Description 1. Donald is playing golf at Torrey Pines Golf Course. The sun has just set. Greeting him at the eighth hole is the Beer Cart, a mobile adult-beverage service, operated by Bluto. Donald buys a beer – his sixth that day. Mickey and his wife Minnie, tourists from Texas, are playing one hole ahead. Donald hits the ball without first making sure no golfers up ahead are in danger. The errant ball hits Mickey, knocking him unconscious. Minnie confronts Donald. He tells her to back off or he’ll push her down. Donald turns to walk away and Minnie pulls a handgun from her purse. She shoots Donald in the tail. Bluto sees everything. He tells the detective that Donald threatened to kill Minnie. Donald was charging towards her, wildly swinging a club, he lies. Minnie fired in self defense. Based on Bluto’s account, Donald is arrested at the hospital. Adding to Donald’s problems is a $200,000 medical bill. He needs money. Minnie, he learns, is a popular gamer, with 1,000,000 followers. Donald downloads a photo of Minnie, taken by Mickey, from her webpage and has it printed on t-shirts with “Minnie is a Menace” on the front. He has sold 50,000 shirts, making a $200,000 profit. Next, Donald calls Goofy, the golf course owner, with a proposal to take over the course Beer Cart service. Goofy declines, saying he’s only halfway through his two-year contract with Bluto. Donald says that he’ll split profits from sales 50/50, a much better rate then the 60/40 deal with Bluto. Goofy accepts. To prevent this sort of gun violence in the future, the California legislature passes a law that prohibits females from possessing guns on golf courses. The drafter of the bill claims that singling out women is necessary because “women carry purses, making it easier to conceal guns.” Lawsuits begin to fly. Answer the following questions based on this fact scenario. Let’s begin with Mickey’s lawsuit against Donald seeking compensation for the injuries he suffered from the errant golf ball. a.Mickey files a lawsuit against Donald in Texas state court when he arrives home. How should Donald respond? b.Let’s say Mickey decided not to file a lawsuit because he’s too busy. Instead, Bubba, his neighbor, files the lawsuit instead to “stick it to those crazy California fruitcakes.” What is Donald’s best response? c.In class/Canvas PowerPoint videos, we discussed legal challenges of two brothers from Aruba and their connection to the disappearance of a young woman. For what purpose was that discussed? 2.

Now we’ll move to Donald’s lawsuit against Minnie for shooting him in the tail: a.What legal issue will Donald most likely raise? b.List the elements (the rule) of this legal issue as detailed in the class lecture/PowerPoint videos. c.Let’s say Minnie raises as a defense that the sun was in her eyes so she couldn’t see whether Donald was running towards her or away from her. What would be Donald’s best response to this? 5.Now let’s move to Donald’s sale of the “Minnie is a Menace” t-shirts.” Included on those shirts is a photo of Minnie. a.What form of intellectual property can be used to protect those photos? b.Who has legal standing to file a possible infringement lawsuit? Explain. c.List the steps in the test used to show infringement, as shared in class lecture/PowerPoint videos? d.In the class lecture/PowerPoint videos we discussed a case concerning infringement of this form of intellectual property. It involved a child’s plush toy.

Description Overview This assignment is a continuation of the employee satisfaction survey  results and GROW model template assignment that you completed in Module  Two. Scenario The organization that you are a director of leadership and learning  for has been conducting engagement surveys among its employees every two  years to gain a deeper understanding of employees’ views on areas such  as customer service, the organization's overall strategy, job  satisfaction, rewards and recognition, and training and development. The  most recent survey was conducted this year, and the organization wants  to carry out another survey in two years. Prompt Your task is to continue using your GROW model template you began in Module Two to complete the final three sections: Identified Gaps—Obstacles Goal Revision A Way Forward—Action Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: In the Identified Gaps—Obstacles section, describe  obstacles that might prevent the focus areas you previously identified  moving from current state to future state. Consider the following in  your response:  Skill gaps, organizational culture, and resources among other things In the Goal Revision section, for each of the goals you created previously, describe whether they need to be revised:  For the goals that do need to be revised, provide a revision and explain your changes based on obstacles you identified above. For the goals that do not need to be revised, provide rationale for why this goal should remain the same. Support your response. In the A Way Forward—Action section, recommend an  actionable step that should be taken in order to close the gap between  current state and desired future state for each identified focus area  and related goal. Your response should include the following for each  actionable step:  An explanation on what the step will entail Identification of stakeholders who will need to be involved Justification for how this step will help close the gap between current state and desired future state

Description Scenario As a director of leadership and learning, you collaborate with many  different employees throughout the prosthetics manufacturing  organization you work for. You were recently contacted by Eduardo, who  was promoted from an individual contributor to a manager four months  ago. Eduardo is seeking your advice on developing his leadership style  after receiving his first quarterly review from his supervisor. The following are the key takeaways from your conversation with Eduardo: “I’ve been told that I am extremely intelligent and typically get  to solutions before others. However, this can lead me toward moving too  quickly to implementing a solution when the organization is two steps  behind. I was cautioned that this can create a disconnect with my team.  I’m told to focus on working alongside my team to better empower them.  However, I get frustrated with the lack of responsiveness from the  organization and my team. My supervisor says this can create insecurity  and frustration, with people feeling they cannot live up to my  expectations.” After your meeting with Eduardo, you follow up with his supervisor to gain additional insight. This was their feedback: “Eduardo does not leverage his team to create the desired vision.  Because he is intelligent and gets to answers faster than most, he  loses patience and decides to do all the work himself. By doing so, he  misses out on the input of others and fails to garner support for the  vision. When he becomes quickly entrenched in his position, he often  ignores valid input and alternative points of view.” “Eduardo thinks he knows best and hence may not always listen to  others. Nor does he inspire confidence in his team. As a result,  his?‘professional arrogance’ creates more of a dictatorial leadership  style, which in turn produces adversarial relationships internally  (Eduardo versus everyone). I am concerned that over time this outcome  will also spread to external partners. In the end, we will continue to  lose talent, which will eventually impact business performance.” Since the vice president of leadership and learning has asked you to  create an adaptive leadership toolkit, these conversations are extremely  valuable because they provide specific insight into areas of leadership  that can be improved across the organization. Some of the strategies  that you recommend for Eduardo’s situation can be used to help inform  the improvement of leadership skills throughout the prosthetics  manufacturing organization. Prompt Given the case as described, provide an analysis of Eduardo’s  situation as it currently exists and recommend steps he can take to help  transform his leadership style. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Define the following leadership skills?and explain why?Eduardo should focus on developing each of these: Strategic thinking Emotional intelligence Communication skills Describe two actionable steps Eduardo should take towards developing these leadership skills and explain how each step might help improve his situation. Explain how?Eduardo?can?utilize?the flywheel effect  to transform his leadership style and identify the tasks he should  perform to promote gradual improvement that provides tangible evidence  his strategy is yielding results. Support your response.

Description Overview For this milestone, due in Module Five, you will analyze HR  strategic initiatives of employee and labor relations that positively  impact organizational effectiveness. The three critical elements focus  on employee discipline, performance management, and employee and labor  relations. Scenario For this Milestone, consider the following scenario: Assume the role  of a human resources director at a U.S.-based call center that is  currently based in the Midwest. The organization plans to expand their  call center locations in the states of South Carolina and Tennessee and  the country of India and needs to hire 100 employees. Your organization  has been primarily hiring “local” talent, many of whom have been  relatives of current employees. The Midwest location is union free but  does not have well-defined policies to address employee issues.  Additionally, the organization’s approach to performance management is  very traditional and may not reflect the needs of today’s workforce. As the  human resources director, you will create a strategic HR plan that  addresses goals related to your organization’s growth. The plan should  have an influence across the organization to be successful.  Prompt Refer to the chapter readings and module resources to support your  responses to each of the three critical elements below. Carefully read  and address each critical element as written, using detailed and  informative analysis that conveys critical thinking. The three critical  elements are aligned to the organization technical competency within the  HR knowledge domain. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Employee Discipline: Compare punitive and  nonpunitive disciplinary approaches, and explain their impacts on  employee relations. Identify the steps in a fair employee discipline  process and explain the impact to positive employee relations in the  organization. Performance Management: Determine the elements of  an effective performance management system, and explain how well the  employer’s system meets organizational needs.
