...before herself at times. Also she will be as keen as a cat and be very trustworthy in anything we talk about. A perfect spouse should posses trust, intelligence, and kindness. One value that a spouse should posses is trust. Trust can be defined as being reliable and believing in someone else. Trust is very important to me so my spouse would definitely be trustworthy. With trust I would not need to worry about my spouse cheating on me. Trust is not something that is often given out, is takes a lot of time and patience to be earned. I will know that my wife is very reliable and trustworthy before we get serious. For these reasons trust is an important value in a spouse to me. However, trust is a great value but intelligence is also an important value. Intelligence can be described as being able to think and act on your own to solve a problem or issue. For some intelligence is not a must in a spouse, but for me it makes a huge difference. If my spouse isn’t very bright then I would feel like I’m babysitting her most of the time when she asks me questions. She will have graduated from college with a bachelors and have a bright future. We will discuss everything and if anything seems unclear we can review it and work on it together. For the reasons above intelligence is important in my spouse. Last but not least, you can never forget about kindness. Being kind can be described as helping others without them asking you to. Kindness ties all of the traits together by trusting my spouse...

...“Why society needs accountants” – Trust, the key of our economy Nowadays we live in a society which is more complex than ever. The improved information systems of the last decades made the world more integrated, intertwined and interdependent than before. Due to the high speed of information sharing, the perspective of the world can literally change in a day. Perhaps most illustrative for this is the financial capital market. Millions of profits are being made by traders, taking advantage of a split second of arbitrage. Bad news from China can affect the stock markets in the world for weeks. Misunderstood US mortgages could initiate of a global economic crisis of which is affecting our society still nowadays. But the question is: why are accountants needed in this complex society? What is the role of an accountant in our society ? First I will discuss the role of accounting in the current accounting and subsequently I will elaborate why an accountant is hardly needed in the future. Because our society nowadays is so fast and interdependent, ‘trustworthiness’ is a vital assets mar-ket participants require to function. For instance, when you buy your study book online, you pay an amount up front and you trust the bookstore to deliver the book in time. You probably pay with your bank account. A place where you, trust a large proportion of your wealth to. The bookstore accepts your electronic payment, relying on the fact that they can use it to make other payments or convert...

...oyee perförtjjance o your employees trust you? The brutal truth is: probably not. It may not be fair, and you may not want to hear it, but chances are that previous leaders or managers have poisoned the ground on which you're trying to build a successful organization. Make no mistake: unless you and all the leaders in your organization can gain the trust of employees, performance will suffer. And considering how tough it is to survive in today's economic environment, that's bad news for an organization. Why is trust so pivotal? Because it's a matter of human nature. When employees don't trust their leaders, they don't feel safe. And when they don't feel safe, they don't take risks. And where there is no risk taken, there is less innovation, less "going the extra mile," and, therefore, very little unexpected upside. Feeling safe is a primal human need. When that need isn't met, our natural response is to focus energy toward a showdown with the perceived threat. Our attention on whatever scares us increases until we either fight or run in the other direction, or until the threat diminishes on its own. Without trust, people respond with distraction, fear, and, at the extreme, paralysis. And that response is hidden inside organizational behaviors—sandbagging quotas, hedging on stretch goals, and avoiding accountability or commitment. Trustworthiness is the most noble and powerful of all the attributes of leadership. Leaders become trustworthy by building a track record of honesty...

...to getting, and keeping, a job. Leondro Valente defines professionalism as, “the conduct, aims or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or professional person; it implies quality of workmanship or service” (Valente, 2014). To successfully obtain professionalism in the workforce, a person should be trustworthy, competent, and respectful. These characteristics lend themselves to the production of clear, coherent, and valuable work production, and positive work relationships with others. Exhibiting trustworthy behavior can be shown using professional references from past jobs, internships, and other professional opportunities. Trustworthiness is also earned while working on the job because, “you influence more by your actions than your words” (Russell, 2012). Key influences to demonstrating and achieving trustworthiness are being self-aware, being the first to give trust, and being the best version of yourself at work and for the benefit of others. Additionally, being trustworthy also means being accountable when mistakes occur. A person that is accountable for their actions, and the actions of those working under them, demonstrates responsible, trustworthy behavior (Valente, 2014). Another crucial way to demonstrate professionalism in the workplace is by producing quality work and demonstrating professional behavior. “Be competent and improve continually; competence is the...

...are stranded on an Island and try to survive. In order to survive you need to have someone to lead the group. In the book they had a hard time deciding who should be elected as leader. Ralph was elected but Jack thought he should’ve been. Ralph and Jack were two different people and lead differently than the other. So I questioned myself, what makes a leader effective? What makes a leader effective in his/her group? Well an effective is hard to come by, but to me an effective leader must have these three important characteristics. They must be Courageous, if a leader isn’t brave enough to do the tasks that he asks others to do why does he deserve to tell you to do that task. Another thing a leader must be is respectful, I don't know about you but if someone doesn't respect you why do they deserve respect from you? If a leader doesn't respect their group members then why should they be respected as a leader? Last thing is trustworthy. If a group doesn't trust their leader then they shouldn't be leading, because if you don't trust somebody why would you do what they asked. When Ralph respected the group and showed them he could be trusted Simon trusted him and respected his wishes. So when Ralph started building a shelter and asked Simon to help he did....

...The Therapeutic Alliance An essential characteristic I believe will be an area of strength for me is trustworthiness. Being trustworthy is fundamental in any relationship whether personal or professional. It is often said if you do not have trust you don't have anything. I believe in this statement and feel it is pivotal for a client and counselor to work on building trust in their counseling relationship. Once trust is established in the client counselor relationship it will provide a safe environment for the client to share with the counselor. Trust helps the client grow in a positive way. It is important for a client recognize they can trust someone with the most intimate details of their life without the fear of being judged. When your client feels you are trustworthy they are telling you that you are worthy of their confidence. One essential characteristic I believe will be a challenge for me is being congruent. I find that sometimes I am not completely present when talking with my six year old daughter about her day. I am busy thinking about dinner, doing her homework and various other things. I feel I need to be more consistent and involved when in a conversation with my daughter. I need to be present and be an attentive listener instead of a bystander. I will work on increasing this characteristic into strength by doing some self-searching and examining what is going on with me prior to going into working with a client. I want my client to know I am listening to...

...Webb Motivation and Empowerment Motivation and empowerment are very important aspects of leadership in any organization. Halting someone with ambition serves no purpose; however, many in leadership roles who do not understand the front line theories involved serve to offer nothing but confusion and discourse among their men. According to “More, Vito, and Walsh” (2012), “Motivation is a predictor of overall effort as an individuals ability, and an organizations support will determine the level of an officers job performance (p. 181). Knowing this concept wins, in this paper we will compare motivation and empowerment, discuss components of empowerment, and implications of empowerment to an organization, as well as the roles of trust with personnel issues. Comparing Motivation and Empowerment Motivation and empowerment go hand and hand, let’s start by defining what is Motivation? The process, by which a person’s efforts are energized, directed and sustained toward attaining a goal. Someone who is motivated will forth effort and work hard to accomplish their goal, and they will channel their energy in doing what is best the company, and one will stay the course and be diligent and persistent in achieving the goal.

The instructor should then be able to see the entire process you took to create your final draft. Loyalty is known as a state of being faithful, devoted, honest, supportive, trustworthy, and obedient to a person , but can be hard to find and cause betrayal. When I think about loyalty, I think of a person who is there for me unconditionally through ups and downs and trials and tribulations. This person is honest with me even when it hurts and supportive of me even when they disagree with me. Loyalty is being faithful. Faithfulness in a relationship is showing that you are reliable, true to your word, and keep your promises. Being trustworthy is showing that you are dependable, loyal, and reliable. When you are working at a retail store as cashier, they will first evaluate you to make sure you are trustworthy enough to handle the cash that goes in and out of the cash register. You show your loyalty by being honest at all times. Honesty is being sincere, frank, and up front. Sincerity is being humble and genuine. In the light of being loyal, sometimes a person can confuse loyalty with love. Just because a person says they love you doesn’t mean they are loyal to you. There are many people who love each other but are not loyal to the person...

...Trust In Semantic Web Muhammad Arslan Shafiq (081212) Department of Computer Science SZABIST Islamabad, Pakistan _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Abstract—Trust management is important in semantic web in order to achieve the goals of semantic web vision. In this paper two approaches of implementing trust have been discussed. One approach is strong and secure i.e. Policy based systems, the other approach is more of a social approach which takes feedback from the users in order to build and maintain trust. Also discussed in this paper are pros and cons of both the techniques. Keywords-component; semantic web;Trust; Policy Based Systen; Reputation Based Sytems Introduction The idea behind semantic web seems great and offers a lot but why one should trust in semantic web. Who would trust such a system where anyone can say anything. We say that it is going to be a smart web, it will be intelligent and it will know the semantics. It will know what we are looking for. But what happens when a person says that x is yellow and another person says x is not yellow. Would semantic web fall apart? The idea behind SW is its authenticity of information which isn’t available in today’s web. Information comes from different sources which could be wrong or write and for a specific situation. So how are we going to determine which is reliable and whom should we believe? To tackle these...

...The Role of Leadership in Managing Partnerships In the case study, Managing the Partnership: Leading an Innovation Team – the Importance of a Positive, Persuasive, and Collaborative Approach (2010), authors Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble start off with the story of Aetna’s Laurie Brubaker. The case study tells of her leading her team to success in the previously unexplored market of individual health insurance plans. The interesting thing about Laurie’s team is that they are comprised of a somewhat of blended family model; utilizing both a squad of direct reports who were dedicated solely to this new project and also calling on the strengths and resources of the Performance Engine. With Brubaker at the helm, these two groups collaborated to form a dream team of sorts leading Aetna to tremendous growth in a previously untapped market. The article uses this and other examples to illustrate the importance of leadership in the merging together of innovation teams (dedicated staff) and the Performance Engine (shared staff.) The article also sheds light on some challenges specific to this type of partnerships. Effective leaders like Brubaker are able to use their wits and their tools to navigate these challenges and lead their teams to the promise land of successful innovation and gain or maintain competitive advantage in their respective fields. Peter Andrews, a consulting faculty member of the IBM Executive Business Institute wrote of what it takes to lead innovation...

...relationship among concepts then move(s) towards concrete empirical evidence", (Arnesen, 2013). Thus in deductivist research there is a well-established role for existing theory since it informs the development of hypotheses, the choice of variables, and the resultant measures which researchers intend to use. Within this paradigm the scientist formulates a particular theoretical framework and then sets about testing it. In an example of this approach, which was relevant to our research, Bres in 2015 study the factors that determine users’ trust in their researchers. Their theoretical framework shows that various antecedents influence ‘user trust’ in the researcher and, in turn, this influences the utilization of market research information. For example "perceived researcher interpersonal characteristics" are antecedents to trust; one of the components of these is the ‘perceived expertise’ of researchers. Their theory hypothesizes a relationship between user trust in the researcher and researcher expertise. The basis for the hypothesis lies in previous work by Crosby Evans and Cowles (1990). Since the researchers have specific measures for expertise they are able to test whether the hypothesized relationship actually exists. Quantitative or ‘logical positivist/quantitative’ methods (Jauhari, 2012)) for data gathering and analysis are commonly associated with such approaches. The value of such an approach is that researchers are able to make use of previous researchers work. However, its...

...Luke 16:1-16:18 How Much Can God Trust You? Luke 16:1-18 INTRODUCTION After spending the past few weeks studying the Parable of the Loving Father (sometimes called the Prodigal Son), we arrive at chapter 16 to find one of the most unusual parables Jesus ever uttered. Some Bible teachers merely skip over it or ignore it. I call it the parable of the Crooked Manager. It’s a story about an employee who “cooked the books” for his employer. He used dishonest methods to give an accounting of his company’s assets. It reads much like a deposition from the Enron! It’s a parable about money, which shouldn’t be surprising because of the 38 parables Jesus told, 19 of them dealt with handling possessions. Baptism is important, but there are 16 times more verses in the New Testament on handling money than are devoted to baptism. The Lord’s Supper is important, but there are 32 times more Biblical statements about Christian financial management than about the Lord’s Supper. Since Jesus had so much to say about it, we’d better pay attention. I hope you know you can trust God–but when it comes to handling God’s money, how much can he trust you? Keep your Bibles open because we will read each section of scripture as we discuss it. First, we will consider: I. THE PARABLE: THE GOOD EXAMPLE OF A CROOK (1-8) Let’s just read the parable beginning in Luke 16:1: Jesus told his disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him...

...in the future. His main claim is that together America can build up the nation, and recover from the problems. As data he does say, that the American Economy is already recovering. By including America like this, he makes the people feel that they are a part of a nation, and this makes him seem more reliable. He does, however, not have a concrete example of the recovering economy, which makes his statement build on trust. He does back his claim up by saying that with the help from the Americans, he will fix their problems: “Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil” (P.3 l.86). The warrant for this is that Obama will reach out, and together with the leaders of both parties they will meet the challenges that can be solved together. Furthermore, the help from the American people will make this happen, and get America going again. Obama does include the Americans a lot. This has an effect. Making individuals feel like they are a part of a bigger nation, which can solve this problem together, can make Obama seem stronger, since it will be a lot easier for him to reach out to the people. Furthermore, he does already have an ethos, which makes him trustworthy. His past four years as a president have made him more reliable and faithful, to some people. The people, who did not vote for Obama at this election, have probably felt that he was not as trustworthy. He does, however, in this...

As we were created in the image of God who is a great teacher, he gives us the capability to heal and teach trust to children and people in the name of Jesus. As being a teacher, I have the exceptional pleasure of touching lives on a profound and personal level. Integrity and dependability are two things that will allow me to assist others through my profession and worshiping our AMAZING GOD!!!!. Integrity Integrity is the excellence of being truthful and obligating strong ethical values. To be ethically standing defines our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I know that my Jesus, “He never sinned, and he never told a lie.” (1 Peter 2:22). I was created in the image of my savior that spoke truth and kept His word. A teacher needs to have integrity and confident to be a supreme teacher. Teachers should desire to keep their promises and avoid foolish or undecided commitments. When I create trust with these children, by keeping my word, and promise others will see that I have been created in the image of God.
