharing the experiences with others. I will start describing what I learnt from interaction in pair and group after detailing how I met my partner and group. I met my partner Nuttanun on Wednesday July 8, 2015 virtually because we both were not able to attend the first class due to rescheduling issue. She approached me by email and we exchanged our phone numbers. We decided to meet in person on Thursday at 6:00 pm to understand and discuss the class we missed. We introduced each other and talked about our profession and personal lives for about an hour and then we discussed the reading material given to us. We discussed it for more than 30 minutes. After discussion we decided to fill out Engaging Across Differences sheet and passed on to each other. On Friday, we met again to answer our discussion board questions and talked about our plans for weekends. My group consist of four members

For the summer of 2015, I enrolled as a student in University of Maryland University College (UMUC) to start the journey of earning a bachelor's degree in Cyber Security. For the starting course requirements, Writing 101s was one of the three classes I had picked to begin with. When I first started off in this course, I considered my writing skills poor, with unorganized paragraphing and horrible grammar skills. Now, I am able to write great with more organized essays, proper sentence structures, and also gained researching skills for future research projects or assignments. This course has dramatically increased my confidence in writing and I feel that I am able to write at college level and not middle or high school.

My MBTI profile is ISTP, the purpose of this assignment is to write about who I am as a leader. The qualities of a leader should be such that it not only leads to a team working effectively but also encourages them to be more creative and productive without the fear of being scrutinised and criticised constantly. In order to be such a leader, I would say I am now perhaps a more assertive but fair leader. Based on the models of SCARF and NVC, I would say I focus on the following: Status – I would more proactive in providing constant feedback to the team or individuals. Certainty – Having a plan is important, but having the correct plan is more important. The best way to do this is to discuss the plan with the team and mould it to fit the requirements

The Oxford English Dictionary describes the word leader as a “person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country” and describes the word manager as a “person responsible for controlling or administering all or part of company or similar organization”. Each of these meanings are very close in proximity however many in the business world have different definitions for each of these roles. Although they are different they are linked and are complementary to each other (Oxford Dictionary (American English)).

Before taking the leadership class I viewed leaders and managers the same and I was thinking that only a few people at the top of an organization can lead. However I was wrong and today I view leadership as the challenge and responsibility of every individual with potential to make a difference. Today, I view leadership as a social influence. It is initiating and guiding and the result is change. Leadership is more art than science and more skill than knowledge (Manning, p.61).

In corporate America the term used to describe a person in a position of power is “Manager”. A leader can be a manager, but a manager is not necessarily a leader. Leaders motivate, challenge, and influence others to achieve goals. Great leaders have the necessary skills and attributes which allow them to connect with the team and organization. Being a leader is not the same as managing an organization. Leader’s posses the interpersonal skills needed to influence others to achieve a goal willingly. Leading is a major part of a manager’s job. Leaders do not need to be a manager to lead people, but managers must know how to lead as well as manage.
