As with all of the assignments for this class, first make sure to thoroughly review the required background materials. Make sure you fully understand the concepts of the Johari Window as well as Transactional Analysis. You need to have a solid understanding of these important concepts in order to successfully complete this assignment.
We will once again be applying the concepts from this module to your own experiences as a way of finding potential ways to develop your leadership skills. For this assignment, choose a current or former supervisor or subordinate and think carefully about how the concepts from the Johari Window and Transactional Analysis applies to this current or previous supervisor/subordinate relationship. Think carefully about the flow of information and communication between the two of you, and also times when either of you behaved as “adults,” “parents,” or “children” in your dealings with each other. Don’t worry, this assignment will be purely between you and your instructor so feel free to be as honest and self-reflective as you can.
More specifically, write a five page paper answering the following questions below. Make sure to cite at least one of the required readings in each answer, and to cite at least three sources total from the background readings in your paper:
Using a Johari Window analysis, what do you think some of your supervisor’s or subordinate’s blind spots are? What do you think some of your potential blind spots might be?
Also using a Johari Window analysis, what kind of hidden spots did you keep between you and your supervisor or subordinate? Did you suspect your supervisor or subordinate of having hidden spots?
Based on your answers to Questions 1 and 2 above as well as the required readings, how might Johari Window analysis be used to improve this supervisor/subordinate relationship that you wrote about in the above two answers?
Using Transactional Analysis, give some specific examples of when you and your supervisor or subordinate acted like “parents,” “children,” or “adults.” And be honest—we all act like “children” sometimes in the workplace.
Based on your answer to Question 4 and the required readings, how do you think this supervisor/subordinate relationship might have been improved using Transactional Analysis?

Helen’s Wisdom of Friends Dilemma (graded)
Helen wants to move to a new community, and she is applying for a job with a small retail establishment. She is confident that she is fully qualified and will be able to perform well if she gets the job. The employer, however, has advertised for someone with three years of retail experience, and Helen only has two-and-a-half years. She is considering whether to exaggerate slightly on her resume in order to improve her chances of getting the job.
Helen asks three friends to offer their advice on what she should do.
— Henry says, “Go ahead and claim three-and-a-half years of experience; they’re going to be so happy with your work that by the time they check (if they ever do) it won’t matter.”
— Jennifer says, “I’m sure you’ll arrive at the best decision on your own; I’ve always known you to be an honest person.”
— George says, “It is never all right to lie, even when you are unlikely to get caught and it seems relatively harmless to do so.”
To begin our discussion this week, let’s discuss some of the following questions:
1. Which of the Three Primary Schools of Ethics is each of Helen’s friends relying upon?
2. Can you imagine other people using the same approaches to arrive at different kinds of advice?
3. Do one of these Three Primary Schools of Ethics feel like the style you usually use already?
dq 2
Study of Ethical Philosophy (graded)
The study of Ethics and Philosophy is one which brings many different kinds of “thinkers” together. One person’s philosophy on Ethics is another person’s philosophy on Evil. We will be working this term on constructing personal ethical bases and understanding how Ethical Codes (both personal and professional) are created and followed.
To start us thinking about the different areas of philosophy and ethics, and how we fit into the different molds or world views, let’s discuss the differences and similarities between these views.
To do this, let’s look at the role of right and wrong, laws which regulate behavior, principles vs. morality, and the role of ethics in our society.
To start out we’ll answer some of these questions and create more of them as we go. Pick one of the following and respond to your classmates thoughts and views:
1. Do we need ethics if we have laws? Why or why not?
2. Is it ethical to change our own views of ethics based on the situation we are in?
3. Can we “legislate” ethics?
4. How does Aristotle’s “virtue ethics” mirror your ethical view, or how is it different?

Spring 2017 Take Home Quiz #2
DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ON MONDAY, MARCH 6
This quiz is intended as an individual take-home quiz. Each student is expected to hand in his/her
own work. While you are free to consult with me for any questions you may have, you may not
discuss the exam with other students. E-mail questions about the exam should be sent to my
personal e-mail address (dcpopp@maxwell.syr.edu), rather than the class listserv. This is an openbook quiz. You are free to consult your notes and the readings from the class to complete the quiz.
Take the time to think before you write. Well-thought out, well-written answers will be rewarded.
A direct, concise explanation is better than a five-page treatise. I am not just looking for how
much you know, but how well you are able to communicate what you do know, which includes
filtering through information to highlight the most relevant points. In addition, pay attention to
the target audience. For this assignment, your memo should be accessible to someone with limited
economics expertise. Such memos should be written in a professional manner. The assignments
page of the class web site provides a link to an article with suggestions for effective professional
writing.
The quiz is due AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS on MONDAY, MARCH 6. Late exams give
you an unfair advantage over other students in the class. As a result, late exams will be marked
down one grade for each day late, starting AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS on MONDAY,
MARCH 6. If you will not be in class on Monday, it is your responsibility to get the exam to me
BEFORE CLASS. Do not just leave the exam in my mailbox, as I need to know when you hand
the exam in. There is a sign-in sheet at the front desk of CPR for this purpose. Best Policies for Best Practice Management
New York State’s Department of Conservation (DEC) is seeking your advice to improve
water quality in the Finger Lakes region. Concerned about increased wastewater runoff from
agriculture, the DEC is looking for new ways to encourage best management practices (BMP) in
agriculture. Best management practices include simple changes to crop management to more
complex management of fertilizer and related runoff. Examples of BMPs include:1 1 Conservation Tillage – leaving crop residue (plant materials from past harvests) on the
soil surface reduces runoff and soil erosion, conserves soil moisture, helps keep
nutrients and pesticides on the field, and improves soil, water, and air quality;
Crop Nutrient Management – fully managing and accounting for all nutrient inputs
helps ensure nutrients are available to meet crop needs while reducing nutrient
movements off fields. It also helps prevent excessive buildup in soils and helps protect
air quality; Source: https://cfpub.epa.gov/watertrain/moduleFrame.cfm?parent_object_id=1362,
Page 2 of 3 Pest Management – varied methods for keeping insects, weeds, disease, and other pests
below economically harmful levels while protecting soil, water, and air quality;
Conservation Buffers – from simple grassed waterways to riparian areas, buffers
provide an additional barrier of protection by capturing potential pollutants that might
otherwise move into surface waters. The DEC is considering four different policy options. Each is described below:
Reverse Auction
In a reverse auction, sellers offer to sell a product at a specific price, allowing the buyer to
choose the seller offering the lowest price. As described in the reading, one such reverse auction
took place in the Conestoga Watershed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 2006. To bid, a farmer offers
to implement a BMP project, providing the environmental agency with both the amount of
phosphorus reduced by the project and the amount of money the farmer would accept to implement
the project. Note that the amount a farmer would accept could exceed the cost of the project itself.
Environmental technicians from the Lancaster County Conservation District helped farmers
calculate the phosphorus savings that would result from a project. Bids were ranked by the cost
per unit of phosphorus reduction. Based on this ranking, officials established a cut-off price at the
point where their budget of $450,000 would be exhausted. All bids with a price per pound of
phosphorus reduction below this cut-off won funding from the government.
Effluent fees
The Netherlands provide an example where effluent fees were used to manage non-point
source pollution. Farmers pay a tax on the annual net balance of nutrients in excess of a levy-free
minimum. The annual net balance of nutrients is calculated using the Dutch Mineral Accounting
System (MINAS). Each farmer must account for the nitrogen and phosphorus content of their
inputs and outputs. Nitrogen and phosphorus may come onto the farm in many forms, including
feed, livestock, fodder, manure, and chemical fertilizer. It leaves the farm in the form of things
such as livestock, forage, manure, grain, milk, and eggs. Farmers record the amount of nitrogen
and phosphorus that comes onto their farm and the amount that leaves it. The difference between
these is the farm’s mineral loss or surplus. For example, if the nitrogen contained in a farm’s inputs
exceeds the nitrogen contained in the farm’s outputs by 100 kilograms (kg), it is assumed that the
farm released 100 kg into the environment. Farms are charged 9 Euros per kg for phosphate
releases above a set limit and 2.3 Euros per kg of nitrogen above a set limit.
Calculating the net balance of phosphorous and nitrogen requires detailed information.
While the Dutch mineral tax relies on self-reporting by farmers, basic information is made
available to them through the government. Feed suppliers are required to send annual feed and
feed supplement purchase reports to the Tax Office of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture. MINAS
returns must be accompanied by documentation, such as receipts for livestock and manure
shipments, as well as the results of laboratory tests of nutrient content in manure. The Ministry of
Agriculture carries out audits of farms and other agricultural establishments with reporting
requirements. Page 3 of 3
Completing the annual net balance of nutrients is time consuming. Representatives of
Dutch farm organizations note that most farmers hire a consultant to assist them in preparing the
report. Analysts report that the paperwork burden is comparable to filing farm income taxes, with
similar paperwork and documentation requirements. The Dutch extension service provides
assistance and training on working with the accounting system.
Tax credits2
The state of Pennsylvania provides tax credits to support BMP through their Resource
Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program. The state has a fixed budget designed to support BMP
projects, which typically is about $10 million per year. Successful applicants receive tax credits that
cover between 50-75% of BMP project costs. Credits are awarded to eligible applicants on a firstcome, first-served basis. REAP tax credits may be used to pay Pennsylvania state income tax for up to
15 years. The tax credits are transferable, so that farmers who do not owe taxes can sell the credit to
someone else to use. Farmers may also recruit sponsors to help finance the BMP project. The sponsor
pays the project installation costs and receives the resulting tax credits. Fertilizer tax
Given the challenges of monitoring non-point source pollution, other states simply choose to
tax fertilizer, as it is a major source of nitrogen and phosphate runoff. For example, the state of
Colorado charges a $0.60/ton fee, of which $0.50 is designated for groundwater protection.
You have been asked to prepare a 3-5 page memo that consider the effectiveness of each of the
above policies and recommends a path forward for the DEC. As officials have little background in
economics, you have been asked to explain the benefits and concerns of these programs in an
intuitive, non-technical manner. Your memo should explain the need for policy by saying why
farmers are less likely to implement BMP without such policies in place. For each policy, your memo
should discuss the following points: 2 Briefly describe how each program encourages farmers to implement best management
practices.
How well does each program keep implementation costs of BMP projects low?
Environmental policies can have various uncertainties, such as the final level of
reductions or the costs of compliance. What is uncertain in each of the programs
above?
What challenges to implementing these policies should regulators be aware of?
Which program would you recommend be adopted in the Finger Lakes region? Why? Much of this information comes from

Three sources in total needed.
o One source will be the textbook, this will be easy for the explanation
portion. Select and use two outside sources to help support your opinion.
Make sure the sources are credible, not a rant on reddit. Remember,
don’t quote from your sources too much. Your words are the important
part. Don’t be afraid to say “I”!
How do I do this, let alone start it?
o Pick a topic that you feel confident that you could discuss in a debate. If
most topics seem outside your realm, then pick what’s most familiar. Pick
a side, for or against. Search for sources that say the same as you. Outline
your thoughts, then fill it in with details. Try to really analyze what you’re
saying, always making sure it’s a sound argument. If you happen to have
one idea going into it and change your mind after research, then talk
about this experience. Most of the paper should be the third part, your
argument. If you need more to reach the page limit, then go back to this
section and expound on your main points. Your goal is to persuade your
audience. Keeping them interested and entertained should also be
considered! ?
Can we get an example?
o Sure! Here’s a quick introduction snippet to give you an idea:
o Careless fiscal budget overruns are rampant in the U.S. and are spiraling
out of control. These foolish, futile attempts to boost the economy have
left businesses in the chokehold of high interest debt, due to being
crowded-out of the financial markets from State borrowing. I’ll be
discussing how Uncle Sam has wasted limited investment dollars, starving
businesses, for the sake of growth and how we can fix our missteps for
the future, focusing on long-term gains rather than short-term ones.
