Introduction The research paper is a critical examination of the various attributes that make someone a better business leader in this business world full of fierce competition and unpredicted changes. It is no doubt that there are thousands of individuals who seek employment opportunities in various fields. On the other hand, employers are looking for individuals who are competent enough and ready to learn new things in order to stay longer in their organization since higher employee turnover is expensive for organization (Conley, 2001). For one to be able to be competent in a given organization, he or she needs to be fully aware of his/her different learning methods, ability to fully utilize their personal effectiveness skills among others. Additionally, it is apparent that the only constant in the business world is change, and for this reason, for employees to be sure of coping with such changes, there is need for them to acquire certain skills that will help them be competent in doing business (Townend, 2007). This will definitely work well in ensuring that one turns out to being a better business leader. Relationship between leadership and management There is a closer linked between leadership and management that is has even proved to be a challenge to some individuals to differentiate the two concepts. However, for persons who are keen the two concepts can be easily seen from an angle of successful as well as unsuccessful organizations. Leadership has been defined as a process whereby an individual can influence thoughts, ideas and actions of others in achieving a set of preset goals, tasks, duties and responsibilities (Stogdill, 1948). To have successful and highly motivated human product, how their thoughts are influenced is of significance
Medical professionals should engage in advocacy in an attempt to address most of the risks and challenges affecting their patients. Falls are capable of resulting in injuries and extending patients’ hospitalization period. It affects both young and older people in different regions. The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe the economic, legal, and political factors that may contribute to the implementation of evidence-based or sustainable practice changes. Economic Factors The occurrence of falls can affect the quality of medical services available to different patients. The implementation of a practice change will present superior clinical guidelines that have the potential to minimize such sentinel events. From an economic perspective, any increase in a country’s gross domestic product (GDP) will present additional resources for transforming or improving care delivery and introducing superior fall prevention mechanisms (Wilson et al., 2016). The additional costs associated with such sentinel events will disorient the quality and effectiveness of the healthcare industry. The recorded expenses can, therefore, inform new ideas or strategies for minimizing falls in different medical facilities. The end result is that increased
Introduction A bicycle is a convenient, environmentally friendly, and healthy transport. More and more European and American cities are building bike paths and purchasing municipal bicycles to introduce shared bicycles. The most outstanding example is Amsterdam, where movement around the city center takes place exclusively by bicycle. As a result, locals save on public transport and benefit from quick relocation opportunities. This paper aims to discuss the relevance of implementing the shared bicycles project on the college grounds. Brief Service Description The college occupies a relatively large area, and students have to cover considerable distances on foot to get from one classroom to another. Therefore, the launch of the shared bicycles project will be in high demand among students, as it will help them save time during breaks between classes and keep a good shape. Moreover, cycling is fun and can help clear the mind after a dose of challenging academic information. Concept Statement The concept will be implemented by installing bicycle parking at each educational building and purchasing enough bicycles for shared use by college students. To prevent bikes from being stolen, several cameras will need to be installed around the college grounds’ perimeter and periodically checked the number of bicycles. They can also be painted using college symbols, which will psychologically become an obstacle to theft. A deposit or payment system could also be introduced – for example, 1 or 2 pounds to guarantee that the bike will be parked in the proper place. Target Market and Service Positioning The primary consumers of the service will be college students, teachers, and visitors to the campus. Since the service is aimed at the well-being of the entire community, high payment for the service should not be involved. However, since the purchase will be made at the college’s expense – that is, at the cost of all students, and only those who wish will use the service, payment systems can be installed on bicycles. Through it, customers will pay for trips with a smartphone using a QR code. The service price can be symbolic – for example, 10 or 25 cents; however, since bicycles will be used by many people every day, the costs of purchasing bikes and installing parking blocks will be reimbursed during the first semester. Before implementing the shared bicycles project, it will be necessary to conduct an anonymous vote among students. In it, they will express their desire or unwillingness to use the service. Students will also submit their proposals on the project website – such a website will be easy to make using WordPress. Marketing Objectives Marketing objectives are an essential part of strategic
Otitis Media (OM) is an infection of the middle ear. However, this inflammation is not common to adults but rather common among young children. The inflammation is always accompanied by a viral upper respiratory infection (URI) and normally occurs in children who are between the ages of four to seven. One of the reasons why this disease is mainly found in children includes; anatomic differences of skull base and Eustachian tube as well as biological susceptibility. The information by Block, S. L. (1997) on Causative pathogens, antibiotic resistance and therapeutic considerations in acute otitis media can be categorized as a filtered source as it provides information that has been scrutinized and approved for publication. The article generally builds from existing information to give further direction on how otitis media can be tackled. Block notes that this disease has become very common among very many young children in the United States of America and thus needs more attention. He therefore suggests the way to go. On the other hand the information provided by Kelley, Friedman & Johnson, (2007) on ear, nose, and throat can be classified as an unfiltered resource. This is because the information they provide in their discussion is very recent in the medical field and therefore the medical practitioners cannot rely on it wholly. This is informed by the fact that some of the issues that they raise are new to some of the medical practitioners. In order to solve this problem, practical tests should be done in order to prove its credibility. After, the tests have been done then the information provided can either be accepted or rejected depending on the results obtained. In regards to works by American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Family Physicians (2004), however, this has turned out to be a filtered resource. This is informed by the fact that, their article tends to appraise the quality of studies besides making recommendations for this practice to be carried on with. This article accepts that Otitis Media is fast becoming a common disease among young kids. In its recommendation, it states that thorough research should be carried out to ensure that a permanent solution to this problem is found so that cases of children going deaf especially in the third world countries is reduced. If the recommendations are adopted by the relevant authorities, it claims that in the long run this disease is going to be eliminated in the world. Just lik
Charges and Penalties On May 20 th , 2016, in Happy Town, GA, sixty pairs of socks were stolen from a local Socks for Feet outlet, and a seventy-six-year-old security guard was shoved to the ground. Multiple witnesses identified the three suspects as Bubba Beauregard Hurt, Skeeter Redrum, and Summer Breeze. The local police force later apprehended the suspects along with the loot. The total value of the stolen merchandise is $672.00, which is a considerable sum. It is unknown whether Bo Foot, the security guard, sustained any significant injuries during the incident. The four witnesses that gave statements are Clifford Tonell, the owner of the store, Bo Foot, the security guard, Andrea Sianturi, the store employee, and Susan Bunion, a criminal justice instructor who was making purchases at the time of the incident. The case appears to be an open and shut shoplifting incident, but some details confound me. Susan Bunion wrote in her statement that Redrum put some socks in Breeze’s purse, while Bo Foot asserted that he gave them to her, and she put them in her purse. Bunion and Tonell both mentioned some unknown person yelling, which caused the thieves to flee, while the other two witnesses and officer Winchester neglected to mention this seemingly important detail. It is also suspicious that witness Tonell, witness Sianuri, and witness Bunion all knew some of the suspects. Witness Sianuri knew Hurt, but not the other two, and witness Bunion knew Redrum and Breeze, but not Bubba Hurt. The fact that Tonell knew all three is explainable by them having priors and him being a responsible business owner, but should still be noted. Witnesses Bunion, Foot, and Tonell stated that the suspects took “some” socks, yet Sianturi knew the exact number. The police arrived at the store at 18:00, and the witness statements were taken at 19:00. I find it hard to believe that the case was closed, and all the paperwork was done in an hour. I do not know how witness Sianuri knew the exact number of socks Hurt took before the police were able to find them in the suspect’s car. Additionally, Bubba Hurt’s record seems to be forged, as his stated date of birth is 1990, while his fingerprints, palms, and employment indicate that he was already an adolescent in 1985. There may be more to this case than meets the eye. I would recommend that before any conviction is made, a thorough investigation be performed. Regardless of any extraneous circumstances, I assert that all suspects are guilty at least of one count of theft by shoplifting as described in the Georgia Code, section 16-8-14, subsection (a), paragraphs (1) and (3).Suspect Bubba Hurt is guilty of theft by shoplifting, where the value of stolen merchandise exceeded $300.00, which, in accordance with section 16-8-4, subsection (b), paragraph (2) is a felony, punishable by one to ten years in prison. The previous shoplifting felony means that he will also be fined $250.00 or more, under section 16-8-4, subsection (b), paragraph (1).
Introduction “On the Shoulders of Carl Rogers: The Contribution of the Therapeutic Relationship to Treatment Outcome” is the chapter from the book by Scott Miller, Barry Duncan, and Mark Hubble Escape from Babel: Toward a Unifying Language for Psychotherapy . This chapter is a small research that helps to comprehend how important therapeutic relationship might to be and how influential this relationship may be to the outcomes of the chosen treatment. Carl Rogers played an important role in the development of psychotherapy; his approaches and his ideas were so fresh and captivating that his name was used in the title of the chapter and his works serve as the main grounds for this chapter. On the Shoulders of Carl Rogers helps to find out the essence of therapy and clear up how the relations between a therapist and a patient may influence the outcomes of such treatment. Discussion General Information about the Book The book, the chapter comes from, is a unique collection of the ideas of several writers concerning the problem of proper treatment to clients and their satisfaction with the services. The point is that innovative technologies or solid theoretical background of the therapists are not that significant for successful work and positive outcome. The carrying attitude and responsibility is the key to client’s satisfaction and treatment. The peculiar feature of the book and the chapter under consideration in particular is that the authors want to share their experience, their knowledge, and their ideas of how to improve clients’ treatment. They underline how it turns out to be important to respect a client, to understand his/her problems, and to present several solutions to his/her problem. Who Is Carl Rogers? Carl Rogers was one of the pioneers, who developed the ideas of therapeutic relationship in order to change the nature of practices at clinics (Duncan et al., 81). This influential psychologist offered to pay more attention to a client and his/her problems. His nineteen propositions and idea not to judge a person negatively help many professionals improve their skills and present best treatments to their clients. The point is that therapeutic relations should not be like a doctor and a patient. It is better for a therapist to contact to a client like an ordinary person, who may have the same problems and offer solutions in a kind and friendly way. Carl Rogers proves that many things in therapy depend on therapist’s attitude to his/her duties and to his/her clients. The therapist has to be honest to him/herself and to his/her clients, only honesty and belief may provide the client to open and tell about own problems. The therapist is the person, who should be responsible for therapeutic relations’ work. It is necessary to burn with a desire to help own client and demonstrate respect and some kind of kinship. It is not that important to cry together, to sympathize, and to agree that this life costs nothing. However, at the same time, it is no
Introduction It is not an easy task to be an effective project manager because a number of skills, approaches, and strategies have to be developed and offered. The development of such a sensitive undertaking as the Office 2010 conversion requires the managers’ attention and knowledge in the sphere of project management. It is necessary to consider the interpersonal tools and communication strategies and explain them to the chosen project team. It is also important to apply a number of personal skills and effective methods to work successfully with different employees, who have different grades, experiences, and responsibilities. Each worker is a unique source of knowledge and ideas that should be respected. The development of interpersonal skills is a crucial step because there are so many working decisions that should be made by a project manager using his/her interpersonal skills like leadership, motivation, communication, negotiation, team building, cultural awareness, etc. The current paper aims at discussing such points like the importance of concrete interpersonal skills, the essence of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator testing approach, tone and texture in communication and the development of other interpersonal skills, and the identification of some communication stoppers that can become a challenge for some project managers. Identification (Cache) of Interpersonal Skills Important for Project Managers A good project manager should understand that any kind of work has to be done on the basis of certain requirements: people have to be managed properly, the task should be understood and done well, the tools should be available and clear to a team, and the organizational structure should be defined, and the organizational environment should be properly explained (Kerzner, 2013). This kind of work is complicated indeed, and project managers should develop a number of skills to succeed in their activities. The main skills that can be necessary for a manager of such project as the Office 2010 conversion are as follows:  1. Team-building skills: a manager may need to create a team and divide the functions in regards to the abilities of each member;  2. Leadership skills: a person should know how to guide people and explain the worth of their work;  3. Supportive skills: a manager should know how to motivate the workers, organize negotiations, and resolve conflicts that can take place in a team (internal conflicts) or outside the organization (external conflicts);  4. Cultural and even political awareness: a person has to study the events that take place around in order to understand human behavior, expectations, and reactions to different ideas. All these skills can be gained by a project manager by means of training and learning different theories (Project Management Institute, 2008). Importance of Interpersonal Skills The qualities and abilities discussed above are important for a project manager because they may define the outcom
Introduction As America was going through salutary neglect, just before the onset of European rule, the population was subject to a simple system of rule. In the 18 th century, at around 1763, the British realized that there was a lot of potential in America, both through natural resources and human resources. Since they were going through periods of war in their conquests, they concluded quickly that if they taxed the subjects in America they would gain some form of rule over them. The British imposed cunning laws to restrict their native Indian colonies, to have a close watch on them as put by Lange 1 . Bruce 2 explains that when explorer George Vancouver arrived at the coast of Puget Sound, he suddenly noticed the corps of hundreds of natives with signs of death from disease. Not only did he notice it on the coast he had arrived on but also realized that the case was similar in every other point along the American coast from north to south. It was clear that epidemics had stricken the area due to the natives’ attachment to some foreign influence. It later became clear that the contact between the natives and European explorers contributed heavily to the onset of the epidemics, but unfortunately, they had very low resistance towards these diseases. Even their indigenous medicines had little or no effect on the new wave of disease that had hit their people ( 2 ). Consequently, the amount of destruction that this left was humongous, and some of the major ones can be given in brief. Effect of Disease in Native America Major killer diseases at that time like measles, smallpox, influenza, and scarlet fever wiped out the natives in their thousands by the turn of the 19 th century. As any serious epidemic would do, the birth rate of the natives was heavily reduced, caused by a lack of proper health due to the prevailing diseases especially in the childbearing stage of life. Children too, who usually are sensitive to disease were exposed to such environments and would not survive for long. Secondly, economic productivity went on the decline. With a lack of proper human resources to take care of the up and coming industries, hunger and famine slowly found their way in and eventually causing vast amounts of deaths. Consequently, many of the natives indulged further
Communicating negative messages is an important part of business communication because no operations can take place without failures or disruptions once in a while. According to the useful advice provided by Bovee and Thill (2017) in the chapter “Writing negative messages,” the final objectives of communicating negative information include:  1. Conveying unfortunate news;  2. Gaining the target audience’s acceptance of the news;  3. Maintaining the audience’s goodwill at the highest level possible;  4. Preserving a good image of a company or organization;  5. Reducing or eliminating the need for communicating the same message again. In order to reach the mentioned objectives, the author of a negative message should determine whether the audience’s attention should be captured immediately and whether recipients prefer a direct communication style. After answering these two questions, the author can proceed to write a message. The most important thing is using clear and concise language that conveys respect for readers and avoids accusing tone. Overall, such messages required special care since they aim to avoid disappointments and counterproductivity. An example of an effective negative message within the context of business communication is the customer service e-mail that the Forever 21 support team sent the company’s customers. The message is effective because the language used in it is light and conversational: “our cat ate our website speed.” There is also a humorous tone to the message that the authors used intentionally to get the audience’s acceptance of the news. The large image of a grey cat that says “sorry” gets immediate attention. The same can be said for the words “free shipping” printed in a large black font which attracts attention as well and makes the audience understand that the negative message comes with a bonus (Figure 1). It should also be mentioned that the personality of the message’s writers shines through and signals that the news is unfortunate but should not be treated very seriously because the company took time to apologize in a tasteful way. Figure 1. Excellent customer service (“Forever 21 customer service message,” n.d.). Another effective part of the negative message above is that it is short and is composed of only four lines. When reading the message, the audience does not feel overwhelmed and disengaged. The bright colors and the funny image of a cat contribute to the overall presentation of the negative message. If, for example, the image had been replaced by a generic written note and sent to Forever 21 customers, it would not have had the same impact as the example above (Figure 1). Overall, the customer support message apologizing for the low speed of the Forever 21 website is a brilliant example of the neg
