Business leaders do have both positive and negative leadership traits. Until recently, business leadership literature has ignored the dark side of leaders believing that it does not favor implementing changes in the workplace.

Problems in sustaining healthy relationships, lack of empathy and taking insults to heart are certain common traits ...

At some point, everyone must speak before an audience. For some, public speaking can be frightening, causing anxiety and dread. As terrifying as public speaking may be for some people, there are effective ways to overcome public speaking anxiety, or so-called stage fright. Public speaking anxiety can be overcome by establishing an audience connection, objectifying our biological response to the situation, and by owning our public speaking experience. Connecting to the audience, and engaging them in our content and delivery is an important way in which to overcome public speaking anxiety. After all, public speaking, by definition, entails speaking ...

Introduction

Adolescence is a developmental period of individuals aged 13-19, which has its own peculiarities to distinguish between childhood and adulthood. Adolescents’ brain is not fully matured and is still subject to rapid development, which explains specific changes in youths’ reflecting and behavior. Spear (2013) supports this idea by claiming that “adolescent-typical ways of thinking and behaving appear in part neurobiologically based” (p. 11). In this regard youths’ social life relies on their perception of self-identity formed through family relations and peer networks in school and out of school. ...

The influence of the family on children's behavior is widely documented in the literature, and numerous studies support the idea that involved parental style and authoritative parental approach significantly affect children's academic achievement, regardless of ethnic/racial background, gender, and age.

Baumrind's theory-based categorization of parental style led to the earliest parental style paradigm, namely, permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative, all of which having emotional ...

After reading Amy Chu’s Wall Street Journal article about the superiority of Chinese parenting compared to Western parenting, I was left wondering if her claims are true. Common sense tells me that there are all different types of parenting styles, and often the difference exists as a result of cultural differences. However, could it be possible that Western parents are failing their children while Chinese parents or the like are doing a better job of parenting? Perhaps that is a matter of opinion based on what is important to the parents and individual. Some parents focus on academics, ...

According to Bo Jack horseman, a person can become an achiever from zero. It does not matter the society that one is brought up. One can still question his elders or successful guys and achieve his dreams and goals in the society. Bob Burger is yet another character where in his movie he believes that self-confidence and intrinsic motivation is what leads to success. On the other hand, Fatarumas’ movie observes the behavior of a gentleman who confidently moves away from his society to live a life of his choice in a different country with different people.

There may be various reasons as to why employees in an organization need to be motivated.

Some employees, however, do not need motivation albeit due to their inner self-drive to achieve something on a personal level or on a career level. ...

The impact of violent video games on aggressive and violent behaviours is a controversial issue among many scholars and researchers across the globe (Quandt 34).

In regards to benefits, they have the potential of increasing people’s cognitive skills, displaying gaming proficiencies, and promoting self-confidence. On the other hand, they also lead to violent ...

The history of capitalism is a fascinating thing to explore from a sociological perspective, and many social theorists have attempted to investigate both its origins and its eventual outcomes. Sociologists Max Weber and Karl Marx have their own respective ideas about the nature and history of capitalism, both of which are somewhat different in theory. For Max Weber, capitalism largely came about due to the religious pressure of Puritan principles such as hard work and professionalism on its citizens, which allowed societies to take advantage of that willing work ethic to maximize productivity and profit. Karl Marx, however, sees ...

In conformity with the latest Fortune 500 rating, 24 women hold senior roles in the S&P 500. Although “this year’s list comes with six new women CEOs” and, therefore, this figure is higher than at any point before, “that still represents a small percentage — 4.8% to be exact — of the overall CEOs on the list” (qtd. in Fortune.com). Some might argue that such low percentage of women in top management and corporate leadership positions occurs due to the low percentage of female employees working for the S&P 500. But that is not the case. In actual fact, “while ...

As early as 2005, female Chief Financial Officers in major American corporations constitutes 7.5 percent of all managers in this position and female Chief Executive Officers around 1.5 percent, a significant increase in representation from the levels (3.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively) seen in 1994 (Huang and Kisgen 822). This female representation, though, is still too small to not indicate the presence of culturally defined stereotypical bias against women for the management position, the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ barrier ...

In essence, the church and the state should support each and obey God’s provisions as envisioned in the divine laws. In other words, the State and the ...

When I was a kid I lost my maxillary central incisors and that strongly impressed me as I can vividly recall feeling self-consciousness. I remember this period of inner turmoil, various dental procedures I had to come through which restored my self-confidence.

These memories ultimately awaked within me a desire to become a dentist. While my self-consciousness helped me to appreciate the value of dental health, a series of treatments in the following years brought me to the place where my ...

Summary of leadership philosophy

Every leader in society or organization has their personal approach and perception towards doing things. Leadership must be guided by specific philosophies that provide direction on how to achieve the desired results and performance. A leadership philosophy is quite different from leadership styles or models. A leadership philosophy focuses on how a leader behaves and his characteristics. It is the detailed kind of leadership a certain leader offers to his subjects. The philosophy I hold towards leadership is a combination of two philosophies. My leadership philosophy is to offer leadership that is based on ethics, servants and values.

Lying is one of the most common human behaviors with many people terming it as wrong but necessary at times. Lying can be described as a form of deception, and has three main features: a lie has to communicate some information; the liar has to have the intention to mislead or deceive and; the liar is aware that he or she is telling a lie (BBC, 2013).

It is not a secret that professional appearance inspires respect and is conducive to business communication. According to Chaney & Martin (2007), “First impressions are often lasting impressions; research shows that 55 percent of this first impression is based on appearance” (p.28). Looking at overall appearance people often decide whether or not they like you and will do business with you. At subconscious level this comes within 5 seconds of the first encounter. Appropriate business dress, hygiene and grooming describe your attitude to work, professionalism, preparedness, intelligence and self-confidence. Companies have policies that regulate professional appearance in their workplace. The following ...
