MPA604 M5D1: The Myth of Doing it All Part 1

I need them in question/ answer format.

Each part has to be at least 500 words.

Sandberg examines in Chapter 9 of Lean In the “myth of doing it all” and focuses on the guilt or anxiety that mothers who work outside the home often feel about their choices. This drive to try to do it all can cause burnout not only for women, but also men. In this discussion, you will contemplate ways to help yourself and your team to avoid burnout. This will increase productivity and job satisfaction, and will make you a better leader and your team more effective. As Sandberg argues, the “best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately—to set limits and stick to them.”

Respond to the following:

• Provide specific ways in which you, as a leader, will support your team to help them avoid getting burned out. For example, share what kind of team environment you will create and what workplace policies you will champion.
• Now that you have considered how to prevent your employees from getting burned out, how will you ensure that you do not get burned out yourself? What policies will you take advantage of yourself?

M5D2: Discrimination in the Workplace Part 2

In 2011, New York University (NYU) reached a $210,000 settlement in a case filed by a mailroom employee from Ghana alleging racial and national origin harassment. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) report, the mailroom supervisor in NYU’s library regularly addressed this employee with slurs such as “monkey” and “gorilla” and insults such as “go back to your cage” and “do you want a banana?” The supervisor also called the employee’s accented English “gibberish” and expressed hostility to African immigrants. Although the employee made several formal complaints, NYU took months to investigate and then took virtually no corrective action, even after being alerted that the supervisor had retaliated against the employee for filing complaints.

Although NYU is a private university, this lawsuit could have come out of any number of public institutions. Reflect on the ethical, legal, and leadership aspects involved in this case.

Respond to the following:

• Share your overall reaction to this case.
• From ethical and legal standpoints, how should University leadership have handled this situation?
• What does “effective leadership” require in dealing with this type of situation?
