Mr. Gary 's Relationship With A Governing Board

The workforce within any organization is the engine that keeps the business moving forward. Positive leadership, as well as effective and competent following, could be the difference between success and failure for a business. Effective leadership and followers should have a symbiotic relationship, which is the most effective way a business will meet its goals. It can be seen within Jake’s Pet Land case study that there truly is a difference between leadership styles amongst different leaders. While Philip and Jan took a different approach to being a leader, Adam’s role of the follower stayed the same. Adam continued to exemplify the best characteristics possible as a follower in order to make the business as

1.The mayor has requested that the city manager form a task force to perform "surgical enforcement" of city codes within an area made up of a particular demographic. The mayor believes that the area's residents have " a propensity to cause trouble" and that "flexing our muscle" will help stop potential problems from arising in the future. The rate of fire incidents and fire loss is the same as the city average. Why is the mayor's plan problematic?

On Monday, April 13th, 2009, I visited the Culver City city council meeting, and found that they operate using a council-manager form of government. For a city with a population of about 38,000, this type of governmental structure is fairly common, and I was not surprised to see it in action in a community where the median household income is around $56,000 a year. Culver City is also a culturally rich community with a 60 percent Caucasian population, and a quarter of the residents are either of African American or Asian decent. The mayor, D. Scott Malsin, is one of five members on the council, and his term as mayor is on a rotating basis. Having been to a Hermosa Beach city council meeting with a similar council-manager structure, I knew

Most of the people here were against the project but the mayor completely ignored our suggestions and he even ignored the minister of the Environments suggestion, who suggested doing a study before doing any planning at all". (Obomsawin, 1993) The mayor was ignoring not only the Mohawk people from whom these decisions were directly affecting but the general consensus which was not necessarily in support of the expansion.

Leaders need to recognize that certain motivators may not always be the best motivators. Considering that some motives may be complex, they are usually a result of some initiative that an individual may have brought about based on their personality or experience. One way to persuade followers or employees is to offer them financial incentives to increase output and profits. However, the consideration of financial incentives should also consider the leaders behavior on the employees which may have influenced the employees to increase output and profits. A transactional leader focuses on tasks and behaviors rather than relationships. Traits and behaviors influence effectiveness of the followers not necessarily the motivating factors associated with the task, such as financial (Derue, 2011). Values of the individual need to be considered when considering which motivators should be used.

A reoccurring conflict throughout this case assessment is the mayor’s ignorance to the policies that he is

The City of Whittier has two city meetings a month were the people of the community are welcome to attend. One of their city council meetings was held on April 26 at 6:30pm. The council members are Owner Newcomer, Cathy Warner and Bob Henderson. The Mayor Pro tem is Joe Vinatieri and the Mayor of Whittier is Fernando Dutra. There was a good amount of public attendance, but the attendance died out after recess. Public participation was not effective or really used throughout the meeting. The public comments part of the meeting was where the public’s voice was most heard.

Robert Dahl's Traditional Democratic Theory really does explain what is needed to make a healthy democracy. In this meeting, his theory was expressed by the lack of public participation which leads to the public not being in control. Attendance from the public is very important or else it is just a meeting between the council. I love my city, but I would not attend another meeting because the voice of the public is hardly heard so it wouldn't make that much of a difference. It was also very long, off schedule, and a little hard to understand everything the council was saying. That council meeting was my first and last meeting I attend. I did learn though how important it is for the public to speak up and be present if they want to have

Commissioner Everett asked Mr. Robinson and Mr. Durbin what their request was and what questions the Board of Commissioners could answer. Mr. Robinson explained he feels he is being landlocked by a gate which is blocking access to a portion of his property. He stated multiple time the

In conclusion, Mayor Miller will have to make a wise decision on whether to sustain Steelers plan or recreate a new plan to help the city of Stoughton. The mayor might have to cut back from the list of capital expenses. Due to the various complex task from the project, the mayor have to view the pros and cons when making the decision. A decision to whether build a new city hall will need to be considered. The city is in debt and need recovery.

Here's a letter that dares not let Mayor Jack L Publice off the hook. It's all here: the compromises, the backstabbing, the attempts to hold annual private conferences in which flagitious pissants are invited to present their “research”. My hope is that the following text will delight the critical and offer food for thought to those contemplating his cankered calumnies. He sees no reason why he shouldn't galvanize the beggarly herd into enthusiastically supporting his misinformed squibs. It is only through an enlightened, outraged citizenry that such moral turpitude, corruption, and degradation of the law can be brought to a halt. So, let me enlighten and outrage you by stating that Mayor Publice uses the word “hyperconscientiousness” without ever having taken the time to look it up in the dictionary. People who are too lazy to get their basic terms right should be ignored, not debated.

Cities face difficult issues on a regular basis, the responsibility to resolve these issues is placed upon the City Council. These elected officials have a multitude of people expecting them to make correct decisions in the communities best interest. But who is to say which call is the right call on any number of issues, that's why council members must use their best judgment when making decisions. After watching the September 21, 2016 Bloomington City Council meeting, this became clear to me. There were a couple issues that really stood out to me and seemed vital to address. The first issues that caught my eye were included in Proposition 13-35 to Authorize the Issuance of General Obligation Bonds for the Purpose of Providing Funds to Pay

In the Orion Project, Gary and Henry made some unethical decisions. Prioritize in winning the proposal, Henry misinformed the customer about the specifications of the materials. Similarly, Gary tried to hide the accelerated aging test result of the new materials at the end of the project. In both scenarios, Henry and Gary act would be considered unethical as they are not truthful to their customer and lack of transparency. In addition to lack of transparency, their actions can also impact public safety. For instance, if NASA utilized the data from SEC with the product aging test result omitted, it could potentially cause harm to their employees. As a result, Scientific Engineering Corporation would be liable for product defects. Thus,

In this analysis we will review a case titled “The Dilemma at the Public Service Department.” We will be discussing different issues, amongst them are: opinions on the honesty, malfeasance, misfeasance, nonfeasance, accountability, competence, and why these particular responsibilities are identified. We will also discuss certain trade-offs made by the commissioner’s loyalty to the department as well as the governor, and public interest. We will also be discussing three barriers when it comes to deciding how the governor will be approached, along with the basic elements that are recommended in strategic management planning.

During the past ten weeks, I have strengthened my concept of what constitutes effective leadership. Importantly, it is a leadership style that maximises the contributions of followers to achieve the desired outcomes for the organisation they represent. As Nanjundeswaraswamy & Swamy (2014, p.57) explains, effective leaders need to balance the drive to achieve a task with managing relationships. Therefore, it is essential for good leadership to not only focus on the task but develop, motivate and empower team members to strive for the achievement of task goals.
