1.
- Identify the most important concepts, skills, or insights you gained from your learning throughout your Capella journey, based on Competencies 1–5.
I believe in Competency 1-5 I have gained a better understanding of the concepts, skills, and insights when it pertains to criminal justice rights and wrong ways of completing tasks and assignments. The most understandable concept is that no matter which type of field whether it’s within criminal justice or another field there will be rights and wrongs of how things are to be done. It will depend on the thinking and working progress of individuals. The most understandable skill would include communication if there is no communication within groups or members of a community then many individuals will tend to find justice on their own no matter if the officials agree or disagree with the result. The most understandable insight is that members and officials should work together no matter the similarities and differences of what is important such as safety and protection.
- Explain how you will use those concepts, skills, or insights in your current or future career.
To future my career I would broaden and choose certain concepts, and skills that will further my career such as make sure that every individual has a say on matter or issues that can make the community better.
- Express how the capstone course has changed your perspectives in a criminal justice career context.
It hasn’t changed much at the beginning of the course I was able to understand from a perspective that criminal justice is not only a field of study. It was more that those who were in the field needed to get a wider perspective and narrow their choices down. In which everything and anything is and can be a two-way street, and that a result can have a more than one result. Although the course is coming to an end, it has given me a more narrowed path that choosing a career should not only be life changing, and which it should give others the chance to express themselves as a person that everyone can work together.
2.
Identify the most important concepts, skills, or insights you gained from your learning throughout your Capella journey, based on Competencies 1–5.
- I think the most important thing I learned throughout this course was the fact that the depth of what it takes to be a good leader is extremely deep. It’s not just as simple as telling people what to do. It takes much more than that – ethics, conflict resolution techniques, professional communication skills, etc. There is a finesse to being a good leader and not everyone has that. You have to be driven, have good people skills, and be willing to learn and do what it takes to achieve your goals. Research is required to evaluate your successes and find solutions to your problems.
Explain how you will use those concepts, skills, or insights in your current or future career.
- The skills I have learned throughout this course will be extremely beneficial for me as a juvenile rehabilitation counselor. I will be instilling leadership skills in juvenile delinquents in order to ensure they live a crime free life. I will be able to teach juvenile delinquents conflict resolution techniques and communication skills that will help in all facets of their lives. I will be counseling them in life in general, so I will need as much help as I can get with learning leadership skills. I can teach these kids good ethics and morals that will help in all aspects of life as well. I can teach them research skills that will help them in school.
Express how the capstone course has changed your perspectives in a criminal justice career context.
- This course has shown me how much work it takes to be a leader. I have a lot more respect for leaders I have encountered. It has shown me how dedicated a leader has to be to be successful. It has shown me that a leaders role is important to any company or organization, especially in a criminal justice context. This course has also shown me how versatile and flexible a leader must be. They must be ready for anything and be open to anything. Like I said earlier, being a leader is not as simple as telling people what to do. There is a lot more to being a leader than most people realize.
Write a brief summary of the connection between social responsibility, ethics, and strategic planning in a small business setting.

Case Study:
Case Zappos: Facing Competitive Challenges Zappos, based in Las Vegas, is an online retailer. Its initial goal has been to be the best website for buying shoes, offering a wide variety of brands, styles, colors, sizes, and widths. The zappos.com brand has grown to offer shoes, handbags, eyewear, watches, and accessories for online purchase. Zappos’s vision is that in the future, online sales will account for 30 percent of all retail sales in the United States, and Zappos will be the company with the best service and selection. As a result, Zappos believes that it can become the online service leader, drawing customers and expanding into selling other products. Zappos believes that the speed at which a customer receives an online purchase plays a critical role in how that customer thinks about shopping online again in the future, so it focuses on making sure that items get delivered to customers as quickly as possible. In 2009, Zappos was acquired by the Amazon.com, Inc. family of companies, which share a strong passion for customer service. In 2010, Zappos had experienced tremendous growth, resulting in the need to restructure the company. Zappos was restructured into ten separate companies under the Zappos family umbrella, including Zappos.com, Inc. (the management company) and companies devoted to retail, gift cards, merchandising, and order fulfillment. Zappos has received many awards for its workplace culture and practices, including being recognized by Fortune magazine in 2013 as the #31 Best Company to Work For. Zappos CEO Tony Heish has shaped the company’s culture, brand, and business strategy around 10 core values: Deliver WOW Through Service Embrace and Drive Change Create Fun and a Little Weirdness Be Adventurous, Creative, and Open-Minded Pursue Growth and Learning Build Open and Honest Relationships with Communication Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit Do More with Less Be Passionate and Determined Be Humble Deliver WOW Through Service means that call center employees need to provide excellent customer service. Call center employees encourage callers to order more than one size or color because shipping and return shipping are free. They are also encouraged to use their imaginations to meet customer needs. Zappos’s employment practices help to perpetuate its company culture. For example, the HR team uses unusual interview questions, such as “How weird are you?†and “What’s your theme song?†to find employees who are creative and have strong individuality. Zappos provides free breakfast, lunch (cold cuts) and snacks, and a full-time life coach (employees have to sit on a red velvet throne to complain). Managers are encouraged to spend time with employees outside the office, and any employee can reward another employee a $50 bonus for good performance. Most employees at Zappos are hourly. All new hires complete four weeks of training, including two weeks working the phones. New recruits are offered $2,000 to leave the company during training—an unusual practice designed to weed out individuals who will not be happy working at the company. To reinforce the importance of the ten core values, Zappos performance management system asks managers to evaluate how well employee behavior demonstrates the core values, such as acting humble or expressing their personality. To evaluate task performance, managers are asked to provide employees with regular status reports on such things as how much time they spend on the telephone with customers. The status reports and evaluations of the core values are informational or used to identify training 53needs. Zappos believes in helping others understand what inspired the company culture. The company created the Zappos.com library, which provides a collection of books about creating a passion for customer service, products, and local communities. These books can be found in the front lobby of Zappos offices and are widely read and discussed by company employees. Zappos also believes that its culture is enhanced through use of social media, including blogs and Twitter, that links employees with one another and with the company’s customers. Also, Zappos takes the pulse of the organization monthly, measuring the health of the culture with a happiness survey. Employees respond to such unlikely questions as whether they believe that the company has a higher purpose than profits, whether their own role has meaning, whether they feel in control of their career path, whether they consider their co-workers to be like family and friends, and whether they are happy in their jobs. Results from the survey are broken down by department, and opportunities for development are identified and acted upon. For example, when it was clear from the survey that one department had veered off course and felt isolated from the rest of the organization, a program was instituted that enabled individuals in the group to learn more about how integral their work was. To keep the company vibrant, CEO Tony Hsieh is spending $350 million to develop a neighborhood in downtown Las Vegas, which will be the home of Zappos.Com new headquarters. Hseih wants to provide employees with a great place to work as well as to live and socialize. Visit the Zappos website at www.zappos.com. Go to the bottom of the page under “About†and click on “about.†Review the videos, the media kit, and the information provided about customer service, the family story, the culture, and the values. Review the Tweets especially those focusing on training, learning, and development. What challenges is Zappos facing that may derail its attempt to be the best online retailer? How can training and development help Zappos meet these challenges? Do you think that employees at Zappos have high levels of engagement? Why? Which of Zappos’s ten core values do you believe training and development can influence the most? The least? Why? Sources: Based on the Zappos website, www.zappos.com; J.

Anyone can become a project manager in a company. A project manager need not be a technology or subject expert, but trained in project management. However, it depends upon the abilities and personality of the person. The APA writing format is no longer required by IGlobal University but is a recommended writing format. It is important that your answers are written in your own words in white paper format. Your own insights are essential in order to demonstrate critical thinking abilities as well as behaviors and attributes of a successful project manager in the process.
