Description THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ASSIGNMENTS Here's the text: Johnson, C. E., & Hackman, M. Z.. (2018). Leadership: A communication perspective. Waveland. Abbreviated J&H in syllabus Thurman, H. (1979). With head and heart: The autobiography of Howard Thurman. Harcourt Brace & Company. Leadership Interview Analysis (150 points) Identify someone you know who is in a leadership position (a managerial position will work fine for our purposes). This person could be an academic administrator, a pastor, a supervisor, a coach, or anyone who is in what you could frame as a leadership role in the marketplace/business or non-profit/not-for-profit, community, public service, armed services, or government context. Select at least six chapters from the Johnson and Hackman book and use concepts/ideas/themes from those chapters to inform your questions. Based on what this person tells you, write about this person as a leader using terms from the chapter to inform your work. (Think of how we've been examining the leadership of Howard Thurman throughout the semester as a general guide.) You are also welcome to incorporate material from the Thurman book as may be appropriate. Expected length: Three to seven double spaced pages; grades will correspond to length and quality of content (see criteria for discussion posts). Leadership Portfolio (200 points) You will be completing various self-assessment materials in the main text (J&H). Study those analyses to gain insight about yourself as a leader. Refer to those self-analysis results as specifically as you can to assess yourself as a leader, highlighting key principles from the chapter that are relevant. Include in this analysis any leadership experiences that you have had thus far in your life, reflecting on your experiences through the lens of the chapter materials and your self-assessment. Expected length: Five to 10 double spaced pages; grades will correspond to length and content (see criteria for discussion posts)

Description The video you will view (see below) is an opening scene from the movie "Jerry Maguire." In this scene, the character played by Tom Cruise is having doubts about the ethical issues in the sports representation business. In an impulsive moment, he decides to write a new mission statement for his company. In this document, Jerry Maguire argues that the priority of the company should be more on relationships with the athletes they represent, and less concern for the money and financial gains. When he enters the office the next day, his reception from fellow employees is applause, but he is soon fired by his supervisor for writing and distributing the new mission statement. How could he have used power and conflict resolution differently? In the attempt to exercise leadership, did he seem to experience strong feelings of vulnerability? Assignment: WRITE A CASE ANALYSIS IN WHICH YOU RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. How did his attempt at leadership and creating the new mission statement create conflict with his supervisor? How was the "focus on people, less on money" priority not compatible with the values of the company and most of the sports representative who worked there? Discuss the following statement. Visions, missions, and strategies must align with the leadership and culture of an organization. If you were in Jerry Maguire's position, how would you have attempted to create the changes he desired? How would you have managed the potential conflicts that could result from a new mission in the company? What is the analysis of power in this example?
Description This is an essay for my Communications class. It must be 6-7 pages in length (no more and no less) double spaced. This essay will be based on a film. I have attached a document with all the instructions. You will see that there are a few prompts to choose from pertaining to different films. Please make sure to pick one of the prompts and answer it carefully and with detail. Please make sure to make specific references to the film as well. Please let me know if you have any questions and let me know which prompt you decide to choose.
Description For maximum points you will need to write a short summary of the article, a short summary of the related chapter in the textbook, and you own analysis of how the article relates to the concepts learned in the book. I suggest using a standard 3-5 paragraph structure: Opening paragraph, body paragraph(s) discussing the news article and the book chapter and a closing paragraph. Current event grading rubric: 1 point for choosing a current and relevant article, 1 point for your article summary, 1 point for your chapter summary, 2 points for your analysis of how the chapter relates to the article. A current event is a news story that has been published, in print or online, that has a theme related to politics. Your current event is meant to be practice for your exam essay writing, therefore, be organized and use the news story and the chapter material to analyze your thoughts. It will be important to follow the grading rubric below. You may use ANY news source for your current event, but you MUST copy and paste the link at the bottom of your response so that I can read it to confirm facts. this is the link for the book-https://openstax.org/books/american-government-3e/...
Description PART ONE What technology and/or SNS do you use the most? What is the primary reason you use it? Cite your refrences PART TWO Post your concluding thoughts on the class's use of SNS and technology.
Description Part I. Read chapter three and four in United States of Distraction, and describe how misinformation, disinformation, or fake news is used in political campaigns? Use recent examples that you have seen on television or in other forms of media to discredit candidates. What’s missing? What other news on the world stage was happening that day and did it receive as much attention? Part II. Who benefits and who loses from “eroding confidence in journalism and news (Higdon and Huff, 2019, p. 113). Where would you go to find a credible source to substantiate the information (AP Newswire, BBC, The Guardian, Poynter Institute, the Annenberg Foundation, or World Health Organization, etc.) Would the remedies that Sinan Aral suggests at the end of his video How We Can Protect Truth in the Age of Misinformation work? One to two pages with in-text citations and references required. Suggest watching videos Another option: During the recent election, we have had family members or friends perhaps fall into the conspiracy-theory black hole. If that was the case, how would you change the dynamic given what you know now about having conversations that matter. Watch How to Talk Your Uncle Out of QAnon and another recommended video in our weekly lesson. What approach would you take or maybe did take? Perhaps you would find another resource source that deals with cult behaviors and how to rectify political indoctrination. You can add other resources. One-two pages with in-text citations and references required.
Description This Discussion Post #4 and classmate response is due Monday, April 29th by 11:59pm. GENDER: According to Chapter 11's discussion on gender, women and men have very different cultural expectations when it comes to nonverbal communication. Some of these expectations are manifested as follows: women may have to meet higher attractiveness standards to be seen as competent or credible compared to men; as Amy Cuddy indicates in her TedTalk, her women students tend to be the ones shrinking in on themselves while the men students tend to spread out and take up more space, so too in the business world at large; as we've established in our discussions on facial behavior, there's more of a smile imperative for women than for men; and finally, women's self-concept seems to promote the sharing of only positive feelings publicly. Students in previous classes have contended that this dichotomy is overblown. Things have changed! As posited in the Chapter 11 ppt, though it seems the divide between men's and women's behavior expectations has narrowed, I think societal bias still exists for women to play the "supportive" role and men to play the " assertive" role. QUESTION #1: Consider the nonverbal expectations placed on you growing up; were you expected to be "supportive" or "assertive" because you were born male or female? What were these NONVERBAL expectations placed on you? How did these expectations change as you got older, how not? What are the burdens for both women and men living under such expectations? WORKPLACE: Gender influences also follow us into the workplace. Your book points out that though we like to think we are all equal, we actually know that that's not the case. Just think about who has more legitimate/reward power in a supervisor-subordinate relationship. Because "the dominant or higher status person can control the nonverbal codes to assure they remain the more powerful…communication between supervisor and subordinate will be influenced in a negative way" (pp. 248-249). The greater the status differential between supervisor and subordinate, the less effective the communication. Therefore, reducing the status differential can have positive effects. One way to do this is to increase liking and trust between supervisors and subordinates through the use of nonverbal immediacy. (I told you the idea of "immediacy" cues would return in our discussion). Your text mentions as subordinates, we want supervisors who are: sensitive, warm, accepting, responsive, and "immediate." Remember immediacy means being present in the relationship—"the degree of perceived physical or psychological closeness between two people" (p. 263). QUESTION #2: In light of the behaviors subordinates want to see from their supervisors, how might these expectations be met NONVERBALLY by a supervisor? (i.e. what could they do to appear more sensitive, warm, etc.). How might gender impact nonverbal choices by the supervisor? What nonverbal behaviors might be seen as taboo or lead to problems if misinterpreted?
