- Give examples of risks that need to be managed in relation to a strategic human resources plan.
A) The use of technology provides a positive impact in the Bounce Fitness and enhances a high productivity. The entire operations could be carried out easily using the advanced technology with the help of dedicated staff members. The entire working among the newly recruited members could be understandable and the completion of the activity becomes very less. The use of technology reduces the workforce in the Bounce Fitness and makes a better mode of practices in the working. The chance of error becomes less from the use of technology and enhances a better skill.

Steven Sample described two rules of decision making for contrarian leaders: “(1) Never make a decision yourself that can reasonably be delegated to a lieutenant; (2) Never make a decision today that can reasonably be put off to tomorrow” (Sample, 2003).
- Discuss your agreement or disagreement with these rules.
- Identify pros and cons of these rules of decision making.
- Discuss if these rules would be effective if applied in your current work environment.
- Discuss a work, life, or academic decision-making situation when you followed these rules and the results were positive and a situation when you followed these rules and the results did not yield positive results.
In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:
- Recognize that using the contrarian leaders’ decision-making rules depends on several conditions:
- First, to delegate to a lieutenant, one must have someone he or she trusts, is knowledgeable to make the same decision as the leader and understands the complexity of the situation to make the right decision (these complexities are often not pushed down to the next level).
- To hold off on decisions will depend on the culture and structure of the organization. If the organization is one that requires quick decisions, and a lot of other factors depend on that decision, then following rule 2 would not be effective in that culture.
- Additionally responses will be based on the personal experiences i.e. answers will vary.

This week, the discussion will focus on contingency theory. This theory has been most recognized by the work of Fiedler. Research the work of Fiedler on contingency theory, and respond to the following questions:
- What is your understanding of contingency theory?
- Why is authentic leadership important to contingency theory?
- Describe the differences and similarities of path-goal theory, Blanchard’s situational theory approach, and Fiedler’s contingency theory
In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:
- Contingency theory is based on the premise that leaders understand the situation in which that they would be most effective. Authentic leadership requires a commitment to undertaking a journey to better understand oneself and leadership style.
- Your answers may vary. However, theories are measuring different things. Where Blanchard is measuring the overall effectiveness of a leader’s ability to address each situation with the style needed to be successful, Fiedler is measuring where the leader is most effective and states that a leader is not effective in every situation.
- There are similarities in the approach of assessing a situation and recognizing potential gaps in subordinates and then applying the leadership that would fill those gaps. Path-goal theory focuses on 4 varieties of leadership that are different from situational theory: directive, supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented. Where Blanchard focused on how situational theory provided the best leadership for a specific situation, path-goal theory describes the influence on the subordinates’ performance.
- Path-goal theory includes motivational theory, which is important but is not an emphasis on Blanchard’s situational leadership theory.
- If leaders want to be effective, they must be able to give subordinates what they need to compensate for the gaps in subordinates’ abilities (these gaps are found in the subordinates’ characteristics) and make changes based on the type of tasks. The goal is to use the leadership style that best motivates the employee to be effective in his or her job.

Deliverable 2 – Tutoring on the Normal Distribution
Demonstrate the use of the normal distribution, the standard normal distribution, and the central limit theorem for calculating areas under the normal curve and exploring these concepts in real life applications.
Scenario
Frank has only had a brief introduction to statistics when he was in high school 12 years ago, and that did not cover inferential statistics. He is not confident in his ability to answer some of the problems posed in the course.
As Frank’s tutor, you need to provide Frank with guidance and instruction on a worksheet he has partially filled out. Your job is to help him understand and comprehend the material. You should not simply be providing him with an answer as this will not help when it comes time to take the test. Instead, you will be providing a step-by-step breakdown of the problems including an explanation on why you did each step and using proper terminology.
What to Submit
To complete this assignment, you must first download the word document 
, and then complete it by including the following items on the worksheet:
- Incorrect Answers
- Correct any wrong answers. You must also explain the error performed in the problem in your own words.
- Partially Finished Work
- Complete any partially completed work. Make sure to provide step-by-step instructions including explanations.
- Blank Questions
- Show how to complete any blank questions by providing step-by-step instructions including explanations.
Your step-by-step breakdown of the problems, including explanations, should be present within the word document provided. You must also include an Excel workbook which shows all your calculations performed.
