Introduction
Communication and Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For a future at HealthSouth, strong leadership based on values will remain key. This type of leadership involved a certain level of emotional intelligence where feelings of powerful do not become overwhelming. Of course if leadership and responsibility are equally shared, then power will be as well. The key to effective leadership does not come from charisma but from integrity and sharing information. Hughes (2004) writes an effective leader will have impact upon their team and this is "apparent in the growing interest over the past decade in topics like the leader's genuineness, authenticity, credibility and trustworthiness" (p. 3). A leader's reflection of these attributes is found in their level of connectedness with employees. As a result leaders are more interested in mentoring and training their team rather than focusing on output of numbers or turn around time. These qualities are a good indicator for selecting a potential manager. This development in team building allows for "providing people opportunities to learn from their work rather than taking them away from their work to learn" (Hughes 4). "

From the Paper
"The purpose of the Nehemiah Corporation of California?named from a Biblical story in which Jerusalem was rebuilt?is to provide affordable income to people. "Don Harris the founder of the Nehemiah Corporation of California, started this program at a time when government funds for housing and affordable housing programs were disappearing throughout our nation, and along with them, the American Dream of affordable home ownership. Now, The Nehemiah Program? is the largest privately-funded down payment assistance program in the nation. Since 1997, The Nehemiah Program? has assisted over 97,000 homebuyers to become homeowners nationwide." (Broder). Harris is a real estate lawyer who was approached by the owner of a 120-unit townhouse complex, annoyed that most of his prospective tenants couldn?t afford to pay the down payment required for the homes. Harris then researched FHA and IRS regulations to learn that it was legal for a family member or a non-profit organization to donate money for down payments to qualified buyers."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Xerox Corporation works aggressively to minimize the impact its products have on the environment and to encourage its employees to be socially active in supporting their community. The author points out that the Xerox Corporation's help in protecting the environment by recycling 65% of the toner cartridges used in their machines and re-manufacturing machines, which also carry the same warranties as new machines, has been good business. The paper relates that a unique program of the Xerox Foundation is to grant employees paid sabbaticals, from three to twelve months in duration, to pursue activities away from their regular work at Xerox, such as working with battered women, mentoring troubled children, working with people who have AIDS, or developing more community resources for those who take care of the elderly.
From the Paper
"When a company provides both manufacturing and service, it becomes profitable for them to produce products that are durable, easily repaired, and eventually recycled. This is the approach Xerox took when it shifted its marketing emphasis from the selling of copying machines to the leasing of copying machines. Where decades ago they focused on selling copier equipment, now they lease, and have an incentive to extend the usefulness of their equipment."

From the Paper
"Arai Shinya?s Shoshaman: A Tale of Corporate Japan details the life of a middle-aged shoshaman (or salaryman) in a large sogo shosha, a Japanese General Trading Company. Sogo shosha came into existence when Japan began to modernize after World War II. They engage in the whole scope of industry and are considered the backbone of the Japanese economy (Shinya 1991). Shinya captures the management structure and the power struggles that beset a shoshaman on his rise to senior management level. Sogo shosha is a mind-set of its own, locked in tradition, culture and absolute loyalty to the company. The shoshaman is the modern day samurai. He is willing to sacrifice his life so to speak, willing without pause to hold the interests of the company above his own (Shinya 1991). A shoshaman begins his career, after obtaining a degree from a university, in a two year training school, where he rooms and boards with others who are entering the sogo shosha world. Like disciples of a religious faith, they see the sogo shosha as the answer to any of life?s questions. Whatever the problem or sacrifice, the answer and reward must surely lie at the end of their life?s work, a safe and secure senior position within the company. Their entire mental and emotional attitude, as well as their physical conduct and behavior is a lifelong grooming process for that safe company position. It is taken as seriously and often as fanatically as the promise of life after death in religions. Actually, it could be likened to a cult, a mentality that fears the unknown and feels threatened by any outside beliefs (Shinya 1991)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The company faces high potential risks related with workplace human rights violations as it operates in nations where, according to the U.S. Department of State's 2003 Human Rights Reports, workplace human rights are not sufficiently protected in law and practice. These are countries like China, Indonesia, Chad, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola and Nigeria. Exxon Mobil took the first step by mentioning that its standards of business conduct, its global framework for responsible functions, match up to the spirit and intent of the principles of the ILO Declaration. On the other hand, the shareholders believe that the company's true adoption and implementing of a workplace human rights policy are still missing. Even today, the policies set forth by the company do not incorporate the principles of the ILO Declaration."
