Here are just a few questions that I would like you to consider as you listen to and reflect on Sandberg’s talk:

How does our gender impact and inform our leadership styles?
How do talented and successful women thrive?
How do you connect to Sandberg’s 3 powerful pieces of advice for women who want to “own their success”?
How can we not only find success for ourselves, but also reach out to lift our sisters up as well?

#2

After identifying key words/ideas that stand out to you from Leary’s podcast and key ideas/strategies for success from Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk in this module, connect these words, ideas, and strategies to your own concept of success and self-leadership. As you do this, think about how gender plays a role in leadership overall, and specifically how it influences your own concept of success and self-leadership.

Negative Message

Negative Message

Task: Choose one of the situations below and write an appropriate message. Audiences and formats are built into each problem. Make up whatever details you feel are necessary and develop your case.

Grading criteria: In this assignment, retaining goodwill is important – you might need the recipient’s services in the future. Be attentive to how you use credibility, audience emotions, etc. All aspects of communication matter. “Organization” includes how present the negative information (direct or indirect approach). “Self expression” is about maintaining goodwill. “Language use” includes tone.

Credit Refusal
You are the manager of Sports Warehouse, a new sporting goods store near the mall. Your store policy is to offer in-store credit accounts for customers who have good jobs and excellent credit. This week, you received a credit application from Maja Patel, a full-time graduate student at Brookfield University and an avid sports enthusiast. Maja went from high school to college, then to graduate school without ever working full time. She has few assets but not many liabilities because her parents paid for all of her expenses until she started graduate school. She is scheduled to graduate with a master’s degree next year. You have decided to refuse her credit application but you do not want to upset her because she will hopefully become a good customer after graduation. Write a credit refusal message to Maja, but retain goodwill.

Work Request Refusal
You have been out of school for five years now and things are going well. You earned your degree and are now successfully operating your own business consulting firm (you pick the area of expertise). Business is good; in fact, it is so good that you find it difficult to keep up with all of the requests for your services. One of your best clients has just asked you to take on a huge new project that would create enough work to keep your whole organization busy for three months. One of the things that you refuse to do, however, is accept more work than you can handle in an efficient, effective way for your clients. In this case, you have other commitments, so you must turn down this request. Write a message to your client explaining the situation and suggest possible alternative solutions to their needs.

Project Management Fail
You are the project manager for a specialized software company called ByteWare. Although your project management skills are quite good, you do occasionally run into unforeseen circumstances that lead to less-than-ideal results. Halfway through the installation of a new document management system (DMS) for an important client, you realize that you underestimated the complexity of linking this new DMS to the company’s existing document storage and retrieval system. Although your current contract with the firm allows for a 20 percent budget overrun, you have an established track record for completing projects on time and within budget. This time, however, you have the unpleasant task of explaining to your client that the project will take two weeks longer to complete than expected and will be fully 20 percent over budget. Carefully craft a message to your client and inform her of the situation.

A. Review your Individual Development Plan from Topic 3 and the coaching and mentoring techniques you are considering for your mentee. How does your plan or your proposed techniques align with Christian values and principles? Be sure to specifically define two Christian values or principles in your response.

B. As a mentor, how will you help to identify key elements you want your mentee to include in the Individual Development Plan? Is there a difference between coaching and mentoring activities? Describe the importance of agreed-upon goals in an Individual Development Plan. In what ways will you go about achieving these goals?

File #1
The individual development plan outline
Personal vision statement: Improve the life of a mentee both professionally and also outside the work area.
Short time career goals (9-12 months):
Introduction: Help mentee familiarize with the mentor.
Support for improvement: Ensure effective learning.
Career development: Assist in classifying and supporting possible capacity.
Long term careers goals (2-5 years)
Support and counsel: Listen and challenge
Give constructive feedback: Ask open and closed questions
Coach and demonstrate skills: Identify strengths and weaknesses, establish priorities, identify developmental needs, give information and advice, share experience and tell stories.
Behavioral assessment is one of the coaching technique. The Personal Profile Analysis takes into account the behavior in a work situation and helps the mentor to compare the self-image and workingbehavior under pressure. The second technique is the enneagram. It is a character model that describes sensible and insensiblebehavior, beginning from people’s core fears and inspirations. The model provides understandings into one’s own personality and one’s relationship with other.
Reflective listening is a skill in mentorship that includes try to find understanding in what the mentee is talking about, encouraging the mentee to replicate on what they tell the mentor and said to simplify their understanding. Reflective listening suggests reflective conversation.Active questioning is another skill of mentoring people. It supplements reflective listening, and therefore can help the mentee to accomplish their goals. Examining questions help to pursue additional information and inspire the mentee to reason and discover solutions on their own.

Code of Ethics for Computing Technology

Code of Ethics for Computing Technology

Project Objectives
1. Demonstrate competency regarding the application of the frameworks 2. Examine and reflect on your own decision making process?3. Examine and reflect on your use of computing technology
You must
?• use the provided template?• use Microsoft Word, or submit a PDF version of your file • meet ALL specifications, including:
a. be personal and truthful; do not make anything up?b. have 6 distinct—regard different issues—principles addressing your use of
computing technology c. use the template
• correctly apply each of the 5 foundational frameworks (see supplementary reading handout and example below) ONCE
• apply your own framework ONCE?• Cite Birsch, Quinn, or the handout, for frameworks (I did this for you) • be well organized?• be edited for grammar/spelling errors?• be formally written
Note: NOT substantial in terms of length; note that IEEE’s code of ethics is only one page. You will be graded on substance, not quantity.
Part I?
For this part, explore the process you use to make ethical decisions. Are you religious? Logical? Intuitive? Other?
1. Write at least one paragraph where you explore/reflect on your decision making process (your framework). ?
2. Write a methodology that others can use to apply your framework. Your framework should resemble the foundational ones, including numbered steps. ?
Part II?
Write your own personal code of ethics annotated with justifications that provide a full- fledged rationale for your choice of principles. You need 6 distinct principals that address your relationship with/use of computing technology. In the entire final, you must use each of the frameworks we covered in class once and your own framework:
1. Kant’s 1stand 2ndformulations of the categorical imperative (considered one framework) ?
2. act utilitarian and Rawls’s Theory of Justice (considered one framework) ?
3. rule utilitarian ?
4. social contract theory or moral rights ?
5. virtue Ethics ?
6. your own framework ?
You need to write a preamble that will provide additional information regarding your principals. For example, if your principles address your employment, you should include a preamble explaining your responsibilities.
Use the Example Format below for all your principles.?For example, using Kant’s categorical imperative (taken from the text; you may not use this one).
Note that this principle does not address the use of computing technology.
Principle 1: I will not make promises in extreme situations with the intent of breaking them.
According to Kant’s first formulation of his categorical imperative (Quinn, 2012), (1) the maxim would be it is OK to make false promises in extreme situations. (2) If everyone made false promises in extreme circumstances, (3) then promises would be meaningless; promises would cease to exist. However, I want to make promises and will not be able to if promises are meaningless. As a result, this rule is self-defeating when it is made into a universal law. (4) Therefore, it is not ethical to make promises with the intent of breaking them.
According to Kant’s second formulation of his categorical imperative (Quinn, 2012), (1) when you lie to someone you are using them as a means to an end. You are manipulating them to behave in a manner that benefits you. (2) As a result, according to the second formulation, this act would be unethical.
Kant’s 1stand 2ndformulation found the act to be unethical. As a result, making promising in extreme situations with the intent of breaking them is unethical.
You need not address the problems applying the frameworks. At this point in time, you should be able to select the most appropriate framework for the issue at hand.
