Define the four personality types and how they relate to you.

Deliverable 1 – DISC Assessment

Competency

This competency will allow you to demonstrate your ability to discover leadership skills as an individual, group, or at the organizational level and identify these skills through self-practice.

Instructions

For today’s workforce, collaborating with colleagues is essential for success. Your organization wants you to take a DISC assessment to learn more about your personality style. DISC is a personality assessment tool that focuses on behavioral characteristics that are grouped together into four personality styles. People with similar personality scores tend to exhibit specific behavioral characteristics common to that profile. Each of these personality styles has unique preferences for communication, behavior, and leadership. Being aware of your preferences allows you to better understand how you might react in certain situations. Being aware of others’ preferences allows you to better communicate with those personality styles.

Conduct an Internet search for a free DISC personality test; take the test and save your results, including the web site’s URL.

You will use these results for reflecting on how your personality can affect your decisions in a professional environment.

Define the four personality types and how they relate to you.

Create a summary report to management that describes a hardening technique that addresses each issue listed above.

As a security administrator for Always Fresh, you have been instructed to ensure that Windows authentication, networking, and data access are hardened. This will help to provide a high level of security.

The following are issues to be addressed through hardening techniques:

Ø Previous attempts to protect user accounts have resulted in users writing long passwords down and placing them near their workstations. Users should not write down passwords or create passwords that attackers could easily guess, such as words founds in the dictionary.

Ø Every user, regardless of role, must have at least one unique user account. A user who operates in multiple roles may have multiple unique user accounts. Users should use the account for its intended role only.

Ø Anonymous users of the web server applications should only be able to access servers located in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). No anonymous web application users should be able to access any protected resources in the Always Fresh IT infrastructure.

Ø To protect servers from attack, each server should authenticate connections based on the source computer and user.

Tasks

Create a summary report to management that describes a hardening technique that addresses each issue listed above. Provide rationale for each selection.

Due to the Always Fresh expansion, management wants additional network controls to protect their growing network

discuss the role of video games in learning.

In Chapter 4 of the textbook, Willis and Mitchell (2014) discuss the role of video games in learning. While some folks think that gamification is a recent trend, we can find examples of “gamified learning” from the mid-1980s (Knewton, n.d.). Gamification, as the trend is sometimes called, can be an effective tool for instructional designers, teachers, trainers, and facilitators; and it can also be called a useless distraction, pointsification, or mandatory fun. This discussion will be a debate about the merits of gamification in learning.

Debate Grouping (based on the first letter of your last name): B

A-L: Argue against the use of gamification in learningIn your initial post, use research about how the brain learns to justify the appropriateness or inappropriateness of gaming as a learning tool. Whichever position you take, be sure to support your justification with information from the textbook (Willis & Mitchell, 2014) or other scholarly sources such as the Bruder (2015) article listed in the recommended resources section.

Assignment 3: Moneyball
Moneyball, a book by Michael Lewis (2003), highlights how creativity, framing, and robust technical analysis all played a part in the development of a new approach to talent management in baseball.

Write a critique of the article including the following points:

Examine why sabermetric-based player evaluation is such a shock to other executives in baseball.
Evaluate why Beane is much more effective in his success by constructing a matrix of pitfalls and heuristics that highlight the differences between Beane’s team and other executives.
Moneyball highlights how people tend to overestimate the likelihood of success and end up facing financial loss—in this case, it meant forfeiting millions of dollars. Analyze a professional or personal decision (yours or otherwise) that highlights this predilection in spite of substantial losses.
Explain how you would apply Moneyball’s management lessons in your own endeavors.
Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc.
