Babe Ruth said, "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up." A dedicated, determined worker and leader is what brings projects to completion. The quality, first-class work elevates projects. This comes from knowledgeable people who understand clients and their vision while using their own experience and creativity to make dreams come true.

During the Progressive Era there was a lot of horrible things happening. There were people that didn’t try to make it easier to live at this time. Those people didn’t care who they hurt or took over to get what they wanted to get more money.

Appiah and Carnegie both bring a certain flavor of ideas to the world of wealth. Although Appiah writes more towards the ethics and morality spectrum, Carnegie does bring a certain spice to ethics and morality that is both bitter and sweet and visa-versa. In both of these writings, one can benefit from each other work. Taking what you know and applying it to your writings, is what both Appiah and Carnegie did when explaining their points of view. Virtues, happiness, and ideals combine to form the bases of both of these informative writings.

The Shadow Leader Project has been the most informative, empowering, eye-opening assignment and experience, I have endured through all of my years as a college student. Not only did I learn small details of the construction work zone, but most importantly, through Krystal, I learned what obstacles she faces being the only woman working in a predominantly male- dominated field, and how she overcomes those obstacles to obtain, persevere, and break through the glass ceiling to achieve excellence and status within her title as, Construction Management Surveyor at Engineer Surveyor Hawaii.

With a “We Can Do It!” attitude Team A managed to build a house in 2 hours and 55 minutes, creating a world record under strenuous conditions. The video “Four Hour House” showed us a competition based out of San Diego. This motivational video illustrates the principles of total quality management and team work. But in a regular situation how can we actually build leadership from the ground up? This four hour house was built with a high performing leadership team.

The managers at Washburn made certain that when it came to interviewing the craftsmen for the position, they focus not just on their skills but also on his or her cultural fit within the organization. The foremost character that subordinates alike show in motivating each other is the importance of fellowship and culture. It is impressive how the willingness of employees strive to expend the extra effort that usually requires extraordinary performance. It is noted that the influences that ambition one are different from the influences that ambition the

I chose this book in hope that it could help me understand the difference between managing and leading. In addition, I wanted to gain more knowledge and tools to help myself grow as a leader and help develop all of my subordinates that I may have to time throughout my career. The book jacket for this book is ultimately why I decided to read the book because it truly grabbed my attention. I found it interesting that John C. Maxwell is a #1 New York Times bestselling author (Maxwell, 2013). Moreover, the book jacket continued to catch my attention by stating to be more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people (Maxwell, 2013). I particularly found the “invest in people” line most interesting and caused me to want to read and learn more about the authors perspective on leadership.

I truly enjoyed reading the material for this week 's discussion. I found it fascinating to read how these people of passion were so revered as leaders. Something I found difficult while reading the stories of these various leaders was the details of what they did within their respective industries that made them successful. Although I recognize the importance of the details, I found myself continually fanaticizing about how the many different approaches would directly translate to the fire service. Because of the uniqueness of the fire service as an industry, I found it easier to relate to themes and concepts rather than the details. 'Strengths Based Leadership ' by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie For example Simon Cooper stated: "people create memories, not things. If we ask guests what color the carpet was in their guest room, they probably won 't know. The real value comes from the ladies and gentlemen (employees) who bring that hotel to life. Ten percent is the platform, but the rest is people. (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 43) As I read this I couldn 't help but think of the fact that our customers in the emergency response world (fire service) likely remember more about how we treat them than what uniform we wear or what kind of apparatus we arrive in, so long as we bring true caring and compassion to their bedside. In addition Cooper 's people over platform approach was obvious in this Rath & Conchie description: "then when he talked of the night-and-day difference that a

Organization leaders should understand that employees are not only economic beings motivated by money but are also social beings motivated by social factors such as love and conducive working culture (Marquet, 2015). Sinek focuses on the various means of bringing the balance back in our organizations so that companies and the individual workers can work side by side in a symbiotic affiliation with each other. For example, Sinek points out an example of a CEO named Bob Chapman, whose major focus was building workers who are capable of doing extraordinary things (Sinek, 2014). Considered a people-centric leadership style, Mr.

In addition, in order to have a healthy professional or non-professional relationship you build trust and confidence with each other. All client’s voluntary or involuntary are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity and to have their choices facilitated (Dean H. Hepworth, 2010, p. 27). A bond of trust must exist before people are willing to risk that difficult human experience of change (Bradford W. Sheafor, 2008, p. 35). Thus, the most fundamental tool of the trade is the use of a professional relationship to help people become open to the possibility of change and actively engaged in the change process (Bradford W. Sheafor, 2008, p. 35).

Shaffer Steel was a company that was started by one man, sitting in the basement of his apartment building in 1963. He had a single phone line, a list of people that he had worked with in the past, and the skill set for being a steel salesman that he had gathered from prior experience in various different professions. Over half a century later, Shaffer Steel is a successful family-run business, which employs half of my family, including the founder, who is my grandfather. Growing up with a background such as this one has taught me many valuable lessons. The most important of these lessons include dedicating myself to every task I am assigned through being loyal and attentive to those who I work for. My values have revolved around putting everything into my work despite any difficulties that arise from the job at hand. By coming from a family-owned business, I have been taught to work hard in everything I do, and make genuine connections with both colleagues and employers, in order to maximize the experience that I receive from any given occupation.

Looking back at my own experiences with working with the community and organizations, I have seen how important it is to have human relationships. Working as an Activity Assistant in a nursing home and a Navy Ombudsman provided many opportunities to see how relationships can be successful with working with others and creating bonds not only with individual, community
