Use table 16-2 to evaluate the extent to which Lynn Tilton displayed the characteristics associated with being a good leader and good manager.
Lynn applies several of the leadership characteristics listed on Table 16-2. The first one demonstrated in the case study is understanding and using power and influence. When Lynn was asked by Tony Brown is she was going to strip and flip the company, she came back with a witty answer that she only stripped and flipped men, and that the companies she deals with is placed at at a higher level.

Employees tend to work better when they are not being intimidated or bullied by their employer. Lynn being from a difficult background allows her to have the ability to be down to earth with her workers. With that being said, Lynn does possess a few negative traits. She may mean well, but these traits can cause external and internal stakeholders to get the wrong idea. One of her negative leadership traits deals with her being intemperate. As a matter of opinion, her appearance can cause men to get the wrong idea about her. The case study states that she wears high heels and tight leather skirts (Kreitner & Kinicki,2013, p.36). She has proved to be successful but appearance is a priority when involved in a leadership position. In the office, your clothing and grooming should not distract. This isn't the time to express yourself. It's all about projecting a business demeanor. Your clothes should help bring focus to who you are as a professional. The overall goal when dressing business casual is not primarily comfort. It is making sure you still look professional (Osborne, 2011, p.1). However, Lynn displayed situational approaches toward leadership by changing from trading debt with her own money to taking control of the companies whose debt she was acquiring to maximize her profit.

This ethical issue that I have decided to write about is a matter that has occurred in many medical facilities across the world. I have made up some names for this case study but the incident is real. This case study involves a physician named Derek Johnson M.D. This physician worked with numerous of nurses and other health care professionals and most of them believed Dr. Johnson had a narcotics problem. The health care providers did not know for sure if this physician was using narcotics they could only speculate and they had some evidence that Dr. Johnson was illegally using the narcotics. The health care providers thought Dr Johnson was illegally using anesthesia. The reason the other health care
Another assessment that surprised me was ‘Characteristics of a Type-A personality’. According to the Business Dictionary, this type of personality is defined as “A temperament characterized by excessive ambition, aggression, competitiveness, drive, impatience, need for control, focus on quantity over quality and unrealistic sense of urgency” (What Is a Type A Personality). To me, this was the most straightforward assessment since most people understand that the negative aspects of this type of personality being bossy, pushy, competitive and overbearing. Yet Type A leaders are also very productive, successful and motivated

Downsizing has become a commonplace strategy for organizations to adopt in an effort to cut costs, eliminate redundancies, and streamline organizational systems. Over the last 15 years, many organizations have engaged in downsizing more than once. Most companies have learned from the mistakes of the past, but some companies are still trying to use the same tactics today that were used in the mid 1980s, that leave employees reeling.
