For that a leader must be aware about the present condition of the followers and their perception towards the situation. Perception is the way we think about or understand someone or something.

The challenges like increase in competition and advancement in the technology were tough to handle.

The security controls, policies, procedures, and guidelines were tested using the security testing plan that was evaluated by a security team to correct and report flaws in the system design. The only major flaw doesn’t relate to the network or the physical system itself, but instead policies and procedures seem to be at the highest risk. Policies and procedures explain that the chain of custody during media transportation and disposal should be logged and tracked impeccably. I believe putting stronger controls in place for the transportation of media would lower the risk of exposed confidentiality tremendously. I believe each device used to transport should be trackable at any given time, rather than just by logs.

Often, the way we perceive something is altered or controlled by someone/something. Like mentioned earlier, we have our more ordinary influences, like social norms/expectations. But in many cases our perception is tailored. In Brave New World, the Government had complete control over the society's perception. The Government did this by only allowing people to see what they wanted them to see, and not really supporting personal perception.

Transactional Leadership Frequently referred to as a managerial approach to leadership, the transactional leadership style is centered on improving efficiencies within an organization or team (McShane & Von Glinow, 2015). Leaders practicing the transactional approach focus on the details of the step by step processes and workflows using a reward and punishment system to encourage workgroup production (Dartey-Baah, 2015). As errors and inconsistent results are part of the expected norm, transactional leaders succumb to the belief that employees require ongoing monitoring and supervision to ensure compliance with the expected work practices. When used with an experienced high performing staff, the constant supervision and punitive nature of the transactional leadership style can be counterproductive, causing a decrease in production and satisfaction among some groups. In contrast, when used with newly formed production units, the transactional style has been known to improve employee engagement and response (Breevaart et al., 2014).

This essay will discuss the statement by William James, “-whilst part of what we perceive comes through our senses but another part (and it may be the larger part) always comes out of our head.” (James, 1890). This excerpt relates to the topic of perception, which can be defined as the acquisition and processing of sensory information to see, hear, taste, or feel objects, whilst guiding an organism’s actions with respect to those objects (Sekuler & Blake, 2002). Every theory of perception begins with the question of what features of the surrounding environment can be apprehended through direct pickup (Runeson et al. 2000). Is it only vague elemental cues that are available, and development and expansion through cognitive processes is required

The presence of gender issues and inequality within the 21st century was a future that most would have not predicted. The inequality between the two genders has been continuously present within society for a number of decades, yet the progress in which to decrease such issues has been nothing but slow. From the creation of great nations to the present day, women and men have always met at an impasse when it comes to equality; there is always something within society that highlights the gap between both genders in regards to treatment and respect. However, such thought has been caused by society’s inability to see women in a different light that is not under the shadow of a man. World famous author Virginia Woolf did the complete opposite.
