Please answer parts 2 & 3. Part 1 is complete. Thank you in advance!
1. Discussion (5 Points) We've all been in situations where someone's got to take charge- someone has to step up and, you name it,to make a decision, take the first step, write their name down, make a suggestion, take responsibility, say I've got it!, lead the way, and so forth. It can be hard to publicly take a stand, but that is what leaders do: They step up. How do you feel when someone else steps up in a situation where you could have, but didn't? Can you identify differences between people who do and people who don't step up? In the past, I have felt disappointed in myself for not standing up and taking a leadership role in a situation where I felt like I should have. However, my mindset has changed to learn from these experiences, and remember these situations for the future. People who do stand up tend to be more extroverted, while those who do not step up tend to be introverted, shy, or quiet. In situations where a leader is to step up, introverts who do not tend to step up can learn from extroverts who sometimes make it easier for people to do So. 2. Discussion (5 Points) When narcissism is present in a leader, how can it be harnessed by the leader, and by followers, to work to the positive rather than the negative? Is there a tipping point up to which a bit narcissism works to the positive and then suddenly turns negative? If so, how can we find and recognize this tipping point in ourselves and take action to avoid it? 3. Problem Solving (10 Points) You have just been hired by the CEO of a small, but quickly growing data analytics firm that has an expanding customer base and a desperate need for go- getters to take charge of new customer segments, geographic territories, and product matrices. These are all high-class problems for a business to have, because it means that more, new, and different revenues are coming in faster and faster. Because this is a high- margin business, you've been offered a great compensation package, lots of opportunities for autonomy, and essentially the chance to run your own business-your own portfolio of products, geographic region, and customer base. You just graduated, and you've been given a lot of responsibility-responsibility for assembling your own team, developing a strategic plan for your territory, executing a strategy, motivating your followers, giving your customers confidence, figuring it all out, and making it happen. How might the different aspects of the narcissistic personality play a role in making this all happen
