• Discuss two      types of leadership types you feel you would prefer the most in a leader.      Why?  
• Which type of      leader do you inspire to be like (Pick one of 8 Leadership Styles      discussed in the article)?   Why?  
• As a leader how would      you communicate to an employee on something she is excelling      on? (Provide an example that communication)  
• As a leader how      would you communicate with an employee who need improvement in multiple      areas of his job? (Provide an example that communication) 

a. What would be the effect of such a policy on equilibrium interest rate in the money market? Explain why the equilibrium interest rate changes the way it does. Provide a graphical illustration using the appropriate diagram(s). (10 points)

b. Discuss the effects of the policy on equilibrium output and interest rate in the economy using the ISLM-ADAS model in the short run. Explain which market (or markets) is (or are) affected and which curves shift. Illustrate your answer with the appropriate diagrams. (10 points). 

c. Now discuss the effects in the medium run. You do not need to draw new diagrams; but you should refer to the diagrams in part b above and state which curves shift and in which direction they shift, and what happens to output and the interest rate in the medium-run equilibrium. A branch of the economics profession has argued that money is “neutral”. Does your analysis support this claim? Explain. (10 points) 

Question II.3 (30 points) 2 

a. Describe the factors that influence wage setting. Write down the equation that represents wage setting, describe the effect of each factor in the equation/function, and draw the corresponding diagram. Clearly state the assumptions behind your analysis. (10 points) 

b. Briefly describe the “efficiency wage” theory. Explain why a firm would want to pay a wage that is higher than the market wage rate. What theories can motivate such a practice? (10 points) 

c. The conventional (classical) labor market theory suggests that i) the wage rate adjusts smoothly so that labor supply equals labor demand; ii) wages are set competitively across markets; iii) there is no ‘involuntary’ unemployment (anyone who wishes to work can work). Does this reflect the reality in real economies? If not, explain why. (10 points)

1. Can a person be considered successful if they do not aspire to be a leader, but want to be a successful follower? Defend your answer. What are the essential characteristics (as you see them) of an effective follower? As a leader, would you want someone who aspired to become a leader or someone who wanted to be a good follower work for you? Is your answer dependent upon the situation?

Read Ch. 15 and complete an individual integrative paper addressing your personal theoretical orientation to counseling. 4 pages minium 

• Key concepts of your approach
• View of your role as a counselor
• Therapeutic goals and how you would decide upon goals
• Relationship issues you are likely to consider
• Central techniques you are likely to employ
• How you would address issues of cultural diversity
• Address specific issues as outlined in the textbook

This paper should attempt to integrate as many concepts and techniques based upon two or more of the counseling models. My suggestion is to take a primary theory – one that comes closest to your beliefs – as your theory of choice and then branch out showing how you would draw techniques from several other theoretical approaches. Be sure to state WHY you select a particular theory as your main theory. Show how you could bring in ideas and techniques from the various theories you have studied into your own integrative theoretical stance.

• Create a title for your paper that conveys your basic idea.
• State your message clearly and concisely in your opening paragraph.
• Have a solid and impactful concluding paragraph.
• The theme should be clear, concise, and specific rather than global and generalized. Do not write in a general and abstract manner, or else your paper will lose a clear focus.
• Develop your thoughts fully, concretely, and logically rather than rambling or being vague.
• In terms of form and organization, your paper should flow well, and your points should relate to one another. The reader should not have to struggle to understand your intended meaning.
• Give reasons for your views rather than making unsupported statements. When you take a position, provide reasons for your position.
• Cover a few issues or ideas well and in depth, rather than spreading yourself too thin.

3. Creativity (5 Points)

• The use of personal examples is encouraged when appropriate to support your points.
• Write a paper that reflects your uniqueness and ideas rather than merely giving a summary of the material in the textbook.
• Do not make your papers mere summaries, rather focus on a clear position that you take on a specific question or issue.
• Approach the material in an original way.
• Focus on a particular issue or topic that you find personally significant. Since you have a choice in what aspect to focus on, select an aspect of a problem that will allow you to express your beliefs.
• Show depth in expanding on your thoughts.

4. Integration and Application (5 Points)

• Your papers should emphasize an integration of perspectives and an application of theory to practice.
• Demonstrate that you know the material or the issues involved through an integration and synthesis of theories, accurate understanding of theoretical concepts, critical evaluation of theories, and ability to apply ideas to practical situations.
• If you are writing a theory essay, focus on those specific aspects of the theory that you’d most like to incorporate into your own style of counseling. Stress the implications for counseling practice. Rather than writing merely about a theoretical issue, show how this issue has meaning in a counseling situation.
• Apply your ideas to specific populations with whom you expect to work – both in counseling and non-counseling situations. You may want to apply your essays to teaching, working with older adults, working in corrections, working with adolescents, etc. Make these a personal and meaningful experience.
• In writing about a case, be sure to show that you can apply several approaches or perspectives to this case. Work with the case by attempting to combine a number of perspectives
