Steven Sample described two rules of decision making for contrarian leaders: “(1) Never make a decision yourself that can reasonably be delegated to a lieutenant; (2) Never make a decision today that can reasonably be put off to tomorrow” (Sample, 2003). 

• Discuss your agreement or disagreement with these rules. 
  • Identify  pros and cons of these rules of decision making. 
  • Discuss  if these rules would be effective if applied in your current work environment. 
  • Discuss a  work, life, or academic decision-making situation when you followed these  rules and the results were positive and a situation when you followed these rules and the results did not yield positive results. 

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

• Recognize that using the contrarian leaders’ decision-making rules depends on several conditions:
• First, to delegate to a lieutenant, one must have someone he or she trusts, is knowledgeable to make the same decision as the leader and understands the complexity of the situation to make the      right decision (these complexities are often not pushed down to the next level). 
• To hold off on decisions will depend on the culture and structure of the organization. If the organization is one that requires quick decisions, and a lot of other factors depend on that decision, then  following rule 2 would not be effective in that culture. 
• Additionally responses will be based on the personal  experiences i.e. answers will vary.

The team management plan will describe how the team members for the project will be acquired and the length of time they will be needed for the project. The project team is the group of individuals who complete the work for the project and is overseen by the project manager. Project team members can be part time or full time, depending on the project and the organization.

 Instructions

In 3 pages discuss the following hypothetical: You are an employer of a mid-size business. You receive notice from the sheriff’s department that one of your most trusted and responsible employees hit and killed a pedestrian who was lawfully in a crosswalk. According to the sheriff’s reports your employee ran a red light going at a speed of 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. The employee was driving your company vehicle and was on official company business. Can any liability be imposed against you as the employer? How do you know? 

This analysis should be a minimum of 3 pages in length. Further, you are also to use no less than 3 references to support your analysis. These references may be the text, lectures, or law journals retrieved from the university library database.

Among the many challenges managers face is providing accurate, timely, and effective feedback to employees. As a manager, how will you ensure you are giving employees the feedback they need to be successful on the job, while still carrying out the strategic plans of the organization? You are a district manager who manages 25 employees in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. You try to see your managers once a month, but when there are issues you constantly have to change your plans. Please respond to the following questions:

• How will you connect with your managers when you don’t see them on a daily basis?
• How do you monitor performance and give feedback both positive and negative?

Your response should be at least two pages double-spaced throughout (NO EXTRA SPACING BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS)

1) A Brief Description of the work (LOOKING)

2) A Brief Formal Analysis (highlight those aspects of the work you find most significant)

3) A brief Iconographical analysis

4) A brief Iconological section (OUTSIDE INFORMATION ON THE CULTURE WHICH GAVE RISE TO THE WORK)

5) Conclusion

Remember that iconology should be relevant to your analysis.  What about Renaissance culture aids us in a deeper understanding of the work?
