leadership theory model.
Spiritual leadership interjects ethical values into the organizational culture. Specifically, the servant leadership approach empowers individual subordinates to take personal responsibility for their actions through the creation of a climate of trust and open communication. As Bradshaw (2018) points out, communication is “key to successful interaction between leaders and their subordinates,” (p. 1). Not only is communication key to the establishment of strong interpersonal relationships in the army;…[…… parts of this paper are missing, click here to view the entire document ]…those individuals in ways that are culturally appropriate as well as aligned with the needs of their career path. Even when providing leadership development for those transitioning to… Continue Reading...
which personal responsibility was subsumed by the federal government. This type of submission to authority was welcomed by those in need: many did in fact require some kind of intervention to help make ends meet. For others, however, it cut against the cultural grain of the American tradition. American had fought for independence in the 18th century and had established a Constitution guaranteeing people a certain degree of autonomy in their life decision. If someone chose not to vaccinate even in the face of overwhelming evidence that vaccines helped end the… Continue Reading...
personal responsibility and leadership. ZPD helps learners to learn and teachers to teach. Anyone who possesses a skill is a teacher in waiting in the light of ZPD. Anyone who has the potential to master a task with a little guidance is a student in waiting in the light of ZPD. Thus, the benefits of ZPD are enormous in the field of primary level physical education—especially considering the tightening of school budgets and the stretching of the duties of more and more teachers. By allowing older pupils to mix with… Continue Reading...
be designed to enable unethical behavior or at least to facilitate thee tendency to abnegate personal responsibility and accountability. The conflict between personal ethics and organizational behavior is borne out in the research by Cojuhuarenco, Shteynberg, Gelfland, et al. (2012). Cojuhuarenco, Shteynberg, Gelfland, et al. (2012) also show how gender and self concept impact ethical decision making as much as the normative ethical culture in the organization. An abundance of research reveals the detrimental effects of unethical behavior in organizations (Askew, Beisler & Keel, 2015). Given the deleterious effects of unethical behavior… Continue Reading...
that specific time period. Second, Sarah also has a degree of personal responsibility. After all, it was her shift to begin with. Kelly was going to be doing Sarah a favor, and Sarah is reacting in a way that shows how she is abnegating her personal responsibility. Sarah should have phoned Kelly to remind her of the shift change.

The Amish view healthcare largely as a matter of personal responsibility. Each person has a personal responsibility to follow a minimalist lifestyle in general, which essentially prevents some of the healthcare problems plaguing Americans. For example, smoking and drinking are prohibited in Amish communities (Cleveland Clinic, 2017). Surgical procedures, dental work, anesthesia, blood transfusions, and even some organ transplants are permitted but only when absolutely necessary (Cleveland Clinic, 2017). Relying on medicine, treatments, and interventions as little as possible, the Amish keep their collective healthcare costs down, and use complementary, folk, or… Continue Reading...
of the government to handle difficulties. (Graham et.al 2009)
Conservatives emphasize on individual liberty, personal responsibility and free markets. In this case the government’s role should be to empower people to be able to pursue their goals and solve their own problems. (Lakoff, 1997)
Both liberals and conservatives have various policies. The first policy we will talk about is death penalty. According to liberals, death penalty is ‘cruel and unusual’ and it should be abolished as every instance such an execution is made, there is a risk of killing an innocent person. However, conservatives believe that death penalty is the ideal punishment for any… Continue Reading...
systems, particularly with regards to the concept of Total Quality Control (TQC). The TQC concept distributes personal responsibility for quality control to each team within the organization, even within the most hierarchical and bureaucratic companies. Ishikawa also showed how TQC could provide industrial and manufacturing firms with competitive advantage.
Ishikawa’s concept of TQC is explicated in his 1988 book What is Total Quality Control? The Japanese Way. In this book, Ishikawa discusses first the importance of quality control as an ethical principle. Quality control is about respecting the customer, and not sacrificing quality and especially safety in large-scale production facilities. In mass-production methods, it can be… Continue Reading...
all the while criticizing the government for not supporting small businesses. The refusal to take personal responsibility for their own problems is something that needs to be addressed frankly. Hochschild builds her argument around the central assumption that conservative voters act on their emotions and a sense of cultural solidarity.
Hochschild (2016) captures the deep and disturbing levels of hypocrisy that allow the great paradox to perpetuate itself. The poorest conservatives, for example, will accept their food stamps and other social services like Medicare but they will also refuse to break party lines. The ultra-poor conservatives therefore opt out of voting entirely, choosing disenfranchisement over… Continue Reading...
political institutions to become more ethical: something that requires personal responsibility. A top-down method of imposing communism or other regimented, authoritarian regimes does not work, but inspiring individual human beings to reach their highest potential by caring for others and refusing to succumb to mob mentality does work. The core ethical principles are outlined in the gospel, but anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear can hearken to the call for improving the quality of life for all human beings. While Francis does come close to offering too much naive sympathy for armed uprisings in the… Continue Reading...
personal responsibility and introspection as the key to right living. The Tao is itself "an attitude, state of mind or way of being in the world," ("History of the Tao de Ching," 1). One general gist of the Tao de Ching is that individuals possess the power to transform the world by changing themselves, by living in… Continue Reading...
remainder of the planet, and is an isolationist policy that abnegates personal responsibility.
Another one of the dangers of fusing Church and State is theocracy. The dangers of theocracy are well known to those all around the world. Ruling in the name of religion often fuses power, politics, and greed in highly destructive ways. True ethics and genuine moral vision for the future of humanity lies in a middle ground. Politics and religion can remain peers, but have reign in their own respective domains. In fact, scripture agrees. As much as scripture supports a worldview based on Christian values, it does… Continue Reading...
himself as a theologian, one who felt an intense personal responsibility to travel, preach, and teach to people in variable geographical and cultural conditions. It is impossible to fully understand Paul without understanding Paul’s self-conscious relationship with Judaism. One of the main themes of Pauline letters is that Judaism had become outdated, irrelevant, or insincere: what Scholz (2013) calls a “narrow and legalistic system based on rigid set of Torah-based demands,” (p. 21). Paul developed a distinctly “pejorative view” of Judaism and became a self-defined “outsider” to the religion that would have been his main milieu (Scholz, 2013, p.… Continue Reading...
resistance will be that my change plan demands a higher level of personal responsibility. My perception is that there are many people within the organization that are floating. Performance measure are largely based on historical precedent, which means people only need to perform to the level of their past performance. But such an approach does not drive excellence. By implementing more proactive performance measures, I believe that the organization will be better equipped going forward to meet the challenges of the future. But part of the plan is specifically to identify underperformers and either raise their level or to encourage them to… Continue Reading...
