What Makes an Effective Leader?

 (I am doing this assignment individually so I am not apart of the team, so I just need this for myself)What Makes an Effective Leader? Compare and contrast what makes an effective leader (Characteristics of Effective leadership) with the findings from the leadership interview conducted (Evidence of Interviews).   By Thursday of M4, this TEAM Discussion on What Makes an Effective Leader? Use the results of your findings and subsequent discussion to complete this section for the final project:Comparison of Interview Results: You will compare the leaders with one another as well as to the literature review in the first section. What was consistent, what wasn’t consistent, how were the leaders different, were the leaders still effective regardless of different traits, what does this mean, etc.? (Those are just starter ideas). Length is about 300-400 words, but it does depend on the number of leaders interviewed and that depends on the number of team members. You will need to cite references to interviews as well as to the traits and characteristics from the earlier section.Characteristics of Effective leadership: This is a literature review of the key characteristics of effective leaders. How many traits or characteristics? Plan to research two times the number of team members.  If you have three members, then six would be appropriate. This also allows you to collaborate as well as share the work.  Each trait should be about 150 words and have at least one current and reliable citation. Also, the individual assignment M3 Application Assignment regarding a leadership interview.Evidence of Interviews: The evidence of interviews is where you can share (perhaps a paragraph on each leader) a summary of what was learned and how it related or didn’t relate to the researched traits. Each team member can draw from their application assignment to help with their portion. This is often a portion of what each member wrote for the summary of that application assignment. Length is about 300-400 words … a paragraph from each team member, so it does depend on the number of members, but we usually average 3-4 per team. Each person should create a reference for their interview and then it can be cited with your summary.It is highly recommended that you use the Team Project Template for the final projectWhen the assignment is complete one team member will submit the report to Submit Assignment button.This assignment is a Direct Measure assessment.

Describe the types of crises that infants, children, teenagers, young adults, middle-age and older individuals face using Erikson’s socioemotional development stages.

Development through the life span is a long journey, and too often, we forget to notice the connections from one point in development to another. For instance, how stable is personality over time and across situations?Some researchers suggest that personality traits identified early in life can be used to predict behaviors. Others indicated that personality characteristics change as a result of relationships and experiences. At the same time, the way we adapt to aging may also influence personality development.One of the most influential theories of socioemotional development comes from Erik Erikson (1902–1994). According to Erikson, human development is marked by eight psychosocial stages (Table 3, p. 3.6 in your webtext). Each of these stages is characterized by a developmental task or an emotional crisis that must be handled successfully to allow healthy psychological growth.Describe the types of crises that infants, children, teenagers, young adults, middle-age and older individuals face using Erikson’s socioemotional development stages.

Post a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of two strengths and two weaknesses of lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices.

 Some people strongly favor term limits for governmental officials. The U.S. practice regarding this issue differs among the three branches of government. There are term limits on the presidency, for instance, but none for members of Congress. For the Supreme Court, there are no term limits on justices, and they are never required to win election or re-election. Once appointed by the president, justices may serve for life. Thurgood Marshall, the great Supreme Court justice, was 81 years old when a reporter asked him when he planned to retire. Marshall responded, I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110 . . .In this Discussion, you will analyze strengths and weaknesses of lifetime appointments of Supreme Court justices and whether or not you believe lifetime appointments have a positive impact on American democracy.To prepare for this Discussion:With these thoughts in mind:Post a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of two strengths and two weaknesses of lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices.
