Leaders are the central figures in a team, and they are attributed to the largest share of blame or praise depending on the performance. New leaders in an organization are faced with many challenges on how to start making an impact and successfully lead the subordinates on the set mission. According to Kangas (2013), the key element for a new leader is to establish interpersonal links and relationships that are necessary for learning about the organization. The success of the leader and the organization as a team depends on the quality of interpersonal relationships that develop to help the leader in implementing their mission. Additionally, the influence of leaders over their followers is largely founded on the interpersonal relationship as members of a team (Kangas, 2013). Another major source of challenge for leaders in organizations is the implementation of changes that affect the existing relationships and roles in major operations. BBBSA demonstrates the challenges that can arise for new leaders in organizations in implementing changes and the effectiveness of the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory in addressing leadership issues.

Atticus brings up the fact that Mayella had bruises on the right side of her face, and Tom Robinson injured his arm in a cotton gin.

Put all together is hard to describe – something I had only seen in photos! I walked around with Sheila and she introduced me as a new member and I was met with such welcoming kindness. Of course, I had to explain that our boat wasn’t ready, and that it was PLASTIC! No one cared! “Welcome to the club!”, “Those boats are cool!”, “I can’t wait to see it!”, “How did you decide to buy a classic boat?” All my fears about not fitting in because our boat was fiberglass and not completely stock were silenced. Ann Guldemond and Judi Schoenherr welcomed me to the club and Margaret Herr took me for a personal tour of the beautiful home on Bryson’s Island. I enjoyed my first day with the club immensely, feeling welcomed and looking forward to more great times boating with nice people. I couldn’t wait to tell Scott! Now if there were only cell service on this

As the sun quickly rose over the visible horizon of the dark blue, brisk waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach, Florida, John knew he was late as he threw his rod and tackle box onto his fishing boat. The boat had a navy blue hull with white and brown accents that emphasized the boat and on the side was painted “Sharon” in memory of his wife who had died the year before. He untied the cleats attaching his boat to the pier, started up the engine and as the exhaust filled the air, he set off.

During the hurried, yet gleeful, disembarkment of the passengers aboard the cruise liner with luggage in hand and sporting newly acquired sun burns from the 2 week long voyage, she bided her time patiently along the lower promenade, watching the many American nouveau riche converged with their waiting family and friends prepared to regale them with their adventures in the far off islands of the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. Up until this point, not a single consideration or doubt had entered her mind as the ship neared the States and thankfully, she remained resolved in her long considered decision to return to her homeland.

When the water is stagnant and quiet, that is when the trouble comes. Storms aren’t the cause of most sailing crashes; it is the calmness that is dangerous (Lochhaas 1). The saying ‘the calm before the storm’ might have actually been made for sailors. Jessica wanted waves to come so she could learn and do something exciting. Many people were right in the danger side of sailing what they failed to realize was the type of danger. Sailing has been part of Jessica’s life since she can remember and sailing has been around since mankind can remember.
