Many global organizations have environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores with one of the major players such as Dow Jones, Sustainalytics, and Thomson Reuters. You can also check the Refinitiv website (listed in the Module Four Resources) to find a specific company’s ESG score. Although no consensus exists for the various metrics within ESG, the environmental aspects have the most commonality. Select a large company you are familiar with that has an ESG score in one of the major players and review its past sustainability commitments toward the environment and how it has achieved or failed those commitments. Explore its current ESG initiatives and corresponding score. (Burberry)
Address the following main elements:
Discuss the past and current ESG findings of your selected company. Has it failed      or achieved its ESG commitments?
Offer ESG recommendations for your chosen company.

To identify if a from SHEIN missing package, follow these steps:
Check Your Order Status: 
Log in to your SHEIN account: Go to the “My Orders” section to view the status of your order. 
Order Status: Look for statuses like “Shipped,” “In Transit,” or “Delivered.” If it says “Delivered” but you haven’t received it, the package may be missing.
Review the Tracking Information: 
Tracking Details: SHEIN provides a tracking number for your order. Use this number to track the package on the carrier’s website (e.g., USPS, DHL, FedEx). 
Delivery Status: The tracking information will show where the package is and if it has been delivered. If it says “Delivered” but you haven’t received it, there might be an issue.
Check for Delivery Issues: 
Delivery Attempts: The carrier might have tried to deliver the package but couldn’t. Check if there are any notes in the tracking information about attempted deliveries or if the package was left at a pickup location. 
Wrong Address: Ensure that the shipping address on your order is correct. A wrong address could lead to a lost or misdelivered package.
Wait a Few Days: 
Delayed Delivery: Sometimes, packages are marked as delivered a day or two before they actually arrive. Wait 24-48 hours to see if it shows up.
Contact Neighbors or Building Management: 
Ask Around: The package might have been delivered to a neighbor by mistake or left in a common area if you live in an apartment building.
By carefully reviewing each of these steps, you can determine whether your SHEIN package is truly missing or just delayed.

Hello Classmates,
Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech reflects leading through hard times while providing a defining vision for followers by supporting black workers over discriminatory and unsafe conditions during a time of violence and racism. In this time of injustice, Martin Luther King Jr. talks to his followers about biblical stories of Hebrews and walks them through tough situations. He urges nonviolent protest because he believes black people are not interested in negative protest and arguments. These instances of window breaking should not be their priority. He explained he had vision to his followers. “And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!” (King 1968). This was a vision that explained they should stay together because unity helps create a collective voice against injustice. 
The conditions were harsh at the time and negatively impacted King’s leadership ability. People were suffering and starving from poor working conditions. In addition, protestors have been sprayed by water hoses. Those who remained after the crowd dispersion were arrested. These conditions injected fear, uncertainty, and doubt into his followers and made it more difficult for Martin Luther King Jr. to lead them. 
Current leaders could take some directions from the speech to address the present and the future success of a strategy, movement, vision or the success of an organization. One takeaway is to always stand firm with a clear vision. As long as the team has a clear vision for an organization, they will know their current actions have purpose. Another takeaway is to remain calm in front of fear and inspire the team. Like King during his speech, having a leader who is unafraid will help the team remain confident during tough times. The head of the spear needs to stay sharp and lead the way, uninterrupted by outside forces. One last takeaway from King’s speech is to urge for a nonviolent method. This maintains ethics and leadership within the team. Having morals is important for leaders because it separates those who prioritize self-interest and those who prioritize utilitarianism. The best solution for a member may not be the best solution for the whole organization.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” is a powerful example of leading through tough times and inspiring people with a clear vision. He addressed the struggles of African Americans, especially the Memphis sanitation workers, and called for boycotts against businesses that did not support workers’ rights. Despite facing violent opposition, economic hardship, and internal divisions within the Civil Rights Movement, he emphasized unity and nonviolence. The speech reflects his ability to provide hope and direction during challenging times. He recognized the immediate struggles while inspiring his audience to envision a brighter future. Significant resistance to the Civil Rights Movement existed, including violent opposition from institutional forces and individuals against racial equality. Despite these challenges, Dr. King remained steadfast, using his platform to call for unity and perseverance.
Today’s leaders can draw several lessons from Dr. King’s speech to address challenges. Leaders should clearly communicate their vision and the steps needed to achieve it, much like Dr. King’s focus on economic justice and nonviolent protest. Emphasizing the power of collective action can move followers toward a common goal, as seen in Dr. King’s call for boycotts that united the community in a shared cause. Balancing the immediate concerns of followers while keeping sight of long-term objectives is important, and demonstrating courage and resolve in the face of opposition can inspire and strengthen followers’ commitment to the cause. His ability to lead through difficult times by providing a defining vision continues to offer good insights for leaders striving to effect change and guide their organizations toward success.

12 Angry Men perfectly displayed the stages of group development as discussed in Chapter 2 of Leadership Essentials. It began with the forming stage when the jury goes into deliberation during the murder trial. Forming is as described by Tuckman, when the group is still individually associated. “Members learn about each other, and plan their work and their new roles around these new relationships.”(Oedekoven, O. O., Lavrenz, J., & Robbins, D., Pg.43) As they make an anonymous vote and a debate breaks out regarding the not guilty vote, they begin exuding the storming stage of group development. This is when the obvious storm strikes the group. Many leaders are tested/revealed during this time because there are many tribulations, arguments, and disagreements to work through. By the conclusion of the film the jurors work together to leverage each others opinions and display the norming phase where things begin to level out. Productivity thrives at this point. Shortly after, they were able to perform by coming up with a proper verdict was their priority. The adjourning stage was shown as we are left with juror 3 and 8, two extreme sides of the previous storm that we had witnessed. 
Something I had learned about leading groups through hard times was sometimes all stages must be played out in order for majority to hear all opinions. Many times in my friendships, work leadership roles, and even organizations I tried to step in and quietly assert my opinion much like Juror 8 without much discussion to follow. Trying to avoid the storming stage of group dynamics, I would often cause more chaos. If the situations were to simply norm themselves out, the group would move from the dynamic of individuals to then a collaborative state. With my current leadership skills, I have not allowed for that group development. Hopefully with this new lesson, things will change.

The five stages in team development described by Tuckman can be found as Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning. The use of the Forming stage in the development of the team is used as the beginning stage where the team has a time to understand the situation they have at hand. This can be seen in the movie “12 Angry Men” when one of the jurors proposes that the team takes some time in order to discuss the case at hand rather than going straight to voting. From this scene, the viewer can see the beginning of the formation of the team by the character opening up the discussion to the rest of the jurors. The storming stage is as the name calls a storm that is brought in the team where “They fight and argue. People feel frustration, resentment, and anger as problems fester and work goes undone”(Oedekoven, O. O., Lavrenz, J., & Robbins, D., p.44). The storming stage from the movie can be scene when arguments start to arise between two jurors over the matter of the reliability of one of the important witnesses testimony. While one is arguing to defend his beliefs in the defendants guilt the other juror is still questioning the credibility that the witness even has. The norming stage is can be seen in the group when the team is able to work through their differences in order to build better relationships with one another. The stage of norming is portrayed in “12 Angry Men” through the execution of looking through the evidence piece by piece in order to get everyone’s input on whether what evidence is actually credible and useful for the case at hand. Performing occurs when the team is able to help one another to become a stronger connected team. The best scene to show the development stage of a team of performing would be when the group finally came to a decision and relooks at all of the evidence together as a team. The adjourning stage is when the team has an end and people are no longer working alongside one another. This stage from “12 Angry Men” can be seen through the final stages of the movie in which jurors left the room after the case had been closed. In this scene the team no longer has a purpose and no longer needs to work with one another. What I’ve learned from leading a group through hard times was from my time in leading my robotics team back in school. Before competition, the team needs to develop a design of just one robot. Getting a group of about 20 people to try and decide on one design can be quite hard, but leading the group by making sure everyone’s voice is heard was the best option. Everyone was able to debate back and forth on what designs could be implemented and people bounced ideas off one another in order to create something better than they had thought. Through these hard times the team truly learned that communication was key to our team’s success.
