This requires a collaborative leadership style which aims at bringing managers, executive, and employees together to achieve a common goal in an organization (Chrislip,2002). This leadership requires information to be shared with all people in an organization who are expected to take responsibility as a whole..

While some people agree with the opinions and the principles generated throughout the text, others perceive those principles as distasteful. The writing was written when Machiavelli was in the political scene as secretary of seigner during the republican reign, and it aims to help the rulers to extend the lifespan of their kingdom by giving the leadership traits necessary and the effective leadership principles.

Why Leadership Styles Require Adjustment in Different Prison Environments There are numerous policies and measures in law enforcement. In different departments, there is various documentation describing every possible scenario that offers are likely to face in the line of duty. The aim of implementing the different diligent guidelines is to minimize the exposure to liability which officers encounter every day (Lee, 2019). The possible liability that officers may have from correctional leaders may include legal liabilities, such as in the use of Neck Restraints. It is considered a valuable but controversial method for the use of force that is employed by the correctional personnel. The method is vital when correctional officers are near suspects or prisoners. While it can be very effective, it requires motor skills training, and attempts at such holds without proper training can turn an improperly applied hold into an air choke (Lee, 2019). This is especially the case when a subject attempt to resist the hold, such as by attempting to turn around, inadvertently putting pressure on their airway when none was intended. When improperly applied,…

This is a type of economic structure in which the central government controls all processes that impact the country’s economy, including deciding the type and quantity of products and services is produced. Shortly after he assumed power, Chavez sought to reinforce his grip over all institutions of government, creating a bureaucratic system (Grier & Maynard, 2016). Dominated by the new president’s loyalists, the national assembly made amendments to the constitution to increases his powers. Chavez was also able to gain control over all media houses in the country. According to a World Bank report in 2003, the state regulation of all commercial operations presented public officials with plenty of opportunities to make themselves rich with public resources. They demanded bribes and kickbacks to allow people to enter or expand businesses. Question 2 A unilateral change refers to any alteration rendered in contract terms without the agreement of other parties concerned. The control of the government extended to the international oil companies based in Venezuela. He accused them of taking advantage of a poor…

To conduct the study, the researcher employed a secondary research approach, where critical journal articles were reviewed, and conclusions and findings from these articles have…
LEADERSHIP As a student, there are actively learning practices that are appealing to me; they make a connection between where I am and where I want to be in the future. Some of the methods include first-year seminars and experiences, learning communities, undergraduate research, and internships. Learning communities gives a chance to meet and socialize with other people enabling a learner to understand the importance of group work. Internships expose the learner to scenarios that require the knowledge learned in class. I have been able to exercise leadership in various cases, one of them, including in my class discussion group. I was the group leader, and therefore it was my duty to organize the time and place we would meet. I also held various topics that would be discussed in those meetings. Whenever there was a problem, I had the task of approaching lectures for consultations. During my internship, I was made a leader of the manual laborers who worked in the company. I had the duties of recruiting them and supervising them. It was also my responsibility to…

The linkage between Strategic Thinking and Leadership Strategic Thinking and Leadership The effectiveness of leadership denotes the willingness of leaders to use their power and skills to achieve their objectives. Strategic thinking is essential to leadership performance. Most researchers see it as the ability to synthesize and use insight and intuition to provide an integrated view of an organization (Zorlu, 2018). Strategic thinkers are said to make smart decisions and give their organizations greater meaning. Strategic thinking is thus regarded as an essential competency for the efficiency of leadership. This paper offers a discussion to articulate the linkages between strategic thinking and leadership, as demonstrated in The Art of War, and The Goal books. System perspective, intelligent opportunism, thought in moments, guided and intent-focused hypotheses are all different variables of strategic thinking that influence leadership performance. In contrast, leadership effectiveness is measured with various variables, such as intercultural abilities, influence, dedication follow-up, flexibility, and group management (Zorlu, 2018). In the art of war, Sun Tzu suggests taking the enemy’s territory whole and untouched; it is not successful in pounding and…

If there is one, I want to understand how it helps the organization maximize its profit. Besides, I would want to know how I…
