Whether you consider yourself a leader or not, by this point in your life you have had several leadership experiences. In this assignment, you will relate what you consider to be your personal best leadership experience.
To complete this assignment, follow these steps:
Describe your personal best leadership experience. This can be an experience that happened recently or even several years ago. Perhaps it was in high school or just last semester. It could have happened on a sports team, in a social organization, at church, with your family or friends, or in a group project. In a few paragraphs, write out what happened. Be sure to describe the situation, including who was involved, what your role was, and the outcomes.
Describe how you and others felt during the encounter and any specific leadership actions you took. How did you get the people involved? What were you feeling (anxious, nervous, proud, excited)? What do you think the other people were feeling? What specific leadership actions did you take? How did you motivate others?
Reread what you wrote for the previous steps and identify three to five leadership lessons that you took away from the experience.
Based on those leadership lessons, recommend one single piece of leadership advice you could give to someone else.
Consider the following scenario: Joanne has been with the same company for 6 years, working her way to IT manager. She has had four people reporting to her, and she has had a good relationship with her own supervisor who works remotely, giving Joanne plenty of autonomy. The company has recently undergone restructuring, however, and Joanne has been called into a meeting to review some imminent changes. Instead of the promotion she had been anticipating as a result of many extra hours and special projects, Joanne now will have eight direct reports but no increase in pay, while the two other managers at her level only have five direct reports. Joanne will have a new supervisor in the same office—a known micromanager with a penchant for unprofessional outbursts. In addition, she and the rest of the IT department will no longer be eligible for bonuses, and the company can no longer afford to match retirement funds. Can you predict the impact of these changes on Joanne’s job attitudes? If you were told that Joanne had no plans to leave the company, could you understand why, or would you be surprised?
In this Discussion, you will explain how POS, LMX, quality of supervisor-subordinate relationship, justice, or trust in management affect job attitudes using an example from your experience.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Read the article “Organizational Justice and Readiness for Change: A Concomitant Examination of the Mediating Role of Perceived Organizational Support and Identification.” Think about POS and justice regarding readiness for change and more broadly the impact on job attitudes.
Read the article “Perception Is Reality: Change Leadership and Work Engagement.” Think about LMX and how it can impact engagement and perceptions of change.
Read the article “Perceived Organizational Support: Why Caring About Employees Counts.” Consider the impact on job attitudes of POS, LMX, quality of supervisor-subordinate relationship, justice, and trust in management.
Read the article “The Impact of Employees’ Values on Role Engagement: Assessing the Moderating Effects of Distributive Justice.” Consider the impact of justice on engagement and job attitudes.
Read the article “Leader Psychological Capital and Employee Work Engagement: The Roles of Employee Psychological Capital and Team Collectivism.” Think about the trickle-down relationship of leader psychological capital on supervisor relationship, LMX, and its effect on engagement and job attitudes.
In your response, prepare to respond to a colleague who chose a different variable.
By Day 3
Post a response to the following:Provide an explanation of how one of the following—POS, LMX, quality of supervisor-subordinate relationship, justice, or trust in management—has been shown to affect job attitudes such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Then, describe a work situation you (or someone you know) has experienced in which POS, LMX, quality of supervisor-subordinate relationship, justice, or trust in management (choose one) affected job attitudes.

Many managers do not understand the various ways that interest rates can affect business decisions. For example, if your company decided to build a plant with a 30-year life and short-term debt financing (renewed annually), the cost of the plant could skyrocket if interest rates were to return to their previous highs of 12% to 14%. On the other hand, locking into high, long-term rates could be very costly also with a long period when low short-term interest rates were to be available. As you can see, the ability to know your economic environment and its impact on projected interest rates can be crucial to making good financing decisions.
Describe two to three macroeconomic factors that influence interest rates in general. Explain the effects of each factor on interest rates.
Now think about the industry in which you are employed or one in which you have past experience. To what macroeconomic factors is your industry most sensitive?
Describe two contemporary factors that seem to be impacting your industry today, and identify their impacts on the interest rates experienced within your chosen industry.
Support your comments with your own experiences, the weekly resources, and/or additional research. Use APA throughout and provide appropriate in-text citations and references.

Several areas are identified in the chapter as applicable to the requirements of a psychology professional. These include application of critical thinking, professional writing and communications, and codes of conduct. Specifically in the preamble of the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.), it states that instructors are obligated to encourage ethical standards by students. Hence it is important that you illustrate that you understand the importance of these ethical practices in this course.
With this in mind, reflect on your own journey in academics by considering the following sentence starters as you write your journal:
Do you believe you have improved your level of critical thought during your time with University of Arizona Global Campus? In what ways?
Do you believe you have improved your level of professional writing standards? What improvements can you identify?
Do you utilize software that can help you edit your writing? If so, what software works best for you? YES, GRAMMARLY
Do you double check that you have sufficiently given credit to outside authors? Was there a resource that was most helpful to you?
Do you use your own voice rather than just writing exactly what someone else said with quotes?
When you do this, do you still cite where you learned the information?
How about ethical standards associated with giving advice: Are you more careful now to not give psychological advice, without having additional education, or supported evidence?
What do our reflection resource readings tell us about applying ethics?
There are many additional considerations you may include, but the key to this reflection is to
Demonstrate a broad understanding about the importance of the responsibilities associated with graduating with knowledge in the area of psychology.
Explain the potential applications of such knowledge to your future goals.
Discuss implications associated with ethical writing practices.
Discuss the implications of offering psychological advice to others, with limited knowledge and without credentials.
(Please do NOT list these sentence starters in your reflection.You should simply make sure that you discuss each in a way that reflects your understanding of the significance and applications of having a psychology degree.)

Draw an ERD for an eyeglass store database with the following information:
a. Customers have prescriptions from eye doctors.
b. Customers buy frames that come from manufacturers
c. Customers are helped by a staff member
Your Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) posted for this discussion is NOT to be submitted as an attachment that everyone would have to open to read. Your ERD is to be copied and pasted.
You are to draw one ERD that includes all of the above relationships. Do NOT show the attributes for each entity. Make sure that your relationships shows the cardinality for both directions (active and passive). Use Crows Foot Notation. Name the relationships. There should be a minimum and maximum cardinality for each direction of each relationship.
Below are some guidelines you should use when drawing ERDs
An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a data model while Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) are process models.
When drawing an ERD:
Each entity is to be named with a noun
The ERD shows the relationships between the entities. The relationship is to be a verb.
Each entity has attributes (fields). Attributes are the columns in regard to relational databases. For the ERD you will draw in Discussion No 7 do not include the fields/attributes.
The ERD below states:
Reading the ERD in the active voice (top to bottom) – Person walks Dogs. Reading the ERD in the passive voice (bottom to top )- it states that dogs are walked by people.
Note the cardinality symbols. They are in Crows Foot Notation, which is what we will use in this class – Discussion No 7 ERD.
The ERD states (reading top to bottom) PEOPLE walk one and only one dog (active). Reading bottom to top (passive) – Dogs are walked by zero to many people.

Scenario
You are a website designer and are currently being considered as the designer for a complete redesign of a medical facility’s website page. They have not updated their website in over 15 years due to the lack of staff. The website needs the redesign to target the specific visual preferences of patients and medical clients. They have several other designers that they are interviewing, and you decide to create a video presentation to impress them to choose you as their website designer.
As you begin your presentation, you decide that your design will include the following visual concepts and elements:
Visual Organization
Visual Simplicity
Visual Interactivity
Charts and Graphs
Images
In designing these visual elements, you keep the target audience of patients and medical clients as the main focus. You carefully consider what these types of people wish to see at a medical facility. You also consider what visual elements will attract the eye, and yet enhance a specific mood and emotional response for viewers.
After creating the website, you record your explanation of your visual design choices in an audio/video screen share.
Your presentation should be a maximum of 5 minutes.
