...cultivating..for the purpose of producing.. Much like gardening leadership is the practice of guiding, “cultivating”, and supporting others in the accomplishment of a common goal. Just as a gardener has to study his soil, determine what he will plant, choose the correct plants, and create the appropriate conditions; a leader likewise has to study the environment of their area of responsibility, lay out the specific purpose of it, prepare a conducive place for growth, get the right people in to be able to fulfill the purpose. Successful Gardening requires a skilled gardener is acutely aware and knowledgeable about plant growth-- how fast does it grow, in which soil does grow, how much water and how much sun does it need, what does it grow, what stimulates its growth, what hinders its growth, how does the growth of neighboring plants affect each other,.. Similarly effective leadership involves a leader or clinician that establishes themselves as an expert on what it takes to create a healthy environment to support individuals growth and the growth of an organization. As a clinician, a leader gets to know the ones that they lead and nurture them according to their individual growth patterns. Change is constant throughout the universe, and in every aspect of life we can think of. Gardening also requires innovation in response to changing soil, changing weather, changing climate, etc. By the same token, leadership requires innovation to deal with the complexities of changing situations,...

More states are adopting legalization for medical purposes. Some states have legalized marijuana use for recreation and others want to follow. How are these new laws being written?

...Mission Statement Making a life choice at a later age, such as changing to a new career field, can be wrought with anguish and confusion as well as excitement and anticipation. Knowing that this decision may change the routine, future, and even financial status of the individual and family members, either temporarily or for a lifetime can be daunting. Once that decision is made, and by putting into perspective the reason for selecting the career choice with the use of a mission statement, one can put the ideas in an order that can be understood and provide a direction for that goal. The purpose of a mission statement is to provide one with a purpose, by declaring desired values, in order to meet a need (Radtke, 1998). Addressing these areas not only addresses the purpose, but also can provide inspiration, commitment, innovation and courage to the author (Radtke, 1998).

...appropriate structure. THE KIND OF CHANGE TO MAKE: Most changes can be categorized into one of the 3 kinds: * Technological * Structural * People These 3 kinds of change correspond to the 3 main determinants of the organizational effectiveness – each change is named for the determinant it emphasizes. STRUCTURAL CHANGE: Structural change emphasizes increasing organizational effectiveness by changing controls that influence organization members during the performance of their jobs. Structural change is aimed at increasing the organizational effectiveness through modifications to the existing organizational structure like: * Clarifying and Defining Jobs * Modifying Organizational Structure to fit the communication needs of the organization * Decentralizing the organization to reduce the cost of coordination, increase the controllability of subunits, increase motivation, and gain greater flexibility. Although structural change must take account of people and technology to be successful, its primary focus is obviously on changing organization structure. Managers choose to make structural changes within an organization if information they have gathered indicates that the present structure is the main cause of organizational ineffectiveness.

...in property of the law”. The purpose of this article written by Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis is to consider whether the existing laws properly protect the privacy of an individual. Warren and Brandeis purpose for writing such an article was to argue that the laws have to change with the times. Rather than just protect an individual only for “physical interference with life and property” the laws had to evolve with the changing times. Because an individual life gradually expanded so should the laws that was set out to protect them. The authors argue that individuals have the right to enjoy life and to be left alone. The individual have the right to determine how their thoughts and emotions be communicated and how, their thoughts and emotions are expressed. The authors concluded that the thoughts, emotions, and sentiments of individuals needed protection. Protection preventing what could be ultimately written and publish, giving the individual the right to enjoy life. The authors assume that individuals shall have full protection in person and in property, and also the right to life served only to protect the person from battery. They realized that these laws needed to be examined with the changing times due the change in the demands of society. The authors reasoning or logic for this article was to examine the individual’s full protection of the law, and their right to privacy or to be left alone.

...person's goals are and sometimes his or her accomplishments (Cochran. 1994). There are many obstacles that some may consider to be problems when changing careers. Individuals may be looking to change careers from result of too much stress or personality conflicts with their current coworkers or management. Career problems occurs when a current course of action signals a qualitative difference between possible career futures (Cochran). If a person believes to feel threatened by what is happening in the work place and feels that something else should be happening to reach goals or get the job done more efficiently can be considered a problem and the need for a career change. The only way to change one's direction in life is to take that first step into a career change. This means furthering one's education to climb the corporate ladder or accepting a new career that offers more pay, more vacation time, and personal satisfaction of making a difference in the workplace. The purpose of a career change is "to move into a position of greater managerial responsibility and organizational status, a transfer to a similar job in a company or industry, or a lateral move into a different work function within a familiar field" (Ibarra. 2002). Career change can lead to greater things in the future. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made when changing careers. Sacrifices include lower pay to start, different days off, longer hours, additional education, and new...

...How To Change Your 2005 Honda Pilot Oil WRTG 393 Christopher Bloss June 10th, 2015 INTRODUCTION Changing your oil is just like changing the cat litter box – dump out the old crap, inspect for any issues, and fill up with new, fresh goods. The only difference is – if you make a mistake during the change process, you can cause permanent damage to your motor. This manual details the process of changing the oil in a 2005 Honda Pilot. This manual was written for the average DIY-er who has a basic understanding of engine maintenance. This manual is broken down into several thorough steps to help explain the process from understanding the purpose of an oil change, the need for changing the oil, and steps for at home oil changes. Motor Oil Purpose: There are 5 main purposes of motor oil: protection, lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and restoration of performance (Arnold, n.d., para 1). According to Arnold (n.d.), “Motor oil creates a slippery coating of lubrication so that the moving parts can move more fluidly. Without the oil's lubrication, the friction in the moving parts of the motor is greatly compromised and the compression is decreased, resulting in the inability to reach optimal levels of speed and performance.” Oil lubrication creates protection for the moving engine parts without this lubrication; the metal engine parts begin to degrade. As oil travels through the engine, the debris is collected and cleans the metal parts within the motor (Arnold, n.d., para...

...lot since it's opening in Seattle in 1985. It went from 17 stores, to over 15.000 stores all around the world in 2010. But they are changing their strategy, and purpose. They started closing down shops, and refocused on the Starbucks experience, which would increase customer's willingness to pay and also increase profitability. They even payed their first dividend 2010. That ment a huge change of purpose. But is growth bad ? It has it's benefits and dangers. Warren Buffet states, that ‘Growth benefits investors only when the business in point can invest at incremental returns that are enticing – in other words, only when each dollar used to finance the growth creates over a dollar of long term market value.’ We can say that it worked for Starbucks in the beginning, when growth also meant growth of the share price, and even though no dividends were paid, the company was still profitable over the years, but with the emerging of new competition (ex. McDonalds coffee shops,…), and the loss of some of the Starbucks Experience, in 2008 the company didn’t see any share price growth, and still hasn’t paid out any dividends. From this, we can see focusing strongly on growth is not always a good idea, and while it can bring the company market share in the beginning and can even prove the be more profitable in the long term, it should not be the only purpose of the company. And when Starbucks reached the point, where growth had no more effect, they changed their short-term strategy, which...

...early religion taught that the universe has existed in cycles and existence is endless, but always changing forms. Some forms have existed longer than others and these forms come together to create another form. They also break apart to end one cycle and start a new another cycle as a different form. This follows their belief of reincarnation. Buddha, in the Acintita Sutta said, “Conjecture about the origin, etc., of the world is an unconjecturable that is not conjectured about, that would bring madness and vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.” ii. Buddhists believe that everything that exists in this universe is sacred or spiritual in nature (Consider, p 57). Because of reincarnation, animals and people die and are reborn in the form of a different creature, determined by their karma. Or this reason, no one can be regarded as superior in existence but rather equal and in relationship with each other. The only way someone can be considered superior, is when you relate it to their closeness to nirvana. iii. The sole purpose/goal of a Buddhist is to be freed from the cycle of reincarnation and reach his purist state, which is called nirvana. For man to reach this state of enlightenment, he needs to rid himself of desires which cause suffering. Some Buddhists purpose is to do as much god as possible so that when they are reborn, they have a better life. The purpose of existence can also be determined by the branch of Buddhism. For example, a Theravada Buddhist’s...
