Read the UWEAR and PALEDENIM scenario found here. You will first meet with the CEOs of each organization, Theresa Tramlin and Mike Miller, to help them understand their important leadership roles for the success of the merger.
After reviewing the course materials for this week, prepare your recommendations for them regarding their approaches to leading the merger.
The merger is a significant change for both organizations; there is growing anxiety and uncertainty among the employees of both organizations. The goal is to complete the merger in a way that maintains employee performance and allegiance to the merged organization.
Both CEOs were promoted from managerial positions, so one of your tasks is to help them understand how to distinguish the two roles.
Issues to address include, but are not limited to, the following:
•How will you explain the difference between managing and leading, to set the stage to help Theresa and Mike focus on leading?
•What leadership approaches will be effective in leading the merger? Include at least 3 approaches, and explain in what circumstances those approaches should be used and why.
•Consider the research findings by Kabacoff (1998) that, although men and women are perceived as equally effective in leading, women tend to focus more on production, attaining results, and people, while men tend to focus on strategic planning, organization vision, and business tasks. If this is the case in this situation for Theresa and Mike, what are the implications for their leadership during the merger?
•Reflect on your own experience as a leader, if not professionally, then in the community or family. With which leadership approaches are you most comfortable? What are the implications for you if you were one of the leaders in this scenario?
The materials found in the M.U.S.E., intellipath, and INTD670 CTU Library Guide will help you with this assignment.
For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

News Story
Record-smashing heat wave kills 33 in Quebec
Dan Bilefsky, The New York Times
MONTREAL – Thirty-three people have died in Quebec from one of the worst heat waves to hit eastern and central Canada in decades, the authorities said on Thursday, underscoring the vulnerability of elderly, ill and poor people during the hot summer months.
Dr. David Kaiser, the senior physician at Montreal’s public health agency, said that most of those who had died from the heat in Montreal were 65 or older, had histories of health problems or mental illness and had been living without air-conditioning.
He said that disadvantaged people who had chronic illnesses or were living alone were particularly vulnerable. “While we are an advanced industrialized economy, these deaths reflect that there are serious social inequalities,” he said, adding that many wealthy countries the world over had been hit by heat waves associated with climate change.
Public health authorities in Quebec have made a concerted effort to improve the reporting of heat-related deaths. They have set up a special liaison program with hospitals and emergency rooms to monitor heat-related illnesses and mortality, Dr. Kaiser said, which may explain why the number of deaths seems high compared to elsewhere in the nation.
On Thursday, as temperatures in Montreal rose to 93 degrees – 23 degrees above the average daily temperature for July – local residents sought refuge in park fountains or remained inside in air-conditioned homes or offices. Some elderly residents canceled appointments and stayed at home, eager to avoid the stifling heat outside.
Home appliance stores have been mobbed in recent days, with residents trying to buy air-conditioners, only to discover that all the units are sold out. At a sprawling Home Depot store in central Montreal, about 20 shoppers were seen fighting this week over the last remaining air- conditioner. “It’s survival of the fittest,” said Victor Perchet, who managed to get it.
Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for southern Quebec, much of Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. To protect themselves against the heat, it called on residents to drink six to eight glasses of water a day, to avoid alcohol, to spend at least two hours a day in air-conditioned or cool places and to avoid leaving children or babies alone in sweltering vehicles.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to Twitter to warn people to be vigilant. “My thoughts are with the loved ones of those who have died in Quebec during this heat wave,” he wrote. “The record temperatures are expected to continue in central and eastern Canada, so make sure you know how to protect yourself & your family.”
Police and firefighters in Montreal visited 15,000 homes this week to check on elderly residents. The emergency services in Montreal said they had experienced a sharp increase in calls since the heat wave began – a total of some 1,200 calls a day.
Mayor Valérie Plante of Montreal called on the city to come together to protect against the heat, including knocking on neighbors’ doors “just to find out if the person is O.K.” She added, “It’s a team effort.”
Canadians were expected to get some relief from the heat wave, which began on June 29, when temperatures fall on Friday. The forecast in Montreal for Friday is a high of about 73 degrees.

Does the United Nations matter as an international organization? Should we take it seriously as an actor in international politics? Use current events as examples to support your argument. Use readings and lecture as well.
Here are some guidelines for writing your paper.
First, in about one paragraph explain what the UN is. Describe its membership, its charter, and the structure of the UN.
Second, identify two or three criteria that you will use to evaluate whether or not the UN “matters.” The word “matters” is vague and deliberately so because it allows you to select the criteria that you want to use to evaluate it. To get some ideas, just do a Google search “Is the UN a failure?” You will find a lot of people have some really strong ideas. You can also look specifically for academic journal articles. A good way to locate articles: go to libraries.unl.edu, click on “Resources & collections,” and then using the dropdown menu select “Databases,” and scroll down to Google Scholar. Click on that, and for search terms type in “united nations” and “is the UN a failure.” This will identify articles that critique the UN and they might give you really good ideas for your paper. So take some time and read through the book, listen to the lecture, and then perhaps locate 1 or 2 sources on the web. Be sure to cite them and be aware that sometimes our sources on the web are pretty bad. You can also use JSTOR as a search engine. Both Google Scholar and JSTOR are much more likely to produce good quality academic sources, but of course is not as user friendly as Google.
3. Finally, summarize your argument and conclude the essay.
4. Include a list of references. This does NOT count toward the 3 pages. Here is a link to a guide to cite sources using APA format: http://www.bibme.org/citation-guide/apa/ You are welcome to use other styles of citation. Just be sure to cite. It is a good habit to have.
