Discussion 3

Attacks on our national infrastructure are already happening. The expectation is that they will continue to increase at an accelerated rate. For this week’s discussion, we’ll cover threats to our nation’s pipelines. To get started:

  • Read Chapters 4 & 5 covering the principles of Diversity and Commonality
  • Additionally, read this article: https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060054924

Then, you must do the following:

1) Create a new thread and discuss how the types of threats discussed in the article above could impact our economy. Be sure to synthesize how implementing Diversity and Commonality (as discussed in chapters 4 and 5) could help mitigate these threats.

2) Select AT LEAST 2 other students’ threads and reply with substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread. 

  • ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)
  • You must post a starting thread and reply to two others to receive full credit (50% your post + 25% first reply + 25% second reply = 100%).
  • Weak posts and replies will lower grade.
  • Strong posts and article references supporting your statements will raise grade.

1. The Phases of Decision Making states that the first phase is to identify and diagnose the problem and the second phase is to generate alternative solution. For this forum, recall a decision you recently made at work and complete steps 1 – 6 in the phases of decision making. 

Please write at least a page and follow the APA format. 

Week Two Overview

The best managers are always making decisions.  Decision making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities.  The process isn’t as easy as people think.  Managers need to analyze each aspect before reaching a decision. Managerial decision making is one of the most critical processes in every organization.  Successful and effective decision making has the potential for great benefit and great loss. 

Overall, the decision-making process involves several important steps.  Each step requires different tools and techniques. 

The main steps in the decision-making process:

  1. problem identification
  2. information gathering
  3. analyzing the choices and brainstorming
  4. evaluation of the alternatives
  5. picking the best alternative
  6. executing the decision
  7. evaluating the results

Throughout the process managers must set a baseline to judge alternatives and decisions appropriately.  The corporate culture and goals should also be considered along with ethical, societal, and legal aspects.

Research and select three leadership theories. Explain how you will implement those theories in your leadership style. Be sure to include specific examples and articulate how the theory influences the outcome. Use this document to draft your initial post. The post must follow the APA style of writing.

Leadership Theory Implementation of the leadership theory in your leadership style   Leadership theory influences the outcome
1. Participative Theory is the extent to which a leader involves others in making decisions for which the leader has formal authority and responsibility (Bryman, 2011, p. 287). Leaders who frequently use empowering decision procedures are called participative leaders. *Note: In this column, list one of your top three leadership theories.         As the Academic Dean of Languages, Arts, and Social Sciences, I make all the final decisions regarding the schedule of classes. However, I do not compile the schedule of classes without the help of my Associate Deans and Executive Assistant. Because I empower my subordinates to develop the schedule based on their educational discipline, my style of leadership would imply participative. According to the text, participation in decision making is to solicit the input of others to make decisions (Bateman, Snell, & Konopaske, 2019, p. 351). I have the formal authority and responsibility of the schedule, but I allow others to assist which produces a more robust-inclusive offering of courses. *Note: How is the theory implemented in your everyday work. Because my leadership style is participative in developing the schedule of classes, the college has a better schedule due to collaboration. This participative style influences the outcome because of choice-variety in the schedule from semester-to-semester. *Note: What is the outcome (if any) of your leadership theory to the desired task or goal.  
2. *Note: Follow example above for #2        
3. *Note: Follow example above for #3

Week 2 Discussion

There were several important themes in chapter 1. Here are a few quotes:

“Policy-making and its subsequent implementation is necessary to deal with societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015)

“Policy-making is driven by the need to solve societal problems and should result in interventions to solve these societal problems.”  (Janssen, 2015)

“Examples of societal problems are unemployment, pollution, water quality, safety, criminality, well-being, health, and immigration.”  (Janssen, 2015)

The author of chapter 1 discusses several developments that influence policy-making. Select one of the developments in chapter 1 and describe how that development can influence policy to solve a specific problem.

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, select one of the developments in chapter 1 and describe how that development can influence policy to solve a specific problem.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread. 

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)
