What are the apparent advantages and potential disadvantages of focusing your self-development on achieving excellence in a specific technical or professional specialty? How does this focus impact your coworkers?Question 2George did not look forward to going to the staff meetings that his middle-manager boss convened once each week. He did not always feel this way about the meetings; in fact, up until 3 months earlier he rather enjoyed what he believed were productive and congenial gatherings. What made the difference was one change in the membership of this group of six supervisors: the addition of Charlie, who replaced a usually silent supervisor.Unlike his predecessor, Charlie was anything but usually silent. In fact, it seemed as though Charlie had made it a point to become conversant with every section of their boss’s territory, and he almost always had something critical to say about the other supervisors’ weekly reports.What bothered George most was Charlie’s approach to getting his issues or criticisms on the table. Charlie seemed to focus exclusively on problems and weaknesses. As if that in itself wasn’t bad enough, what George resented most was Charlie’s way of introducing a problem or concern in a way that ensured maximum embarrassment for whoever’s area he was commenting on. It was Charlie’s practice to openly drop his little bombshells in the staff meeting, where the supervisor whose area was in question first heard of a so-called problem or weakness at the same time the others learned of it.It seemed to George that Charlie’s practice of blindsiding the others in the group was coldly calculated to make himself look better by making others look worse. And George found it even more frustrating to note that their boss did not seem to recognize what Charlie was doing.•What do you recommend that George do about Charlie’s staff meeting behavior?•Should George take up his concerns directly with Charlie? And if so, should he do it one-on-one or in the context of the staff meeting?•Would you recommend that George start addressing this problem by taking it up one-on-one with their mutual middle-manager boss?

How might students exercise greater power as an interest group to exert influence over universities and the role of higher education in US society?

How might students exercise greater power as an interest group to exert influence over universities and the role of higher education in US society? What obstacles would students face in organizing and how might they overcome these obstacles? Your paper should go beyond mere description or providing a “book report,” or simply agreeing or disagreeing with particular sources you choose. In other words, your paper should present your original analysis of the topic you have chosen. Your paper should include an “academic” thesis. Your paper must cite at least three sources. One source must be course material, another source must be an outside academic source, and the third source can be from anywhere. Of those three sources, at least two must be academic sources (not all sources from this course are academic). You may choose to cite more sources if you deem it necessary or helpful. This paper should be an attempt to write in the format you will be expected to use post-transfer. This means that your paper should not be speaking to an uninformed audience, but rather speaking to an “academic” or “expert” audience that you will assume already understands the general nature of your topic. The body paragraphs of your paper should begin with a “topic sentence” that clearly states the major point of each paragraph. Your paragraphs should end with a “transition sentence” that links the point of that paragraph to the next paragraph. The sentences between each topic sentence and each transition sentence in each paragraph should provide evidence and argumentation that supports the paragraph’s topic sentence. In this way it should be possible for a reader to see each point you are making in your paper and how those points connect by only reading the first and last sentence of every body paragraph. Be sure to review your paper to check for this before you submit it. Your concluding paragraph should simply re-state your introduction. Think of your introduction and conclusion as “book ends” – two things that are basically the same that hold everything between them together. You should not be introducing new evidence, argumentation, or analysis in your conclusion. Unlike writing for a general audience, academic papers do not “build up” to a conclusion. Instead, the point of the entire paper is summarized at the beginning in the thesis statement and then reiterated at the end. If you find yourself writing new material in your conclusion then you have simply discovered a new important point and you should revise your introduction to include your new insight and then create a new concluding paragraph that re-states your revised introduction.
