From the Paper
"The transformation of Chrysler Corporation under Lee Iacocca is consistently cited as an example of how effective leaders can turn around the performance of a larger organization through team dynamics (Jacobsen, House, 2001) (Hunter, Macduffie, Doucet, 2002), (Bell, 1996). At the center of the transformation of Chrysler is the redefining of teams that are essential to the new product development process (Lutz, 1994) combined with a passionate vision on the part of Mr. Iacocca to make the entire organization more lean and market-driven (Iacocca, 2007). Mr. Iacocca's vision of team dynamics included alleviating any wasted process, procedure, work group or product (Kouzes, Posner, 2004) while at the same time infusing a high level of accountability and ownership deep into the organization (Iacocca, Whitney, 2007), (Lutz, 1994) and (Harari, 1991)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Lastly, Iacocca greatly improved upon Chrysler's reputation for poor manufacturing quality which in essence affected auto sales and warranty costs. Two men were hired by Iacocca to improve manufacturing quality--Richard A. Vining, a graduate of the Chrysler Institute of Engineering, and Richard E. Dauch, the manufacturing executive at GM and Volkswagen of America. These two men, along with Iacocca's inventiveness, "reinstituted tighter quality control standards for parts and components and assured that all new Chrysler products would be of much higher quality than all previous models" (Wyden, 1987, 236). Also, Iacocca made some drastic changes in Chrysler's advertising program by replacing its two former ad agencies with Kenyon and Eckhardt, based in New York, which "changed the focus of Chrysler's advertising and made Iacocca the company pitchman which embodied the true basis for Chrysler's comeback from the brink of destruction" (Wyden, 1987, 238)."

From the Paper
"Following a pattern of common sense, Iacocca has stressed again and again the need for effective communication, stating that as a leader, one has to be able to talk to and motivate everyone involved in the project or company. For Iacocca, this has often meant being able to ?blend in? in any situation: ?He had to do a sales presentation in the
South, and even though these are the friendliest people anywhere, they tend to be cautious with outsiders. Rather than introduce himself as Lee Iacocca, he stated that his first name was Iacocca, and his family name was Lee. He no longer seemed to be an outsider, but one of the good ole boys? (Swinfin, 1998). Throughout his leadership experience, Iacocca has been praised for being able to build a bridge of communication between executives and labor. The keys to his management style appear to be quick and effective decision-making, and the ability to take risks."

"Toyota dominates the American market. Gas prices are soaring. There is a crisis in the Middle East of epic proportions. The worldwide demand for American cars has curled up and died and even American consumers are turning in droves to fuel-efficient Japanese models. An accurate portrait of the America automobile market today? Perhaps, but I'm talking about America in the early 1980s. Thanks to the inspired leadership of Lee Iacocca, Chrysler skyrocketed to the forefront of the auto industry once again, when industry analysts were writing the company's obituary."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the leadership styles of Lee Iacocca, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the Chrysler Corporation and Steven Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer. It begins with a brief review of three theories of leadership, situational, path-goal and transactional versus transformational and proceeds to describe how they can be related to the two managers. It examines their different personalities and the leadership styles that bought them notoriety.
From the Paper
"Situational leadership theory suggests that leadership style should be matched to the maturity of subordinates; in other words, to the situation encountered by the leader. Maturity in this situational context is assessed in relation to both psychological maturity and job maturity. Psychological maturity refers to the self-confidence and ability and readiness to accept responsibility of subordinates. Job maturity refers to the relevant skills and technical knowledge possessed by subordinates (Hersey & Blanchard, 1996)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although General Robert E. Lee is most often remembered as the man who opposed the end of slavery, he also played an important role in the Mexican-American War and the Reconstruction period and served as the superintendent of West Point and the president of Washington College (now known as Washington and Lee College). The author points out that Lee was the son of Light Horse Harry Lee, a famous military leader of the Revolutionary War. The paper relates that Robert E. Lee was arrested after the Civil War and indicted for treason; however, he was never tried. The paper states that, although Lee applied for a federal pardon in 1865, five years before his death, his application for restoration of citizenship was granted only in the 1970s.

Childhood and the Need to Follow in the Footsteps of His Father
Lee's Time at West Point

Lee's Death
From the Paper
"Lee began his service to the Confederate States by doing vital staff work to plan the army's attacks. His plans for the battle of Manassas were totally successful; this represented the first major victory of the war for the Confederate States. This was a shock for the North. The North had planned on a victory bringing a quick end to the war. But, the victory went to the South. Although Lee was unable to attend the Battle of Manassas (also known as the Battle of Bull Run), his battle plans led to the Southern victory. The South won this battle in great part to Lee's great military experience and battle strategies."

Abstract
This paper explains that Harper Lee?s "To Kill a Mockingbird" is well-crafted, using language that suits the mind of child. The author points out that, in contrast to Lee?s style in "To Kill a Mocking Bird", Shelley has a more complex style of writing as demonstrated in her language use, sentence structure, and higher-level vocabulary. The paper shows that both Shelley and Lee make use of quotations; however, Lee?s descriptions of scenes and the metaphors she uses indicate a skill that she exhibits to a greater extent in her book.
From the Paper
"Harper Lee?s descriptions in ?To Kill a Mockingbird? are quite plain as compared to those of Shelley?s. In her following words this fact is exemplified when she describes Maycomb as ?an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square?. The words that she has used here are direct and straightforward. They are easy to comprehend, even for school-aged children."

From the Paper
" "Rosa Lee" written by Leon Dash, investigative reporter for The Washington Post, chronicles four years in the life of Rosa Lee Cunningham's poverty stricken family in Washington, D.C. It is, in essence, a list of events that occurred between the years of 1991 and 1994 to Rose Lee, the 52-year-old link between a rural generation of sharecroppers and the growing urban under-underclass who survive through their "street smarts." Rosa Lee exemplifies the fact that in America the cycle of abject poverty and violence is an endless and continual spiral downward.
Dash describes his chronicle as a "close-up look at the interrelationships among racism, poverty, illiteracy, drug use, and crime, and why these problems sometimes persist from generation to generation (Dash, 1997, p. 7)."
The book is a stark, frightening example of crime and drugs as a.."

Abstract
A brief biography of Robert E. Lee, born in Stratford, Virginia, on January 19, 1807. The writer explores Lee's family background as well as his early entrance into military and political life. Lee was a staunch advocate of state?s rights and as such, resigned his commission from the United States Army and offered himself to the newly forming Confederate government and Jefferson Davis as a military advisor. The writer believes that Robert E. Lee was a great general who paid a high price for sticking to the principles he held most dear.
From the Paper
"Lee worked in various assignments in the U.S. Army following his graduation from the Academy as an Army engineer. In 1845, the United States went to war with Mexico, and Lee, then a captain, was assigned to General Winfield Scott?s staff. Lee?s job was to map the terrain the U.S. Army would be marching into. Eventually he moved into military leadership roles, including leading soldiers into battle (Brasington, 2003). In addition to valuable combat skill, Lee served with other officers he would fight against during the War Between the States, including George Pickett and Ulysses S. Grant."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief biographical account of Robert E. Lee's life and then takes a look at his military accomplishments and acumen. The paper considers how the Civil War would have been affected had Lee fought on the side of the North, discusses Lee's leadership of the Confederate Army, and examines how Lee's military career and life have had lasting impact on American history.
From the Paper
"Robert E. Lee was a significant figure in history and his actions impacted history in many ways. Lee is considered to be among other things, a great solider. He was also an ideal strategist and his decisions did lead to implications that can be seen today. Perhaps the most significant of his actions was choosing to support the Confederates. For example, had he decided to side with the North, the Civil War might have lasted less than a year. In addition, Lee?s actions had a ripple effect on the Emancipation Proclamation as well as the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. His life is a constant reminder of how individuals can shape history. "

Edgar Allan Poe's Poem: "Annabel Lee", 2007.
This paper analyzes the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe and notes that the poem shows great symbolism with images and feelings of love and death.

Abstract
This paper explains that the most important part of Poe's poem, "Annabel Lee", is the speaker's love for Annabel Lee and how his love is unaffected by her death. The author points out that the word choice in this poem, which uses words that give the feeling of a medieval fairy tale story, is one of the greatest aspects of the entire work. The paper relates that the speaker describes many series of opposites throughout the entire poem, such as the idea from the beginning through the end that the speaker says they are in a "kingdom by the sea". The author concludes that "Annabel Lee" was not a religious prayer or any type of sermon; but rather, Poe wrote this poem with the knowledge that love will stay forever.
From the Paper
"Many times throughout the poem the speaker tells about how heavenly beings and winged seraphs look down and how they wish they had the same love that the speaker and Annabel Lee share together. There is a possibility that these angels could have caused the death of Annabel Lee, or at least the speaker thinks this is a possibility. Many things such as jealousy could be explanations to why the angels, or devils, would have killed what was a great young relationship between two lovers. In the fifth stanza the speaker directly talks about these beings."
