Preface:
The long run average cost curve displays that the cost per unit
for a firm moves in a U shaped curve with costs per unit starting
at a higher point with lower output and gradually moving
downward as output increases, giving the firm economies of
scale as it moves down the curve, with cost per unit slowly
rising after output rises past the constant average cost portion of
the curve, giving the firm diseconomies of scale due to the fact
that as output increases new machinery, managers, and workers
need to be employed to handle the increase in size of the firm,
which adds layers of bureaucracy and complexity that makes the
firm less efficient.
Economic logic would dictate as firms experience diseconomies
of scale they would lose market share and be forced to downsize
or go out of business from nimbler and more efficient firms
with lower prices. You can see this happen in a wide variety of
examples, case in point, General Motors, which lost market
share to its much more efficient Japanese counterpart Toyota.
But strangely, the big banks in the United States, one could
argue that they are so large and are currently experiencing
diseconomies of scale--as evidenced by their failure to properly
see that there practices during the housing bubble would lead to
their demise. In fact, one could argue that because the big
banks are even larger now due to consolidation during the
financial crisis, that they are even less efficient than before.
Presented is a graph to help you visualize the long run average
cost curve, which is also in chapter 7 of the textbook.
Assignment:
Write at least three paragraphs about why you think that the
diseconomies of scale present in the large banks has not lead to

smaller and more nimbler banks to gain market share and force
the banks to divest and become smaller. The paper should be a
minimum half a page with single spacing. Remember there are
multiple right answers.
Hint: Look into lobbying efforts by the banks (rent-seeking),
lower interest rates when big banks borrow versus community
banks, government support, etc.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility is a business approach through
which companies embrace responsibilities over those groups
and individuals thy can affect for example stakeholders and the
general society. The stakeholders include the customers,
suppliers, community, employees, and shareholders. A
company’s responsibility in society cuts across many factors,
right from within its operations to whatever the company does
outside its doors. It is imperative to grow and maintain a culture
of responsibility for the society, as the same people in the
society are the ones who determine how well or poorly a
company performs. This paper will look at different aspects of
corporate social responsibility, conflicts, conflict resolution and
the effect of the above names aspects on stakeholders’
wellbeing.
Social responsibility can be earned through several ways as will
be discussed here. The first way is through creating jobs. When
a company establishes its operations in a specific locality, the
people around that area expect to benefit from the presence of
the company. The main way that the company can give back to
the people and make them appreciate its presence in their
locality is by offering jobs to the people living around, either
skilled, unskilled or semi-skilled. Another way would be
through producing goods that are valuable to their clients. This
is a very important aspect of social responsibility. Producing
goods that are up to standard earns the business a good
reputation for quality, encourages potential customers to join in
its consumer lot and makes the existing customers feel proud to
be associated with such as firm. The result in increased sales
and a good reputation. A third way in which a business can
demonstrate social responsibility is through complying with the
law. This compliance benefits the shareholders first by
maintaining a good reputation and second by saving the money
that could have been used for the settlement of court cases had

the company been non-compliant. Such conserved resources can
be used for expansion and other important activities.
Fourth, a company can demonstrate corporate social
responsibility by taking care of the environment around them
and participating in societal events. When a company takes care
of the environment by having proper waste disposal
management systems or even helping clean up the locality
around them, the society seems to accept the firm as one of their
own, making the success of the business almost certain within
that area. Also, the firm can participate in societal activities
such as campaigns against societal vices, campaigns for the
protection of societal values and natural resources, fundraisers
and games. This interaction wins the heart of the people who
might be willing to support the shareholder’s investment as a
local resource within the area. Such a policy of social
responsibility can improve the general reputation of the
company enabling it to become acceptable in the market and
maintain loyal customers hence increasing sales and
consequently growing, which will increase profit to
shareholders.
However, it is likely that during involvement in social roles, the
company might end up causing woes upon itself by entering into
a conflict of interest with the shareholders. Sometimes, the
company might be forced to go out of its way, its mission,
vision, and value, just so that it can blend in the society. Such a
situation might not only cause an increase in revenue but may
also lead to problems with shareholders. Another instance when
the company’s interest and that of the shareholders may conflict
would be when a company engages in an activity which would
require more funds than the shareholders are willing to risk.
This situation would lead to dissatisfaction among shareholders,
some of whom may end up selling heir share to avoid shame or
unprecedented failure, or lower the company’s appeal to new
shareholders. When it comes to this level, the corporate social
responsibility policy turns into a disaster which when not well
taken care of might cause the future collapse of the business.

In the course of work often even after working hours. Some
personal adventure taken by the individuals may be taken as
done o n behalf of the whole business. The perception of the
general public concerning the behaviors and may either
contribute to rising or falling in the reputation of a company. If
the behaviors are bad, they contribute to rising in reputation of
the company, while bad behavior contributes to falling in
reputation. As a result, it is very important for employees to
carry themselves in a manner that is not likely to affect the
business. Where some people are unable to carry themselves
responsibly, the company may be forced to come in to protect
itself while taking caution not to defame the employee. To do
this the company and the individual can negotiate with all
employees and shareholders to seek their opinion regarding the
issue and let them know their mistakes.
Monitoring the use of social media by individual employees
would negatively affect the employees. This is because their
freedom will have been infringed. Besides being employed, they
have a social life and therefore, their use of social media should
not be monitored by the employer. Different people have
different objectives and aims in goals, and with the increased
usage of technology in the twenty-first century, a limitation on
the use of social media as a tool to express themselves would be
considered unlawful. In the year 1990, mobile subscribers made
up a total of twelve and a half million users which was an
equivalent of 0.25% of the total world population while internet
users made up a total of two million and eight hundred thousand
users which was a total of 0.05% of the world population. In the
year 2010, mobile phone subscribers made up a total of four
billion which translates to sixty-eight per cent of the total world
population while internet users made up a total of one billion
and eight hundred thousand people which translates to 26.6% of
the total world population.
The data provided in the previous section shows that the world
is increasingly being converted into a small sphere where a
person from any corner of the world can have undeterred access

to another far corner of the world in an instant, thanks to the
many social media platforms availed in the market. Therefore,
when a company begins regulating the social media usage of its
employees, the workers may feel that the company is becoming
too much of a burden and may result in dubious ways of using
social media without being controlled. This methods could
include disguising themselves to avoid raising suspicion that
they own the social media platforms or lying both by giving
misleading information about themselves on social media and at
work. The employees may, therefore, retaliate by lowering their
productivity, feelings that the company they have devotedly
been working for is turning to be oppressive and manipulative.
Social workers unions may consider this as manipulation as the
company is placing its interest first before the interest of
everyone else and compelling its employees to follow its
regulations to safeguard its name, at the expense of the
employees happiness.
The decision to monitor social media usage might also affect
shareholders by limiting their ability to socialize and express
themselves. To resolve the stalemate, there should be a meeting
where the stakeholder can be invited to discuss to understand
why it is, or it is not ethical to restrict the personal use of media
platforms. Negotiations could be imperative as they will limit
the possibility of an eruption of misunderstandings and the
decision will be made according to everyone’s
recommendations. Resolving such ethical dilemmas can not be
left in the hands of just a few people. Therefore, all people
likely to be affected by the issue must be involved for legal and
ethical reasons. A company can set up a policy of inclusive
negotiations where in the case of a misunderstanding all
stakeholders are called upon to deliberate and suggest long-
lasting solutions. The system will promote openness and
satisfaction since the decisions reached by all will be aimed at
reconciling the affected people. A resolution strategy that is
even partially appealing to most of=r all the parties in a conflict
is likely to be successful in solving the impediment since one

party will be bound to the fact that it consented to the
agreement and had therefore not more than enough reason to
breach the agreement.
However, the process of inclusive negotiation has many
throwbacks that might result in its improper functioning. First,
the system may be time-consuming as negotiations may take a
long time to produce a solution. This aspect of time
consumption is brought about by the fact that a lot of people
have to be consulted before a decision is made concerning an
issue. Sometimes the logistics may not allow communication to
be made fast enough hence the methods would end up being a
very lengthy process. Also, the system might be inappropriate
for very pressing issues as the time it takes to resolve is a lot.
Hence, the company or other stakeholders risk losing a lot
before a decision is made. In such as case, a less complicated
and faster method of decision making would be imperative.
Inclusive negotiations might not also work when there exist
prejudice among the groups in conflict such as where the
company has already decided to something but is only asking
the stakeholders to look like negotiations were carried out.
Negotiations should be conducted by impartial parties, to
achieve its set intentions, as whenever it is carried out by one of
the interested parties, the decision reached may either be biased
or unacceptable.

#5 Do the organization's vision, mission and value statement
identify stakeholder collaboration and service? If so, do leaders
and employees "walk the talk" of these statements.
In organizations today the abilities to ensure that leaders and
employees walk the talk is getting harder because the other
thing they also want is results. example: Jason Deli mission
statement is " we are a caring family that does whatever it
takes to serve outstanding food warm friendly
environment". The Stakeholders, managers, leaders want to see
a 10% however not allowing an increase in the labor budget is
asking sale the ocean with no boat. Stakeholders have to
collaborate, on the means of getting every one board. Formal-
class room training, books, performance reviews Informal-
mentor coaching, on line Social - videos, creative Power points
.
The weakness from my many years is that in the struggle to
reach those goals which we hope is done ethically we sometimes

result to unethincal actions due to stress pressure, lack of
training, and employee by end you cant have a mission
statement like Jason Deli and pay your employees poor wages,
no benefits. You have to build the team and sometimes show
that you care and of course "walk the talk"you need to get the
buy in from everyone. That is way i think people leave and
create high turnover rates which of course cost the organization
more money to retrain.
#4 What percent of employee activities is spent in building
productive stakeholders relationships?
You have to ask how many companies really value their
employee, you never see the president, CEO you might see the
area manager if you exceed certain goals. One day hire someone
from the outside to fix or improve something that didn't need
fixing. There are companies like NIKE and Zappos and i am
sure others that encourage employee input and have think tanks,
suggestion boxes, incentive rewards or like NIKE they give
employees the opportunity to present thier ideas to decision
makers of the company.
It fails because sometime thier is not buy in to the vision, most
people don't like change. How can we create a productive
stakeholder relationship if their is no communication, no access
we all have a reason we come to work.

Describe an advertisement that was misleading and did not
provide complete and honest information about the product or
service. Your example can be from print, television, radio, or
the Internet. It can be local, national, or international.
There is situation that instantly came to mind surrounding

companies advertising incomplete and misleading information.
A few years ago a friend to recommended a shampoo to try by
WEN. The company is online based and I had been wanting to
check out Wen's conditioner (all-natural) for a while so I
decided to take advantage. However, I quickly learned that
when you agree to the reduced price, they also sign you up for a
recurring shipment. Additionally, the price is not actually
reduced at all; in fact it is only split up over 3 payments. As
soon as I saw the second charge on my credit card, I
immediately called (you need to call) to cancel my account.
However, they still said there was a pending charge for $89.95.
This was in addition to the amount of $44.95 that they had
already charged to my account. Nowhere on the site did they
talk about recurring shipments and charges.
Summarize how its deception could have been harmful.
This could have been harmful because they could have taken the
last of my money from my bank account. Perhaps I did not have
money in my account this would have cause an overdraft fee. If
I don’t have money in my bank account however WEN is
demanding funds I am liable to the bank and WEN Company.
This will compound issues in a person’s life.
Recommend an action that would deter this type of activity in
the future.
This is happening with more and more companies. Consumers
should ensure they read all of the fine print. Companies should
do a better job of advertising why you are getting this “special
pricing”. These misleading advertisements will make it harder
for consumer to trust online sites. It is a hassle because for
online shoppers because once the truth is discovered it is hard
dispute or to return the product. This type of action will gain a
bad reputation for the company.

Capella University
Title of your Paper
Note: The title of your paper replaces the word introduction
(Read below).
The text of the paper starts here. In place of the word
“Introduction”, APA requires that the writer insert the title of
the paper (Upper lower case, not bold.). Typically the writer
provides an introduction sharing something of interest to
capture the reader's attention and introduce the topic. Also, it
helps to include a specific statement of purpose For example,
the writer might state "This paper will address the pros and cons
of vertical marketing systems. Adding an introduction or
statement of purpose not only helps the reader know what to
expect, it forces the writer to focus and stay on task.

First Major Heading
(Note:Level 1 heading)
Depending on your topic and the length of paper, it might help
to use category headings like the one above. The main sections
of your paper will begin with Level One headings. They are to
be in BOLD upper and lower case letters and must be centered
on the page. All material in the paper is double-spaced.
Sub Heading (Level 2 heading)
A Level Two heading, like the one above, are also in BOLD
upper and lower case letters, but left justified to the left.
Consider them as sub headings under each of your main
headings.
Please note: The overuse of category headings can be very
annoying and distracting. The number of level one and level two
headings you use are based on how you set up your paper. For
example, you may have three level one headings and each
section may have multiple level two (subsections) headings.
Conclusion
(Note: Back to a Level 1 heading)
One way you can improve your work is to have a conclusion at
the end of a paper with the heading “Conclusion” above it
(Level One since it is a Major section.). Summarizing your key
points and arguments is a professional way to end a paper.
Each paper must include a separate references page (see the
page below) with references listed in alphabetical order, with
the heading "References" centered at the top. Only include
references for sources used in the body of your text. Use APA
style for your reference list and in-text citations.

COURSE PROJECT
Course Project Overview
The study of ethics becomes a purely academic exercise unless
one can apply what is learned to
professional life. This project will help you make this type of ap
plication.
To complete the project, you will:

Identify that an issue in a company has potential ethical ramific
ations that you would like to see
resolved by a corporate policy.
Demonstrate why the issue is relevant and needs to be addressed
.
Examine the issue from all sides and from the perspective of all
stakeholders.
Evaluate different ethical decision-making models covered in th
e course. You will be asked to choose one
model and apply it to the issue you identified.
Recommend a corporate policy that the company can implement
to addresses the chosen issue.
Ultimately, corporations are formed to make money. So, in your
course project, you will balance
the need to practice corporate social responsibility with the corp
oration's prime directive of
increasing profits. Specifically, your project will weigh the imp
act of not having a corporate
policy for the issue you have chosen against the cost of impleme
nting one.
At the culmination of the project, you will recommend a policy
that addresses the ethical issue
chosen and that can be implemented by a company. The policy n
eeds to be specific and address
all stakeholders, as well as include provisions for monitoring th
e effectiveness of the policy, for
dealing with employees who fail to comply, and for adapting the
policy if it needs changing in the
future. In recommending the policy, you will be expected to arg
ue for your policy with well-
reasoned analysis and specific examples. You are expected to sy
nthesize much of the work done
for the assignments in Units 2 and 7 into a cohesive proposal, su

pporting the need for your
policy.
Project Objectives
To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to:
1. Assess the degree of social responsibility in a corporate polic
y.
2. Develop a corporate policy for resolving ethical dilemmas.
3. Evaluate the parameters of ethical decision-making models as
they apply to the recommended policy.
4. Support recommendations with well-reasoned analysis and sp
ecific examples.
5. Recommend a strategy for communicating the policy to the or
ganization in a manner that meets the
needs of the audience.
6. Describe potential limitations of the policy and strategies for
monitoring and compliance.
7. Communicate your ideas in a style suitable to academic reade
rs.
Project Requirements
To achieve a successful project experience and outcome, you ar
e expected to meet the following
requirements.
Written communication: Written communication is free of error
s that detract from the overall
message.

Company Issue Identification
This is the first component of your
course project.
Identify an Ethical Issue
In the Unit 1 assignment, you were
asked to discuss your personal ethical
views. In this assignment, you should
consider what a company-wide ethical
dilemma looks like.
You will first need to identify a current
or potential ethical dilemma at a real company. This could be a
company where you are now
employed, your former employer, a friend's company, or another
company with which you are
familiar. The issue should also be something that needs to be ad
dressed with an organizational
policy inside the company. In other words, you believe that a po
licy change would be better than
other courses of action (such as disciplinary action toward an in
dividual employee, or external
action by the government or a nonprofit). You do not have to cr
eate a policy at this time, but be
prepared to explain why implementing a policy would be the rig
ht choice. Note: The issue you
select for this assignment will be used in the Unit 7 assignment
and your final project in Unit 10.
For example, a company may choose to videotape the office and
read employee e-mails. The

evaluate various polices and propose a
policy that the company can implement
to addresses the chosen issue.
In your paper:
Describe an ethical dilemma and its importance and relevance.
Identify the various stakeholders and their positions.
Evaluate an ethical decision-making model, apply it to the chos
en issue, and analyze options for
resolving this ethical dilemma.
Recommend a corporate policy for resolving the issue and supp
ort the recommendation with well-

Ethical issue identification
Unit 2 Assignment 1
Pamilton, Saundra
4/25/2016
Unit 2 Essay
Ethical issue identification
Different issues affect companies and thus affect their
operations. These have to be identified and remedies put in
place for its performance not to be affected. The various ethical
issues affecting companies are conflicts of loyalty, issues of
honesty and integrity, whistle blowing bribes and conflicts of
interest. These affect the business environment. (Harman et al
2006)
When one enters a business world, they find themselves
involved in situations, which will call for behaviors appropriate.
One would have to differentiate a bribe from a gift. One would
encounter situations that deal with risk of conflict of interest.
Sometimes you will need to choose between loyalty to your
friend and family or your employer.
Question 1

Importance of resolving ethical issue
There are different advantages to resolving an ethical conflict.
Taking into consideration the issues and solving them improves
the performance of the company (Lo 2013). Ethical issues
include.
I. Having a conducive working environment
II. Working like a family with love and sharing among
employees and employers
III. Having a bribe-free company
IV. Having a conflict free company
V. Working in a personal interest free environment
VI. Having loyal employees
Question 2
Current ethical issue affecting companies is bribes. This is
because employers and employees cannot differentiate gifts
from bribes and cause of the high economic time people live in.
bribes is a good example of ethical issues today since bribes is
rampant. People are ready to offer bribes to retain position or
climb ladders.
Question 3
Financial ethics should be given an organizational policy
response. This is because this is a sensitive sector in the
organization and can affect its operations hence needed given
right measures. Arrangements with other companies must also
stop if any illegal to avoid unhealthy competition.
Question 4
Environmental ethics is one specific ethical dilemma that
corresponds with larger issues on a regional, national or global
level. This certainly comes because ecological morals are the
order in logic that studies the ethical relationship of individuals
to, furthermore the worth and good status of, the earth and its
non-human substance.
Conclusion
Ethics is an important aspect in the business environment as it
is a determinant on various aspects of the business. Ethical
differences such as cultural differences can lead to problems in

business addressed. Thus, it is always advisable to have
remedies and measures for ethical issues. Ethics affect decision
making in the business. Ethical decision-making affected by
different myths. These affect the businesses performance.
Remedies put in place to curb this before it gets far enough to
cripple the business.

What Is a Style and Format Guide?
A style guide or a format guide is a comprehensive list of
project-, organization-, or
company-specific formatting, spelling, and grammatical rules.
Some publishers, such
as the American Psychological Association, the Modern
Language Association, or the
University of Chicago, have complex, lengthy, and well-

respected style rules that have
become standard and readily recognizable, as in APA style,
MLA style, or Chicago
style.
Why Does Capella Use APA?
Capella uses the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (6th
edition). Using a single publication manual ensures a consistent
style across degrees,
programs, and schools. Because APA is used widely in
scholarly works and academic
publications, it is a good choice for the Capella community.
What Does It Mean To "Use APA"?
1. Basics of document production. APA is neither a usage
manual nor a writing
handbook. However, it does address spelling, hyphenation,
typeface and font
style, table and figure formatting, and other topics related to the
presentation
of the document.
2. Basics of citation. To "use APA" in coursework means, in
large part, using the
author-date system of citation in APA Chapter 6 and the
reference list rules in
Chapter 7.

3. Basics of ethical academic work. Academic honesty and
academic integrity
are ethical values. These terms mean, in part, that you have not
plagiarized in
any way. Objectively, the word plagiarism means any text in
one's own writing
that is uncredited or any improperly credited word-for-word
replication of work
by another author. Other aspects of ethical writing include
objectivity, lack of
bias, and disclosure.
Capella's Compliance Expectations
Undergraduate
In-text citations: Use of direct quotes. Focus on references and
use of in-text
citations.
Formatting: Refer to faculty expectations for formatting
guidelines.
Master's
In-text citations: Increased usage of paraphrase and summary,
less reliance on direct

quotes.
Formatting: Use of headings, correct title page and abstract
formatting.
Doctoral
In-text citations: Coursework expectations: leverage
paraphrases and summaries over
direct quotes when discussing literature.
Formatting: Dissertation writers must adhere to specific
formatting guidelines. Refer
to the Writing & Format Editing resources for detailed
information.
Building Familiarity With APA
Being familiar with APA means less about remembering the
actual rule and more
about knowing how to find the information you need in the
manual. To build a
foundation for being able to use APA for any writing
assignment, begin with your own
overview of the APA manual.
1. Foreword, pages xiii-xiv. The information in the foreword is
not technically
necessary for writing a reference or citation, but it is
informative and
interesting.

2. Contents, pages v-x. In getting to know any book, you'll find
that the table of
contents provides a glimpse into the work. The number that
appears before
each heading in APA's contents is a section number, which is
sometimes
referred to as the rule number. The table of contents includes
entries for
writing, mechanics, preparing tables and figures; it also
includes entries on
ethics for both research and presentation of that research.
3. Crediting Sources, page ix. In Chapter 6, the section headings
outline the
basic rules for citing a work in your text and for writing a
reference list entry.
https://campus.capella.edu/web/dissertation-research/writing-
and-format-editing
You will become quite familiar with Chapter 6 if APA is a
requirement.
4. Reference List section of Chapter 6, pages 180-181. The first
few paragraphs
in this section of Chapter 6 cover the need for an accurate and
complete
reference list (6.22), the need for consistency (6.23), and the
need to locate the

correct version of a work (6.24).
5. Reference Entry Examples in Chapter 7. Chapter 7 contains
general and
specific examples for the range of reference list entries writers
might use.
Remembering the Rules; Working the Manual
Once you have familiarized yourself with APA, there is no need
to memorize the
book. Rather, use whatever means you like to quickly find
answers to your formatting
questions. A few possibilities include:
Highlighting table of content entries.
Highlighting section or rule numbers in the body of the book.
Flagging frequently consulted sections with sticky notes.
Dog-earing or folding down relevant page corners.
Highlighting entries in the index.
Creating a personal style reference sheet.
If you have a specific formatting question that the APA manual
does not address:
Visit the APA style blog. The APA's own staff addresses
nuances of APA style
and formatting in a running series of searchable blog posts. You
may find your

question answered here.
Consult with your instructor or mentor.
Cross-check with your peers to see if they have had similar
questions.
Consult the Dissertation Format Guidelines.

(a)Find your voice:
Leadership position is a unique role image attained with
exceptional attributes. These attributes are the building block
for successful role model of a leader. One of these attribute is
building trust and trustworthiness. Followers accept this
authorship of the leader as a guide to conform and act in
accordance with those principles instructed by the leader to
impart correct guidance and knowledge. Thus, leaders are the
role models and therefore this statement is so true “If people do
not believe in the messenger, they won’t believe the message.
(ohacep.org, n.d.). Also the following statement is a perfect
explanation of a leadership role “Leaders Model the Way by
finding their voice and setting an example”(ohacep.org, n.d.).
Leaders must have defined goals and display transparency in
their proposed convictions and values. They must articulate
their voices and then vocalize the voices to give forth the power

and strength to convey the meaning of the moral values to be
followed.
(b)Teach others to model the way:
Leaders lead people and therefore must be a role model by
setting themselves as examples. They must believe in their own
values first by persistent deliverance, consistency, installation
of positive assertion, and teach the importance of these values.
Values include joint coalition, affiliation, and cooperation for
the mutual benefit. But to teach others a leader must
systematically interpret and apprehend with transparency his
followers to accept the reliability, truth and confidence of this
leadership. The oneness of intended goal or an aim and
apportioned values as one goal are taught through excellent and
effective leadership.
The following link from Smart team explains what Model the
way means for a team.

Clarifying value; find your voice
What this means to me, is that in order to be a good leader you
need to be able to speak with your own words based on your
own thoughts and feelings. Having your own voice isn't going
along with what someone else says. If you aren't able to do find
your own voice, you won’t be able to be an effective leader.
Until you find your voice, you won’t be a consistent and
effective leader.
Setting the example; teach others to model the way
What this means to me, is that everyone in an organization sets
an example. As a leader, you model the way for other
employees with what you say and your behavior. Leaders need
to hold employees accountable, because others watch what a

leader will do, and how they hold others accountable. Setting a
good example, and teaching others paves the way.
I have never been in a leadership role, but I have witnessed my
past clinic manager modeling the way. She was positive, and
lived up to the values of the company. She set a great example
to follow, and made you want to be a great team member. She
would step in and help staff if needed, and would help with any
situation. She also held people accountable for their behavior
and values. I looked up to her, and decided if I was to become a
leader, I would want to learn from her.

I think leaders are always observing, planning ahead and
making notes of their employees. The employees who show
strengths that are needed to help said company/department
succeed will be those employees who are given bigger projects,
who are promoted within the company who some day could
possibly run the company or move up in some fashion. I think
leaders should often be evaluating and planning ahead for their
certain department, there is always change when it comes to
employees, always new goals/projects that will need a leader to
guide them throughout the project. Having ideas building in the
back of current leaders will make this transition go much
smoother and easier. We have a committee in our facility who is
primarily about identifying problems, identifying possible
solutions and them implementing those changes company wide.
When this committee first came up department heads were asked
to submit names for possible committee members. Some
departments have well over 100 people and so that would be a
very daunting task, but great leaders always are evaluating and
watching their staff for an opportunity such as this to arise. I

hope as I expand my knowledge in the leadership role with my
company I myself will be able to grow in this area. There are a
lot of employees I feel I would be able to identify who has the
strengths to help in certain areas but being more confident in
my skills and reasoning is something I want to work on.
When leaders are building their teams and deciding who should
be apart of it, they are going to naturally choose members who
have the characteristics or what they want, have the strengths as
an individual that they are needing, also have a good work ethic
and be able to work with a wide range or people doing a variety
of different people. Leaders aren't going to choose employees
who call in all the time, who are constantly late for work, who
are constantly unhappy with what they're doing. Leaders want
team members who are positive, come to work and on time and
also people who are wanting to make changes in the company. I
think I definitely have this figured out when it comes to finding
out who to hang out around and talk with at work. There are so
many different types of people that at first is very
overwhelming and can take time to see which staff members
will help you grow and succeed in the company will be the
people who you want to spend more time with and ask questions
to.
I think leaders have a very hard and important job of being able
to identify their follower's needs, sometimes employees have a
hard time talking with their supervisors about needing help,
being overwhelmed or anything else that could damper their job
performance. I think a leader should be able to observe their
staff enough and recognize the body language a staff member is
putting off, the productivity of a staff member and being able to
notice when there is a difference and offering help will show a
lot about that leader. Staff want to be appreciated and I think
having a leader who knows their staff well enough that will be
able to offer support or ideas to help with the issue. I think this
is an area again that I need to work on, this area is challenging
because I do not oversee a set number of employees that I'm not
able to get to know them as in depth as if I were their

supervisor. I do oversee a portion of them being the HR
assistant and so I have slowly been trying to pay attention to
our staff's body language primarily and try and be kind and ask
them if they're Okay or if there was anything I could do to help
their day get better.

I would have to agree with all three statements. A leader is
someone who exhibits specific traits and of those traits learning
and growing is a main goal. If a leader is under the impression
they can learn and grow no further, it is sad to say they were
never a true leader to begin with. A true leader knows they can
learn and grow from every experience they face, big or small.
Investing in strengths implies just this, they are working to
show not only themselves but that of their followers and co
workers that continually working on themselves is the greatest
way to be a better leader. This is not to get confused with
working solely on themselves, however sharing their strengths
with others and learning how to strengthen their weaknesses
from others.
This goes in conjunction with that of a leader surrounding
themselves with the right people and maximizing their team.
There is no "right" leader or group of leaders; however there is
the ability to help others strengthen their leadership qualities or
even learn the first steps to becoming a good leader. It just
takes the right leader to work with specific people and having
several good leaders in a group can maximize the potential in
everyone of the group. This is not to say that a leader can not
have a bad day, maybe something tragic happened or

unexpected happened and they are not acting themselves. Those
who they surround themselves with may be keen and pick up on
these subtle changes or drastic differences and help them
resolve some internal issues through current projects. A good
leader is able to work with the most challenging of individuals
and learn from those circumstances for future situations.
Understanding their followers needs is again very important to
being a good leader. These needs could be broad and span to the
needs of the direct project being worked on, or individual needs
of each follower. Being a leader they need to be able to help
their followers to the conclusion of the final project not just tell
them to do X, Y, and Z. This will help the followers create an
environment to become leaders among themselves. By
overseeing the project they are able to both guide the project
and team to the final result without being directly responsible
for giving the "right" or "wrong" answers. A good leader would
be able to help pull a quite or shy worker out of their shell by
asking for their opinion on a topic, helping them to find their
voice in the group. They can also help those of the group who
try to do it all themselves share the work load the creating an
environment conducive to leadership in all respects of the group
instead of one individual taking the false pretenses of a leader.
