Question #1

Being a new manager requires a lot of new decision making. You need to be ready to make break threw changes that you think will be beneficial to your work place.

In a situation like Harriet Bowen, many decisions and actions will need to take place to make the YWCA an appealing place.

"I'm looking for a job with a challenge" Bowen said, well she has come to the right place. Bowen will need to win over the employees, so they can work together as a team. Make work as comforting and social as possible get to know your workers, even as job director she should get to know the employees from a social stand point. The employees will be able to offer her ideas what will work. Most of the employees probably live in the area and know what it will take to interest people in coming to the club. Sit down and think of an idea to help people to join give a free day or passes for employees to hand out to friends and family. Have an open house and let guest see how the club works and the benefits it offers. These could all be ways to help boost members and make a better profit.

Next sit down and review the existing programs that the YWCA has in effect. See what programs are actually being used. Some of these programs may be out of date and be in need of a makeover, or possibly even need to be shut down. Drastic decisions need to be made in order to make room for improvement. This will allow funding for more up to date activities that may attract more people to better the Y.

Finding good help is hard these days, which is why Bowen will need to have Pierce help her out to get her on her feet. This job can not do a complete turnaround over night. Lots and lots of time and effort will need to be planned out accordingly. Ideas for ways the association can run can be researched by looking at other surrounding areas with the same types of communities. See what they are doing that is working or not working. Referring to another business that is of your same nature can save you a lot of future headaches.

    Our education system faces a myriad of questions. One of which is, what is the main objective of our education system: to graduate students at a high academic standard, to graduate students who can interact socially, or to prepare students wholly in order to become contributing members of society? Parents, school districts, and the government all have their own ideas as to the primary purpose. The means (education) to the end (producing educated citizens) can take many roads or methods. One method goes down the road of social promotion. However, the unpopular practice of social promotion in our schools does not prepare our children academically. It promotes low standards, accepts mediocrity, and gives a false hope of success in a world which is unforgiving towards the uneducated.

    Fortunately, the new manager received me with open arms. The beginning of change starts here, I take the time to think before I react most of the time. I analyze the situation before I react on my impulse, for instance when I converse with my oldest son regarding completing his homework on time instead of going in on him. I calmly address the situation by explaining why is important to get things done early and the repercussion if not done. It seem to be more of a lasting impression over my oldest because he seemed more emotional about it than other incidents where he gets yelled at.

    Saleem Hylton and Ivy Hylton (his wife) and their leadership model for the AAMA is rooted in CRS initiatives and social change. The impact to the organization’s profits has consistently increased due to the organization’s popularity and positive image in the community. The residents and business owners donate to AAMA and some allow the use of their facilities off hours to use for activities or meetings sponsored by AAMA. In addition, the local officials are also more likely to donate and approve government grant opportunities for AAMA because they have consistently exhibited integrity in how they conduct fundraisers and their method of the disbursement of all awards funneled back into the communities. This approach to leadership is a process and not just a property of the positional person in charge of the organization. That is essential to make this a better world and that society works together effectively in collaboration towards a common purpose. The goal of incorporating CSR initiatives in any organization is to create positive social change. However, the leadership behind such initiatives would need to be socially responsible leaders (Shani, 2009) to properly implement and maintain CRS within an organization with their employees, environment and the communities around them. It is that approach to leadership that treats all those things very preciously and as a
