...welcoming and pleasant. Ever since I was little my mother always said, “Everything happens for a reason,” it was until my mother passed that I understood what she meant. I came to realize life is short. Without any warnings, my life changed. When my beloved son had arrived, I was ecstatic. My family gathered and my sisters asked, “Now that your son is born. What are your plans?” As a result, I read many reference books about how to accomplish goals to ease some thoughts and questioned myself “what am I going to show and tell my son about what I have accomplished in life?” Therefore, I decided to attain a degree in business and accounting. This would help me acquire a good paying job as a public accountant. Making a commitment at this stage of my life, I am afraid that I am incapable to keep up with the extra work and eventually fail. My husband and I discussed the option of not going back to school. However, he has inspired me to become a better person and displayed how easy it is to succeed. His expertise in the career world made me realize how simple it is to take part in the professional society. In this lifetime, it would be easy to commit and accomplish the goals I have set. Enrolling into University of Phoenix as an adult, I lack the self-confidence I once had. In high school, I fell short in English but was exceptional in Mathematics. In my academic...

...regardless of the situation. * Integrity is considered a contract with yourself. If you make a decision to support an idea or belief, that contract with yourself, integrity, will keep you on a constant and steady path to support and defend your ideal. As described by Damian Cox :“A related approach to integrity is to think of it primarily in terms of a person's holding steadfastly true to their commitments”. This commitment will present your integrity on the subject and will earn you the respect of everyone even those who oppose your views. A commitment of integrity to yourself could be the most important commitment you can make in your life. For example a commitment to quit smoking, start exercising or finish college would build your character not only towards others but most importantly towards yourself. * In today’s world there are many ways integrity can be attacked. With the development of social media, every person’s integrity is subject to scrutiny and challenge. In the same manner one can use social media outlets to demonstrate your integrity by presenting the commitment you have made to yourself in a particular subject matter. Danielle Smith states: "This explosion of social media requires us to examine our own use of these sites to ensure we are acting ethically and with integrity." The common error in using these social media sites is that there is a tendency...

...Wegmans Wegmans is able to sustain its culture by the manner in which they treating their employees like parts of their family. According to the description in our text, Wegmans is an example of a clan culture that emphasizes tradition, loyalty, personal commitment, extensive socialization, teamwork, self-management and social influence as its attributes. They differentiate and establish their company’s culture to new employees from the beginning in the interview process. By hiring persons interested in gourmet food, they get people who want to sell gourmet food. Another aspect of their culture is the teamwork demonstrated when opening a new location as in the Dulles store opening. Their culture is taught by existing managers and employees as shown in how the other locations help to train and onboard the new employees and work with the store until it is running smoothly. The 6% turnover rate of Wegmans employees, which is well below the industry norm, shows how the company’s benefits, higher pay rates, scholarships help to foster long-term employee loyalty and commitment. Simply put, this family-owned business treats their employees like the valuable assets to the business that they are. A possible threat to Wegmans culture could be duplication by a competitor that figures out how to get the same results and success with less money spent. It is said that the best compliment is for another to want to be like you. I also see that...

...Professor Kabaji English 100 28 January 2014 Commitment Throughout life, commitment is essential. For life to progress in a certain proclivity, we must commit. Whether it’s a relationship, family or work, there’s always a commitment. Every human being wants to be happy, but happiness requires some sort of commitment. Whatever it is that we love, we commit for the hopes of happiness. If we take a step back, stop and think about everything in life, it all requires some sort of commitment. A first-year pupil takes acceptance into a school or college with a commitment of graduating. We interview for a job with a commitment that, if hired, we will work hard and go above and beyond our duty description. Families run on commitment; parents are committed to their children, children are committed to their parents, wives are committed to their husbands, and husbands are committed to their wives. Everyone that enlists into the military commits to an automatic eight year term. When I joined the Army in 1993 I gave a commitment, on paper, to give that same eight years of my life to being the best Soldier I could be. Despite, on paper, eight years was the maximum anyone could give; I committed mentally, the next twenty years, no matter what hardships I endured along the way. To me, that was a genuine commitment and I wouldn’t be content until I accomplished that goal in my life. On my wedding day, I committed...

...Basics of Strategic Planning The objectives of strategic planning including understanding the benefits of strategic planning; understanding the products of strategic planning; and learning the keys to successful planning and implementation. Many organizations spend most of their time reacting to unexpected changes instead of anticipating and preparing for them. This is called crisis management. Organizations caught off guard may spend a great deal of time and energy "playing catch up". They use up their energy coping with immediate problems with little energy left to anticipate and prepare for the next challenges. This vicious cycle locks many organizations into a reactive posture. It does not have to be that way. A sensible alternative is a well tested process called strategic planning which provides a viable alternative to crisis management. Strategic planning is a step by step process with definite objectives and end products that can be implemented and evaluated. Very simply, it is a process by which we look into the future, paint a picture of that future based on current trends, and influence the forces that will affect us. Strategic planning looks three to five years ahead. It charts a definite course based on strong indicators of what the business environment will be like in those years. Indicators include census demographic statistics, economic indicators, government policies, and technological advances. They reveal strong trends regarding changes in...

...Oppotunities: The key Advantages Self Directed Teams are improved quality, productivity and service, greater flexibility, reduced operating costs, faster response to technological change, better response to workers' values, increased employee commitment to the organization, ability to attract and retain the best people. Recommendations: The management team needs to relook its commitment to the self-directed approach and commit to the goals and objectives of the SDT concept. Information by way of feedback from the coordinators and teammates need to be sought to understand the problems with the self-directed teams. There should be continuous training and development for the various line operators and technicians. Employee empowerment and motivation Conclusion: In my opinion SDTs have proven to be an effective tool for improving productivity and staff moral; there are several areas that need to be assessed at Corpus Christi, prior to the implementation of such a structure at the two other facilities. While productivity has increased at Corpus Christi, there remain some areas that require attention in order to achieve the high objectives set by the RL Wolfe management. The refining process would require time, dedication and full management commitment to SDTs. This refining process...

...Hattie past work record indicates that her work was at a good stand point for some time then she began to neglect her job. Hattie went from a good work record to one that was no so good due to the fact she was missing numerous amount of days at work. In Hatti doing this is reflects to the company she does not care about her work or job. I feel that the company should have warned Hattie in writing every time she was late, missed work, or left early. If this had occurred the company would have a written record on the days she missed, her reason, doctors notes, and her signature stating she acknowledge her absences. This way the company would have had on record her signature to the days missed so when the overtime issue arise they would have grounds...

Between God and me I'm about to commit this sin And I know it's pretty bad My heart pulsate like you were right by my side But you are God now loving me despite my short-comings I'm living this life Not exactly like you would want me to A loving father you are And I know you will still chastise me But the adrenalin that comes with breaking a law is just so enchanting Now between Me and You I know I love you like crazy But still take granted for your mercies Choice and will you gave me The liberty they bring I'm abusing This time I'm before you My hands behind my back; face to feet As ashamed as I'm guilty;of the sins I committed like duty Forgive me and keep me a place in your kingdom Because between Me and you; you know I have no other to turn to ...

...Cisco first Research and development center outside in the USA was in India. The management learnt from this establishment various lessons that eased their way to opening a R&D in China. The Global Development Center established in India had a big attraction with 300 engineers making it a low-cost engineering resource for San Jose. Different projects where directed to them for support which leads to having many turnovers. Therefore, the management decided to that they need to integrate the employee within the organizational goal to gain the commitment. The first step in establishing the R&D was to gain what is called the Concept Commit approval by the decision makers then the execution commit for the approval of the resources. After that, engineers and scientists generally conducted original investigations on a systematic basis to gain new knowledge (research) and/or the application of research findings to create or significantly improve products or processes. So at Cisco R&D centers, several software developers thought about how to create a product or process and how to implement it—take ideas from zero and create new things. The CRDC group knew that the first project would be critical. Raznjevic believed they needed a core project that would bring some money to the company but was not strategic to Cisco. They needed to establish power authouriy as they would have different staff varying from vice president, general manager (GM), senior/junior staff so each should have certain...

...see change as an opportunity to strengthen the business by aligning operations with strategy. However, employees see change as neither something to sought after nor welcome as it is disruptive and intrusive. It changes the balance. In order to fix this difference, managers must put themselves in their employees’ shoes and examine the terms of the personal compacts between the employees and company. Personal compact is the reciprocal obligations and mutual commitments, both stated and implied, between employees and the organization. It has three major dimensions. The first one is the formal dimension wherein employees capture the basic tasks and performance requirements for a job as defined by the company. In return, managers convey the authorities and resources the employees need in order for him to do his job. If it is not clearly stated in the documents, oral agreement is done in this dimension. This formal compact will not ensure that employees will be satisfied with their jobs or that they will make personal commitment that managers expect. The second dimension is the psychological dimension. This addresses aspects of the...
