Strategic planning is an essential part of any managerial activity, and the ability to perform it defines the quality of a leader. Strategic planning, in my vision, consists of setting priorities for the longer prospect and defining which operations the team should put their focus and energy on. However, there are common misconceptions about strategies since this process is somewhat fluid and unclear, yet it should not be mistaken for business planning. A distinguished scholar and author, Roger L. Martin, described his understanding of a good strategy. He stated that it should not be formed through long and careful research but should appear naturally through the «rough and ready» process, as only this way will the strategy exist outside the comfort zone. Although I agree with the second part of this statement, I believe that the research, modeling, and planning stages should not be excluded from strategic planning. The ability to foresee the execution and results of a project is not a natural human characteristic but one a person can learn. Consequently, at the beginning of their career, one inevitably needs to take a thorough approach to their decisions so that later they could expand their talent and act fast. Another crucial thing to remember is that strategic planning is not the same thing as business planning. Instead, these operations are separate parts of a bigger process. As Hauk (n.d.) states in her article, while the business plan describes what the company provides, how it does that, and who the customer is, the strategic plan explains the actions needed to achieve those goals. In other words, business planning involves imagining and setting goals, while strategic planning implies executing those goals and fitting that into the desirable timeline. To summarize, a strategic plan is a well-designed set of priorities and instructions needed to achieve the company’s goals. Strategic planning needs to exist outside the comfort zone, but the manager needs to study before he could perform it easily and quickly. Strategic planning is closely connected to business planning since these two build, structure, and execute everything stated in the global business idea. Reference Hauk, H. (n.d.)

Jamestown was the first English colony which was established in 1607 in Chesapeake Bay area in Virginia under the coordination of the London Virginia Company which was exploring gold in this area. After 10 years the colony of Plymouth was founded in Massachusetts Bay. Although they were started at the same time they both developed differently in terms of economically, politically. Politically Jamestown had the habit to change leadership often due to their lack in faith in the system of ruling making them become unstable politically for a long time compared to Plymouth had faith in their political leader making the region to be stable economically. The first legislative assembly was held in Jamestown this is where the American Heritage was started. While in Plymouth pilgrims initiated a self-governing agreement. Economically Jamestown had fertile soils and climate which were best for agricultural large scale plantations of tobacco making Virginia to be the chief exporter of tobacco. Its terrain provided secure defensive sites while Plymouth has poor soils for farming. It had good coastal regions which were best for harboring. Due to its deep water which was good for navigation and its geographical position made it an ideal place for trade. It had a lot of forests which attracted lumbering and construction of ships. It was also good place for fishing. Socially Inhabitants of Jamestown were inexperienced, lazy and had poor survival tactics lead to attack of diseases, lack of food and poor relations with Indians led to political instability and wars. Although Plymouth incorporated teamwork and hard work as part of their culture and values, they also died of hunger with were caused by natural catastrophes like diseases and other extreme environmental hazards. Religiously The Jamestown people are not devoted much into religion as it was not what brought them to the bay. The bay was started by people who were searching ph of wealth and gold. So they are not strict in religion this can evidenced in their yearly celebrations. The Jamestown remembered the day when their ancestors reached the Jamestown by celebrating the Thanksgiving Day. They Were Anglicans by faith which is England’s official Church. Religion was the chief reason why the people moved to the Plymouth. They came to this new world in order to avoid persecution and to run away from the corruption of the Dutch lifestyle which they felt will have an effect on their children losing their English lifestyle. They rebelled from Anglican Church and started their own church which is called congregational church. They gave thanks to God for his blessings annually.

Introduction: Orchestra Team Model as a Prerequisite for Leadership Use The study claims that the conception of efficient leadership may be constructed based on any group functioning model since it relies on the complex of standards, which predetermine a leader’s success. Thus, in this work, the attempt to transfer orchestra success on army efficiency is made. The subject of the investigation is Red Tops orchestra, which was founded under the direction of a gifted drummer, Walter Osborne, in 1953 (“Red Tops – Vicksburg” par. 1). Red Tops Group Functioning: Analysis and Implications The position of the orchestra was shaped under the influence of several critical elements, which defined the leadership direction. Primarily, the efficiency of the Red Tops team is assigned to the personality of Walter Osborne. Mainly, it is claimed that his ability to predict the needs of the team, as well as the rejection of negative behavior standards such as alcohol use, served the vital prerequisites for efficient leadership (Gage and Gage 232). Indeed, according to the theories of leadership, the creation of non-harmful conditions contributes to team success (“Core Leadership Theories” par. 6). Secondly, the successful functioning of the orchestra relied on the inner discipline and the establishment of certain rules, which formulated the cultural behavior within the group (Novicevic et al. 535). Specifically, Osborne gave special attention to long-term and short-term goals, which had to be achieved by the orchestra. Furthermore, the leader developed a stable system of performance monitoring, which is the main evaluator of team efficiency (“Setting clear targets and monitoring performance” par. 2). Conclusion: Applying Osborne’s Leadership Skills in the Modern Army The example of Red Tops may be applied for the military leadership system as well. According to army ethics, the reliability of soldiers is the main prerequisite of efficient service (“Maneuver Self Study Program” par. 6). The aim may be reached if one practices strict discipline rules, in the army. That is why, overtaking Osborne’s no-alcohol regulation, as well as taking up constant surveillance of army success, contributes to the facilitation of military efficiency. Conclusively, a good army leader has to use three critical Red Tops’ recommendations, which refer to behavior impact, goal and strategy establishment, and outcomes evaluation.

Introduction The field of management has experienced tremendous growth since the industrial revolution up to date. This advancement courtesy of numerous contributions from management theorists gave rise to new insights in the context of management science. In this paper, the analysis seeks to represent the inevitable contributions of Mary parker Follet, a classical theorist considered as the “prophet of management” following her discoveries that existed beyond her time (Graham, 2003). The analysis shall entail a critical evaluation of her three fundamental ideas that influenced the classical school of management thought, and their relevance to the contemporary management in the 21 st century. Discussion Follet has had a significant contribution o the field of management through her studies and ideas of the nature of an organization. Throughout her studies, she emphasized the need for establishment of common goals to all the employees of an organization. In her discovery, she asserted that absence of a common basis upon which employees could function potentially endangered an organization’s and individual performance. Setting of goals as a fundamental principle for an organization has had emphasis since goals establishes the future path of an organization (Graham, 2003). Studies indicate that her thinking varied extensively from her fellow contemporaries and theorists that lived before her. Her consideration of management from an organizational perspective gave new impetus to the field of management. She proposed that the process of management should be approached from an understanding of how an organization functions, instead of emphasizing the quantitative nature of employee performance. In demonstrating the need for a change in management approach, she discarded the command style and the rudimental treatment of employees as machines in the production process. Unlike her opponents in the scientific management, she believed that the robotic treatment of employees ignored the humanistic nature of employees, which negatively influenced an organization’s performance (Tonn, 2003). Using this thinking, it lends a lot of relevance to the modern theory of management in which organizations should treat their employees with dignity and compassion in order to achieve their long-term goals. She stressed the significance of people as contrasted to techniques. In her submissions, she suggested that people driven work had far-reaching effect on the outcome compared to the machinations and technical emphasis, which ignored the element of “pe
Shockwave-turbulent contact in the boundary layer is caused by a shock that sweeps along the border’s surface. This incident shows a strong interest in aeronautics and aerospace engineering. In practical cases, the SBLI is used as aerial wing-fuselage connectors, helicopter blades, and supersonic. A decreased efficiency in clean surfaces and excessive wall pressure changes can lead, particularly when the flow is segregated, to friction and systemic part exhaustion and full expense of heat transfer. Usually, it has significant weaknesses. Numerical Navier–Stokes equations were used to analyze contact with a rough edge of a conical shock wave spreading on a flat platform under the 2.05 Reynolds Mach numbers of 630 by its thickness. A circular cone with a halving angle = 25 0 produces the shock. Wall pressure showed a distinctive signature on the N-Wave, a sharp peak right past precursor shocks. The limit layer conduct of the applied pressure gradient is positively impacted. Streams will be deleted in the APG areas (adverse pressure gradient) but will quickly re-form in the FPG (Favorable Opioid Gradient) downstream. The first APG field is used as a three-dimensional average flow separation combined with the horseshoe vortex formation. In reference, the initial separation of the second APG region diffuses the reverse flow. The anisotropic approach in API regions and the anisotropic two-component in FPG provide for different amplification of turbulent components of tension. Boussinesq’s general suitability can be used to estimate rough shear stress organization in the vacuum. Eddy’s viscosity may also be added for all things, such as viscosity tensor eddy models or complete Reynolds stress closures. The actual shock induces a conical thickening of the border layer and the local separation to place the flat surface’s hyperbolic footprint. The miracle of the case is expressed in two conical shock waves, which reinforce upstream and the boundaries. The wall is given a distinctive N-wave signature of a central region of the APG, then an area of the FPG, then the APG’s secondary zone. Castillo and George (2001) suggested self-similarity is partially accomplished in APG environments, although the FPG region has significant departures. The tension components of Reynolds in the APG regions are amplified differently. DNS has been used to test, based on the Boussinesq theory, the validity of primary hypotheses. In future studies, the DNS database will also be expanded with tremendous shock and open cone angle and the unstable wall signature will be defined further. It can be concluded that the point of change is undoubtedly far more than the invisible theory. It is probably far above the idea of wave pattern suggests. They assume that the precise location of the shock point about the shape of the conical wave should be at least as prominent as the wave size will be challenging to estimate. DNS has been used to test, based on the Boussinesq theory, the validity of primary hypotheses. The boussinesq theory provides adequacy in the hypothesis by predicting the spatial organization of t
Data sources There are three data sources that the Defence Health Information and Technology System (DHITS) rely on. They are: Electronic surveillance system Keeping surveillance on infectious diseases is highly recommended since it keeps on high alert the biologists to find a cure to be well prepared for them to intervene before it is too late. This allows for faster eradication of the agents responsible for the outbreaks hence efficient infection control management, (Krause, Altman, Faensen, Porten, Bensler Pfoch, Ammon, Kramer and Claus, 2007). The decision-making in the infection and control programme is highly influenced since a lot of time is spent on analysis and surveillance to avoid wrong assessment of information and conclusions (Grota, Stone, Jordan, Pogorzelska, and Larson, 2010) There is a continuous decrease in the time spent for data collection since more innovations have created faster and easier data collection methods (Grota, Stone, Jordan, Pogorzelska, and Larson, 2010). To enhance better data quality, the web-based system that uses basic health information on every one should well encoded to avoid interruption of data, which might lead to wrong conclusions. Electronic medical records Electronic medical records lay at most computerized clinical facility to improve the health information system. Without them modern technologies that fully depend on computerized systems can affect the normal workflow in those medical facilities (Levy, 2004). Training of technical support staff may be necessary to accomplish our future oriented goals (Donelan, Rao & Ferris, et al, 2009) Drug safety-monitoring system Drug abuse has been rated to be the highest growing nation’s problem since most of the youths have succumbed to this hence the moral structure of the society have been destroyed. The hospitals and medical corporations have come up with a strategy whereby most of the drugs being imported are monitored and labeled first even before distribution (Isaacson, Fleming Kraus, Kahn & Mundt, 2000). Are organizations prepared for the loss of baby boomers? Baby boomers are the people who are a rich source of knowledge and usually can help the society very much if they were to share their knowledge among their fellow worker. Organisations are not well prepared for the loss of the baby boomers. A good working relationship between the old and the youths is of essence since there will be transfer of experience which will enable the younger generation to continue with the legacy in future times. The greater the mix of generations between the workers, the more information transfer occurs. Most of the younger employees tend to disagree with each and every rule that they are given by their superiors hence there will be very little development in that particular organisation. Lindenberger and Stolts-Loike, (2012) explain that
Counselling parents on children’s sexuality is a challenging task because parents often realize how fast their children are growing and that sexual development starts from birth. Thus, I would counsel parents about childhood sexuality based on evidence about what is considered normal sexual behavior what is considered abnormal sexual behavior at a certain age. I would also try to be sensitive to the culture of the parents, as some parents may still consider some behavior inappropriate despite evidence due to cultural peculiarities. I would also teach about how to respond to sexual behavior appropriately. The National Center on the Sexual Behavior of Youth (NCSBY, n.d.) states that there are two strategies for responding to the behavior: “in the moment” and “after the fact.” At the moment, the parents should pause to collect their thoughts and avoid emotional responses, redirect the behavior, listen to what the child has to say, and teach about appropriate behavior. After the fact, parents need to reflect on all the information and knowledge they have, prepare for the dialogue, and communicate with the child. In order to identify if sexual behavior is normal, one needs to understand that appropriate behavior differs depending on the children’s age. For instance, children aged 0-6 may touch their private parts in public, while at the age of five, some children start to feel shy about doing so and explore themselves in private (NCSBY, n.d.). Thus, in order to identify if the behavior is normal, it is crucial to have adequate knowledge about what is appropriate at a certain age and see if the child progresses on the path rather than regresses. Discussion: The Introduction of the HPV Vaccine Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transferred diseases that can cause different types of cancer (CDC, 2021). Thus, preventing HPV is crucial for reducing the chance of acquiring these cancers. Currently, vaccination for HPV is optional; however, it has been offered several times to make it mandatory (Ferris et al., 2010). The study by Ferris et al. (2010) appears to be based upon several cultural and sexual assumptions. First, the promotion of mandatory HPV vaccination implies that the researchers assumed that people are sexually active and far from being monogamous (Best et al., 2019). Research demonstrates that people who are not sexually active think negatively about mandatory HPV vaccination, as it is unneeded (Best et al., 2019). Similarly, people in long-term romantic relationships or married also think negatively of vaccination for the same reason (Best et al., 2019). Second, Ferris et al. (2010) do not have strong religious beliefs. Research shows that people with strong religious beliefs think negatively of immunization against HPV (Best et al., 2019). The primary reason for that may be that religious people think that the idea of vaccination against STDs promotes the assumption of being sexually active with numerous partners (Best et al., 2019). Religious people are mostly monogamous (Best et al., 2
The Colonialism approach used in Latin American history by Spain The most important aspect of how Spaniards went about colonizing Latin America is that the factor of religion played a crucial role in the process. In fact, the ‘Christianization’ of native populations represented the official agenda of Spanish conquistadors in the New World (Deagan 5). At the same time, however, their de facto agenda was concerned with the extraction of natural recourses (specifically gold) out of the conquered territories in Latin America, and with their transportation to Spain, so that Spanish monarchs could never experience the shortage of money, while waging religious wars in Europe. This is the reason why, ever since the beginning of the 17 th century, Spain started to fall behind Britain, in terms of a socio-economic and technological development – due to the considerations of religion, on their part, Spanish monarchs ended up squandering the money (obtained from selling the colonial gold) on a number of economically irrelevant purposes. Another important aspect of the Spanish policy of colonization in Latin America was the fact that, while expanding their colonial possessions in this part of the world, the Spaniards continued to assimilate with native populations rapidly. In part, this can be explained by the fact that, throughout the course of the 16 th and 17 th centuries, the overwhelming majority of newly arrived Spanish colonists consisted of single males, which were naturally inclined to marry native women, as the mean of legalizing their land-claims in Latin America (Ewen 39). Spanish colonists’ adherence to the theological provisions of Catholicism provided an additional boost to the earlier mentioned process, because according to this religion, one’s enthusiasm in ‘baby-making’ reflects the extent of the concerned individual being in favor with God (Lehrer 180). The third major aspect of Spanish colonization of Latin America is that the Spanish government never ceased striving to maintain a full control over the colonial settlements in this part of the world, while denying colonists the right to even talk about the prospects of a self-governing. In its turn, this resulted in slowing down the pace of Spanish colonies’ socio-economic development and in increasing the amo
