1.
Question :

John
Proctor once said, “Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my
life.” Reflect on this statement. If this was your mantra, what difference
would you see in how you approach work, relationships, commitment, fairness,
and ethics? Using specific material from the course and textbook, explain in
two-to-three paragraphs how adopting this mantra would influence your personal
strategy, image, and ethics.

Think
of the role you have played as a member of an organization. In one-to-two
paragraphs, analyze yourself and the role you played in that organization in

3. Question :

Explain
organizational excellence. Can it truly be achieved, and if so, how? Your

In a three-to-four paragraph essay, discuss what you observed and the impact
poor decision making has on employees. Examples should be original and not

Question 1. Question :

Research has shown that organizations are starting to realize that
regardless if an employee is a software designer or delivery truck driver,
accountant or hotel housekeeper, the most valuable aspects of jobs are now the
most essentially human tasks—sensing, judging, creating, and relationship
building. This means that when good people leave a company, they take their
value with them—more often than not, straight to the competition. In two
paragraphs, discuss how the above statement is related to commitment to the
organization. Be sure to address it from the employee and
employer/organizational viewpoints.

Relational leadership can be defined as accomplishing a goal or creating a
change via the people in the organization. The goal and/or change is seen as

talents of employees, (2) trust the process to bring good thinking to the
socially responsible changes that all agree are worthy goals, and (3) empower
employees. Your answer should be three paragraphs in length.
