This was his first command and he had only been the squadron commander for about a year at the time of the suicide. Though he knew it could happen, nothing truly prepared him for this type of personnel issue. His faith, the Air Force Core Values and the resources available to his command through the Air Force are what saw him, and his unit, through that most difficult time. Being a man of faith and believing everything happens for a reason, gave him a sort of “moral platform” which he used to come to an understanding of what needed to be accomplished in his role as the commander. Part of his leadership philosophy contained the Air Force Core Values and he did his best to embody those values not only during this crisis, but throughout his time as a commander and always as an Air Force member.

Ch. 10 Graff gives Anderson the order to make Ender a commander, and Anderson agrees, apologizing for doubting his superior's tactics.

For my research paper I chose to focus on Lil Wayne. I admire him because he is hard working and he has gone through a lot to achieve his American dream and he never gave up on it. Lil Wayne's American dream was to have a better life for himself and move his family out of the ghetto. He had been trying to do that since he was young and then he finally got discovered at the age of 13 by Birdman who was a well-known local producer. He took Lil Wayne to the top and even though he had to drop out of high school it was wroth it because he is now worth over 24 Million dollars.
Leadership embraced a wide range of definition throughout human history from political Traditional theories of Leadership 2 to economical aspects. Leadership has evolved from a reflection of military success in ancient times to the showcase of flourishing companies and organizations. Although it is frequent to match it with management but leadership does not depend on a structural position in other words no title is needed to be a leader. According to business dictionary online: “leadership is the activity of leading a group of people or an organization which involves establishing a clear vision, sharing it with others, while sharing information, knowledge, and methods to realize that vision.” Sociologists have studied the emergence of leaders and devised theories of leadership. Traditional theories of leadership, especially those derived from psychological orientations are embedded in a logical positivist framework.
One could easily argue that the leadership traits both coaches exhibit are natural and what help them rise to the fame they have achieved; this may be true but then that argument also implies that leadership is born and not made. Taking a closer look at these coaches reveals however that so many of their former players have become great coaches and professional athletes. If their leadership was only trait based then were they just fortunate enough to have recruited so many natural leaders? A good example Snook, Perlow, & Delacey (2005) give is when Coach Knight was fired from Indiana he went to coach Texas Tech who were without a winning record in four year. Coach Knight turned the team of players he did not recruit into a winning team during his first year there.
In his own way he has given so many Americans reasons to believe in themselves, believe that they can get a good, quality education and eventually go into the job market and have health insurance and maybe even buy their own home; something that many Americans have yet to and may never accomplish. He’s done this all by achieving what so many Presidents before him and failed to do, he’s a leader who has regained respect from the rest of the World for the United States. He had my vote last time and you can bet he will have it
Esprit de corps is a traditional military expression that denotes the Army’s common spirit, a collective ethos of camaraderie and cohesion within the team. Esprit de corps exists at all levels, influencing individual morale, team cohesion, and ethos within the Army Profession. It is reflected in motivation, morale and discipline of the soldiers in a unit. Pride in what they are doing for their families and the American people, as well as just knowing they are doing something good with their lives but living up to the army morals and values. Espirit De Corps in a unit can be based on the experience and history of the unit as well as customs and traditions unique to it.
Business Leadership & Management Competencies Professor Dardo 14 February 2011 “In Praise of Followers” versus “What Every Leader Needs to Know About Followers” The importance of the leader-follower relationship in organizations is discussed in both Robert E. Kelley’s “In Praise of Followers” and Barbara Kellerman’s “What Every Leader Needs to Know About Followers.” There are slight differences between the main points in these two articles, however. In Kelley’s article, he discusses what constitutes an “exemplary follower” and elaborates on the five categories into which followers can be placed. On the other hand, Kellerman has a different perception of followers and categorizes them in a slightly different manner. Kellerman discusses the “level of engagement” of the follower and explains that this factor is vital when trying to measure the relationship of the leader and follower. The leader-follower relationship is important in practically every setting because one role cannot exist without the other.
I believe that this act should be repealed and replaced with a law that requires all high school graduates whether they are male or female enlist for at least one year in the active duty military. This way no one can say that the law is sexist, unfair or immoral. On various occasions the United States has come under threat from either foreign or internal attacks. Some of the greatest and well known are the attack on Pearl Harbor, the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. For some these attacks alone were enough for soldiers to enlist in active duty military service. Others unfortunately are quite content in sitting at home enjoying many of the freedoms that our military fights so hard to preserve, but when asked to serve themselves come up with various reasons as to why they cannot serve.
