Action Equation, Conversation Platform, and People Channel Assignment help

/in /by

Part One: Action Equation

Develop an action equation for your organization (or the last
organization for which you worked). The action equation should address
overall leadership strategy or leadership strategy for a specific
project or goal. An example of an action equation is found in Table 6.1
in the textbook.

Include these criteria in this assignment:

  1. Use the material in the textbook from chapter 3 (“Do”), chapter 4
    (“Know”), chapter 5 (“Feel”), and chapter 6 (“Why Nots”) as a guideline.
  2. Focus on what employees or team members need to do.
  3. Expand on what employees or team members need to know.
  4. Culminate with what they need to feel to take the right actions.
  5. Include at least six items in the “Do” category, four items in the
    “Know” category, two items in the “Feel” category, and two “Why Nots.”

Part Two: Conversation Platform

Develop a conversation platform for your organization (or the last
organization for which you worked). The conversation platform should
combine the most pertinent elements of the action equation into a simple
five-piece message set. An example of a conversation platform is found
in Figure 7.2 in the textbook.

The conversation platform should include:

  1. A core message (the middle box in Figure 7.2), which is the essence
    of what leadership wants employees to do. This core message or “cause”
    should be no more than two sentences in length and create a motivational
    connection that will make employees want to take action.
  2. A set of four building blocks (the outer boxes) that support the
    core message. Each building block should contain an action that supports
    the core message (two sentences at the most).Each building block should
    also contain a list of four to eight proof points that relate words
    with actions. The proof points may describe specific actions or ideas
    that support the building blocks.

Part Three: People Channel

Using the People Channel Dynamic in Figure 2.1 in the textbook,
create a specific People Channel for your organization (or the last
organization for which you worked).

  1. Include specific individuals that align with these roles: senior leadership, managers, frontline supervisors, and employees.
  2. Identify at least one person at each level (ideally more) and
    include yourself. The levels in your organization may not be identical
    to those in the example.
  3. Describe what methods are typically used to communicate between
    these levels. These methods may include, but are not limited to:
    face-to-face conversations, meetings, conferences, newsletters, e-mails,
    text messages, intranet, net meetings, and corporate broadcasts.

Part Four: Final Paper

In a 500-750-word paper, answer these questions about the final assignment:

  1. Why do effective leaders need an action equation?
  2. What are the advantages of narrowing strategic messages into a conversation platform?
  3. Why is the People Channel critical to effective leadership communication?

Identify at least two key takeaways from this course and explain how you will apply them to your leadership.

Indeterminism

/in /by

The concept behind this exercise it that we compare the culture of the Middle Ages with that of the Renaissance. Make sure you scroll all the way down in the directions to read them fully. Well wishes on your discussion!

Part I

  1. Read the lesson and textbook content on the Renaissance.
  2. Compose a major discussion entry that responds to one of the questions or topics listed below.
  3. Focus on different details than those discussed by another classmate. To avoid duplicate observations read what your classmates wrote. Your initial posting should be at least 3-4 paragraphs in length.
  4. Allowable sources: Your answer must be supported by information gleaned from your two textbooks, and online eCore material in the course. You may also refer (in addition to the aforementioned material you find in the Fordham site: Internet History Source Book-Medieval sector and Renaissance sector: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/Sbook.html and Medieval Sourcebook: Renaissance
  5. Remember not to copy or focus on the exact same subjects as your peers. To avoid redundancy build on similar points made by others in the class and acknowledge their contributions in the peer responses. To avoid the possibility of plagiarism, remember to include proper citations as needed. No block quotes. Your work should be your independent consideration using the sources for assistance.  
  6. Cite all your sources throughout this exercise in the format approved by your instructor.

Part II-Questions and topics to consider.

  1. Was there a sharp line of division between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in any of these several areas: scholarship, learning, art, architecture, governance, the role of the church? If there was, what was that difference and describe it via very specific examples differing from those discussed by other students.
  2. Was the Renaissance a logical continuation of the Scholasticism of the medieval period?–if you think so, defend your argument with very specific examples from scholarly and artistic works that differ from what your classmates may consider.
  3. Explain through biographical comparison the different approaches to religion, governing, learning (scholarship), and art embraced in the medieval era and the Renaissance. To do so, discuss two specific historical personalities. An example might be to compare the views on religion of say Medieval Popes Gregory VII or Urban II with that of Renaissance figures Erasmus, Cesar Borgia of Italy or Henry VIII of England. Another example might be comparing the medieval anonymous approach to religious art with the celebrity culture of art that arose around such figures as Leonardo da Vince, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
  4. Based on your study of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Petrarch, and Machiavelli in this lesson consider their achievements in light of the perspectives of historians Burckhardt, Haskins, and Kristeller.

POST 1:

Stan has a lot of childhood memories that he was able to share with his therapist. The theme behind those memories was sadness and embarrassment. Stan displayed a common theme of feeling inferiority in this weeks session. One of Alderian’s techniques is having individuals recollect some of their earliest memories. I think that the value in this technique allows an individual to see how those past memories can be affecting them and their decision making today. Its interesting to be able to remember things from so long ago and be able to interpret based on things endured up to the point in life that a person is now. I think that inferiority does stem from early on. Stan felt like a failure when he was unable to rescue the kitten and it affected him presently. He always felt helpless in his marriage. In early childhood we make basic mistakes in interpretation that affect the rest of our lives. I think that his past experiences have affected the way he makes decisions in life at this point. Because Stan had a strained relationship with his family and siblings he is constantly feeling down. Stan feels that if he gets the degrees he can finally get some type of approval from his dad. I think that Stan is very critical of himself. He has allowed simple mistakes from childhood define who he is today and therefore I think he has limited himself based on the notion that no matter what he does he will never be good enough.

In terms of myself I have a lot of memories from growing up but they are mixed in terms of negative and positive. I have 2 very diverse families one stemming from my mother and the other my father. I think this balance kind of molded me into the person I am today. I have a family who is very strict, goal oriented, and well disciplined. I also have a family that is fun. They live life daily as if it’s their last. They do just enough to get by and don’t stress or worry over things they cant change. I used to spend summers with both families but I always picked the fun side last because I would feel behind in terms of knowledge but I knew I could count on the other side to change that mindset. As an adult, I am well disciplined but also carefree. I’ve been put in situations where I had to make decisions but had it not been for the varying degree of exposure to certain relatives, I would have been in a mess of trouble. My goals are becoming more of a reality because I channeled the negativity and decided I wanted more than I initially thought I could have. I was raised to believe that the sky is not the limit and possibilities are endless. I think that because of my diverse background and a lot of the challenges I have overcome I will be able to help my clients explore and face many obstacles that are ahead. I think the Alderian Concept is awesome. I believe that a lot of issues do stem from very early on and by having clients relive or just remember some of those things, it will give insight and understanding which will be most helpful in the rehabilitation process.

POST 2:

Question I.

Some of my earliest memories are being around my family, traveling and seeing a lot of arguing within my family. One specific early memory is being around my family and seeing them argue. The significance of this early recollection for me is that the trend still continues till today where we are all together but there always some type of argument around my family. It still exists in my life today. The value I see in recalling earliest memories is that you get a better understanding of the client, once interrupted and summarized, you learn the client’s faults, mistakes and provide better therapy for the client.

Question II.

Alderian’s theory applies to me because I also felt inferior in my early childhood stages. I used to get bullied in my house and in school as well. I used to have very low self-esteem because I thought I was not good enough to do anything or be anybody. I have dealt with it by watching videos on self-confidence, enlightenment and also read many self-help books that have really helped me in my present and should help me in my future. I do see a big struggle with basic inferiority and my accomplishments. Sometimes, there are some triggers that occur that take me back to some bad memories in my childhood, cause some hesitations in my accomplishments, but that is when I remember all the self-help knowledge that I have learned over the years and then feel much better and accomplish whatever I want.

Question III.

My goals are to succeed, work hard, live life to the fullest and provide service to others. This is the reason why I am majoring in rehabilitation counseling and case management. To help others succeed as well and live their lives happily. My past has influence my future because I want my future to be much much better than my past and filled with happiness. That is why I work hard to achieve my goals. I can apply this goal-oriented approach by setting goals to help my clients succeed in their lives, get back to their community, be independent and live happily.

Question IV.

It was very different growing up in my family. Relationships with my siblings are both bitter sweet. Some days we all get along perfectly and some days they are all arguing. Notice I said “they” are all arguing, because I have learned to just stay out of any small or big arguments within my family for a peace of mind. What I have learned about myself is that I am a very quiet person, I hate negativity and a lot of unnecessary energy wasting. What I learned about others is that people can be trusted once you get to know them, their routines and also that some people that are not that happy themselves, will try to bring you down along with them.

Question V.

Social interest holds a great value in my own life. To be a great therapist, you have to be social, meet people and understand their issues and provide the best help. In my own personal life, being social, meeting new people from different backgrounds has been a great experience for me and has taught me a lot about life and how to socialize. From my experience, I can definitely help my clients gain social interest by providing them information about my experiences. Letting them know that it is okay to meet people, if they are not comfortable being alone with a lot of people then they can meet them in a setting where they have family members present. Meeting new people would be great for clients depending on what type of disability they have.

Remember – respond to ONE!!! of the prompts below and include your own question for your classmates to respond to. Total word count:350

A) Public Enemy created the song Fight the Power at the behest of Spike Lee for the purpose of including it in Do the Right Thing. It is used not only to further the narrative – serving as a herald of sorts for Radio Raheem, blasting from his boom box, but also to enhance the mood of the film – such as when it plays from the ether in the opening dance sequence. Did the impact of the song “Fight the Power” differ in Do the Right Thing between scenes in which it was diegetic versus those in which it was nondiegetic? How do the differing uses of the music impact your viewing of the film?

B) Like mentioned in lecture Do the Right Thing utilizes the dutch angle several times throughout the film. How did this impact your viewing experience? Does it take you out of the film or make you more invested? Does it impact your emotions while viewing the film?

C) During a particularly notable scene in the film several characters talk directly into the camera while stating a series of racially charged insults and slurs. How does the fact that the characters are speaking directly into the camera impact the scene? What do you believe Spike Lee was attempting to convey to the audience through this scene? Could his message have been sent as (or more) effectively in a different manner?

Statistics Problem Solving

/in /by

During an orientation event at a large university, incoming students are advised about the cost of

textbooks for a typical study period. A sample of 100 students currently enrolled at this university

indicates a sample mean cost of $315.40. A population standard deviation is known to be $43.20.

(a) (8 marks) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean cost of textbooks.

Explain what the values you have calculated mean. Provide a diagram (a template is available on the

course website) to assist in your explanation.

(b) (3 marks) Does the population cost of textbooks have to be normally distributed here? Explain

briefly.

(c) (5 marks) Suppose that the campus newspaper previously claimed that the average cost of

textbooks was $300 per study period. If the campus newspaper’s claim were still true, what would be

the probability, in a sample of 100 students, of a mean cost of textbooks above $310?
