Job interview

Imagine that you are in a job interview. The interviewer makes the following comment:

Describe what you learned in this module to this future employer. Make sure to cover:

  • a clear description of win-win problem solving (remember to be discrete to your potential employer!)
  • strategies for effective teamwork and collaboration;
  • ways of influencing and managing change (make sure to discuss all three strategies discussed in the Switch video)

You want to accomplish two things in this assignment:

1) demonstrate to a potential employer what you know about teamwork and collaboration;

2) demonstrate to me that you have learned the content in Module 4. To achieve the second goal, you should answer the three bullets above using content from Module 4.

 

Conclude with a summary of how this knowledge helps to make you more effective team-member and collaborator.

Write 300-500 words. Post your response to the same place where the collaborations videos are posted, which is Assessment: Demonstrating Relationship Management.

 

Write a research paper on a biography of a famous person. Focus on one particular part of that person’s life that you consider to be a turning point.

Walt Disney

NOTES FROM THE PROFESSOR:
As you already know, the research paper is going to be a biography of a famous person. However, this paper will not be a typical biographical essay that tends to give a chronological—and boring—description of the subject from his or her birth to his or her death. Instead, focus on one particular part of that person’s life that you consider to be a turning point. For example, if the subject of your paper were Barack Obama, you would probably focus on his election as president. If the subject of your paper were Harriet Tubman, you might want to discuss her first successful navigation of the Underground Railroad. A person’s turning point, however, may not be the most obvious choice. In your research you may find that the most important instance of a person’s life occurred in his or her childhood, and not at the point where he or she achieved the apex of fame and accomplishment. And for certain celebrities, their deaths might be considered the most important turning point. Consider Abraham Lincoln, for example. Certainly, his tragic and unexpected murder could certainly be considered a turning point in our national history.

Discussion in 150 – 250 words:

  • Begin thinking about specific places you are familiar with or where you have visited. Are you aware of any issues or controversies related to these places? A street? A school? A park? A business? Now, think about these places in a more “global” way. For example, if there is a park or school that you are already familiar with, think about what that place might look or be like in another region or country. What do public parks look like in a city like Tokyo or Moscow? What significance do these spaces hold? You might even use Instagram or Google images for ideas!
  • Dierdre Mask has given us many ideas so far, so maybe you can apply some of those to places that interest you. Think about the “local lore” that exists where you live. Are there any spaces that have an interesting history or story? Here’s your place to discuss.

For this discussion, write about three (3) possible topics for your analysis and critique. Your final topic does not have to come from this brainstorming session, but this exercise is a way for you to contemplate some possibilities.

Post and then respond to at least two of your peers. In your responses, provide meaningful feedback or comment on ideas you find interesting. Ask for clarification, if needed. This is a way to help all of us in this phase of the writing process.

Video Journal (Humanities)

Create a video journal (about 4 -7 minutes long) that highlights 3 living African American artists. Why do you like them and their work? Why is it important?

This video journal (you can use Studio or whichever platform you prefer) should highlight 3 living artists. Have fun with this – while you are exploring their work – think out loud (in the video) – question the position of something in a painting; wonder about what their inspiration is/was. In other words, while this is a serious assignment, it is meant to make art fun and accessible. You don’t have to know a ton of artistic terms – but make sure to comment on your observations.

Video journal of emerging artists.: After you have watched the video of Titus Kaphar and read the Google art spotlight, create a video journal of three artists that are currently living and creating work that you admire. Like before, do not feel limited to painting – art today is multimedia, uses textiles, includes photography and combinations of videos and sounds. I’m sure there are some great artists I have never hear of so I look forward to seeing who you find!

Myths

Many myths contribute to the idea that only a select few can be diversity-conscious leaders. These are some of the most common:

• Myth One: Diversity-conscious leaders are naturally “people persons.”
Reality: There is nothing natural about the ability to relate to others effectively. As with any skill, people develop and improve their competencies in this area.

• Myth Two: Diversity-conscious leadership is an extremely rare ability.
Reality: Everyone has the potential to be a diversity-conscious leader.

• Myth Three: Diversity-conscious leaders are intellectually brilliant.
Reality: Brilliance is not a precondition for diversity consciousness. Any number of brilliant leaders find it difficult to relate effectively to people from diverse back-grounds. Furthermore, people with “average” capabilities can be exceptional leaders.

• Myth Four: Diversity-conscious leaders are charismatic extroverts.
Reality: Some are but many are not. Diversity-conscious leaders do not fit one mold; rather, they display a wide assortment of personalities, behaviors, and communication styles.

• Myth Five: A diversity-conscious leader must be able to persuade and control people in spite of their differences.
Reality: Diversity-conscious leadership is not so much the exercise of power as the empowerment of others

Review the 5 myths of a diversity-conscious leader.
1.Have you ever believed any of these myths to be true? Explain.
2.Does your cultural background influence your view about the effectiveness of leaders who show a great deal of interpersonal sensitivity? Explain.
3.What is one important life experience that has helped you improve your leadership abilities?
