Personal Leadership Plan Outline I am a graduate age 26 working in a medium-sized institution operating in the service industry. I joined the organization while still a university student and later transferred to the current department that I am working in after my graduation. The firm’s management encouraged me to join the leadership development program scheduled to commence in November 2020 and is to last for two months. This is a better opportunity that will help me further develop my competencies and leadership skills. However, before the training, I decided to carry out a personal analysis to identify my strengths, weaknesses, and areas for further development. I was encouraged to start a personal leadership plan after reading Laurie Jones’ book ‘Jesus,’ where she elucidates three significant leadership aspects she learned after reading Jesus Christ’s teachings and life (Jones 17). Jones noted that the mission and life of Jesus was a demonstration of successful leadership. The three categories of leadership traits sourced from Jesus include the power of good relationships, the power of action, and the power of self-mastery. Listening to…

  Analytical Comparison Essay. Journal Entry. Article: “We don’t need more humanities majors” by Edward Conrad. This article by Edward Conrad appeared in “The Washington Post” in July of 2013. The content inscribed here is thus considered recent and relevant because it touches on current issues. He central idea of this article is that most employment requirements do not need humanities per se. Engineering, I.T, and other technology-related fields have taken over the employment sector. This is due to the growth in technology and technological matters. The author claims technology has taken over almost every aspect in the job market using Prof. Charles Jones’s research that puts scientific researchers at more than 50% since the 1950s. In other researches by Prof Chad Sparber and Giovanni Peri, 10-20% of the productivity growth in the U.S is due to technology and scientific advancements. Therefore, in this plight, humanities are seen to be losing meaning slowly. The study of humanities does not contribute to the current trends and growth as Science and technology. In my view, I find the author’s argument convincing enough.…

My Background Inspired My Success My background could be described as a scenario where I would get one piece of good news, and fifty other parts would come up that would lead to complete despair. My family was so poverty-stricken that even the other poor villagers around us called us inadequate. I was the firstborn in a family of eight siblings, raised by a workaholic mother and an alcoholic for a father. We could hardly afford two meals in a day, and most times, we had to virtually be satisfied by the scent of food from our neighbors’ kitchens. The chaos never subsided where our family was concerned. My father would pick fights with everything and everyone whenever he was in a drunken stupor. My mother was emotionally detached from everything happening in the family. I still think she was trying to avoid a mental breakdown since she had to work so hard while her husband gulped all his earnings in alcohol. Despite the challenges, I knew being the firstborn meant being strong enough to steer my siblings towards a…

Eight Stages That A Person Goes Through To Be Fully Developed According to Eriksonian, there are eight stages that a person goes through to be fully developed. The first stage is trust versus mistrust. This stage takes place from birth to 12-18 months old. Children develop trust when they have someone to depend on. The second stage is autonomy versus shame. This stage takes place when a child is between 18months- 3 years. This stage determines the self-esteem of a child. The third stage is initiative versus guilt, which takes place when the child is between 3-5 years. This is where the child knows that they can control what they do. The fourth stage is the industry versus inferiority stage, which takes place between the ages of 5-12 years. This is when a child realizes that they have the ability to set and achieve goals. The fifth stage is identity versus confusion, where the child is able to develop a sense of self-identity and work towards the future. The sixth stage is intimacy and isolation, which takes place between the…

  The Suicide Assessment Tool  The suicide assessment tool was developed to help evaluate people at the risk of being suicidal. Experts developed it in the field of suicide assessment and development of scales and tools in clinical, research and institutional settings. However, the suicide assessment tool is not a diagnostic tool since suicide is not a medical diagnosis but a behaviour. It is also not a predictive tool since suicide cannot be predicted (Fazel and Wolf, 2017). I found it to be a semi-structured instrument that can be followed to ensure risk factors associated with suicide have been examined. Before the development of the suicide assessment tool, assessment of suicide risk was done by the clinical judgement of the nurse in charge. Inexperienced staff were likely to have less confidence in making such sensitive judgements. Development of the risk assessment tool helped develop confidence in less experienced staff and supplement the clinical judgement of the experienced nurses (Desjardins, n.d.). Since then, it has helped clinicians detect who is at risk and who needs further intervention. In February 2016, the…

The inability to use more than two words in a sentence is an indication that Billy has speech and language delay. His condition is a delay in speech because he can understand what another person is speaking and derive meaning from the words spoken. However, he finds it hard to construct sentences to respond to questions; hence he only uses a word to give sense to what he is feeling about the question asked. A three-year-old child who is appropriately developing can speak well to others and use names to address others, and they are capable of calling themselves by their name. Three-year-old children can tell a story they are told, and they can also use three or more words in sentences. Billy is four years and eight months, but he cannot use more than two words in a sentence, which indicates a delay in his use of speech or language to communicate. To help a child whose speech and language are delayed an educator can use several strategies to improve these skills. Encouraging Billy to start reading aloud whenever…

  Psychopathy in the Corporate World             Psychopathy is defined as a human disorder involving antisocial behaviour and affective abnormalities. The Psychopathy Checklist-revised (PCL-R) is a psychological assessment tool used to assess psychopathy in individuals. It was mainly used in the criminal justice system but is becoming more important to the clinical system and society in general. In the justice system, PCL-R is used to indicate potential risks posed by prisoners. The results have been used in determining length and type of sentence and the treatments they should receive and those that they should not. Corporate psychopathy has been discovered to be a trait possessed by many employees in the corporate world. Such disorders contribute to deviant workplace behaviours (Cheang and Appelbaum, 2015). Organizations should adapt their practices to identify and manage employees who have tendencies towards corporate psychopathy. Employees getting into management training programmes should therefore be administered with the PCL-R to ascertain that the organizations are not hiring psychopaths. Also, doing it before training will make them lack time to establish a façade of an ideal employee and…
