ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR2Task 1There are differences between traits and behavioral theories of leadership. Trait theories of leadership believe that leaders are born and that people cannot be taught or nurtured to become leaders (Dinh, et al.2014, p.50) while behavioral theories of leadership advocate that leaders are made by being taught and nurtured to acquire the needed skills that can enable someone to become a leader (McCleskey, 2014, p.117). Trait theories describe leaders in terms of personal characteristics possessed by the leader such as intelligence, self-confidence, and determination and this is the reason they advocate that leaders cannot be made because these traits cannot be taught. On the other hand, behavioral theories describe leaders in terms of what they do and the roles they play such as listening, encouraging and empowering other people. Some aspects of the theories are true because some traits and behaviors are common in most of the leaders such as intelligence (Antonakis, and House, 2014, p.760). The organization can selectand develop effective leaders by identifying people who can build trust easily, strong communication skills, good listening skills and ability to motivate others. The identified persons are then taught, nurtured and instilled in them leadership skills that can be taught (Stoller, 2014, p.235). The organization trains the selected people to become effective leaders. Skills to be taught include empowering other people and encouraging othersTask 2.Organizations need to motivate employees so that they can feel comfortable. To achieve this, organizations have to pay their staff what they are worth (Cerasoli, et al.2014, p.980). Employeesshould be compensated well so that they can get value for their offered services. To motivate their staff, great working places ensure that their employees have an opportunity to develop their

The employees are also motivated when the organization creates a conducive working environment and culture that will ensure that employees are happy and they have the needed energy to perform their roles well.The organization should also set clear goals that are well communicated. This will encourage the staff because they know what they should achieve and when they do so, they feel motivated. Theorganization should allow the employees to lead and have a chance to work creatively without strictly following routine ways of performing the duties (Durant, et al.2006, p.510). This enables the employees to feel like leaders, and they have a chance to put their creativity and innovation to good use, and this will make the organization one of the best to work for.Task3.Revenge is a drama series created by Mike Kelley. I loved the television series, but my friend didnot like it because of various factors. One of the factors is the background of the series. The series begins by showing events that happened later in the series and my friend hated this very much because it created a lot of unnecessary suspense. The other factor that is causing different perceptions towards the series is the value and beliefs. The series is advocating for revenge. This is contrary to what we are told in school and churches as we are told we should not practice tit for tat because it is not a fair game. The series was against my friend's beliefs, and that is why he hated it.The other factor is past experience. Past experience can cause someone to have different opinions to what other people are enjoying.
