Leadership Development Case

By Academic Wizard Blog

Leadership Development Case

Discussion 6.1

Discuss ways in which low power distance as a social value among followers could affect their interaction with a leader who displays high power distance.,

Discussion 6.1

Review chapter 10 and answer the following scenario:

“Our small electrical engines division recently threw out a screening system that was based on a fairly complete scoring model, as they called it. Seems the model kept rejecting too many of their product ideas, some of which looked like sure winners to them–and to me, incidentally. Under their new system, a top-management committee reviews these ideas personally, without all that paperwork, and it looks like things will be better. Do you have any reaction to that?”

Leadership Development Case

Discussion 6.2

Check out this website. Pick an article and discuss the value and their insights.

https://www.cashmanagement.org/cash-forecasting/

Assignment 6.1

Criteria Based on the NewProd Studies

Must-Meet Criteria (rated yes/no):

– Strategic alignment

– Existence of market need

– Likelihood of technical feasibility

– Product advantage

– Environmental health and safety policies

– Return versus risk

– Show stoppers (“killer” variables)

Should-Meet Criteria (rated on scales):

– Strategic (alignment and importance)

– Product advantage (unique benefits, meets customer needs, provides value for money)

– Market attractiveness (size, growth rate)

– Synergies (marketing, distribution, technical, manufacturing expertise)

Discussion 7.1

Review Chapter 13 and discuss the following scenario:

“Most of our divisions believe in customer integration — involving the user in the new product process. I am a fanatic on it. But some people want us to carry this right into the technical design phase. This would be dangerous. A lot of what we do must be secret–we can’t patent most of our ideas, and timing is every¬thing. That’s why we put so much emphasis on speed of development. But I still get pushed to do more. Help me. Tell me all the things we might do to get integrated customers but at the same time minimize the risks of losing our secrets.”

Strategic Company Direction

By Academic Wizard Blog

Strategic Company Direction

Our focus this week is on choosing a strategic direction that will set your organization apart from competitors in a way that enables you to stand out from everyone else. Jack refers to this as “changing the game.” Sherman refers to it as “breaking away from the pack” (Chapter 11).

Using the company you selected for your course project identify a potential game-changing move that you believe will create a sustainable competitive advantage. This move should derive from one of the seven common moves first introduced in last week’s lecture notes.,
This potential move should represent a possible new move the company should consider for creating even more competitive differentiation. In other words it should not be a specific move that the company has or is currently implementing.,
Briefly summarize how the move will fundamentally shift the playing field to the company’s advantage and beat the competition.,
Explain which of the four positioning categories described by Sherman (Breakaway Reverse Positioning Blue Ocean or Disruptive Innovation) best describes the move and why.

According to Parker (2023), “Mind maps are…excellent [tools] for planning workflows, visualizing task dependencies, brainstorming new processes—and feeling creative while doing it! These diagrams typically start with one main idea or with an end goal in mind to branch out, and your diagram naturally takes shape from there. They are highly visual, and the best ones are also flexible, customizable, and collaborative”

In section B, in addition to information from the textbook, you must also use information from at least two outside sources. The outside sources can be but need not be from academic sources. They must, however, be credible sources. Ideas & Concepts Analysis

Module 5 disc feedback:

This is your best assignment of the term thus far. You did an outstanding job in both describing the date and making connections between the events associated with the date and the work of the two theorists, Becker and Goffman. This demonstrates both an understanding of key elements in the work of the two theorists as well as critical thinking in applying their ideas to a specific social circumstance, in this case a date. Thank you for your work on this!

Your replies to your classmates for the Module 5 discussion were effective and incorporated and cited multiple pieces of information from the course material to support each of your responses. You earned the full 30 points for this part of the grading rubric for this module.

Public Perception & Mental Health Field

By Academic Wizard Blog

Public Perception & Mental Health Field

In this discussion, you will explore the concept of public perception and the impact it has on the mental health field. By reading the Forbes article, Researchers Doubt That Certain Mental Disorders Are Disorders at All, you can see that perceptions regarding mental health shift on a metaphoric pendulum over periods of time.

For your initial post, address the following:

The article notes that labels often define who we are and help us to determine what we are able to do. For argument’s sake, if the scientific community shifted from labels such as ADHD, anxiety, or PTSD to the definition of an individual’s response to the environment, how do you believe society would adapt to the change?
In some cases, a diagnosis can provide individuals with a sense of relief. It gives them the opportunity to address personal issues with a clear treatment plan.
- What are the benefits of having labels for mental health disorders?
- What are some detriments of having labels for mental health disorders?
How does the concept outlined in this article apply to any of the following programmatic themes? You may want to review the Programmatic Themes PDF document.
Public Perception & Mental Health Field
- Self-care
- Social justice
- Emotional intelligence
- Career connections
- Ethics

DISCUSSION 2

In Module Seven, you will investigate metrics for determining success in an innovative organization as well as critical factors that can help identify organizations that will be successful at innovating. Over the next two weeks, you will apply and discuss Göran Ekvall’s method for measuring the creative climate at an organization by examining ten climate dimensions he identified.

Public Perception & Mental Health Field

In Module Seven, review the creative climate document and then complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet (both the document and worksheet are located in the resources area of Module Seven), which assesses Ekvall’s ten dimensions of a creative climate for your current organization; alternatively, you can measure another organization by interviewing one of its employees.

Public Perception & Mental Health Field

Then, write about your thoughts and address the following in your initial post:

Were you surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall’s ten dimensions?, Are there any additional dimensions that you think should have been included?
Which dimension of creative climate was the hardest to evaluate?,
Share any insights or thoughts about the creative climate for the organization you evaluated., Discuss the one to two dimensions that received the highest and lowest scores.

In addition, upload the following file:

Your completed Ekvall’s dimensions of a creative climate assessment using the dimensions of creative climate worksheet
