MBDO Implications

What might have been the setback we previously faced in making decisive, clear or sound effective decisions? Was it a defect in how Commanders and Leaders led units or troops, or perhaps the philosophy in which we chose to command and control every aspect of the battlefield? What does it mean to recognize or comprehend the art of Command and the science of Control? The six principles of mission command are key in developing a cohesive team that will support all aspects of the mission. Asking “why” is now encouraged when it pertains to certain situations or missions. Understanding the purpose of why a course of action or desired outcome is necessary, leads to mission success and a cohesive unit with thinking leaders. Thinking clearly usually isn’t an issue for most leaders, but position an individual in a situation of extreme stress or complexity, then there might be a reason to be concerned. Through

Of charter, proprietary, and royal colonies, colonists from charter and proprietary colonies would enjoy the most freedom because they had the power to establish their own government, they weren’t directly ruled by the British government, and their rules from Britain were not highly enforced. In many charter and proprietary colonies, colonists could form their own their own governments, whereas in royal colonies, colonists were ruled by a governor who had been appointed by Parliament. Also, in charter and proprietary colonies they could elect their own officials to represent them in government, something that did not happen in royal colonies. Lastly, in charter and proprietary colonies they had rules from Britain that they were supposed to

All of these issues are summed up in Thompsons (2008) assertion that Groves was the right man to grow the business but not the right man to manage the business, had the right manager been in place then the organization may have been able to turn its fortunes around.

Recommendation to correct this issue would be to publish clear guidance for Commanders at all levels by defining what “best qualified” means or to repeal the tri-signed memo. Furthermore, providing clarity to the Commanders would remove the subjectivity from what “best qualified” means for the commanders who decide a Soldier 's career is what our Soldiers deserve that have deployed several times to protect the freedoms we all have come to enjoy. The tri-signed memo mentions, Commanders will evaluate Soldiers, according to the “whole Soldier” concept. According to (Army Regulation, AR 601-280, 2011) this includes recent or repetitive punishment, low line or aptitude scores, low evaluation reports, slow rank progression, potential for continued service for use in a combination or by themselves. Defining what “best qualified” translates to or just following regulatory guidance Commanders would remove the question and the subjectivity from potentially this life-altering event of deciding who stays and who goes. After recognizing, the ethical conflict, leaders could evaluate their options by looking through the three ethical lenses. Commanders can utilize the ethical lenses of rule-based, virtue-based, and outcome-based to get multiple perspectives to come to a well-informed decision.

Inferior Company Leadership - President Barry Louden failed to manage the business at a high level, recognize the warning signs, and proactively deploy a strategy for improvement. He fired his accountant and allowed the company to flounder, displaying no sense of urgency, taking on increasing amounts of debt, and failing to reach out to Ashmark for help until it was too late.

Leadership comes from top down and in this case Col Parker needs to enhance her transactional leadership tools from Management by Exception to Contingent Reward or CR (discussed later in the plan of action) and strengthen her transformational leadership. She exhibits individual consideration by treating the members within the wing as family, not just subordinates. She has the people behind her simply because they know she genuinely cares about them and their well-being. This can be capitalized on as part of a new campaign to put an end to the mishaps. MSgt Jones and Mr. DeBurgh have a plethora of experience between the two of them that can be harnessed and developed. I will provide the intellectual stimulation (IS) for these team members to get them back in the game to provide ideas for a new safety campaign. Mr. DeBurgh eluded that he has ideas on how this problem can be conquered based on prior experiences and MSgt Jones can possibly provide cutting edge technologies in mishap prevention from the classes he takes. SSgt Williamson is ready and willing to work wherever she is needed. She’s been placed in an administrative role, but her passion regarding the recent mishaps surpasses her knowledge of file plans. She is a young innovative thinker and can provide great support in the campaign. SSgt Williamson, along with Lt Johnson, could

At the beginning he was told to report to Jenkins, however, once he got to the site he was assigned to Jeff Hardy.  After the company reorganization, he found himself wondering whether he should report to Knight or Hardy. However, despite the confusion, he never brought up this question to Hardy, Jenkins or Knight. He perhaps then fell into the trap of a “boss­subordinate relationship” and went with the structure he felt was assigned without truly understanding its reasoning. ii. He didn’t take enough time to understand HQ’s perspective on various issues a. Replacing the chief engineer, rejecting frequency reuse patterns, or failing to get sign off on agreements for GMCT cell sites indicate failures in managing upward management relationships. Problem #2: Employee Dynamics Strengths 1. Peterson was committed to building an empowering environment for employees. i. Peterson called weekly construction meetings, which invited all to report on the company’s weekly progress and issues. Shortcomings 2. He failed to consider alterations in team dynamics when making hiring and salary decisions. i. He hired Trevor at a higher salary rate to the resentment of other employees, causing significant damage to the trust and respect between employee and manager.

I would be very wary of a business professional that presented so many problems in such a short time predominantly in the fundamental area of communication. McRae’s team members tried to overrule Ludmilla’s efforts to bring back culturist aspects and were very insensitive in

I see the problem as this: A blatant disrespect displayed by a few of the managers, specifically the most recent Mr. Franklin who was the manager in charge of Marsh when he was asked to resign. Franklin constantly hounded Marsh, saying that he portrayed poor work habits and was disorganized and

Immediate Concern A successor has to be found to replace the retiring Jack Welch, as no suitable candidate has yet been determined. This is becoming a concern for shareholders who want to realize the same returns they have been receiving under the Welch regime. The new CEO needs to be dynamic to lead this complex organization, and sustain the rate of growth realized during the Welch era.

     Throughout the novel The Scarlet Letter there are many symbols. One of the biggest symbols of the novel is the scarlet letter A that Hester Prynne is sentenced to wear after she commits adultery. It is a symbol that is sewn onto her clothes for everyone to see. It is a punishment that is meant to humiliate her for the duration of the time that she stays in Puritanical Boston. During the novel, the scarlet letter changes and evolves from meaning adultery to meaning ability and even physically changes its form.
