Leadership and Decision Making Decisions are the cornerstone to a great leader and if you are an indecisive person you will never be able to lead effectively. “When we think of what makes someone a great leader, one characteristic that comes to mind is decisiveness. We do not envision successful leaders standing around appearing unclear and uncertain” (Kase, 2010). Recently my own decision making skills were determined through an assessment test. My score reflected that I am in the category…

A complex C2 system is an integrated combination of people, procedures, and equipment used to enhance the ability of the individual performing command and control.

The five-stage process that specifically relates to high involvement decision making consists of problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post purchase evaluation. So for this process, my example will be of a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse that I purchased last October. Problem Recognition: I had an old 2002 Chevrolet Suburban that had many problems and way over 100,000 miles. The amount of problems it had was too costly to fix so I became aware of…

We all know that in certain cases a jury’s decision is needed and can lead to someone being not guilty or guilty.

Sofa to Represent Our Sorority Throughout the multiple years that the Eta Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma at Lynchburg College has been established; we have been in dire need of a new sofa. We initially received a donated sofa from our Alpha chapter at Longwood in 2007. However, as the years have gone by the sofa has aged unpleasantly: the material is slowly detaching itself, the springs are coming out of the bottom, there is no longer a cushion, and we have wooden boards preventing us from…

Depression is a mood disorder. Teenagers often experience mood swings that cause them to feel good on one day, and become moody and miserable the next day. Depression can sometimes be misinterpreted as being in a bad mood but depression is more complicated. When depressed, the mind is taken over by worries, criticism, guilt and thoughts of suicide.
