Wk 2 Discussion 1 – Transactional and Transformative Leadership Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following: Describe the key principles of transactional and transformational leadership. Do you consider these leadership styles to be mutually exclusive? Based on your experience in a current or previous leadership role, analyze ways in which your leadership style could be considered a blend of transactional and transformational. 

 Discuss the ethical implications of a leader’s role in the socialization of new hires into the preexisting culture of an organization. What responsibility does a company have to inform newly hired persons that it wants to shape their values, perceptions, and behavior to conform to the organization’s culture? What impact does the leader’s informed values and individual behavior have on organizational effectiveness? Considering the Christian concept of putting others before oneself as well as what you have learned in this course about servant leadership and conscious capitalism; explain the impact on company culture and organizational effectiveness. 

 
Communication is a continuous process. Expressing your needs and solutions is better received when using “”I” messages instead of accusatory messages (which can cause a person to shut-down and not communicate).
Assertiveness, or assertion, is standing up for personal rights and expressing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in direct, honest, and appropriate ways that do not violate another person’s rights.
Assertiveness involves the use of “I” messages, for example: “This is what I think.” “This is what I feel.” “This is how I see the situation.” These types of messages express “who the person is” and are said without dominating, humiliating, or degrading the other person.
“Assertiveness involves respect—not deference. Deference is acting in a subservient manner as though the other person is right or better simply because the other person is older, more powerful, experienced, knowledgeable, or is of a different sex or race. Deference is present when people express themselves in ways that are self-effacing, appeasing, or overly apologetic.”  With assertion, one must communicate respect for self and for others.
There are six basic types of assertive messages. With a specific person in mind, write your six assertive messages to her/him. 
I want statements help to clarify to both yourself and others what you really want. For example, “I want you to call when you are going to be late.”
I feel statements help express your feelings without attacking the other per- son. For example, “I feel embarrassed when you criticize my clothes in front of my friends.”
Mixed feelings statements name more than one feeling and explain where each is coming from. For example, “I enjoy going out and doing things with you, yet I feel it is unfair that you frequently do not bring enough money and ask me to pay for you.”
Empathic assertion presents some sensitive understanding about the other person and then expresses how you feel. For example, “I know you said that you are angry and do not want to talk about it. However, I feel we need to talk about it when you feel ready.”
Confrontive assertion is necessary when there are contradictions such as differences between what a person says and what she or he does. For example, “I know you said you would teach the newer students some of the beginning information as part of your internship, yet you consistently put them off or do not show up for appointments.
 I language assertion is useful for expressing difficult negative feelings. For example, “When you cancel a weekend event with me because you say you are busy working and then I find out you went out with someone else, I feel rejected and humiliated. I need for you to be honest with me about why you do things or it could damage our friendship.”

Risk Register ExerciseThis week’s exercise will be to create a Risk Register for your selected project. Additional instructions are in the Word template. You must use the template provided.You will complete the attached Risk Register in attached template. A risk needs to be identified for each of your six (6) Key Deliverables (this would be listed under the Category column). This needs to be a thorough, well thought out risk register which provides detailed thought and consideration. An example of the Risk Register is available in Exhibit 11.9 on page 370 of the textbook.The following is a description of what should go under each column.Risk Description: Identify the Risk associated with the Deliverable.Impact: This is a narrative of potential impact if the risk should occur.Category: This will be the associated DeliverableProbability: This is a score of 1-5. A score of 1 would be if the probability of the risk occurring is very slight and a score of 5 is that is will almost likely occur.Impact: This is a score of 1-5. A score of 1 would be the impact would have little impact if the risk occurs and a score of 5 would be catastrophic impact if risk event occurs.
Score: This is the Probability multiplied by the Impact.Response Strategy/Solution: This should be a detailed plan on how to either limit the Probability of the risk event from occurring and/or a plan to reduce the Impact if it does occur. This must include direct correlation to the scores assigned to Probability/Impact. At least one of the risk response strategies from the textbook must be identified with course of action provided based on identified risk.

Overview
Hiring is one of the most critical aspects of being a leader. In order to have an effective hiring process, some important preparation must be done before the candidate search, shortlist selection, and interview processes even begin. This assignment is designed to allow you to practice the preparation phase of the hiring process. 
In the preparation phase, the hiring team creates a job description that includes all the hard and soft skills desired in candidates, as well as the key responsibilities of the role. After that, the team agrees upon a set of key competencies for the position. Finally, they develop a set of questions designed to enable you to interview candidates for those competencies. All candidates for the position are interviewed with the same set of questions, thus enabling the hiring team to compare candidates effectively.
