Discovering myself as an authentic leader, and in fact taking necessary steps to ensure that I live up to my dream as a true leader has not been easy.

Leaders easily get others engaged in a project, which they believe in.

An authentic leader is more than just an engagement in leadership. Unlike other ...

Literature Review
Psychologists have previously considered societal norms, behaviors, attitudes, communication of knowledge and observations made by others as determinants of intergroup beliefs. Several studies have provided support for this premise. These studies have demonstrated that there exists consensus among the stereotypical beliefs of different individuals. These studies also showed that prejudice and stereotyping result from clearly defined and established group norms. The studies also found that racial attitudes of different individuals differ depending on the societal norms professed in the immediate environment. This shows that individuals exhibit relatively favorable intergroup attitudes that are dependent in the beliefs ...

Social consensus information is one of the things that have influence on inter-group attitudes. However, the most essential thing is that there is a significance of the way in which individuals get into the group that provides the consensus information.

This report aims at making detailed analysis about the social consensus information and the level at which it can cause can influence the humanitarian help. The research from which this ...

Abnormality is a physical malformation or deviation from the typical behavior. Different backgrounds such as religions, cultures and ages lead to abnormal behavior. Personality of one self is what shapes behavior. Though cultural around a person also facilitates and affects a person to start with abnormal behavior no matter the age or religion of the person. The process of differentiating abnormal and normal behavior must take into account in cultural relativism. However, a major important component of culture is religion (London, Rosenhan, & Perspectives 1968).

promissory estoppels in Business contracts

Introduction

Miller (2013, p. 173) stated that the doctrine of promissory estoppel also known as “detrimental reliance”, shall give any person who has reasonably and substantially relied on the promise of another to acquire some measure of recovery. At present time, the doctrine of promissory estoppel has been used in different contexts by the court that allowed the recovery of a promise despite lack consideration on the promissor. The doctrine enabled the court to enforce an unenforceable promise that will prevent the miscarriage of justice to those who suffered losses and damages. In order for the ...

Mary Rowlandson had a particularly difficult experience in maintaining her Puritanism and womanhood, as she was captured by Indians and lived with them for some time. Her experiences, as depicted in the narrative itself, directly challenge Puritan religious beliefs, as well as her understanding of her moral superiority over the Indians who capture her. Mary believes that God has a central role in her life, due to her Puritanism, and so she believes that there is a reason that she was attacked and captured. The book itself informs us of the Puritans' belief in the supremacy of God, particularly through Mary's examinations ...

Summary

In Desserud's article "The Governor General, the Prime Minister and the Request to Prorogue," the author looks at the events that led to the eventual prorogation of parliament in Canada in 2009, stemming from Steven Harper (Canada's PM) and his decision to prorogue. The Governor General's choice to accept the prorogation is also examined. In essence, Desserud argues that the Governor General accepted the request by the prime minister because it was the only option that she could take; it was a controversial decision, but one that was absolutely necessary and constitutional. This is meant to deal with the controversy ...

Leadership is a process by which an individual influences others to achieve a common objective and leads the organization in a manner that makes it more coherent and cohesive. On the other hand, a leader is an individual who directs or guides others. Good leaders are not born but are made. Therefore, everyone can become an effective leader if he or she has got willpower and desire to become an authentic leader. Outstanding leaders develop through a process of training, education, self-study and experience, a process that never ends. In order for an individual to be able to inspire his or her employees into higher ...

I think that leadership is the ability to inspire and enable a group of people to achieve a common goal. However, even as a good leader allows group members to contribute in their own ways, he or she still remains responsible and accountable for the group as a whole and for providing the group with the necessary guidance that will enable them to cope with the changes that may occur as they try to achieve their goal (Farid Dadashev,2007, http://mba.yale.edu/index.shtml).

That said, leadership is something that should be taken seriously. Although it can be adventurous and fun to be a leader, it should ...

What I liked about the book

A part from being so informative, Judgment in Managerial Decision Making by Max. H. Bazerman, is a very interesting book. This is why many people, besides recommending it to others, regard it as a must read. However, when I was reading it, I was captivated by the following concepts:
First, it was so interesting to learn that many people fail to make well thought decisions due to their personality. As Max argues, they fail in realizing their aims due to bias. Their attitudes heavily influence their stand on various problems that need to be resolved. Moreover, many people, in their ...

Advertising is a public relations’ function through which practitioners place information, commercial messages in media, for reaching their audience.

Leadership is a very popular topic today and it has always remained an important part of human existence.

In Athanasius’ On the Incarnation of the Word, Athanasius speaks of Christ as a figure who was intended to provide salvation to all, and restore harmony to humanity.

Man is connected very strongly to the word of God, particularly through its incarnation into Jesus Christ. At the same time, man quickly turned to sin and debauchery, due to a rejection of the contemplation of God.

This led to a marring of God’s name, it ...
