Big Boss

5.2 Authentic Leadership Discussion I believe my former manager was authentic in his effort to be a company man. He was for the organization and concerned mostly about building morale during a time that the Cuyahoga County was freezing pay raises and promotions. Morale was at a low point and as a result job performances suffered. Employees began to be okay with doing the minimum or what was required and nothing more. Our department meetings were bombarded with the “be glad you got a job theme

I was thinking the same thing. If he lost his job, then he would have nothing. Well, maybe toilet paper for a little while. :-) The man had been doing this for so long, I am not sure if the boss felt sorry for him, or the boss was afraid of opening a can of worms if he said anything. The boss had a company truck and would leave to visit other campuses. Funny thing is, no one at the other campuses ever saw him. He had greenhouses from the cuttings of other trees on campus that he would sell.

Analysis of “Boss’s Son” by Michael Cleary The poem titled Boss’s son, by Michael Cleary, is a poem about a young man who works for his father while attending college. This poem is written in first person, and the narrator feels that working for his father is hard work. He acknowledges, “The first few weeks were the worst… among beer drinking, beer trucking men” (Cleary 429). Through the voice of the narrator, Cleary describes how difficult it is to be the boss’s son; therefore, Cleary claims that

I believe that for bosses to be effective that they should take the steps needed to ensure that they are feared rather than loved as seen as many rulers of various countries of the world. If they are feared rather than loved then that country that has the feared leader will be a strong country as seen in multiple times periods throughout history. We will look at the time period where Cesare Borgia was a feared leader and not a loved ruler. We will also look at the time period where Joseph Stalin

The Unique Speech There are two parts in education which are creative thinking and knowledge. Many American teachers believe that creative thinking is much more important than knowledge. What is more, American teachers thinking that it is important to build students’ self-esteem which can make the students more confident. However, Professor Jacob Neusner, distinguished scholar at Brown University, gave a different speech which talks about how school life is entirely different from real life. In his

The Qualities of the Best or Worst Supervisor I have Ever had In this essay, I will be talking about the qualities of the worst supervisor I have ever had. A bad supervisor can make things very tough for everyone. One of the worst qualities a supervisor can have is not being fair to their employees. Other qualities my supervisor had included micromanaging, being inconsiderate, never being able to admit a mistake, and being a poor communicator. These qualities have made this supervisor a very bad

Quigley and Mehrdad Baghai talk about eight archetypes of leadership from their new book, As One: Individual Action, Collective Power (Portfolio, 2011): • The landlord and tenants – Tenants voluntarily decide to join landlords, but once they do, the boss has the top-down power, controlling access to scarce resources, doling out rewards and sanctions, and dictating the terms of tenants’ participation. • The community organizer and volunteers – The power for setting direction comes from the bottom up

The Case of the Transferred Employee The case study of the transferred employee is a narrative that explains a situation where someone within a healthcare organization is going against what is ethically right to avoid negative repercussions by human resources and his supervisor. This is an act that happens all the time within organizations. I believe this to be true because I have personally seen it done. I can see how the supervisor in this case study would have a very difficult time

objectives rationally. For example, she seem far more comfortable in probing comments about her team being unskilled by reminding Len that they are former members of his team and trained by him. She also corrected Len when he tried to say that the boss was aware his decision, when in reality he had already approved Marilyn’s position. • Were Len's objectives on the way to being effectuated in the second exchange? No, in the 2nd exchange Len was still hostile and evasive about his obligation to

example, when the boss was getting suspicious of George answering all of Lennies’ questions by commenting that Lennie “[wasn’t] much of a talker, is he?(p21)” and also by asking “then why don’t you let him answer? What are you trying put over?(p21)” If the boss found out then the truth about Lennie, he would have immediately asked them to leave. Furthermore, the theme of social isolation is vividly displayed with Crooks, just because of his skin color, gives the boss rights to “give
