Can you imagine an effective leader who is not an effective communicator? Leadership communication skills are very important. Some would call effective communication the most important leadership competency. Without the skills of effective communication, you will not be an effective leader, especially in this complex, fast-paced environment. 

It is important for the leader to create an environment of open communication where ideas, solutions, and problems can all be discussed without fear. When employees understand that communication is open and encouraged, they will perform better. 

Using the assigned readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research communication competencies required for leaders. 

Then, respond to the following:

• What are some key communication competencies needed in leaders today? 

• Is individual communication more important than group or mass communication? Why or why not? 

• List 2–4 strategies that leaders can use to improve their individual communication skills. Which method is most important? Why?

By Week 3, Day 3, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Week 3, Day 7, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Do the following when responding to your peers: 

• Read your peers’ answers.

• Provide substantive comments by 

o contributing new, relevant information from course readings, Web sites, or other sources; 

o building on the remarks or questions of others; or 

o sharing practical examples of key concepts from your professional or personal experiences

• Respond to feedback on your posting and provide feedback to other students on their ideas.

• Make sure your writing 

o is clear, concise, and organized; 

o demonstrates ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and 

o displays accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Write a 15 page (no longer) paper in which you identify and assess emerging cyber security approaches and technologies as well as discuss government efforts to nurture the development of these emerging technologies. An emerging technology is a technology that is in the genesis stage, is still researched and developed, and has not been proven, standardized, or widely adopted. By that criteria, fingerprint biometrics, eye biometrics, voice print ID as a class are all unacceptable topics.

The following two questions should be addressed in your paper.

1. How do the emerging cyber security technologies that you identified coupled with prioritized research and development improve cyber security?
A. Clearly defines the emerging cyber security technologies that you identify as well as their main features.
B. Clearly defines how an organization would use these emerging cyber security technologies.
C. Describes real-world examples of the use of these emerging cyber security technologies.
2. Discuss the role of federal government in the support and nurturing of emerging cyber security technologies that you identified.
A. Clearly discuss the benefits and drawbacks that government efforts to support new cyber security technologies may create.
B. Describe real-world examples that support your position.
Cover Page, Table of Contents, Introduction, Section Headings and Subheadings, Conclusions, APA compliant in-text citations and references list, and page numbers. 
At least 75% of references should be based on official reports, scholarly studies, or peer-reviewed journal articles. One of the key features of IEEE and ACM is the ability to identify emerging cyber security approaches and technologies based on their novelty and interest as demonstrated by the availability of 5 or more recent (less than 12 months old) cyber security technology / approach.

paper must include: Cover Page, Table of Contents, Introduction, Section Headings and Subheadings, Conclusions, APA compliant in-text citations and list of References, and page numbers.

If you have a question about the suitability of the topics that you want to write about, please ask.

Where is our energy coming from?

Data Collection and Selection

1. Select a food item from your kitchen that has a Nutrition Label. It must have at least 2 non-zero values ​​for the categories of fat, carbohydrates, and protein! You will need to include a picture of the label with this handout and your other drawings / charts. The writer can get or choose any nutrition label.

2. Write down the total grams for each of the biomolecules in the table below. Multiply by the given multiplier to calculate the amount of energy for each category. Add up the total calories. Calories is used as a unit for energy.

Biomolecule

Amount (grams)

Multiplier

Total Energy from each Biomolecule (Calories)

Analysis

3.  Calculate the percentage contribution to the total mass for each biomolecule and make a pie chart of

       this information (you may draw it or use Excel, etc.) Color code the chart with carbohydrates in

       blue, protein in green, and fat in red. Create a key or legend and a title. 

4. Calculate the percent contribution to the total energy for each biomolecule and make a chart of this information. Color code the chart with carbohydrates in blue, protein in green, and fat in red. Create a key or legend and a title.

Conclusion

5. Was the biomolecule with the highest calorie contribution the same as the biomolecule with the highest mass contribution?
