Critical Analysis Of A Journal Article

There are conflicting expectations of the nature of a company’s responsibilities to society. However, those companies that undertake what may be termed ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ must decide; what are the actual social responsibilities of these companies? I will present a possible paradigm. Also, I will look at the benefit to the business that employs proper management as compared the business with poor management. This research paper describes my view of corporate social responsibility and compares the social responsibilities of Delta Air Lines and Spirit

This paper will respond to three questions, “Are all managers leaders?” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 425) “What are some common barriers preventing leaders from behaving ethically and how can these barriers be overcome?” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 450) And “Is it possible for leadership substitutes to be effective?” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 450)

The author of “Be Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead”: The Davy Crockett Gun Craze is by Sarah Nilsen. The purpose of the article is to give detail of how Davy Crockett became the emblem that was known for guns and coon skin hats. The author does not specifically identify the purpose of the article. The purpose is well stated in the detail given about how the legend became a legend and what part Walt Disney played in it. The war, families, television shows, toy makers, and any other company that could profit from Davy Crockett and The Wild Frontier played a major role in making Davy such a legend.

Published in 2013 by the Wallace Foundation, “Something to Say: Success Principles for Afterschool Art Programs from Urban Youth and other experts” is an expansive compilation of research into the lack of access, interest, and utilization of meaningful art programs amongst tweens and teens considered to be low income. Broken down into two chapters, the article explores elements such as stigma, parental values, safety concerns, youth opinions, and quality of art programs, as it relates to utilization of school art programs. However, the elements mentioned above are only a handful of the things captured and explored throughout the article. This information was found using various methods of research, but it seems as if focus

Finally, leadership in a business organization based on stakeholder theory requires leaders who are servants versus ones who are served. This requires leaders who show care and concern for employees and other stakeholders and to recognize that assisting employees in reaching their potential enables the organization to achieve its financial, social, and ethical goals. Responsible leadership is not about the grandiosity of a leader. It is about who the leader serves and requires humility, modesty, and a desire to support and care for the interests and needs of others (Maak and Pless, 2006).

I really liked your post and I enjoyed reading about your key facts. I am glad that you brought up the point that “critical thinking people are aware of their biases and can set their emotions aside”. We live in a world of bias thinking and have to be taught not to see things in a single camera perspective. Revising the way we think opens up a new perception of our world view. Critical thinking impacts how we view other cultures, race, class, religion and evaluating how to understand what we read about issues and people. Your article is a prime example of how our thinking can make an impact of biases and stereotyping perception of problematic issues. Having proficient critical thinking skills help to evaluate our judgement more effectively

Craig Johnson wrote an article in November 2008 to evaluate the most controversial tenure of Carly Fiorina, the former Chief Executive Officer of Hewlett-Packard (HP), using the ethical leadership construct. In the article, Johnson generates several questions that relate to leadership and management practices. The evaluation of HP’s former Chief Executive Officer is influenced by the fact that the company experienced a decline in productivity within a short period after the CEO entered the organization. Actually, Fiorina entered a largely successful firm and introduced significant changes within a short time duration, which had considerable impacts on the firm’s operations. The dramatic changes that were introduced within a short time culminated in the decline of the value of the company’s stock within five years and the eventual unceremonious removal of the CEO. This paper provides a response to the article through examining how it demonstrates leadership.

It encourages leaders to be confident with whom they are as people. Every situation is unique hence, should be treated as such. Indeed, the article does not seem to select favorites for leadership positions. Leaders are also empowered to guide organizations through difficult moments. Organizations that have leaders who embrace the values of authentic leadership are assured of ethical actions and practices. Indeed, the article has a way of eliminating the clutter that seems to surround leadership topics today. As such, leaders do not have to fumble about what leadership styles suit them most. For this reason, there can only be a focus on personal development. Organizations can also be assured that their leaders are developing and committed to the work that is before them. This coordination in an organization creates a balance that can assist organizations to plan for the long

Paul and Blanchard ( 1988) define leadership as a manner in which it directs, implements, provides and motivates people. The power of methods can contribute to leaders influencing their employees. Power is exercised and workable if intertwined within authority and the ability to have or do things which the foundation of power is ordered. To most people standards are acceptable because ethical standards are the standards for our environment. When faced with an unusual dilemma, situations occur from which an actual response is often needed.
