Question1: “Talent Pool Management and Engagement Research”  Please respond to the following:

• Synthesize the key characteristics of an effectively managed talent pool for leaders.  Justify how you would initiate and maintain this talent pool of potential leaders.
• Discuss an approach to engagement research that would encompass the necessary components to your profession or industry. Itemize the areas that must be considered in the future talent pool and how one would design research that answers these questions.

Quesetion2:  

Change Management Models

1. Compare and contrast the various change management models. Provide a brief overview of your comparison. Which models have you seen implemented in the workforce? Next, recommend which change model you would use when implementing your new HRIS, and explain why you would use the selected model.

Ways to Use Testing

A number of HR professionals begin their staffing role believing that a paper-and-pencil test can be a cure-all for almost all staffing situations. Companies as diverse as Ameritas Life Insurance and the National Football League use the Wonderlic personality test as a means of assessing employees and potential hires. Many universities use the SAT, ACT, GMAT, or GRE exams to screen potential students. It is tempting to look at these numbers and use them as a key step in the selection process. For this discussion, describe how you would use a test of your choice to screen for a position you are familiar with. You could focus only on the extremes, focus on the mid-points (for example, 22 is mean for a job, so you screen only for people near 22), or you could use some other method.

Use at least two sources from the course, your own findings, or workplace examples to justify your rationale for using the selected screening test.

essay abt ledership and motivation

  PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION ON THE ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENT

Page requirement is 4-6 pages mgmt ip4

Path-goal theory focuses on the ability of leaders to motivate followers to achieve success. The theory built upon the foundation of expectancy theory that states followers will be motivated when they are confident that they can be successful in achieving the goal. However, there have been many instances related to social movements as far back as the 1700s when followers have been motivated against many odds and barriers with a low likelihood of success. When you look at social movements like the Abolition Movement, Women’s Rights Movement, Labor Movements, Civil Rights Movement, and even Occupy Wall Street, followers were highly motivated, and the likelihood of success was not evident.

• Do you think these social movements contradict the path-goal theory? Justify your  answer. 
• Formulate your own theory as to how these movements are able to motivate so many followers. Support your theory with scholarly research. 
• Why do you think so many of these movements are called “leaderless” movements? 

If you have little knowledge of our experience with social movements, please read the Unit Four Learning Material article by Nepstad & Bob, “When Do Leaders Matter? Hypotheses on Leadership Dynamics in Social Movements,” Mobilization, 2006

Application: Types of Crises/Disasters

What is a crisis? Crisis definition is fundamental to understanding types of crises or disasters. The definitions of crises and types of disasters are numerous. Most definitions involve perception and the loss of resources for dealing with a situation. Types of disasters include natural, man-made, organizational, and personal crises. By understanding the definition of crisis you will broaden your understanding of the types of disasters.

To prepare for this assignment:

• Review Chapter 1 in both of your course texts, Crisis Intervention Strategies and Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, to understand the interplay of crisis definition and types of crises.
• Think about a crisis you have experienced and how this fits into a definition of crisis and a type(s) of crisis(es).
• Think about a crisis of which you are aware and consider how crisis perception and loss of resources for dealing with a crisis impact psychological responses and/or reactions to the situation.
• Think about various types of crises (e.g., natural disasters, school/workplace shootings, terrorism, military trauma, etc.) and their similarities and differences.
• Review Dr. Baron’s video program, “On the Road to . . . Peace of Mind,” and focus on the importance of training the trainers about responding to crisis planning with an understanding of local culture and traditions in mind. Then note the types of crises and disasters the training group might respond to. (Note: When Dr. Baron is talking about counselors in this particular film, she is referencing local lay people and not fully-trained counselors such as you and your colleagues.)
• Review Dr. Baggerly’s video program, “Disaster Mental Health and Crisis Stabilization for Children” and focus on the importance of training the trainers who work with children rather than adults. Then note the types of crises and disasters the training group might respond to.
• Review the various crisis-responding roles of national and international organizations you wrote about in this week’s Discussion and how these roles might differ depending on the type of crisis.

The assignment: (4–6 pages)

• Compare types of crises (e.g., natural disasters, school/workplace shootings, terrorism, military trauma, etc.), making sure to outline their similarities and differences.
• Describe the crisis-responding roles of national and international organizations for each type of crisis you discussed above.
• Then briefly describe any insights and/or conclusions you gained from completing this assignment.
