    ...Understand own ability to fulfil key responsibilities of the leadership role Leadership is the ability to pinpoint values or objectives which can be reached through encouragement and a cohesive effort through the gradual assistance to the members of the team. The objective can be reached through persistence and insistence in such a way that members are not irritated or discouraged. In a particular company the commercial Department has four branches the Sales team, Business Sales, Customer Experience and Marketing Teams. We will evaluate leadership roles incorporating different Leadership Styles and how they impact the Customer Experience Team and the Sales Team. The Customer Experience team evaluates the importance of understanding the client, empathising and providing solutions for their queries in a convenient time frame. The clients’ degree of satisfaction dictates the choice of decisions. The democratic approach shows and indicates that once the team members feel important because they are involved they do willingly provide a better service and once they come across some problem or some difficulty they are more prone to discuss it with their supervisor and in so doing they achieve client satisfaction in a quicker manner (Kurt Lewin, 1939).

    ...Unit 1 Assignment 1 Chapter Review and Visual Argument As you can see from this visual argument, it used to be that your grades depended on you. If you had a bad grade, it was because of your lack of trying and commitment to your schoolwork. Now, children tell their parents that it is the Teacher’s fault that their grades are bad, which causes the parents to get mad at the teacher. In the 1969 timeframe, you can see that the parents are disapproving and demanding a reason for the bad grade from the son. The son is upset and sad because of his bad grades, and must now explain why they are bad. If you look at the report card the dad is holding, the sun has a 2, a 3, a 4, and a 0. In the 2009 timeframe, the parents are angry with the teacher about the grades, and the son is happy because the fault is no longer his. The son has the same grades in each of the frames, but in the 2009, the teacher is the one that is upset because she doesn’t know how to explain the grades. The reason for this visual argument is because to explain that, over the years, people have been led to believe that they can do no wrong. They are fed the idea that everything can be blamed on someone else; in this case the bad grades can be blamed on the teacher. This deflects the anger from the parents from the child to the teacher. Step 1: Understanding Context: What background information do you need to know in order to read this...
