QUESTION
Pick an organization in an industry that you are personally interested in. Given the particularities of the organization/industry you have chosen, your job is to consider what an optimal leader would be in that context. ‘Design’ an effective leader in your chosen context, considering both the trait, skills and/or behavioral approach to leadership. Students must justify why they believe this combination is appropriate for the context. Students must use relevant theories and concepts to explain how this leader might run the organization effectively. Appropriate source material should be used to support points throughout – remember to score highly there must be strong evidence of wider reading (academic journal papers). The assignment should be structured as follows:
Part 1 (20 Marks)
Introduce your chosen organization and industry. Students should list the relevant attributes and characteristics of this context.
Part 2 (30 marks)
‘Design’ an effective leader – you must justify why these combinations of traits, skills, behaviors etc are appropriate to the context. You should draw upon relevant theories and concepts that you
have learnt from the module to support your analysis. For example, if you are discussing the personality traits that your leader would ideally have, then you could draw on the five-factor personality model to support your discussions.
Part 3 (50 marks)
Create a theory-driven argument for how the leader you have designed would effectively run the organization. You can utilize any combination of theories and concepts you believe will help support your arguments. (e.g. Theory X, Theory Y etc).
*Note you may give your assignment a project management focus if you wish to. So your effective leader design may be in relation to a specific project. Part 3 may focus on how your leader may approach running certain projects specifically.
Read the article attached and write a Review of the Literature on the Simerly articles.
The review of literature must be 2-3 pages in length and include references done in APA FORMAT.
Answer this question based on your own personal research. Be sure to use academically strong sources.
Question: Why did the Americans win their war of independence from Britain?
GUIDELINES:
“Conformity is going along with the crowd” (Chapter 9, pg. 310). “Like obedience, conformity has had a bad reputation among social psychologists, and this stems in part from influential early studies that depicted people doing foolish, irrational, or bad things in order to conform” (pg. 310).
Why do we conform and obey? Of course we know and our text points out that obedience can also be a good thing, a “prosocial behavior” (pg. 293-294) and that it is a necessary part of our cooperative daily living.
Your discussion post:
Describe a scenario in which you were persuaded to do something that you did not really want to do. (Of course you do not have to use any example that is too personal or makes you uncomfortable.)

Instructions
Your goal is to demonstrate understanding of the 4 elements associated with designing an effective warning label. These 4 elements are described on pages 542 – 544 of the class textbook (Lee, Wickens, Liu, & Boyle, 2017) as follows:
In this assignment a problem statement is presented. You are expected to design two versions of a warning statement to help prevent the problem from reoccurring. Use the template below, replace the red text with your own.
Extra Notes for Part 1:
Problem Statement: Company X produces practice IV solution bags for clinicians in training. These practice IV bags are never to be used on real patients as they contain fake or non-sterile solution. In 2014, several of these bags were inadvertently given to patients through a drip line leading to serious harm and one potential death. A description of this real-world problem can be found in the following link: www.protectpatientsblog.com/training_ivs_used_by_mistake_p
Consider the labeling on the sample product pictured below:
Summarize the Behavior to be improved: review the problem statement, the sample image, and summarize the behavior to be improved. Provide enough context for the reader to understand the root-cause of the problem so that your design intervention can be evaluated.
Design Activity: create 2 original versions (short version and long version) of the same warning label. Use any design tool you feel comfortable with (e.g., MS Word, MS Power Point, hand draw it and scan it).
Warning Label Design
Description of Behavior to be Improved: < Replace your response with black text specifically from the problem statement indicated on pg. 2: sample statement – Some students may try to take short cuts by copying work from online reseaources. These short cuts tend to occur in situations of procrastination or low motivation leading to insufficient time to fully review instructions. This warning label is intended to alert students that they should use original designs to get full credit.>

1. Discussion questions
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Poor hiring decisions can be very costly to employers. When a new hire is terminated or quits, the employer’s investment in acquiring that employee is lost. These costs include recruiting, screening, and training the new employee. How can an employer avoid hiring the wrong person? What factors should be considered in making a hiring decision? How would the employee selection process differ for a high-level, key position versus an entry-level, low-skill position?
2. Response to:
Ashley Holmes
There are several ways an employer can avoid hiring the wrong person. Keep in mind hiring the wrong person could be a dangerous situation if you’re not careful when making a good decision when hiring the candidate. Some ways would be to do a thorough back ground check on the potential employees prior to bringing them on with the team.
Another way would be to create a job score card which defines everything you’re looking for within the candidate. You’re basically creating a blueprint of what you’re looking for which will allow you to find a person who will succeed in the role you’re hiring for.
Also, job proposition is very important which can be time consuming because you are proposing something to perspective job candidates which is written in a way to attract candidates that you’re looking for and will possibly push away all if the people that are not fit for the position. Inviting the wrong people into your interview process will cause mis hires. Some factors to consider in making a hiring decision would be to think about the department’s needs and the candidates’ skills and experience. Think about what’s needed for the company, what are the positions needs right away 6 months from now and long term.

Brittnee Calkins
I don’t believe that there is a definitive method of ensuring that a new hire employee is not the “wrong person”. Sometimes an applicant may get overlooked for applicants with more experience; only for the more experienced employee to resign or be terminated within the first year. For example, I tried for 2-3 years to get a job with a specific employer and was turned down repeatedly until I was eventually hired. I ended up staying with the company for 3 years until I was pregnant and had to resign for medical reasons.
While a thorough background check can cause a liability to the employer if they hire someone with a criminal background, I still believe that it is important to check all applicants’ backgrounds during the selection process. I believe circumstances, age at the time of the crime, and charges should be taken into account when hiring someone with a criminal background. While I wouldn’t hire someone who was convicted of credit fraud to work in a bank, they could be hired as a grocery stocker. In the same respect, I wouldn’t flat out deny an applicant just because they were convicted of assault while still a teenager; I would consider the information found in the public record along with allowing them a chance to explain their criminal background check results should they be selected for an interview.
