A recent poll shows Americans are gaining confidence about economic recovery, but still harbor much anger toward politicians. Many indicate they would prefer to elect individuals without experience in Congress in order to break free from the status quo.
M1. Examine the Leader-Participation Model and the three rules for making decisions. How should these rules influence the way politicians vote? Are any of these rules contributing to how the public feels about politicians at the moment?
M2. One could argue that President Barack Obama swept into office on the strength of his vision and charisma. Yet dissatisfaction with politicians suggests that Congress is anything but transformational in terms of leadership. Discuss what our nation’s political leaders must do to be effective transformational leaders.
M3. Step out of the main portion of the chapter and review the Learning About Yourself feature on integrity. Does integrity have anything to do with the way Americans in general feel about politicians (as leaders)? How?

Uchunguzi wa hivi karibuni unaonyesha kuwa Wamarekani wanaanza kuwa na ujasiri kuhusu uokoaji wa kiuchumi, lakini bado wana hasira kubwa dhidi ya wanasiasa. Wengi wanaonyesha kwamba wangependa kuchagua watu wasio na uzoefu katika Bunge ili kujikomboa kutoka kwa hali iliyopo. M1 - M1 Kuchunguza Kiongozi-Ushiriki Model na sheria tatu kwa ajili ya kufanya maamuzi. Kanuni hizo zapaswa kuathirije njia ambayo wanasiasa hupiga kura? Je, kuna sheria yoyote ya aina hii ambayo inaweza kuathiri jinsi watu wanavyowaona wanasiasa? M2 "Mtu anaweza kusema kwamba Rais Barack Obama alipata madaraka kwa nguvu ya maono yake na charisma yake.""" Hata hivyo kutoridhika na wanasiasa huonyesha kwamba Bunge ni chochote lakini mabadiliko katika suala la uongozi. Zungumzia kile viongozi wa kisiasa wa taifa letu lazima wafanye ili kuwa viongozi wa mabadiliko yenye ufanisi. M3 "Kutoka sehemu ya kwanza ya sura hii, angalia ""Jifunze Kuhusu Wewe Mwenyewe"" kuhusu uaminifu-mshikamanifu." Je, uadilifu una uhusiano wowote na jinsi Wamarekani kwa ujumla wanavyohisi kuhusu wanasiasa (kama viongozi)? Kwa njia gani? "S.
