As you can see by your reading, a lot of energy goes into the implementation of an organizational ethics program. And Lockheed Martin has clearly allotted considerable resources to assuring their program is successful. In this assignment, we’ll be focusing on what the company did to ensure the implementation of a successful program that was flexible enough to accommodate the changing needs of the organization.
Assignment
Please address the following questions:
On p. 83 Terris discusses the company’s ethics code. Why is the code considered important to the company’s ethics program?
Discuss the importance of ethics training and employee involvement. What are some of the things Lockheed does to make the training process interesting and worthwhile?
In this assignment, you will be asked to consider the role of organizational leaders with respect to ensuring companies work to create an ethical workplace culture. It is important for all upper-level leaders to ‘walk the talk’ so to speak. In addition, many larger companies have a Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer who provides leadership and oversight to the company’s business ethics-related endeavors. Recall that Lockheed Martin has such an executive-level position. However, not all companies have such a position. In this assignment, you will be asked to discuss the contributions of executive leaders and of the Ethics Officer with respect to building an organization that values workplace ethics.
Describe the relationship between the ethical leader and the follower.
Why is this relationship important for organizations that are attempting to do the right thing?
Based on your readings (both the articles provided and Terris’ text), what is the role of the Chief Ethics Officer, and how does the role of this person relate to the success of the ethics-related endeavors within large organizations?

Prevention of Vicarious Trauma: Self-Awareness and Self-Assessment
Choose Topic: Psychology
Select number of pages: 3
Question Description: As a helping professional, many factors can influence the development of vicarious trauma, including client accounts and your own personal and professional experiences. The shifts in cognitive schemas, as discussed in this week’s Discussion, however, are not absolute. You can participate in activities that can minimize or ameliorate the effects of VT. Self-awareness and self-assessment are critical in identifying the development of VT. It is important to note that practitioners who are more susceptible to VT, such as those working with survivors of critical incidents, especially need to be aware of the symptoms and take steps to minimize the development of VT.
For this Assignment, reflect on the strategies you read about and those you may know from outside this course. Consider those that you use currently or might use in the future to mitigate the effects of VT. Complete the Compassion Fatigue Self Test and analyze the results.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
Summarize the results of the self-assessment.
Explain what you learned about yourself as it relates to vicarious trauma.
Describe three strategies that you might use to mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma, and explain why you selected each.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are required to provide a reference list and to appropriately cite, in APA style, all references used within your Assignment.

Interventions for Survivors of Sexual Trauma
Choose Topic: Psychology
Select number of pages: 2
Question Description: One in 6 females and one in 33 males have experienced some form of sexual trauma in their lives (RAINN, 2009). Many who seek treatment present with issues unrelated to sexual trauma. Given the high percentage of sexual trauma survivors, it is very likely that you will encounter clients with such a history during your career, regardless of your specialization. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with a sexual trauma framework and skills specific to working with this population. While sexual trauma mostly occurs on an individual level, it also can have a significant impact on the family system. As a practitioner, you may intervene with the individual survivor, the parent(s) of a child who has been sexually abused, the spouse of a rape survivor, and/or the family system as a whole.
For this Discussion, select two types of sexual trauma from the readings this week and think about two interventions you might use for each and why.
By Day 4
Post a brief description of two types of sexual trauma. Then, describe two interventions you might use for each, and explain why you would select these interventions.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.

Is there one right way to lead? Research suggests there is no one right way. Leadership development programs generally teach a best-practices model, but experts suggest that individuals trained in leadership techniques that are contrary to their own nature risk losing the authenticity that is crucial to effective leadership. Review the following:
Chapter 12 of the textbook
Where do the leadership challenges of the 21st century exist?
What is the Leadership Challenge?
Can anyone become the leader of an organization and succeed? There are those who believe that leadership training is an effective method of transforming people into leaders while others posit that its part of your being and thus are born with the appropriate leadership traits to make an organization or nation state viable. Many companies conduct management training with a component of leadership embedded in the curriculum but how can leadership be best taught if, at all. This discussion will challenge our personal paradigms on this topic with focus on best methods as well as best theories for the right circumstances.
Given that there are multiple perspectives of the leadership challenges and how to develop our leadership practices, discuss the following:
From your experiences, what is the best theory/method for leading people into achieving a learning organization that evolves with the changing environment? (Chapter 12 or your textbook).
Should leadership techniques be taught, provide practical strategies we can use, and if it should be taught discuss experiential vs. didactic methods. (Use the CTU Library, ProQuest search engine on the topic of experiential vs. didactic methods.).
Are leaders born or made and how does your research on this topic impact leadership development within organizations? (Use the CTU Library, ProQuest search engine on the topic of leaders being born or made.)
Annotation of a Quantitative Research Article Assignment
Annotation of a Quantitative Research Article
This week, you will submit the annotation of a quantitative research article on a topic of your interest. Quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental are examples of types of research designs used in quantitative research.
An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.
Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.
Please use the document “Annotated Bibliography Template with Example” for additional guidance.
It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.
Use the Walden library databases to search for one quantitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
Before you read the full article and begin your annotation, locate the methodology section in the article to be sure that the article describes a quantitative study. Confirm that one of the types of quantitative designs, such as quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental, was used in the study.
Annotate one quantitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
Provide the reference list entry for this article in APA Style followed by a three-paragraph annotation that includes:
Format your annotation in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. A separate References list page is not needed for this assignment.
I am attaching the required readings docs and for the article on a topic I will let you choose, however, I am interested in the general behavioral and criminal behavioral topics, and you can choose the article from any scholar library databases it is only should be one quantitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal.
