What types of things will motivate you in your career? Name at least five things. Where would these fit on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Herzberg’s two-factor theory?
Exercise Instructions: You are required to submit a 2-Page (Title Page and Content Page), APA formatted paper with substantial content. Substantial content requires staying on topic and fully addresses the assignment in a clear, concise, and meaningful manner. The deliverable length of your posting responses must be at least 2-pages, (Title Page and Content Page) APA format.
Exercises must be the students original thoughts based on the topics from the “Open Educational Resource” (OER) Course Textbook and/or other referenced sources. Direct quotes from references must be less than 20 words. Please review for sentence structure, grammar and punctuation errors. Plagiarized submissions may result in a “0” for the submission.

Please tell us the name of the leader you chose, why you chose them, what they do for work, and how they have brought about influence and or change among the people they are leading. After your initial post, (when responding to others) comment on whether or not you agree with the leaders they chose and why. (The goal of this discussion is to highlight factors and traits that we believe great leaders possess and why)

The Done Differently Analysis is a short essay in which you reflect on one of your own, past experiences in an organization (personal or professional), analyzing what you could or should have done differently in light of what you have learned in class. This essay will help you to connect the course learnings with your leadership. It will also allow you to reflect on successful and failed strategies, which will help you better prepare and respond in the future.
Although you will inevitably need to describe what happened during a past experience, the analysis should not be a detailed report of everything that happened. Instead, you should focus on analyzing what could or should have happened if you had known the course lessons discussed to-date—and why. In addition to discussing how the process would have differed, you might also reflect on how the outcome would have differed.
A high-quality analysis is one that steps back from a situation, identifies key events and processes, uses course concepts to help structure the analysis, and does so in a well-written fashion. The analysis should be no longer than two pages typed.
I have attached a file containing the chapter readings relevant to this assignment.

In the video, the presenter discusses the role of culture and how we interpret the behavior of others, and how we define our own. At one point, he makes the point that we approach to culture in one of three ways – confront, complain, or conform? For this assignment, you are being asked to explore these dimensions a little further.
Reflecting on the text (Chapter 6) and what has been discussed in this video, what are ways that cultural misunderstandings or misinterpretations may affect (or fuel) conflict? You may want to reflect on a global cultural difference, or even choose something more local like the culture of your workplace, family, or church. How might conflict be diminished or aided by not reacting to what we see, but by giving perspective first?
Use the points made by the presenter, related to the three C’s to discuss how conflict might emerge from cultural interactions.
Confront: My behaviors or perspectives are right, others are wrong. I have a duty to exert what I believe is true.
Complain: My behaviors or perspectives are right, others are wrong. I isolate myself in order to protect what I believe.
Conform (Adapt): My behaviors or perspectives are right (could be right), others also have behaviors or perspectives. I am able to adapt in order to grow.
Your response should be 2-3 pages not counting the cover and references pages.

Discussion:
Hello Class
My dominant talents comprise 1 to 14, supporting talents 15 to 29, and lesser talents 30 to 34. I had the deliberate talent at 14 and the input talent at 15. I chose this point to delineate between dominant and supporting because I felt there was a distinct difference between my preference of these two traits. I am private, careful, and like to make plans, so I feel the deliberate talent is a strength. Although I am inquisitive, I don’t constantly feel the need to collect information or items. So, I consider input as a supporting trait.
I had the command talent at 29 and the ideation talent at 30. Again, I felt there was a distinct gap between these two talents. Others often turn to me to take charge. I don’t mind confrontation and willingly share my opinions even if others have a differing opinion. As such, I was surprised the command talent came in so low. Whereas it didn’t surprise me the ideation talent came in near the bottom. I don’t feel a need to understand the deep, complex meaning of certain ideas. I like to keep things simple and move to action.
As an example of one of my dominant talents (learner), last week my headquarters canvassed for individuals to review a critical incident. The opportunity would be a great learning experience, but would require immediate travel, long hours, and working through the weekend with an unknown end date. Despite my heavy workload, school assignments, and family responsibilities, I packed my bags and headed to the airport because I didn’t want to pass up on the learning opportunity.
As an example of one of my supportive talents (empathy), I was a crisis negotiator before I entered leadership roles in my organization. This trait helped me to connect with all sorts of people, understand where they were coming from, and develop rapport so we could work together toward mutually beneficial outcomes.
One of my lesser talents is woo. Those with the woo strength are great at networking because they like to meet new people. Networking is widely considered critical to getting promotions. Since woo is not my strength, I have leaned into my most dominant talent (achiever) to stand out and promote within the organization.
Cultivating dominant talents into strengths seems to come fairly naturally. I just stick to what I’m already good at and look for ways to refine and improve. For example, discipline and learner are two of my dominant strengths. When I read the book Atomic Habits by James Clear (I’m a learner so I like to read), I incorporated new lessons into my daily routine that helped me become more disciplined.
The shadow side of my dominant relator strength sometimes turns into a weakness, similar to what I explained under woo. As a dominant relator, I enjoy close relationships. When I’m at a large function, I prefer to spend the entire time with those I already know well rather than getting to know more people and expanding my network.
I believe lesser talents can be weaknesses. However, I don’t believe they always have to be. I can leverage my strengths and utilize my team to overcome lesser talents. For example, one of my dominant talents is arranger. As long as I don’t place limits on the team by restricting us to my talents, I can empower team members and arrange team roles so our combined potential is much higher than my personal potential.
