Introduction The use of leadership qualities in the workplace involves not only stimulating the activity of colleagues but also participating in conflict resolution. Appropriate strategies aimed at maintaining a favorable working microclimate allow achieving high-performance outcomes and avoiding misunderstandings in the team. Regardless of the type of conflict (interpersonal, group, and other forms), correct approaches should be followed by team leaders in order to prevent tense situations. On the example of one of the recent conflicts that occurred in the workplace, it is possible to describe the importance of leadership measures with regard to the problem discussed. The outcomes of the disagreement were positive, which, nevertheless, cannot guarantee the absence of the repetition of a similar situation in the future. The role of the leader in resolving conflicts in the workplace is significant, and maintaining an appropriate style of work is to be an indispensable condition for labor activities. Situation Description Conflicts in the workplace always bring inconvenience to both its immediate participants and colleagues who are forced to engage in their activities in a tense atmosphere. The recent case is the proof of this statement, and almost all the members of the collective were involved in an unpleasant case. It was the misunderstanding that occurred between my two colleagues on the basis of disagreements in the performance of a specific task. I happened to witness a nascent quarrel and call colleagues to order. Nevertheless, a consensus was not reached long, and both parties stood by their opinions. Despite the fact that only two members of the team sorted things out, all the staff was involved in their case since the further mode of work depending on the adoption of this or that decision. Some members of the group took the side of the initiator of the conflict, and some supported the other one. As a result, work was suspended, and serious tension was felt among colleagues. This case cannot be considered an insignificant disagreement between two employees. According to Einarsen, Skogstad, Rørvik, Lande, and Nielsen (2018), “interpersonal conflict may come in the shape of isolated incidents” (p. 553). However, in this context, different participants were involved, which necessitated the search for appropriate resolution strategies. I managed to talk to both sides and find out the reasons for their discontent. If I had not done it, it is likely that the consequences of misunderstanding would have been alarming, and significant challenges would have been observed in the process of work. Thomas-Kilmann Assessment in Relation to the Conflict When evaluating the degree of conflict and its possible consequences, it is possible to pay attention to those current theoretical concepts that
The novel “Neverwhere” describes a fictional and seemingly non-existent place in the world. The people of one city stay invisible to one another but the possibility of this being the reality of the modern day is quite acceptable. The major themes of the story is that people can sometimes get more of what they bargained for in helping someone, that the reality of the world is very perceptive and individual, and that fiction and impossibility are very much connected to the reality of the world. The novel starts in a very mysterious way that shows how simple things can be shown to be unknown and unfamiliar. When Richard gives an umbrella to the woman she says he has a good heart and this represents one of the major themes of the book (Gaiman 4). This proves that people are very much determined to act out inner urges which are based on their unique character and individuality. As a sort of “thanks” that he is rewarded with, “Door” shows him a world that is much different from what he is used to seeing. The reward that he gets makes him discover that everything is not as simple as it seems at the first glance and that there are many people who are suffering. At this point it is possible to assume that Richard is not happy with what he is seeing but that he was provided a chance to experience all the things that he does for a reason. In the beginning, he is unaware that the adventure will change his whole life and the same can be said about all people in the world. Often, a person going through a rough time does not see the true value of what is taking place. The person is emerged in the problems and hardships and has no time to contemplate and philosophize on the morality of life. This has a connection to the other theme of the novel that relates to the perceptions one has about the world and their own life. It is made apparent from the beginning that Richard has a certain stand point in the world and his views are individual to his own self. From his side of the world, London is a place of prosperity and people’s constant involvement in activities and work. During the course of his adventures he realizes that it is truly impossible to know something or someone until you become a direct and inseparable part of that entity. Even though there are things that can be said and shown to someone, so that they understand the matter of things, they will not really feel and comprehend what is the real emotion and world of the person until they see it through their own eyes. This is exactly what happens when the main character is given a chance to take a look at the world he never knew existed. If someone has told him that such a place exists and very close by, he would never believe. Thus, the moral of the novel makes it central to his understanding of the reality. After a person goes through something like this, things are never the same and a person grows inside. It is a form of philosophy that the author wants to display for others to see. The readers are given a chance to realize for themselves and determine that reality is very perceptive and the things that happen
TechFite is a company in need of security upgrades for its logs and more storage space in response to growing business interests and pressure from regulatory boards. As a potentially viable solution to deploy to the organization’s network, utilizing a cloud log management service may be the right approach. This emerging technology is increasingly being used in different companies’ software, and modern algorithms for storing and managing digital information make it possible to control log data securely (Drake & Turner, 2020). For instance, today, machine learning mechanisms that are gaining popularity in the era of artificial intelligence are moving to the application of cloud resources as the main platforms for storing the necessary information. As Drake and Turner (2020) argue, the smart analytics of such technology involves efficient data sorting, minimizing unexpected system errors, and protecting from cyberattacks. For TechFite, this is the optimal solution given the increasing need to optimize the security of log data. To implement the technology in TechFite, first, an appropriate service should be selected, which offers an opportunity to securely store and retrieve log data. The organization deals with secret information, and choosing the optimal software is a responsible step. Further, the selected algorithm requires running in a test mode in parallel with the current processes. This step is mandatory because, in the case of the incompatibility of individual system elements, there is a risk of data loss, which is unacceptable for TechFite. After the technology proves its effectiveness, the necessary information needs to be transferred to a new cloud storage system, but initially, the necessary data for verification and access to digital content should be received. TechFite needs not only information protection but also constant and quick access to it. Therefore, an opportunity to manage the technology as freely as possible is an integral part of productive work in a competitive environment in this market industry. One of the main ad
People are raised in different cultural setups. They learn different practices or customs for which they define their own values. Thus, their definition of ethical behavior or appropriate behavior, and personal opinions are influenced by their present or previous cultural setups or both. This is clearly illustrated when people debate on social concepts such as abortion, suicide, drug use, domestic violence and child abuse Counselors are expected to be very ethical in rendering their services. However, it is very difficult to define what is right or wrong without inclusion of values. For instance, consider a case of abortion. A client may assume a prochoice approach whereas a counselor assumes a prolife approach. These diametric perspectives can be a source of conflict between a client and counselor especially if a client feels during a counseling session. In such a case, a counselor is coerced to adopt value neutrality. A counselor should be objective in handling his or her clients. Thus, value neutrality should be avoided because it jeopardizes the objectivity of the counselor. Moreover, most known values, depending on the circumstances, are relative and are subjected to change i.e. an acceptable value can become an unethical or despicable behavior when certain circumstances change (Dolgoff, Loewenberg, & Harrington, 2011). For example, a counselor should clearly state that domestic violence is wrong irrespective of the spouse’s cultural background or personality. This can be the only way to end such a vice. Critics of the above approach argue that, a counselor should not express their values. This is because all situations are not equal and any form of opinion is likely to lead to unprecedented negative consequences. In addition, in the process of opinion expression, a counselor might be biased in a problem approach or may be subjected to stereotyping. For instance, a case of child abuse over child discipline, whereby a parent uses a belt to hit or discipline a child, would be handled accurately with a nonjudgmental approach. Otherwise a parent may opt to immediately cease disclosing any other useful information to the counselor based on the counselor’s opinions. A counselor needs to know when to be objective and when to subjective. He or she has to be attentive enough to the client’s perspective and ask questions if necessary. Based on the presented facts, the counselor would decide which method is best to handle a client (Kuhse & Singer, 2006). Counselors will refer clients to other counselors whenever they feel inadequate to help a client or when they have offered assistance to the client but the client shows no improvement. For example, cases of drug and substance abuse, a psychologist may refer a patient to a psychiatrist. There ar
In most organizations talents are highly appreciated because they are what drive such organizations to be ahead of the game. Everyone is an expert in something but some people can not identify their talents. Competition in business world is very stiff and this has led to the increase in demand for talent. In an organization setting, there are people who are blessed with unique abilities such as marketing or leadership skills. The talented individuals are ordinary employees who work under close supervision of their managers. This paper reviews some of the things that organizations have to do to source and retain their talented employees. A talent is a unique skill that is in-born such that the individual who possesses it does not require training because the skills are natural. When a talented employee realizes that his/her talent is being wasted he/she looks for an organization that is most likely to utilize that talent. Talents are supposed to be discovered by managers because they are the ones that are with the employees more than any one else (Davis, 2007). There are managers who discourage talented employees to utilize their talents because they see them as a threat to their position or are just jealous about their abilities. Such managers sabotage the chances of their talented juniors from being brought into the limelight. The demand for talent has forced some organizations to seek for talent in learning institutions such as universities and colleges. This is because talented individuals that were brought on board a few decades are retiring at a faster rate than the rate at which new talents are discovered. Talented individuals require motivation and guidance on how their skills can be beneficial to both themselves and the o
Western civilization came as a result of a certain influence and it is therefore important to mention that it did not occur by accident. Historically, Western civilization began in Ancient Greek and Roman Empires in the 13 th century. The influence of the Greek and Roman leaders of the time played a very significant role in ensuring that the way of life in Europe and America was in line with the changing times. Western civilization has got a lot of components ranging from technology, political systems, art, culture, tradition and heritage. Greece is a European country endowed with a rich history especially when it comes to Western civilization (Burn, 1948). The country is the hub of civilization with its historic leaders playing a significant role in spreading the civilization message. Alexander the Great is a famous Greek leader who is widely recognized in history for the role he played in promoting Western civilization. This paper will highlight the role played by Alexander the Great in shaping and spreading Western civilization. Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC to a Greek royal family and was destined for big things right from birth. His extraordinary nature led to him being compared to a Greek god known as Zeus. Alexander’s strong personality and intelligence made him become a very influential leader from the time he took to the throne at a tender age of twenty (Burn, 1948). The Greek people had a lot of trust and confidence in Alexander because they were sure of his ability to deliver where his late father had failed. Alexander the Great was an advocate of cultural diversity and played a vital role in ensuring that the Western culture and civilization completely dominated the entire world (Greer, 1977). The great accomplishments achieved by Alexander the great during his time would later affect future societies across the world. Alexander ensured that Greek artifacts and sciences spread across the world. The Roman Empire was the first to adopt ancient Greek architecture, philosophies, art and democracy (Greer, 1977). This revolution happened as a result of Alexander the Great’s influence. The Greek culture would later become dominant in the rest of Europe and America due to Alexander’s influence. It was Alexander’s ability to influence ideologies that made Romans to refer to him as “Great”. The Romans embraced Alexander’s philosophies and the general Greek culture as a way of demonstrating their love and respect for him. Alexander was seen as a role model by many Romans because he was the one that spread the Greek culture to the East and West. Alexander the Great used the Roman Empire to sprea
Literature has numerous genres that appeal to every person differently. Every genre is presented in a style that is unique to itself. Despite the disparity in fashion, they can all be used for learning. A short story is a narrative that is written with an intent for a specific audience. Poetry, however, has a unique style that usually requires interpretation; in drama, the characters play a different role to make the piece develop a meaning. Nevertheless, people prefer short stories because they are easy to understand and also have an appealing format. Short stories can be understood without difficulty by many, which makes people prefer them over other genres. They are written in a simple language, and they are usually direct to the point. Additionally, stories have a single direction and use humor to engage the audience. This usually ensures that people are alert at all times. They are also well-written, and this provides the readers with the ingredients of a story and authentic characters. As a result, the audience develops a satisfaction with a narration that takes the readers to the fantasy world, making the story easy to remember, making literature lovers prefer short stories over other genres. The format of short stories also makes many people prefer it. They flow easily, and the audience can grasp the points of the narrator. Unlike poems that usually require interpretation to understand the context, short stories take a narration point where the speaker uses the introduction to hint at what is to be addressed. Additionally, short stories use a format that leaves the audience in suspense, making the listeners more eager about what the speaker will talk about. Therefore, the poem’s structure makes many people prefer short stories over other genres of literature. In conclusion, short stories are easy to understand, and their format makes
The Internet of Things In the future, things are expected to become active participants in business, information, and social processes, where they can interact and communicate with each other, sharing information about the environment, reacting, and influencing the processes taking place in the world without human intervention. The Internet of Things (IoT) is inherently a continuous flow of data in space, passing through various networks. The purpose of this work is to prepare the summary of the article devoted to discussing the phenomenon of the IoT. The article by Kenneth Li-Minn and Kah Phooi Seng The multi-page work by Kenneth Li-Minn and Kah Phooi Seng includes three sections that are differently suited to the question of determining the IoT. Authors introduce the reader to reasonably everyday examples that allow a closer understanding of the concept of the objects described (2). In order not to get lost in the variety of different forms, Kenneth Li-Minn and Kah Phooi Seng divide all known mixture of IoT into eight categories. Kenneth Li-Minn and Kah Phooi’s draw show other categories, which include medical, scientific, agricultural, and environmental examples (1). The main idea of this section is to demonstrate that the needs of society dictate the creation of electronic devices. Data storage and security issues Since IoT is based on methods that meet user needs, much attention must be paid to data storage and security issues. The authors are convinced that this issue should be taken into account when creating a complex system architecture. The models of organization offered by researchers are multilayered, where each level is designed for a specific task (6). Not least in the functionality of such things is the recognition of biometric indicators. Of course, creating sensors for such a mission is both labor- and resource-intensive, which is why authors argue that building IoT should be based on the integration of energy efficiency, multifunctionality, and compactness. Areas for the evolution of IoT The last section is devoted to forecasting the future of such devices. The researchers identify four areas that are likely to be the route for the evolution of IoT, and the first is the ecosystem integration between devices. Second, future work will focus on improving energy efficiency and performance. Third, given the trends in machine learning today, future devices will operate on the principles of neural networks and artificial intelligence, anticipating user demands. Finally, more data will be collected, and the more complex the protection protocol must be. Researchers are convincing their readers that the IoT of the future should be inaccessible to hacker attacks regardless of the application.

A human being is created amazingly, their nature is biosocial. It means that a colossal number of factors affect their life activity, well-being, and lifespan development. Physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors are fundamental and determine life quality and its duration. Such important problems as health and well-being, parenting, education, socio-cultural context, and social policy are the cause for concern and reflection and are closely related to the development of the life cycle of individuals and communities. These areas represent significance in the context of the lifespan development of an individual and affect its formation. Health and wellness are not possible without each other. Health influences well-being, but subjective well-being also affects health and life expectancy. These aspects are extremely important at any stage since they govern the quality of life, and, therefore, development. The upbringing of children is relevant at a certain period of a person’s formation, at the initial stage of the personality’s molding, and also at the stage of parenting when the transfer of experience takes place. Such an aspect as education should always be relevant, but often the activity of this area comes in the first half of life, and in the second half a person usually uses “the accumulated knowledge”. (Pullen, 2017, p. 32) The sociocultural context affects the spiritual formation of the individual and the understanding of their own identity, within the lifespan development, this period is quite significant. Considering that a person is a social being, the formation, and development of their personality are influenced by a variety of factors described above, adding value in their own way. In a global sense, the problem of introducing social policy is more important since it is designed for the masses. On the local level, it is a system of activities aimed at improving the quality and standard of living of social groups. Implementing concrete life support measures can influence the development of the lives of individuals and give people the opportunity to change their lives for the better.

Current Employment Statistics (CES) Highlights for February 2021 prepared by the Analysts of the National Estimates Branch Current Employment Statistics Survey U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was released on March 5, 2021. Its main goal is to describe the general situation concerning the country’s employment, provide insight into its rates in particular spheres, and indirectly compare it with previous reports. In general, CES indicates the rise of nonfarm payroll employment. In comparison with the previous month, it is possible to define considerable job growth in such spheres as hospitality and leisure, retail trade, professional and business services, social assistance, and health care (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). The rise of employment in the sphere of leisure and hospitality was predominantly concentrated in drinking places, food services, gambling, amusements, and recreation. In turn, the level of employment in warehousing and transportation has changed insignificantly, and employment in utilities did not change at all. At the same time, the level of employment in February 2021 is impossible to compare with the level of the same month in 2020 which had been several million higher in every segment (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). The same situation may be observed in all spheres that experienced job growth in CES. At the same time, employment in such spheres as logging and mining, construction, and the government fell in February 2021 in comparison with the previous month. The most substantial decline may be observed in civil and heavy engineering construction, nonresidential specialty trade, local government education, and state government education (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). In comparison with February 2020, job loss may be regarded as highly dynamic. Reference Bureau of Labor Statistics. Current Employment Statistics Highlights: February 2021 [PDF document]. Web.
