  • Organizational Leadership Analysis
    Command and General Staff College Organizational Leadership Analysis 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team Scenario Barry Clark 2-5-2016 Organizational Leadership Analysis The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT), as fictionally depicted in the scenario provided, suffers from issues related to organizational culture, command climate and most importantly professional ethos among the officers of the formation. The scenario describes perceived issues, such as perceptions of perceived and potential sexual harassment, that on the surface seem problematic and perhaps should demand a priority of effort. Sexual assault and harassment are no doubt issues that receive great focus within the Army. As presented within the scenario these appear, without further data, red herrings designed intentionally or unintentionally to drive potential solutions toward those subjects. These issues, if they truly exist as a systemic problem within this organization are not the foundational issue at hand. The current climate and attitude related to the unit and the workload is not the real problem either, it is a mere symptom and perhaps an area of opportunity to address what is really wrong in this unit. The 4th ABCT suffers from an organizational culture problem, some of this is a result of bad trends that proliferate the Army as a whole and manifest themselves more prominently in some units. The organizational cultural problems in this particular unit have manifested themselves as a result of prior leadership failures to address them coupled with the crucible of operational stress than exacerbated the display of these bad trends in the overarching organizational culture of the Army in general. The new incoming commander has little time to effect change, and little hope of mitigating much of the operational pressure and stress that will continue to be placed upon his unit.

Mining for gypsum, or Plaster of Paris, began in Ontario in 1822 by Squire William Holme, first settler in the Paris area. Deposits of gypsum were found along the banks of the river both upstream and downstream of the town. For the first two years of mining, the gypsum was broken up by sledge hammers. In 1824, a race- way was dug to allow easy access to a grinding mill. The gypsum was sold to settlers as fertilizer and course plaster for housing.
