    $27.50

    Assignment 2: Leadership Assessment
    Due Week 8 and worth 300 points

    Organizational leaders are expected to create realistic visions for their companies and the employees they guide, but these visions often have characteristics or properties that differ. There is, therefore, the realization that there is no one best leadership style to guide employees toward accomplishing organizational goals.

    Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

    Analyze the leadership style(s) of a senior executive (CEO, CFO, COO, Director, etc.) in your current or previous organization who made a positive or negative impact on you.

    Analyze the organizational structure and culture of the company for which you work (or would like to work) to determine its approach to team development, and whether that approach helped to enhance your relationship skills in the workplace.

    Evaluate the performance of your selected leader based on his or her ethical conduct and effective communication to determine if this leader was successful in motivating and empowering you to improve on your work performance. Explain your answer.

    Determine three (3) best practices organizational leaders can use to motivate employees and discuss their potential benefits.

    Discuss some of the challenges leaders encounter when managing diversity and how diversity helps business organizations better compete in global markets.

    Develop an effective business strategy to address the challenges and issues you have identified above.

  • Module case study regarding CRM principles and concepts

    $10.00

    Write a module case study regarding CRM principles and concepts:

    United Airlines Flight 173, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-8-61, N8082U, crashed in Portland, Oregon on December 28, 1978. This accident was a seminal event in aviation history in general, and in the history of CRM specifically. In fact, the circumstances of this accident are generally considered to have been the catalyst for the development of what has become the modern CRM movement in aviation, which in itself is widely considered a cornerstone of modern aviation human factors and aviation safety. United Airlines Flight 232, a McDonnell-Douglas DC -10-10, N1819U, crashed in Sioux City, Iowa on July 19, 1989. This was also a seminal event in both aviation and CRM history. In fact, a NASA Propulsion Controlled Aircraft study using a McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 aircraft was conducted as an outgrowth of this accident. The circumstances of this accident are also widely considered to be an outstanding example of the successful improvement in aviation safety that can result from a modern (at that time) CRM program.

    Individually analyze and evaluate the factual information portions of both the UAL 173 NTSB Accident Report (PDF) and the UAL 232 NTSB Accident Report (PDF). Next, creatively apply the results of your analysis to both of these accidents. Finally, compare and contrast the circumstances of both of these accidents in regard to CRM principles and procedures and draw conclusions. As always, support your work with a reliable source(s).

  • Corporate Social Responsibility

    $10.00

    Two movies – Wall Street (1987) and Other People’s Money (1991) – have given us a glimpse of how things are changing in the corporate world as it relates to corporate social responsibility. Each of these movies is well worth watching. However, the essence of each movie is provided in the text of the Wall Street (1987), Gordon Gekko’s speech. You can read the text of the Wall Street (1987) speech in the following paragraphs:
    • Text of Gordon Gekko’s speechGekko: “Well, I appreciate the opportunity you’re giving me, Mr. Cromwell, as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak.Well, ladies and gentlemen, we’re not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and economic reality. America, America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. Now, in the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder. The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company!All together, these men sitting up here [Teldar management] own less than 3 percent of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million-dollar salary? Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than 1 percent. You own the company. That’s right — you, the stockholder.And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their steak lunches, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes.”Cromwell: “This is an outrage! You’re out of line, Gekko!”
    Gekko: “Teldar Paper, Mr. Cromwell, Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents, each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can’t figure it out. One thing I do know is that our paper company lost 110 million dollars last year, and I’ll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents. The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated.In the last seven deals that I’ve been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you.I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed — for lack of a better word — is good.Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms — greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed — you mark my words — will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.”

    Assignment: Questions below in 4-5 paragraphs in strict APA 6TH

    • What you think about the ethics of Gordon Gekko (Wall Street)?
    • How would you describe each man’s probable view on corporate social responsibility?
