Originality

Many leaders have hired firms to make expensive television ads, some have used social media, and have even used giveaways to capture consumers. Although these strategies may work, the only way for any strategy or method to work is with the leaders at the top to display original leadership. Consumers today are looking for that out-the-box thinking, something different, originality. According to (Llopis, 2014), “to be an original leader requires new levels of thinking that most wouldn’t have the courage to explore and put into action. Originality stems from one’s desire not to be average, common or just like everyone else. It requires you to think carefully about the people you associate yourself with, the environment of leaders you surround yourself with, and the outside factors that shape the ways you lead – in other words, the totality of things that influence your thinking, how you act and when you take action”. The article suggests that leaders must approach all aspects of the business with an originality leadership style. Having that ability to be original allows the product or services being offered to be more of an eye opener to consumers rather than a common commodity. The article outlined four characteristic that an original leader such the CEO of LightSpeedVT possesses; these characteristics include, potent pioneers, different view, not self-focused, and…

to the cast. When reviewing the complexity of this assignment, my goal was to create something that was original and that I would not suspect another classmate of mine would create. Between my love for history and respect for the arts, I wanted to challenge my artistic self into examining an under-recognized work of art and suggest its creative elements that are often overlooked. In order to identify and mimic the creative prospects of the work that elicit detail, I had to admire certain…

Why is originality such a commodity? Paul Rand once said, “ Don’t try to be original, just try to be good.” However, designers these days as compared to the past are more preoccupied with the notion of originality, where they value the idea of being new and different from the rest. Having their work complimented as being original has become something that most designers would like to achieve. It feels as though being complimented with being original gives some sort of assurance and affirmation…

OTHER SECTION It is clear that Gaye’s composition on paper is protected, but it is also clear that the style Gaye’s composition reflects is an idea that is not protected, pursuant to section 102 (b). Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 102(b) (2012). The question then becomes, whether Appellants attempted to reflect the style of Gaye’s piece, or whether they attempted to build on an already completed composition to create a derivative song that paralleled the original, pursuant to section 103.…

How the authorial intent affects the value is also dependent on whether or not the creator succeeded in their purpose, viz whether or not the reader can infer an intended meaning from the text thus the creator’s role is to make this intent effective to understand (Aagaard-Mogensen, 1986 p28). However, the view that there is only one meaning, and that others are incorrect and/or irrelevant limits the value that can be interpreted from the piece. Here the intentional fallacy comes into play, the…

No matter the subject matter in which the concept of originals is discussed, they carry a valuable connotation. Taken for face value, and without a mindset well versed in any social science, originals are merely seen as items, tangible or intangible, that are more expensive than forgeries and less common as well. However, after reading “Time Maps” by Zerubavel and watching Bloom's Ted Talks speech, it becomes evident how their approaches of historical continuity exemplify how originals act as…

The last line of logic that stuck out to me is experimental originality. This line of logic provides material that contributes information and research to the field. It also makes sure the research has not been excessively repeated in other studies. Dr. Inge has brought new data to this field of study. He has answered questions that have not been addressed before making his primary study original. By analyzing outcomes of each patient’s surgery after three years, these authors brought a rare…

Originality is a concept which has changed and evolved over hundreds of years. Indeed, the definition of originality, as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as the “ability to think or express oneself in an independent and individual manner” , has not always been so rigid. In the Elizabethan era the concept of originality was not concerned with whose idea was whose. In fact, originality was all about how the idea was portrayed, for instance, whether it was performed on stage or by other…

From the first paragraph onwards, authenticity and originality strikes Baca’s reader. This authenticity is displayed through unparalleled illustrations and explanations full of colors and feelings, “ambulance sirens shrieked and squad car lights reddened the cool nights, flashing against the hospital walls: gray-red, gray-red”. This originality creates an atmosphere of a person sharing his whole life story to tell people the importance of expressing yourself. Baca’s has experienced enormous…

In a world full of colors, not one is the same shade. The influence in environments people live and grow up in may disguise who they really are. Fitting in with surrounding humans takes away from people’s true colors. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” because originality shines through and inspiration saves the fearful. The only thing that makes us all the same, is the fact we aren’t. “ Only dead fish go with the…
