Question 2:
Several symptoms indicating the problems exist in Lacrosse Inc have been stated in the previous analysis. We have identified three sources of the problem which are: - Changing in leadership style - Differentiation - Commnication -
In this part we will try to analyze the underlying cause of the problems using two leadership theories, namely path-goal leadership theory and competencies perspectives of leadership.
Moreover, we will try to relate this case with other Organizational Behavior theory. We have identified that this problems create a kind of conflict in the organization. So, we decide to approach this case with theory of conflict. Here, we will only use two sources of conflict, namely differentiation

He taught the new apprentices how exactly to make a handcrafted wood-framed window, understanding what are the characteristics of good wood, the best tools to use, and how to choose the best glass from local suppliers. This is considered directive style. However, this style is suitable for new apprentices. Since they had no skills and experiences, it is necessesary to give them direction about what tasks they have to do, how exactly to do the task, what method should be used, and what goal wanted to be achieved. As the company were getting bigger and the numbers of employees were increasing significantly, Lacrosse delegated the task to train the apprentice to his master carpenters and other craftspeople.
2. Supportive
The second style that he used is supportive. In the early years, when he still taught the apprentices directly, he will not be reluctant and sincerely applauded the apprentice for their accomplishment. It would give some sort of motivation to the apprentices to maintain their good works. Moreover, he is willing to spend most of his time in the production shop to be with his employees, learn their needs, listen to them and motivate them to perform their best.
When the headquarter was moved due to expansion, he would still chat with the plant and office employee several times each week. He kept his supportive style. He would show up during evening break with coffee and boxes of doughnuts to discuss how the business
I will implement Erikson’s theory in my future classroom to develop industry among my students. For example, I will accomplish this by simplifying extensive instructions or activities to make them more comprehensible to my students. This will allow them to build upon smaller successes to achieve a greater goal. Additionally, this will increase their confidence to step outside of their comfort zone. This is in connection to stage four of Erikson’s psychosocial developmental theory. (Ormrod, 2014).
Organization is a very diverse and rich place where in different types of personality come in contact. They come from different family background, beliefs, upbringing, attitude etc and other factor that affect the personality. Sometimes conflict arises due to individual differences thus this result to the study of human behavior in organization to better understand each member of organization what contributes to their behavior, how can their attitude/ behavior affects performance and productivity that contribute to the organization as a whole.

The study of Organizational Behavior (OB) is related to individuals, group of people working together in teams. The study becomes more challenging when situational factors interact. No two individuals are likely to behave in the same manner in a particular work situation. It is the predictability of a manager about the expected behavior of an individual. There are no absolutes in human behavior. It is the human factor that is contributory to the productivity hence the study of human behavior is important. Great importance therefore must be attached to the study.
He knew that “practice makes perfect”. We had to repeat every bar or center combination he taught in class twice on both the left and right side. This showed me that to truly master a skill, I need to practice over and over again. It proved that time and effort can lead to significant improvement and reward.
I will be talking about my current job as a Child Protective Investigator (CPI) also known as Child Protective Services (or CPS). This is the governmental agency that is tasked with investigating child abuse or neglect. The primary concern of a CPI is the safety of the child; they do this by assessing the risk involved. By weighing that risk the CPI has to make the decision rather to remove the children or child from the home or place services within the home that will allow
It is reasonable to suggest that the overwhelming majority of humankind has either been part of or required the services of organizations at some point in time during their lives, and many of these consumers will likely testify that although every organization is different in some ways, they all share some common characteristics. Furthermore, because all organizations are comprised of mere humans, they are subject to the same behavioral whims, weaknesses and vagaries that also characterize the human condition from day to day and over time. To gain further insights into these concepts, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to develop a comprehensive and robust definition of organizational behavior. This review is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.
Students participating in apprenticeships learn so much more when they are engaging in their tasks. The spectrum of skills that they gain, whilst doing so, include a sense of introspection; a student can delve deeper and figure out what their values, morals, and beliefs are. They can gain the knowledge of who they are, and learn more about themselves. Through being an apprentice, they can discover and develop a wide variety of personal attributes, such as responsibility and self-control. Further, apprenticeships are beneficial since they "help young people develop independence and self-confidence by helping them perform difficult tasks" (Ladika 857).
Practice, training, and experiment are key to any kind of successes. I can adapt and implement his strategy to my educational journey. First of all, I can practice a new skill or knowledge.
When the speaker Joanne Lipman speaks about why the harsh strict teacher get the better results is that hard work does pay back in later future of life. Her point in this story is that showing result and what will happen if you this but never does explain many other types of ways to do just her own which only is tough work. There are many other things better done but for this tough is shown more here “He made made us rehearse until our fingers almost bled. He corrected our wayward hands and arms by poking at us with a pencil” (Joanne L). The best way is the sharper the skill Joanne mention is the better they become in these for which i do agree in their point of view but harsh work will cause more friction. In the start of things
Lee motivated his men by riding the lines and encouraging them. He inspired his officers by giving them responsibility. He offered his examples, and he offered his trust. Lee did not see his subordinates as tools on which to exercise his ego, but as individuals with specific strengths and talents, whose ideals should be consulted (though not necessarily accepted) and whose freedom to respond to challenging circumstances in the field, expect where it might conflict with an overall plan, should be assured.

Study and organizational skills take on many forms within the classroom. They are an integral part of the curriculum, learned by active participation, taught in natural progression from simple to complex, and essential for any student with varying abilities. Students with emotional and behavioral disorders are often disorganized learners, or just learn in a different way. Students who struggle with organization benefit from direct instruction, modeling, routines, and structure throughout their day. The author of Teaching Students with Learning Disabilities. Programming for Students with Special Needs, Book 6, provided a number of strategies that have been used and benefited students with vary abilities have success with their organizational

In organizational behavior, there are many topics researched. Motivation happens to be the most researched (Robbins & Judge, 2014, p. 96). According to Robbins and Judge (2014), motivation includes the processes accounting for a person’s intensity, persistence of effort, and direction toward completing a goal (p. 97). The three concepts capturing the essence of motivation include hope, action, and vision.
