Leadership Quiz - Your Results

Your results indicate that your leadership style is both: Participative and Delegative

Participative Leadership

Participative leaders accept input from one or more group members when making decisions and solving problems, but the leader retains the final say when choices are made. Group members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership. This style of leadership often leads to more effective and accurate decisions, since no leader can be an expert in all areas. Input from group members with specialized knowledge and expertise creates a more complete basis for decision-making.

Delegative Leadership

Delegative leaders allow group members to make decisions. This style is best used in situations where the leader needs to rely on qualified employees. The leader cannot be an expert in all situations, which is why it is important to delegate certain tasks out to knowledgeable and trustworthy employees.Remember, good leaders utilize all three styles depending upon the situation.

For example:
Use an authoritative style if a group member lacks knowledge about a certain procedure.
Use a participative style with group members who understand the objectives and their role in the task.
Use a delegative style if the group member knows more than you do about the task.

This is what happens when I am too bored. URGH.

"Mohamad Rosle Ahmad wrote in a letter to the editor: "I am sure Enron and Worldcom paid more than top dollar for their top executives, and look where their companies are now - six feet under."
Lee Kuan Yew, whose title is minister mentor, said naysayers like this need a reality check.
"I say you have no sense of proportion; you don't know what life is about," he said last month."

NOW we know why the increase the sales tax. The famous words of Lord Acton reminds us that "absolute power corrupts absolutely".


On a different note, I think I will die during the holidays. Work during daytime, dance my soul out night time. Practices are on every Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri. Sat is still unknown and probably used to choreograph moves. Goner.
Boy, do I need a long holiday this time. No more studying. God knows I was still overwhelmed by last semester. 6 biology subjects and that's not inclusive of our 3-hour lab time every week! What the freak? And only a month break before this semester (4 bio and 1 business) started and yes, it felt way too short. I don't know what my school wants seriously, you know you have studied more than enough when Master exchange students are sitting in the same lecture hall with me and our undergraduate students in other countries have nothing to take but Master's subjects. I am becoming nerdier by the second.

Someday

You know what I'd really like to do someday?

1. Visit North Pole


The rare phenomenon of the beautiful sun and moon together. ( Come to think of it, I don't know if this is even possible)


2. Visit South Pole


and see penguins in the wild!

3. Climb Mt.Kinabalu


Can you picture the satisfaction and victorious feeling upon scaling it????


4. Feast my eyes on Mt.Everest and Mt.Fuji


Feast, not climb. I think the Himalayas of Nepal is really beautiful.

5. See the whales

6. Galapagos Islands! I forgot this one!

I have always been very fascinated by evolution and this is the very land that keeps all the evidences and mysteries! To this very day!

7. Prince Edward Island

I love Anne of Green Gables collection (credit goes to my Darling who found the entire collection for me!)and really L.M Montmogery was so amazing! This book has thought me loads of things since childhood days ,especially one that I held onto very strongly - hope. And she had painted such a beautiful picture of PEI, of dreams and hopes! There is even a place where they built the Anne of Green Gables house for tourism. But then again, maybe visiting it might not be such a good idea after all. It would be like, being awakened from a beautiful, sweet dream, don't you think so?

Yes, I am not such a city girl. Don't really like the concrete buildings. Feel suffocated at times, don't you think so? The serene beauty of the nature can never be represented by those tall, concrete blocks. And it's sad, how we often tend to forget to pause for a few minutes, to just turn to the tree next to us and think, I wonder how old you are now?

Fumbling

okay okay I know this is not the best time to be thinking of what I want to do next time but I can't help it!!!!! I have been pondering and I can't help but to think that I can't just settle for a 9-5 job of an SGD of 2500 a month (and that's IF I get a proper job)!!!! I am such a spender! How am I suppose to support my dad and mom AND pay my study loan AND the bills, the rental, the good food that I love and the nice clothes that I can only drool for????!!!! Not to mention the travelling around the world that I'd like to do. Not to mention saving up a bit for studying AND for rainy days. Oh, I forgot to mention a car. *faint* And most likely a dog too while we are at it.

Since Exploit Tech came down, I have been thinking about becoming an IP agent. Reasons being:

1. It has everything to do with what I am studying
2. Science and technology is moving so fast and everyone needs their products or ideas to be patented
3. It involves one to predict whether the product will be able to make it or not in the industry ( I think I would like that)
4. It is professional. LOL.
5. OK, this sounds invalid but I can't help it that every numerological, horoscope and zodiac predictions ALWAYS and I mean always say that I should be involved in business, sales and law. Maybe this is good? its a combi of business and law anyway.
6. I like consultancy and advising as well.


Reasons NOT becoming one:

1. The manager I met told me that you have to know your stuff really well because you get shitty professors coming up to you saying, "Do you have a PHD?" before you even start advising. And worse response if you tell them your product is not going to be able to make it outside there.
2. Becoming an IP agent means doing an extra year in IP academy to be a registered IP agent. Now, I think I should also say that studying law doesnt exactly excite me.
3. I am not a very methodological person (as there are many procedures to obtain a license).


6 to 3??? hhhmm....... or heck, maybe I should just start a business. :P

ashe and ashlee

Should have uploaded this but i forgot! yes!the 2 of them were in my university giving classes! :)

Walt Disney

He was an admirable man. One who was called the father of animation. One who had such vivd dreams and imagination that only words such as; impressive, inventor, genius: can be associated with him. I owe it to him to believe and hope. I owe it to him to remember that good and beautiful things do happen after all. I owe it to him for learning my English when I was young. How absurd of me to be sitting in front of the TV at every 5.30 in the evening to watch cartoons before or after playing outside. And it is even more absurd that a fully grown woman of 22 will answer to her nieces and nephew like that:-



Nieces and nephew: YiYi (auntie)!!!!!
(they will be in the living room and me in the room)


22-year-old: Yes??


Nieces and nephew: Spongebob Squarepants is on now!! Come out!!!!!!!!


22-year-old: OKAY!
(races to the living room)






Yes, I still love to watch cartoons to this day. And nothing could change that. I love the idea of hope and belief it brought to me. I love the idea of simplicity holding the beauty. I love the idea of how immature and childish it may seem, but yet has a deeper meaning to it. I love the idea that a simple 2-D animated cartoon is able to contain such a message and still make us laugh our heads off.




It never really hit me the immense work and art of Walt Disney until I went to Tokyo Disneyland. He did it. Everything over there is so magical, so true. I saw all the Japanese kids over there, wide-eyed, listening to every word that Mickey said, and was thinking how lucky these kids are. I was amazed, not just by the beautiful buildings but simply the feeling of me being inside Disneyland. I was the happiest of all the happy girls that day. It is the only feeling where one can ONLY feel it in Disneyland. I felt like I was brought back to my kiddy days. Like, everything could really come true if you believe in it. And, it will, you know.

Thank you, Mr.Disney, for not only building the most famous theme park in the world, but also proving to us that, really, we should keep on believing and hoping, holding on to our dreams and knowing that it will come some day.






Oh, just to note, Hong Kong Disneyland, is not that great.

High School Never Ends

I love these awesome lyrics! :P

Four years you think for sure
That’s all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT!
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw that’s just great

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who‘s having sex
Who‘s got the money, who gets the honeys
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
And you still don’t have the right look
And you don’t have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends

High school never ends

Check out the popular kids
You’ll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom’s straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn’t matter if you’re sixteen or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon,She’s the prom queen
Bill Gates,Captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before I want my money back!!

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who’s the best dressed and who’s having sex
Who’s in the club and who’s on the drugs
Who’s throwing up before they digest
And you still don’t have the right look
And you don’t have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then

High school never ends
High school never ends

Women abuse

The women over at New Delhi,

- sexually abuse by husband (sometimes in fron of children) and more of them being exploited into sex tourism
- after tsunami, women sold off their KIDNEYS to make ends meet.
- with the amount they have, hopefully to help the family, was taken by the husband to drink
- after selling their kidneys, no proper follow up medication was given, leading to severe abdominal pains preventing them from work.

Why women are always the subject for abuse????? GROSS.

Places like Japan ( I know its the culture and I should respect them) but the super blown up ego of the men over there.... i tell you....feels like smacking their heads! I will never work for a Jap company!

What's wrong with them? At the end of the day, down right to the core, it's just the difference of you having a Y gene and me having a double X. If we respect you men, why cant's we get the same amount of respect back? HAH.

And there have been reports that Y gene is degenerating. Unstable telomeric ends. Facing extinction maybe???

Which goes back to proving my theory. That we were hemaphrodites (self-fertilised: have both sperms and eggs) to begin with and there was no male back then! *laughs gleefully*


Note: something is wrong with my blog. damn. all the writtings for previous post was gone!
