  • Integration Of Faith and Learninig

    Write an Integration of Faith and Learning Paper using select concepts found in the course

    materials as well as current scholarly literature to support your writing. This paper must be

    submitted in compliance with the instructions outlined below and in the Integration of Faith and

    Learning Paper Grading Rubric.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    The paper must contain the following components:

    1. A 34-page overview that defines this course as an academic field of study as it relates to

    highly effective teams and successful completion of workplace projects.

    2. A 45-page discussion of the primary considerations that must be made in creating and

    sustaining workplace teams.

    3. A 56-page discussion that integrates the concepts from the Jennings and Stahl-wert

    (2016) book into a cohesive understanding of why the serving leader is significant for

    advancing Gods purposes for team leadership.

    4. A total of 1215 pages (excluding the title and references pages).

    5. A minimum of 5 scholarly references (within the last five years) in addition to the course

    materials and the Bible.

    Below are a couple of concepts to begin guiding your thoughts on developing this paper:

    Wheelan (2020) suggests that effective teams must begin with a supportive

    organizational culture. What is the significance of this? What other factors are essential in

    creating highly effective teams?

    Jennings and Stahl-wert (2016) assert that run to great purpose is the foundation and

    first step in being a serving leader. What relevance and application would this have in

    creating and sustaining a highly effective team? In what ways would this advance Gods

    purpose?

    As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied

    grace. (1 Peter 4:10)

    Conduct additional research on highly effective teams to assess trends or conflicting

    thoughts in this field of study.

    Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

    Managing Your Bosss Moods and Emotions

    This case explores strategies for handling a boss who is frequently moody and emotionally volatile.

    Case Description

    Ted, a forensic accountant, has worked at his law firm for 10 years. Recently, after his boss suffered a heart attack, Ted was reassigned to Richard, his new supervisor. Ted finds Richard difficult to work with due to his frequent negative moods and emotional outbursts. Richards emotional reactions significantly impact the workplace, often guiding his decision-making. When Richard is angry or in a fit of despair, Ted finds it impossible to approach him or obtain crucial information, fearing further conflict.

    To manage Richards volatile moods, Ted has tried several strategies:

    1. Avoidance
    2. Gray rocking (remaining emotionally neutral)
    3. Offering gifts and compliments
    4. Over-delivering on tasks

    Discussion Questions:

    1. What other strategies could you use when dealing with Richard or a similarly moody boss? Are there actions or behaviors you should avoid?
    2. How can Ted protect himself from absorbing his bosss negative emotions and cope with the emotional stress and turmoil caused by Richard’s behavior?

    Requirements: 2 short answers

  • Aquinas on Law Journal Entry

    Write a 450 word journal entry for the book Aquinas on Law?

    1. Use detailed description and quotes from the text to identify what you take to be the central claim(s) that the work makes upon you as a reader and the supporting evidence for the claim. For example, in a work of philosophy, the claim might be that the human soul is immortal, supported by evidence and argument. In history and literature, the claim might take the form of a narrative depiction of a particular world of meaning and value, such as Einhards account of Charlemagne as an ideal king. We might say that the claim is that which invites the reader to think, imagine, and/or feel about the world and things in the world in a new and distinctive way.
    2. In a second level of reflection, raise any questions you may have about interpretation of the work. Are there particular terms, sentences, or paragraphs, arguments, scenes, behaviors, or actions that you find confusing or difficult to understand? How do these questions affect the way you understand the claim being made? (For example, how is one to understand Einhards mention of Charlemagnes several concubines in connection to his esteem for the greatness of the king?)
    3. In a third and final level of reflection, assess the reasons for and against affirming the truth and/or goodness of the claim as you understand it. Using the examples above, are you convinced on the basis of the work that the soul is immortal? Why or why not? Are you convinced that Charlemagne merits the title Great as a Christian ruler of Europe? Why or why not? It is important to use what Fr. Brophy calls generosity to open your mind to claims that challenge your own perspectives. What are the best arguments that you can make for a position that you might ultimately reject? What aspects of the claim do you affirm? Which aspects do you reject? About which aspects are you unsure? Explain your reasoning process in each case, noting the premises involved in the various positions explored.
