LBSU 302 Week 5


I’d like to dig deeper into the psychological aspects of Organizational Leaders and how they apply mental fortitude to stay focused and keeping a neutral perspective when in dealing with conflict crisis.
As an organizational leader on should have the ability to maintain neutrality throughout any conflict situation, but at what point does some organizational leader cross the line, or sway in a favorable direction, when there is clearly both parties at fault.
The research data I’m hoping to find through my empirical research is actual situations where an organizational leader fails at mitigating an issue where there is clearly an equal amount of liability on either party or parties in a conflict crisis.

LBSU 302 Week 3


To narrow down my research topic, I will be utilizing the websites that I learned about in today’s class, these sites will include: http://archive.org/, http://openlibrary.org/, http://www.worldcat.org/, http://chapman.libguides.com/content.php?pid=58069&sid=699471.

            My research topic will be on “Dilemmas Faced by Organizational Leaders.” To narrow down the specific areas faced by Organizational Leaders, I will explicitly search for ethical, moral, and legal dilemmas faced by these leaders. To eliminate the mundane everyday issues faced by a typical workforce, I will add “and not” everyday workplace issues.

LBSU 302 Week 2

My topic will focus on “Ethical Dilemmas,” faced by “Organizational Leaders.”
The areas that stand out to me in my future field that I would like to learn about; is how to choose between the better good when in dealing with Ethical Dilemmas.
In the field of “Organizational Leadership,” as a leader, conflict resolution will be your best asset and should always be the first tool you utilized while dealing with conflicts, while maintaining neutrality.
The two areas that I would like to focus on are how to differentiate between “Legally Right,” and “Morally Right,” then analyzing the situation and choosing the more logical and ethical of the two.
            Another aspect of Organizational Leadership that I would like to learn about is how to turn good followers into great leaders, and good leaders into better leaders as well as good followers. It is important to leader to have good follower-ship, because every leader was once a follower, and to lose sight of such good skills could lead to abuse of leadership.

LBSU Week 1, Day 1...

My experience in the past in regards to research was limited, but was somewhat successful when done under pressure. I have taken several courses throughout my college experience since, which has made me more successful in doing so. Such courses included, English 103 & 104, LBSU 150A, and LBSU 300.
      The takeaway I would like to get from this course is how to be a more effective and efficient information gatherer. Where I take minimal time to gather the correct information and utilize it in an ethical manner.
