Chapter 2

Trait Approach

The trait approach has its roots in leadership theory that suggested that certain people were born with special traits that made them great leaders. Because it was believed that leaders and non-leaders could be differentiated by a universal set of traits, throughout the 20th century researchers were challenged to identify the definitive traits of leaders.

In the mid-20th century, several major studies questioned the basic premise that a unique set of traits defined leadership. As a result, attention shifted to incorporating the impact of situations and of followers on leadership. Researchers began to study the interactions that occur between leaders and their context instead of focusing only on leaders’ traits. More recently, there are signs that trait research has come full circle, because there is a renewed interest in focusing directly on the critical traits of leaders.

From the multitude of studies that have been conducted through the years of individuals’ personal characteristics, it is clear that many traits contribute to leadership. Some of the important traits that are consistently identified in many of these studies are intelligence, self-confidence, determination, integrity and sociability. These traits, more than many of the others, are characteristic of the people we call leaders.

On a practical level, the trait approach is concerned with which traits leaders exhibit and who has these traits. Organizations employ personality assessment instruments to identify how individuals will fit within their organizations. The trait approach is also used for personal awareness and development, as it allows managers to analyze their strengths and weaknesses and to gain a clearer understanding of how they should try to change to enhance their leadership.

There are several advantages to viewing leadership from the trait approach:

  1. It is intuitively appealing because it fits clearly into the popular idea that leaders are special people who are out front, leading the way in society.

  2. There is a great deal of research that validates the basis of this perspective.

  3. By focusing exclusively on the leader, the trait approach provides an in-depth understanding of the leader component in the leadership process.

  4. It has provided some benchmarks against which individuals can evaluate their own personal leadership attributes.

On the negative side:

  1. The trait approach has failed to delimit a definitive list of leadership traits.

  2. In analyzing the traits of leaders, the approach has failed to take into account the impact of situations.

  3. The approach has resulted in subjective lists of the most important leadership traits, which are not necessarily grounded in strong, reliable research.

  4. The trait approach has not adequately linked the traits of leaders with other outcomes such as group and team performance.

  5. This approach is not particularly useful for training and development of leadership because individuals’ personal attributes are relatively stable and fixed, and therefore their traits are not amenable to change.

Ethics Around the Globe: Project for Business and Accounting students – PART 3

/in /by

Ethics Around the Globe: Project for Business and Accounting students

You are the controller at a medium sized sports apparel company. Your sales manager has just signed a contract with the US Olympic committee to produce warm weather clothing for the downhill ski team. This contract would increase your revenues by 20% for next year as well as create exposure for your name and brand. In short, you think it would bring in future business. Your business model focuses on American Made products as well as quality.

As you investigate the sales manager’s proposal to the Olympic committee you find that the mark-up on the products is just 10% of total costs. This concerns you because on average, your mark-up percent is 40% of total costs. This means if anything unexpected happens with production, this contract could quickly go from being profitable to losing money for the company.

As you gather a team to discuss the risks and opportunities associated with this project, the sales manager is strongly pushing to accept the contract and to “let production deal with the risks”. The Vice President (VP) of Production states that if the cutting and sewing were outsourced to an emerging market producer, the labor costs could be reduced and the risk of the project losing money would be greatly reduced. He reasoned that the materials are still American made; just the assembly is done in another country. The VP of Production has a country in mind. The wages paid in this foreign country are one fifth those paid in the US and there are no benefits attached to those wages. This country does not impose any tariffs so shipping and importing costs would be very low. The VP’s knowledge is coming from his brother-in-law who works in this country. He could take care of any government fees, setting up the factory and finding workers. The VP has never seen the workers who would be hired or the working conditions in the factory.

Part 3:

In this last part of the project, imagine yourself as the CEO of this company. Consider the four ethical perspectives you addressed so far for this project. Choose the ethical perspective you believe is best. Using this as a foundation, explain in detail what the company will do in this matter and why. Describe the benefits and draw backs of your decision. How would you explain this decision to shareholders and employees?

Your response should be 2-4 pages in APA format with in text citations and references.

Question : What does the nonbranching proposal say about split-brain patients? Are there two people.

/in /by

Question : What does the nonbranching proposal say about split-brain patients? Are there two people present in the one body? If so, is either identical with the person who occupied the body before the operation? (complete after reading 4.3)

You need to write at least 300 words discussion article.

BELOW THAT YOU NEED TO ANSWER THIS PERSONS ARTICLE WITH 100 WORDS.

 WRITE ANSWER : According to the non-branching theory, identical persons are those who are psychologically continuous with one another and whose causal connection has not branched. Personal identity cannot consist in psychological or physical continuity because identity is a relation that can hold only between a thing and itself. There is an argument that says that the patient has two streams of consciousness. Each hemisphere competing with the other when it comes to attending to an object. Within a normal person, competing streams of consciousness is nothing unusual, but the difference seems to be that the Split-Brain patient cannot coordinate the two competing streams into a fused state. The right brain is effectively uncontrolled by human being after the split and will be ready for takeover by another human that does not really belong to. If that happens, there will be a second personality, and conflicts. 
If another being does not take over the right brain, it will drift along for the ride, more or less manageable according to the training it gets. The whole thing about left-brain is logic and right brain is creativity is plausible. The hemispheres are important for certain tasks, but overall, the whole left-brain-right-brain thing is overgeneralized and exaggerated. Our brains are far more complex than that. One person cannot have two separate streams of consciousness, for each stream of consciousness, there must be a separate person. A split-brain patient, is more than one person. If you repaired the patient’s corpus callosum, you would not be destroying a person, in severing the patient’s corpus callosum, you would not be creating a new person. The split-brain patient, before having their corpus callosum severed and after having it repaired is more than one person.

NO PLAGIARISM. IT IS NOT A ARTICLE OR ESSAY. IT IS DISCUSSION PARAGRAPH.

ANSWER SHOULD MATCH WITH BOOK “Doing Philosophy: An Introduction Through Thought Experiments / Edition 5”

There are many stimuli in your environment of which you are not aware. You use attention to filter out unimportant stimuli and focus on relevant stimuli. However, there are circumstances under which you cannot perceive stimuli, regardless of how hard you “pay attention.” One situation is when visual stimuli are presented in quick succession. If the interval between the two stimuli is short enough, you do not perceive the second stimulus. This lapse in attention is known as attentional blink. In this assignment, you will experience the attentional blink for yourself and will also read about practical implications of the phenomenon.

Access the CogLab demonstrationAttentional Blink. Follow the instructions to complete the demonstration.
