Team Concept, Human Behavior, Persuasion & Diversity

1. The role of the leader in the team concept is very important. Research shows that success is enhanced, if an organization understands and effectively manages five team processes. List and discuss these five team processes in Chapter 17. The five team processes are: 1. Buy-in: how the work of the team is legitimized and goals are set. 2. Accountability: how individual and team performance is managed and rewarded. 3. Learning: how performance is improved and skills developed. 4. Infrastructure: how the work of the team is systemized and resources accessed. 5.Partnering: how people interact and work together to achieve success on the team and across organizational units (Manning & Curtis, 2009). 2. Physical and emotional needs are important determinants of human behavior, helping to explain why people work, why they have certain personal goals, and what they want in their relationships with others. Psychologist Abraham Maslow divides human needs into five categories, progressing from basic needs to complex needs. Discuss Maslow’s five â€Å"Hierarchy of Human Needs. † List and discuss each one. Maslow’s five Hierarchy of Human Needs are: . Survival. The needs that are taken as the starting point for motivation theory are the physiological, or basic body tissue, needs. Taking a breath of air and acting in self-defense are normal expressions of such needs. Survival needs are strong and natural forces within the person. 2. Security. Once survival needs are satisfied, security needs become important. Freedom from threat and protection from loss are major security goals, helping explain our interest in savings accounts, medical insurance, seniority rights, and burglar alarms. 3. Belonging.When survival and security needs are satisfied, the need for belonging emerges. This is true for people in all cultures, whether aggressive or peaceful, primitive or advanced. Every individual makes a distinct effort to belong to some aspired social group. 4. R espect. Once survival, security, and belonging needs are satisfied, people are motivated by the need for respect the need to be considered favorably by self and others. The pursuit of fame, regardless of the field business, government, and the arts can be explained only by the powerful need for respect. 5. Fulfillment.After physical and social needs are satisfied, people are motivated by the need for fulfillment, which Maslow referred to as â€Å"self-actualization. † These people may or may not please others by what they do, and their efforts may or may not result in the attainment of intended goals (Manning & Curtis, 2009). 3. Chapter 18 discusses â€Å"why people do what they do. † There are nine points to remember about human motivation. With these in mind, you will better understand why people do what they do. These points can also explain the complicated relationship between personal goals and work behavior.List and discuss these nine points for human motivation. The nine points for human motivation are: a. A satisfied need is not a motivator. It is not what people have that motivates behavior; it is what they do not have, or what they have done without. b. Employee motivation and company success are related. c. Psychological needs and social values are not the same. d. The same act can satisfy any of the five motivation levels. e. All people have the same needs, but to different degrees and accompanied by different wants. What it takes to satisfy motivational needs and how much is required are unique to each person. . A person can be deficiency-motivated, bringing harm to self or others. It is possible to have an extreme fixation on a natural need, so strong that it can lead to neurotic and even destructive behavior. g. Unsatisfied needs can harm your health, as surely as if you were physically stricken. If you feel the need for recognition, but no one respects you; if you feel the need for love, but no one cares; if you feel the need for self-expression, but have no outlets, you can develop a motivation condition as harmful as physical illness. h.Leadership is important in meeting employee needs and preventing motivation problems. What a leader does will vary with the circumstances. Sample actions include improving job safety (survival needs), clarifying job assignments (security needs), offering a word of encouragement (belonging needs), providing praise for a job well done (respect needs), and offering new skills development (fulfillment needs). i. The ideal is to integrate the needs of the individual with the goals of the organization. If the needs of the individual can be satisfied while advancing the goals of the organization, he ultimate in employee morale and organization effectiveness will be achieved (Manning & Curtis, 2009). 4. Managing diversity is very important for both the leader and organizational survival. List and discuss strategies and techniques that can help both individuals and organizations man age diversity effectively. What can individuals do:  ¦ Connect with and value your own culture.  ¦ Think about how it feels to be different by remembering times when you felt that you were in the minority.  ¦ Try to understand each person as an individual, rather than seeing the person as a representative of a group. Participate in educational programs that focus on learning about and valuing different cultures, races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and political ideologies.  ¦ Make a list of heroes in music, sports, theater, politics, business, science, and so forth.  ¦ Learn about the contributions of older people and people with visual, hearing, or other impairments.  ¦ Learn more about other cultures and their values through travel, books, and films, and by attending local cultural events and celebrations.  ¦ Continually examine your thoughts and language for unexamined assumptions and stereotypical responses. Include people who are different from you in social con versations, and invite them to be part of informal work-related activities, such as going to lunch or attending company social events.  ¦ When dealing with people, try to keep in mind how you would feel if your positions were reversed. What can organizations do:  ¦ Include employees from a variety of backgrounds in decision-making and problem solving processes.  ¦ Develop strategies to increase the flow of applicants from a variety of backgrounds. Look for opportunities to develop employees from diverse backgrounds and prepare them for positions of responsibility  ¦ Show sensitivity in the physical work environment.  ¦ Form a group to address issues of diversity.  ¦ Implement training programs that focus on diversity in the workplace programs designed to develop a greater awareness and respect for differences.  ¦ Pay attention to company publications such as employee newsletters.  ¦ Evaluate official rules, policies, and procedures of the organization to be sure all employees are treated fairly. Develop mentoring and partnering programs that cross traditional social and cultural boundaries.  ¦ Talk openly about diversity issues, respect all points of view, and work cooperatively to solve problems (Manning & Curtis, 2009). 5. Historically, women in high leadership positions have come from nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and public office. However, over the last few years, they are starting to come from the business world. The Center for Creative Leadership has identified six success factors for women in high leadership positions. List and discuss these six success factors for women.The Center for Creative Leadership has identified six success factors for women in high leadership positions: 1. Help from above. Women in high levels of leadership have typically received the support of influential mentors. 2. A superior track record. Held to high standards, executive-level women have usually managed effectively and have develope d an excellent record of performance. 3. A passion for success. Senior-level women have been determined to succeed. They worked hard, seized responsibility, and achieved their objectives. 4. Outstanding people skills.Successful women executives typically utilize participative leadership, employee empowerment, and open communication to foster trust and high levels of morale among subordinates. 5. Career courage. Successful women leaders have demonstrated courage to take risks, such as taking on huge responsibilities. 6. Mental toughness. Senior-level women are seen as tenacious, demanding, and willing to make difficult decisions (Manning & Curtis, 2009).

The Need of Imposing One Child Policy in the US

Due to the raging rise of population in America, extreme measures with regard to the aim of decreasing the flaming populace had been introduced to the country’s legislative body.   Such attempt had been regarded as that which will eventually help the country’s level of productivity and societal developments aimed for industrialization reasons and thus are expected to raise the welfare of the contemporary society as well as the future of Liberty (Menken). Depletion of resources and environmental degradation The need for the implementation of a law which shall oblige the citizens to take necessary measures and constraints with regard to irresponsible ‘sexual’ intercourse leading to unexpected pregnancy and overpopulation had been sought to be a major problem in America (Fong).   As anticipated with the enormous rise, environmentalists and population development analysts stated that in the near future, with such behavior, America will most likely starve and get intoxicated with their own mess (Fong). One fascinating stand on a peer review stated that such has a big difference between â€Å"water† and â€Å"drinking water,† thus connotes the idea that of this scam of intoxication caused by â€Å"the big kids on the block† themselves, is harmoniously tolerated, then most likely there won’t be enough water for the whole jurisdiction of this country, and worse, it may also affect the production of what is edible, at that standpoint. This paper need not to specify and dwell further on the importance of H2O for this instance to take holistically the perception of the necessity of the aforementioned element to humanity (Menken).   Further, as supported by UN Population Fund, it had been noted that rampant rise of environmental and sociological challenges is manifested because of the uncontrollable mount of population in the country; moreover, the most effective cure of the society’s disease shall be the initiation of measures defining â€Å"behavioral constraints† and that is with the help of a law (Fong). Overpopulation Various advocates and analysts like Ted Turner stressed the need of China’s policy to also be adopted in the country.   Moreover, he has emphasized in his argument that America is becoming â€Å"too populated† due to the rise of migration instances and the increase of liberalism perception among its inhabitants making the concept of â€Å"freedom† expand even until the level of â€Å"sensuality.†Ã‚   With such regard, the increase of number of individuals settling in the country connotes the concept that the echelon of adversity will rise in number, and the need of flexibility among the â€Å"pure Americans† coerces them to divulge in a rather larger scope of adjustment and acceptance in the vortex of status quo (Alternatives). In addition to that, if it may not be too much to take into assumption, competition shall float up in the scenario, this paper does not encourage American couples to bear more fruits, but rather, to engage in â€Å"responsible† parenthood and focus instead in raising their offspring to be highly competitive individuals not only for the benefit of the immediate time, but for future’s sake, at that (Fong). Analysis on stated arguments What seemed to be the problem over the issue is that, many seem to not understand why such policy obliges the legislative body to act upon it in the most immediate time.   Perhaps the rise of complications had not yet been explicitly felt by Liberty’s citizens; however, we take notice with the idiom stating that â€Å"regrets come in the end†.   Taken for example the â€Å"environmental concerns†, Americans must face the truth of nature’s control; moreover, this specific argument is emphasized in John McPhee’s Control of Nature, perhaps it never crossed the mind of one’s rationality, but the tendency of it to occur is vast and, co-related with the perception on ‘overpopulation’. Moreover, the vast changes which had been occurring due to the raging response of human being’s level of rationality as well as with the exploration of new dimensions in making life easier through the use of machineries and other intoxicating components further gives a mount on the ratio of making earth a place of pollution and thus, congruent with the argument revolving around the implication of overpopulation denoting a declination of the economic state of the country anchored on the issue of employment concerns and the array of competition among workers (Menken).   The more diverse the culture outstands, the higher the possibility of racial gaps seemingly surfacing in the scale of development (Alternatives). In comparison with the discussions laid on the table, it is prudent enough to conclude that the main reason why national analysts swim in the idea of imposing ‘one-child policy’ shows their greatly concern of the future of the west and the stability of its economy.   All of the variable elements and commonsensical statements logically fall into one major blast: overpopulation. If diagramed in a web of complexity, the core element of the problem would be overpopulation, inter-connected with the plight of environmental, social, economical and political implications, thus give credit to the impression of making America a ‘one-child policy’ abiding country. Conclusion The threat which haunts the country is a contagious disease which shall surely swallow humankind if not cured in accordance with proper and crucial analysis in expunging the problem.   Industrialization and the art of making love is a freedom vested to individuals, however, the complications comprising an unsolicited control on such hook up with unpredicted circumstances.   The aforementioned essential nature of the proposition is proof enough of humanity’s concern and active involvement on development and stability. Perceivably, the most crucial problem with regard to population is the issue on pollution.   Given the fact that the innovation of technological and machinery advancement emit a raging amount of intoxicating substance, with more people exercising such is most likely the predicted horror which will sooner or later, if not eradicated with the implementation of a policy aiding the ascending population, shall haunt the living daylights of the country in the near future.

Interoffice Memo Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words

Interoffice Memo - Essay Example I do believe that law enforcement agents can be an asset in this field of investigation where digital evidence need to be handled with care much like any physical evidence should be handled in order to be assured that evidence would not be tampered with from the time it is collected unto the time that the evidence is used in court. As you have informed me, your team is not computer-trained. This should not stop your team from broadening the scope of their responsibility. It used to be that only people who are highly trained in computers are able to assist in such cases of crime as involves computers or data objects found in computer files. However, due to the proliferation of computer crimes in recent years, it has become quite impractical to be only employing the "experts" as it slows down the investigation process. It is not only impractical; it becomes quite unreasonable to have a few experts perform these duties by themselves (O'Shea, n.d.). Thus it has become necessary that law enforcement agents also be involved in the "chain of custody" in a crime scene where computers are directly involved. In this connection it would be a good thing to come together and discuss vital issues on the management of digital evidence. Your law enforcement team could undergo basic training on how to recognize, seize, transport and store original evidence in order to preserve it for forensic examination. Details of this training will be discussed in a meeting that I hope to soon have with your team. But in a nutshell, let me lay out what I hope would give you an overview of how your law enforcement team could participate in the investigation of the case at hand. Seizure Methodology Let us discuss seizure methodology. Traditionally, the first thing that must be done is to secure the physical scene, followed by securing the digital scene. In such a scenario, "all hardware and media are seized, documented, labeled and packaged for delivery to the lab" (O'Shea, n.d.). In the lab, all seized data is analyzed. This is the simplest chain of duties to be done. This, however, works well if there is only a single computer or a few computers involved. In our case where a number of computers are involved, the methodology becomes a bit more detailed because seizing all the computers would be quite impractical to do. In the event where there are a handful of computers involved, the following steps are involved: digital media identification, prioritizing the physical media so as to minimize the crime scene and then the seizure of storage devices and media. In digital media identification we simply try to find the digital media that has the highest probability of having the much sought after evidence. After the identification of all possible media involved, it must be determined which among these contain information leading to the crime. It would be impractical to get all the devices at the

What is a Tradition Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

What is a Tradition - Essay Example Traditions are usually instilled in us from a very young age. These traditions may be in the form of a Christmas morning, a Thanksgiving dinner, or simply just a family tradition that is unique to that specific family. All these events connect with something inside of us that make us look back fondly on them when we are older. Traditions define who we are and help to form our likes and dislikes, personal preferences, and characteristics. All of these traits are formed by the cultural traditions that we have been brought up in. The people who are closest to us generally shape our traditions because they have the greatest influence over our lives. The other thing about traditions is that they are highly memorable. This is because of the young age that we experience them and also because of the people who help to form them. These people are usually our family members because they are all that we have when we are young. Memorable traditions can be either good or bad; some traditions cause us to react negatively whenever we come across something similar in the future. The negative experience of a tradition may cause us to shy away from it in the future. For example, going to church is a strong tradition in some families. If we had a bad experience of attending church when we were younger, then we are more likely to react negatively to the idea of attending church once we are adults.
