Practicing Leadership Principles and Applications by Arthur Shriberg and David Shriberg Chapter 1 – Introducing leadership and beginning to form your personal leadership model Leadership is about guiding and transforming the lives of others. This entails nurturing your skills so that you can lead others. Leading is all about influencing, motivating and inspiring others to achieve certain goals. A leader must have the ability to influence others to follow a particular direction. This is followed by motivating them towards a particular vision so that they can achieve their objectives. The second concept is the importance of transformational leadership. Through transformation, a leader creates a change in the mind of followers. He gives them a new vision and inspires them to follow it until they achieve success. The third concept is the attributes of a good leader. For a personal leadership model to be effective, integrity, hard work, discipline and motivation must be exhibited. I would use the above concepts since they are the basic foundation of good leadership. I would succeed in leadership if I practised integrity and hard work.…
Theories within Criminal Justice Essential Theories for Success Supervision Theories required for successful supervisory practices can be grouped into three categories: Behavioral Theories Trait Theories Contingency Theories Behavioral Theory The behavioral approach is applicable where the supervisor emphasizes on initiating a structure, and the objectives are attained by structuring the subordinate’s role (Yukl, 2011). Therefore, the activities are carefully communicated and planned. The deadlines are established, and providing the instructions dominates the interpersonal relationship between senior and junior officers. The tasks are scheduled, and rules are adhered to ensure adequate performance (Colber et al., 2012). Contingency Theory The contingency theory is applicable where the first-line supervisor finds the working environment to be tense and lower interpersonal relationships. The supervisor should establish and implement a relationship-oriented leadership style. Close supervision activities should be eliminated, and subordinates should be involved in the decision-making process. Therefore, the supervisor should do whatever it takes to create a viable and relaxed working environment (Nohria & Khurana, 2010). Trait Theory Trait theory helps in distinguishing characteristics or qualities of an individual when operating as an…
Peacemaking theory Discuss Peacemaking theory and explain how it could be applied in America by describing a specific (practical) policy or practice. Peace-making theory state that use of force creates violence. Therefore, the advocates of this theory state that policies on criminal justice contain state-sanctioned violence. This brings more criminal violence than it is supposed to cure. These criminal laws are there to benefit individuals and not to suppress criminal violence. The federal State government should ensure that the criminal acts are there to rehabilitate the lawbreakers to become useful citizens. How might the Feminist perspective respond to the U.S.’s focus on street gang violence? Feminists view women to be different from men, both from social, economic, and political perspectives. Feminists in America have been engaging non-feminists in unending theory wars to ensure that their culture and politics considered. Therefore, if women’s treatment equals that of men, then the harassment and the rights equalized to men and women, then the movements against feminism will reduce in the streets to have more peaceful streets. According to Sutherland, how does Differential Association…

The Value of Human Life – Second Consideration What do you consider to be the most interesting of Wollstonecraft’s criticisms of how relationships between men and women operated in her day? Are her ideas still relevant today? In her writing on “Vindication of the Rights of Women,” Wollstonecraft has managed to highlight various issues that directly affected the relationships between men and women. Wollstonecraft threw the gauntlet to both the women of her day as well as the male readers, invoking the radical British and French political discourse that surrounded the earlier days of the French revolution in 1972. Wollstonecraft called for the revolution in female manners, and in her book, she proposed a model that is today known as liberal or equality feminism (Monroe & Julie. 146). Basing her argument on the assertion of universal human rights that was endorsed by enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, as well as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an allegation that underpinned both the French revolution in 1789 and the American Revolution in 1776, Wollstonecraft believed that females usually have the most critical aspects…
Let the Great World Spin: Critical Literary Analysis The tightrope walker‘s spattering image of walking on a high-wire is symbolic of the human capacity to discover prettiness in everyday things since the Twin Towers are ordinary structures. The novel, Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann is narratives about the concept of “walking the tightrope,” that is, balancing between two critical life situations such as life and death, love and grief, despair, and hope. The novel is based in New York City,1974, probably on the same day the great high-wire artist Philippe Petit walked on a tightrope in between the World Trade Center towers. McCann combines lives and losses stories of somewhat unrelated characters. In the novel Let the Great World Spin, McCann exploits the anonymous tightrope walker as an approach of investigating balancing between two critical life situations such as life and death, love and grief, despair, and hope. We can see a similar high-wire act in one of the protagonists, Corrigan, as he attempts to balance between remaining a man of God and succumbing to his desire…
The Role of Gender in “To the Lighthouse” Gender role is one of the most dominant themes in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. In the novel, Woolf writes about the experiences of Mr. Ramsay, Mrs. Ramsay, their eight children, and their guests during a vacation to the family’s summer home located in the Hebrides, Skye (Woolf, 2008). She divides the novel into three primary sections, including The Window, Time Passes, and The Lighthouse. The theme of gender role and relations remains eminent throughout the play as each character develops a distinct standpoint on the theme. For instance, while the novel portrays Mrs. Ramsay as a conventionally ideal woman submissive to her husband and a loving mother to her children, Lily Briscoe, one of the guests, is an independent woman who exhibits less sympathy for men (Woolf, 2008). The novel paints a clear picture of women as submissive beings whose primary duty is to maintain tenderness and massage the male ego. Male and female genders behave quite differently in an effort to establish a relationship. The concepts of masculinity and femininity are at…
The Buddhist Culture The Indian sculpture was carved in the early 3rd century when Ashoka adopted Buddhism. (“Indian Sculpture | Asian Arts”). He had set out on a mission to spread the faith as far as possible. With him were several monuments shaped like a dome. These monuments contained teachings of Buddhism. The famous pillar of Ashoka in Sarnath was a hieratic art representing the empire of Mauryan. One of the most elegant surviving sculptures of the Mauryn Empire is the great Stupa at Sanchi. The carvings had the representation of a great religious leader’s lifestyle. They were mostly erected in monasteries and the entrances to significant empires gates. However, nowadays, the sculpture has made an iconic representation of religion in India. These carvings are made from stones depicting the incarnations of Buddha. Although Buddha did not recommend idol worship, his image has been made a symbol of divination. The image of Buddha represents a meditative and serene atmosphere for self-reflection and connection with divinity. This paper focuses on Hinduism art and reveals its implications to the modern art of…

Satpathy and Mohapatra (2012) on communication Communication is a fundamental skill in healthcare settings that, if performed, competently and efficiently creates an environment of trust between the patient and the healthcare team. Although difficult to master, communication and interpersonal skills for nurses are essential. Communication can be defined as the exchange of information between an individual or a group of people sending and receiving it through writing, speaking, or by using other mediums. Nurses exchange information with people with varying social, cultural, and educational backgrounds. When communicating with patients and their families, it must be clear, valid, professional, and caring because it has a significant influence on patient outcomes. According to Satpathy and Mohapatra (2012), communication is not just about words but involves sharing meaning, emotions, feelings, and attitudes. For instance, there are instances when a patient may be unable to speak or advocate for themselves and, therefore, need a nurse to speak for them. In nurses’ professional roles, they are regularly exposed to other human beings who may not share the same cultural background. In such situations, interpersonal communication…
