Red – Chinese Triads Red organizations have existed since the beginning of life. The textbook uses the wolf pack example to illustrate how leaders in red organizations need to harness their power to control others. A leader within a red organization must maintain their power so that no one below them attempts to take the crown. (Laloux, pg. 18) The Chinese Triads date as far back as the mid-seventeenth-century during the Ming dynasty. (Chu, pg. 11) The Chinese Triads are essential a gang that has been categorized as both, organized and unorganized power. The Triads typically use the headquarters system to run their organization. (Chu, pg. 22) Unorganized or not, the Triads use fear to maintain power and control. I think the Triads fit the textbook’s description of a red organization. The Triads originally started as one single organization but then grew into separate organizations once the labor market grew. According to Triads as Business, Triad leaders set up their headquarters and then set up branches that stem out to operate certain areas of the leader’s turf. (Chu, pg. 22-23) The triads quickly took control of their turf by promising the locals and local businesses protection from other triad gangs. The Triads would use fear and violence for those who chose not to comply. There have been at least three hundred recorded cases of Triad societies, all originating from different leaders. (Chu, pg. 20) Red organizations are horrible at planning, which can be influenced
Leadership takes notice, responsibility, self-development, and experience. Thoughts pop up when one thinks of a leader, perhaps a captain of a team, the president, maybe even the bigger brother. These people are mostly responsible and developed, they take notice into what is happening in any situation, but the experience is where a leader and a follower have things in common in most situations. Lord of the Flies is a book where children are trapped on a deserted island and have to create their own small world. Jack is one of the chosen leaders in the book, he came with most of the children from the plane crash. They soon meet Ralph, who is another chosen leader throughout the book. So called “leaders” in the book are very important characters

He realized that to be part of a hierarchical group, one must fight back, but not physically. Orr learned from his experience strong ties are found from hierarchy movements and high-activism. Gladwell explains technology cannot be used for high-activism because it does not contain the bases of hierarchy, meanwhile throughout Orr’s experience strong ties were formed without the use of technology. Hierarchical organizations allow witnesses to express their passion by setting clear goals with the use of strong ties.

Organized crime is found in the United States of America today and the law enforcement agencies are trying to find a way to curb its existence. Even though there are illegal businesses associated with organized crime, they are mixed in with legal businesses to portray a legal front. It also can be called a social institution because it is led by a boss and follows a chain of command much like a pyramid. Empirical and speculative theories have been developed through the years in order for the law enforcement agencies to better understand organized crime and how to deal with it.

Once a new member to the group has become comfortable with the gang, the individual will become accepting of the activities of gang life.

Thank you for your comment on my post. It's a pleasure to share some points in common. I would agree, that the characteristics are unlimited to subdivide each gang upon it's own description. They are viriable upon the situation, location, social environement and even genetics in some cases. However, there are a possibility to trace gang's activities and to split it in sub- categories. Nonetheless, those sub-categories content is based on illicit activities, and as I said in my post, Omaha police Dept. Declared, that 'not all gang are bad', but if their activities are good, than it won't be a gung but something else. Like for example, it can be named an organization insted of gang, with the primary propose of their activity/ies based on their common

So it was a foggy day and everyone was just inside because it was to foggy to drive. So everyone was on twitter tweeting at each other. When Bill was on twitter he saw a tweet that said “Bill no one likes you…we are sending out strongest Asian gang member to come hurt you. So as the Asian came to kill Bill he walked up to him and killed the Asian with an ak. Bill went back on twitter and sent a tweet to Asian Mafia and said that he killed your biggest and baddest gang member and that none of them could kill him. Later that week the Mafia told him they were sending 50 men to come and kill you while you are sleeping. As Bill
Russian organized crime's hierarchy resembles more closely the structure of Italian based mafias with a clear division of power and leadership roles. There are four main groupings of individuals that comprise Russian organized crime: elite, support, security, and the working. The elite group are the highest leaders, with the secondary command of the support role. The security level members are responsible for the protection and intelligence gathering of the organization as these members are viewed with more confidence than those of the lowest class, the working role. The working role members are the predominant executors of the crimes. The hierarchy structuring of Russian organized crime draws on similarities and contrasts from such Asian
The Yakuza are an organized crime group that have developed in Japan. The Yakuza date back as early as the 17th century where they were thought to be the “crazy ones”. The reason for why the Yakuza became as powerful as they are today is mainly due to the organized structure they have in the criminal organization.

While the sheep are busy eating the grasses in the field, the shepherd must search for green pastures. Just like the shepherd in the fields, a leader in the business world must know where his team is headed, aligning their strategy with the group’s goals. They must step up in order to lead their group. In this chapter, it was also emphasized that just like the gentleness of the staff, a good leader must use persuasion and not coercion.
The concept of power is an applicable leadership concept. Leaders use power to decipher whether they have the ability to acquire the commitment or obedience from their workers/officers. Leaders that are educated or trained under the old-paradigm, have low levels of expectations of others around them, and tend to use
