Abstract
This paper examines how leadership plays a vital role in corporate communication and accountability.

Content:
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
"Today one of the most common tools of communications is the internet, and this was developed from an information sharing system originally developed by the US Department of Defense in the early part of the 1970s, when it was known as ARPA- Net. (Herman & Swiss, 2000). This has today grown into a worldwide network and reaches almost every computer that exists, and thus has networks linking millions of people through millions of computers. Some view this system only as an information resource, and certainly it has information resources, which can be easily tapped, but it is also a very powerful communication tool with some different ways of communication between different people in different parts of the world."

Abstract
The American workforce is increasingly reflecting the changing American demographic. "Minorities" like women and people of color are occupying more management and leadership positions in the business world and corporate America. Their presence has begun to trigger changes in how companies are managed and in the broader areas of corporate culture.
However, in many ways, women in business continue to face unique problems because of their gender. This paper discusses how these difficulties continue to form barriers for women in the business world. The effects of gender stereotypes and expectations can be seen in virtually all aspects of employment - from hiring practices to wages, from chances for advancement to retirement benefits. This paper examines how factors like unequal pay and a male-dominated corporate culture help to ensure that the American corporate world remains largely an enclave of men.
Paper Outline:
Unfair Hiring and Advancement Practices
Gender Wage Gap
Male Corporate Culture
Sexual Harassment
Retirement
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"In a study designed to examine double standards in the hiring process due to gender, researchers found that women faced a double set of expectations. First, they had to be able to perform competently and exhibit typical masculine qualities such as "assertiveness." However, particularly when vying for high-status jobs, women are also expected to demonstrate "feminine" traits like empathy and tact. The women who did not have these so-called "feminine" traits were considered less suitable for employment. However, male applicants were not judged based on the presence or absence of these "feminine" traits (SooHoo)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that corporate value is an objective assessment of how well the company is managed. The paper analyzes the creation, managing, measuring and occurrence of corporate value in the current competitive business environment. The paper shows how defining corporate valuation requires a careful analysis of the corporation's financial data, share holder price, management methods, such as communication, and the overall manner in which the corporation is run.
Outline:
Introduction
Measuring Corporate Valuation
Creating Corporate Value
Managing Corporate Value
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In recent years, competition among corporations involved in all sectors of business industries has dramatically increased, bolstering the significance placed on "corporate value." With increased competition and greater awareness among investors, new and innovative ways of measuring corporate performance are being developed (Girotra, 2001). These corporations have recognized the need for customer-driven quality, which can only be implemented through a strong, adaptable, and effective form of management. As a result, corporations must be committed to create, manage, and measure corporate value as a determination of the business' financial success or failure."
