...PROGRAM (QSP) Effective April 1, 2012 the Army activated the enlisted Qualitative Service Program (QSP) to identify NCOs for involuntary early separation from active duty. The QSP consists of a series of centralized enlisted selection board processes designed to support the Army Leader Development Strategy (ALDS) and to retain the highest quality NCOs who display the greatest potential for continued service while satisfying mandated force structure requirements. An active duty Noncommissioned Officer (NCO), upon attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant (SSG), serves in a voluntary indefinite status once they reenlist with over 10 years of active federal service (AFS). These NCOs continue to serve on active duty consistent with a retention control point (RCP) for the rank they hold. Depending on their rank, the maximum period of service may extend up to 35 years. Combined with promotion timing, RCPs establish specific leader development gateways used to develop a professional NCO Corps. When faced with rapid structure reductions, especially at the senior NCO grades, the Army cannot achieve balance by natural attrition alone. A force shaping process to accelerate losses becomes necessary in order to preserve viable career paths across all military occupational specialties (MOSs) in an effort to sustain an All Volunteer Army. Because the Army cannot achieve future end strength requirements through natural loss of personnel, the Army developed and implemented an additional centralized...

...PRACTICE & PROBLEMS OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT OF BANGLADESH ARMY INTRODUCTION 1. Human beings are the most important resources in an organization. A firm’s / organization’s success depends on the capabilities of its members. Most problems, challenges, opportunities and frustrations in an organization are people related. Human Resource Management is one of the toughest duties of a manager or leader since humans differ in terms of attitudes, values, aspirations, motivations, assumptions, psychology, and life goals. Looking at today’s competitive world, managerial level staff will require more conceptual and strategic skills. Managers have to be proactive, able to anticipate technological developments and prepare their staff for whatever technological changes that might take place. This will be a successful task only when the HRM itself is fully aware of those changes and has the means to deal with them. HR managers have a number of roles to fulfill. They are the guardians of the manpower- the key assets of the organizations. They are also counselor and protector of employees and directly responsible for their effectiveness in the organization. They need to do their jobs in keeping with the existing laws, rules and regulations of the organization, and promote harmony at the workplace. This has direct bearing in a healthier and more attractive work environment. The success or failure of HR depends also on the top management’s recognition of the importance of HRM, and...

...research and function of understanding how people, individuals, and groups perform in an organization. The point is to apply knowledge toward enhancing efficiency in an organization. OB can create a healthier working relationship by including organizational culture, organizational behavior, diversity, and communication into the organization. Organizational Culture “Organizational culture is a shared set of beliefs and values within an organization” (Schermerhorn, Hunt & Osborn, 2008, Organizational Cultures, p. 11). Culture consists of the beliefs, standards, rules, and physical signs of organization associates and their behaviors. An organization culture can be determined by the display of equipment and what employees wear. Corporate cultures are coming to grasp that the greatest plans need organizational change to include structures and processes. According to McNamara (2000), organizational change efforts are rumored to fail the majority of the time. Usually this failure is credited to a lack of understanding about the strong role of culture and the role it plays in organizations. This is one reason that tactical planners stress on the important of recognizing values, mission, and vision. Strong culture exists because of the configuration to the organizational values. Weak culture occurs when there is little configuration with organizational values and control. Studies have shown strong cultures have clear values that give employees a reason to accept the culture...

...After reading Chapter One, it's important to examine your life story and leadership opportunities to this point, with an emphasis on the influences of your early years and instances of your leadership. Discover Your Leadership in Your Life Story 1. During your early years, which people had the greatest impact on you? A: Growing up, I was mesmerized by my father superior (I am an arm force brat). I was very fascinated by all the honors and respect an army officer got. What I didn’t realized was that my dad was the subject of admiration to other kids in in camp ( I life in military camps through out my childhood) and deep inside I developed the desire at least become the man that my dad was . 2. Starting with your earliest memories, which experiences marked key turning points in your life? A: When I was about 11 to 12 years old, I came to the realization that a career as fulltime commissioned officer will not be possible due to an accident that let me with limited physical abilities. I then turned my ambition into becoming a scientist that would still be able to serve in the arm force but rather to being in the fighting front, will be in the lab doing research to help the advancement of military research. (This was being a little ambitious given that I am from Cameroon a third world country with no much financial capabilities to really invest in cutting edge technology. But I was a kid and I had dreams). 3. In which experiences did you find the greatest inspiration...

Striking a proper balance the balance between life and work requires proper time management skills. Time could be consider a valuable asset (in a monetary sense) for an organizations or a corporation and a priceless one in our personal life. Pareto Analysis Some people equate being busy to being productive, but in most cases 20% of your time will produce on average 80% of your desired results. If this is the case, we need to identify which 20% of your task are the most important, prioritize them and focus on completing those first.

...March 9, 2010 Robert E. Lee on Leadership Effective leadership involves creating direction in achieving the vision, aligning people through communication, and motivating and inspiring subordinates toward a shared vision. Direction helps in creating strategies that work toward a vision, or desirable future state. Alignment of people is achieved through communication of new directions and building a commitment to subordinating self interests in order to further the interests of the organization. The ability to motivate and inspire is what makes an exceptional leader. In H.W. Crocker’s, Robert E. Lee on Leadership, it is evident through General Robert E. Lee’s many leadership roles that he possessed the ability to motivate and inspire. Lee led as a businessman, as a warrior, and as an administrator. His actions in many circumstances throughout his life, exemplify some of the mainstream leadership theories of today. His style of leadership had a uniquely effective quality that is rarely observed. The lessons learned and qualities of leadership recognized from Lee’s experiences are beneficial for leaders of any organization today. Lee as a Businessman In the years before the War Between the States, Lee inherited the responsibility of running Arlington plantation, which was willed to his wife by her father. With the plantation, Lee inherited his father-in-law’s debts. Lee’s challenge was to run the plantation successfully enough to pay-off these debts and finance...

...teaching/learning materials, and experiences instructors deliver to the learners to assist in their learning progress of course goals. Assessment includes procedures and strategies teachers use to collect information about the learners progress on course goals and objectives. Assessments can take on many forms and serve many purposes. Two types of assessments that are used as fundamental parts of teaching and instruction are formative and summative. Formative assessments are used to monitor learner’s achievement. Then the information collected can be used by the instructor to develop and modify their learning goals and objectives in attempts to improve the overall learning experience of the learners. Formative assessments are commonly have low point value. Examples of formative assessments include summaries, reflections graphic organizers, and collaborative activities. Summative assessments demonstrate the amount of success the learner can exhibit as a result of meeting the goals of the assessment. They are generally given at the end of the course to assess what the learner comprehended against the long term learning goals. Examples of Summative assessment often include standardized test, end-of unit or chapter test, and mid and semester exams. In the late 1980’s the United States higher education assessment movement was only a few years old. The movement was inspired by curriculum reform, along with certain pedagogies associated with high learning gains. In the last 20 years we...
