Describe other types of risk that play a role in making such a decision to expand internationally.

For this Discussion, imagine the following scenario:

 

You are the director of new business development for your company, and your vice president wants to expand into new markets overseas.

  • What is your reaction to the vice president’s premise? True? False? Why? Is it really that simple?
  • Describe other types of risk that play a role in making such a decision to expand internationally.

“Act your age”

 

1.   Observe people in a public place. Examine their behaviors using the criteria of whether or not the behaviors are age-appropriate. Post examples of appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, with an explanation as to why the behavior is appropriate or inappropriate 

 

 

 

 

 

2. I was shopping at the mall, I saw this lady she looks to be 60 or 70 years old, she had on a mini skirt with a boot that comes to her thighs. She was cussing and flirting with young men that look like they could be in their 20s. She looks to be old enough to be their grandmother. This is inappropriate for a lady her age to be dressing and flirting with young men old enough to be her grandsons.

 

I saw a little girl in the ice cream store, she was so cute she was probably was around 3 or 4 years of age. She was running around the store with another little girl around her age. This was appropriate for her age. Kids her age are very active, they love to stay busy.

 

 

 

3.  Being a Cardiovascular Technologist and a Saint Leo student limits the number of places I can observe people. I spend most of my time at the hospital(work), or at Starbuck’s(studying). Recently I observed an interaction between a couple of people at Starbuck’s that I felt showed a severe lack of maturity on a part and an abundance of it on the other part. It involved a gentleman of about 60 plus years and a lady barista of about 25 years old. The barista was explaining to the gentleman that it is a health code violation for customers to contact anything behind the counter. The gentleman was being very petulant, and difficult while the young lady showed a remarkable amount of patience, restraint, and maturity. I felt that the man was not behaving in the way that a man of advanced years should behave. The young lady actually showed the type of demeanor I feel is expected from older people.

Explain how these two principles guide servant leadership in the workplace.

Provide a response to the below answer in at least 50 words in apa format with int-text citations and references:

 

The two words honor, and protection are equally important in guiding servant leadership. A servant leader uses honor to show right and wrong when exemplifying moral standards of conduct. (McCuistion, 2018) When defining the word honor in leadership we learn that it means to “set values upon someone or something to revere and to reward.” (DelHousaye & Brewer, 2004) A servant leader provides protection to their employees. This requires the leader to create an environment of protection that results in success in the lives of those that the leader protects. I feel as if my current leader provides these two principles. I feel that I can flourish under her successfully and that she always follows values that lead us to reward. (DelHousaye & Brewer, 2004)

 

Original Question: When we consider the word love as a verb instead of a feeling, the biblical worldview would state that this loving relationship is related to two principles: honor and protection. Explain how these two principles guide servant leadership in the workplace.
