He noticed the Net was having a much stronger influence over him than his PC ever had (324). Carr does not say if it is positive or negative that the Net was having such a strong influence on him. Like it or not, the Web has made such an impact on society that Carr concludes, “What’s clear though, is that for society as a whole the Net has become, in just twenty years since the software programmer Tim Berners- Lee wrote the code for the World Wide Web, the communication and information medium of choice… by choice or necessity, we’ve embraced the Net’s uniquely rapid-fire mode of collecting and dispensing information” (318). It does not matter if one uses the Web as a want or need, the Web has become the communication and information medium of choice. Carr discusses the disadvantages and advantages, but feels ambivalent and does not feel strongly for or against the Web.
How might these three employees’ characteristics affect the performance of the organization? In my opinion it seems to me that the most common concern is the personality trait. All three of the employees have different personality traits; this will require a different means of communication from a manager. To look a bit deep, a manger must know his people and their capabilities, for instance placing people in the right job makes all the difference in the world and can greatly affect the organization performance in a positive or a negative way.

Considering the research that was conducted, as well as Colvin’s own observations, he has come to the conclusion that greatness is available to everyone. He states that “Scientific experts are producing remarkably consistent findings across a wide array of fields” which is what leads him to believe that the research being done is accurate, proving his philosophy to be true.

In the article Colvin also states that a critical factor in becoming great in nearly any field would be deliberate practice. But what is deliberate practice?
We learned that management members might consider not using tests to determine individual’s personalities, because sometimes only judgments on the individual’s abilities indicate stronger personality traits then personality tests. The team members learned that individuals approach job requirements in different manners; this may indicate the reason why an individual’s personality maybe mismatched with his or her current position.

Ethical standards are the code of conduct required by the organization for workers to follow. The relationship between organizational culture and ethics is that the organizational culture guides workers when faced with ethical problems.

This essay analyses the three leadership theories and its application in the real world: situational leadership, servant leadership and transformational leadership. 2. Key Leadership Theories and its Application in the Real World 2.1 Situational leadership The situational leadership theory is developed by Ken Blanchard and Paul Hersey, which refers to the manager or the leader in an organization, who adjust his management or leadership theory to fit the development level of the employees.
