various debate on whether gay marriages should be allowed in the society exist. Homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle and against the societies morals and therefore should not be encouraged at all grounds.

Personal Thinking Styles The LSI Assessment was an illuminating exercise and for the most part is congruent with my own self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses as they relate to managerial and leadership behaviors. My top style is Affiliative (99% percentile) followed by Self-Actualizing (97% percentile). My greatest limiting factor is Approval (95% percentile). My two greatest styles are exemplified in how I choose to organize and manage student and work projects, looking to ensure everyone has a voice in the project and feels a strong sense of ownership for its value. I believe that affiliation is stronger than power or ordering people to do their jobs. If employees are completely dedicated to the tasks internally they'll push themselves harder and further than anyone could do through the use of transactional leadership techniques (Arond-Thomas, 2004). Possibly given the many jobs I've had earlier in my life that were very much managed through a power-based approach to management, I still resent leaders who are autocratic and rely just on their position to literally push employees around. While power is celebrated in many management and leadership texts and the popular media, I think it is the ugliest form of leadership. It is the lazy way to get work done as a manager. It is far more difficult, and rewarding, to get employees to believe in the vision of a business and feel they "belong" and "fit in". I feel these two values are extremely important for any employee, including myself when working for a business or on a student project. These are the values and precepts that also underscore transformational leadership and the ability to make lasting, long-term and very significant changes to any organization's direction and ability to compete (Gurley, Wilson, 2011). Having had to at times participate in virtual learning and working teams, I've found that affiliative leadership skills work well for mitigating misunderstandings and breaking down the barriers between students and employees. Affiliative leadership is an excellent trait for managing and leading virtual teams as well (Gurley, Wilson, 2011).

Carl Rogers introduced the non-directive form of therapeutic communication wherein the nurse or therapist leads the patient to his own discovery of his own recovery. This theory was revolutionary during Rogers time when therapeutic communication was almost exclusively the therapist's and the patient only accepts.
