Read the following case and answer the question at the end:

As Zappos made its push toward holocracy, Hsieh decided to ramp up the efforts to an even higher level: Teal. Hsieh sent out a 4,700 word e-mail to all employees entitled “Reinventing Zappos: The Road to Teal.” Teal, supposed to be the next stage of development after holocracy, is characterized as “A new kind of organization designed to enable ‘whole’ individuals (not narrow professional selves) to self-organize and self-manage to achieve an organic organizational purpose.” In the memo, Hsieh essentially told the remaining employees to get on board or get out. Hsieh was not happy with the progress that had been made up to that point and wrote, “in order to eliminate the legacy management hierarchy, there will be effectively no more people managers.” John Bunch, the employee in charge of the move to teal says, “Teal is the goal; holocracy is the system.”
Hsieh even went as far as to offer the equivalent of three months’ worth of salary to employees who would quit the organization if they didn’t feel they could fit in. Over 200 employees (14 percent) took him up on the offer—a massive number of people given Zappos’s normal turnover rate of 1 percent annually. Clearly, not everyone felt comfortable in an organization with no clear leadership structure and very little to no legitimate power. One departed employee called holocracy “a social experiment [that] created chaos and uncertainty.” Others felt like “more employees are feeling like favoritism [and management issues are] becoming a bigger problem.” CEO Tony Hsieh remains undaunted. Hsieh says, “The one thing I’m absolutely sure of is that the future is about self-management.”
The move has not been bad for everyone. Less experienced individuals with less expertise have felt energized by their ability to speak up and have a voice. One employee whose prior boss blocked a job transfer stated that as soon as he figured holocracy out, “I was like, ‘Actually, my boss can’t tell me that.’” Jake McCrea, who teaches new hires about Zappos culture, states, “Holacracy is like a sport or a new language. You can read about it, you can hear people tell you about it, you won’t understand it until you start using it.” Even through all the issues, Hsieh stated, “I’ve been surprised at how hard it is to let go of the psychological baggage. In retrospect, I would have probably ripped off the Band-Aid sooner.”

Can an organization run effectively without leaders having some form of organizational power?

The National Partnership for Action (NPA) to eliminate health disparities has as its mission to increase the effectiveness of programs that target the elimination of health disparities through the coordination of partners, leaders, and stakeholders committed to action. NPA defines health disparity as "a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social or economic disadvantage. Health disparities adversely affect groups of people who have systematically experienced greater social and/or economic obstacles to health and/or a clean environment.

What is the validity to the assumption that migrating to the United States from other parts of the countries will have a profound effect on the cultural integrity of the kid growing up. **Basically I know the question maybe be confusing to understand but what I want to explore in this topic is the assumption people have with Americans having no culture and like other countries Pakistan or India, they have a sense of family hood here in the states sometimes we see kids become distant from parents etc, and I want to explore what is the reason behind it. Even in TV commercials sometimes they openly joke about marital couples not hanging out with parents etc. Which is kind of sad to some degree so this is something I want to possibly discuss about and try to make sense of whats exactly going on could be technology advancement people having less interaction with each other etc.

In chapter 12 we discussed Stereotypes, Prejudice and Discrimination. We all have them, and acknowledging them is important, and often uncomfortable. For your final Reaction paper, I would like you to think about a specific stereotype or prejudice you hold. Discuss your stereotype or prejudice and reflect on it, explaining where it came from, what reinforcements you've received in regard to it and how it has affected your behavior.
