Learning Activity One
Part One
Jillian Dorn was made Captain of the USS John Paul Jones. She worked hard for her new post and rank. Having served on several ships over the last twenty five years, Dorn was known for being tough but strict in her approach to her subordinates. She was civil to everyone but a loner to her fellow officers and remote in her dealings with others. Fearful that she would not be treated with respect and determined that she would be obeyed in her command, Dorn became over attentive to her officers and micromanaged everyone from the lowest seaman to her immediate second in command. She penalized and put on report people for the smallest infraction. The USS John Paul Jones whose serving personnel had the best morale in the fleet went to the most demoralized and unresponsive crew. When the ship docked almost half the ship had asked for immediate transfers. Dorn was called to task by her superiors immediately. They said that they would give her one more chance with the crew but if the reports continued within one month she would be demoted and removed from the ship. Scared and worried for her career she comes to you to ask for help. How would you assess the situation? What would you tell her to do? Analyze how the Captain might go about changing her leadership style if given a new ship. Take into consideration his personality traits, the organizational values, emotional intelligence and social leadership aspects of her role as leader. In short make her a new woman that the men would want to follow.

Learning Activity 2
“The standard of a true leader is that he sets also his own rules rather than merely and blindly obeying the set of standard rules, even if it means being treated as an idiot or a crazy by the fools. And to follow his noble dream to attain his cherished goal, he employs his wisdom tool gained from his own hard core experience in an open school called life ― Anuj Somany
