...10 essentials for giving purpose to your church How do you structure a church so it just keeps on growing and doesn't plateau? I believe there are 10 essentials you must focus on as you structure your church. 1. You must develop an unshakable conviction about growth. First and foremost, you need to settle on the idea that God wants His church to grow. And He doesn't want it to stop growing! You don't ever need to apologize for wanting your church to grow. God wants His church to grow; it's His will and His command. The reason churches must grow is because people are going to hell without Jesus Christ. As long as there is one person within driving distance of your church who does not know Jesus Christ, you must keep growing. 2. You must change the primary role of the pastor from minister to leader. You can grow a church to 300 with pastoral skills or ministry skills, but for it to grow beyond 300 will require leadership skills. As a leader, you must learn to communicate your vision in very personal and practical ways. You must also learn to motivate your church through your messages, and understand that it's easier to motivate a group than it is to motivate individuals. A leader also equips others for ministry. Otherwise, you'll burn out and the church won't grow. An expanding ministry also demands you learn how to raise money. Those who write the agenda must underwrite the agenda. And you must learn to manage your time. Effective leaders know where their...

...diverse group of staff provide a background to provide the services required to flourish in a growing market. The company does have some weak links and one will be the amount of initial debt required to start the company. In the current climate of geological engineering services the growth due to national and local regulations is trending up. This allows new companies to startup and become profitable very quickly. The market is growing at such a large rate that the effects on another geo-engineering company due to the success of this company will be minimal. The strong industry growth will allow several similar companies to thrive and become financially stable. Diversity in clients will be the key to sustained success in the industry.

...Business Portfolio Paper Brittany Abner BUS/211 May 2, 2015 Jason Clark The salon owner resides at the head of the organizational chart. While specific day-to-day responsibilities vary based on the individual salon, the owner primarily concerns herself with customer service, human resources and financial details. The salon owner makes hiring, marketing, property, inventory and design decisions, while staying involved in staff licensing and business certification requirements. If the salon owner is a licensed cosmetologist, she also styles hair and executes other beauty processes for which she is appropriately trained. Reporting to the salon owner, a salon manager provides orientation to the salon staff, explaining operational procedures and functions, which are based on company policy. The manager works with staff members to improve performance and ensure quality service while maintaining cleanliness and customer satisfaction. In cooperation with the salon owner, the manager also analyzes personnel records, requisitions supplies, participates in disciplinary procedures and assists in resolving customer complaints. Hairstylists, nail technicians, color specialists, and makeup artists commonly work as peers within a salon, reporting to the manager, though some organizations have senior and junior-level stylists or technicians, based on experience or tenure. Each performs his own specialty service and recommends the services his peers provide, as his customers require. A...

...The Importance of Staff Diversity in Childcare Since the introduction of affirmative action in the 1960's, diversity has become a growing concern. Diversity has also caused employers to become more aware of its necessity in the work environment. In a society that is growing more diverse by the day, businesses are forced to recognize the need for diversity in their overall management practices. Working in the childcare business has taught this author the importance of diversity among my staff and our classrooms. The services that are provided reach all types of families, cultures, and races. But the vast majority of childcare centers tend to lack diversity in their staff. The author of this paper intends to show directors of childcare facilities that diversity is important in order to meet the needs of their clients for three primary reasons: to incorporate all walks of life in an ever-changing society, to develop clear communication between staff and parents, and to enhance the learning environment for the children being taught. Diversity has become a part of our everyday society and culture. As childcare providers it is imperative that directors become aware of the constant change and equip themselves with the knowledge needed to meet the needs of the current society. According to Pearson (2000), “...early childhood educators and caregivers are faced with the dilemma of meeting the needs of an ever-changing population. As the population becomes more diverse, classrooms...

...Migration Technical Paper: Planning an Application Server Migration Imagine you are working for a large international purchasing company that has just bought a growing local company that manufactures western wear at several locations (it’s a group of cottage industries; remember from the other scenarios that it now has eight (8) satellite offices, four (4) large and four (4) small ones). The previous owner, Sam Yosemite, tells his IT team to provide support and information to your IT staff to help with the transition to your forest domain. Gathering information from the other writing assignment descriptions, decide the best ways to bring the “Wild Frontier” network into your domain, “Foghorn Leghorn” and migrate to your current standards. The business acquisition is largely superficial and the existing personnel structures will remain in place. You have to bring the “Wild Frontier” under the “Foghorn Leghorn” domain and make sure production needs are met at all the satellite locations. Your budget is fairly generous due to allocated funds for the transition, but will likely be much more constrained in the future. Take maintenance costs (both money and man-hours) into consideration as you design your solutions. The same design requirements specified in the writing assignments (support, hours of operation, remote staff, Internet access, and sensitive file access) still apply, but disk space management is no longer as much of a concern and being part of a large company brings economies...

I can say it is not easy when you and your students cannot communicate. Dealing with the situation makes you question yourself and how you can fix the language barriers in your own classroom and also the school. What can teachers do to overcome the language barrier in our classrooms with our Latino children? What are some activities, lessons, games, and etc., that we can do to make a connection and also help them learn? There are many ways I think we can put a stop to the language barriers in school. We may not be able to completely fix the problem but there are ways and things we can do to make our Latino children and parents feel welcome and comfortable when they walk into the schools. Communication is an important part of teaching because the children have to be able to understand the message that the teacher is trying to convey. Children also have to be able to communicate with each other. There are a number of factors in the classroom and many...

...setting and you have noticed tension growing amongst your staff members. The problems have become apparent not only to other employees but to the customers as well. For fear of damaging the business’ reputation and in turn this affecting sales, it is necessary for you to investigate the situation further and to restore a pleasant work environment. To begin you must establish a plan of action. First identify the main source of the problem. Interview all parties knowledgeable of the situation. Be sure to take note of comments and suggestions given by staff members during your one-on-one interviews. Often those close to the situation have great insight on how to end such conflicts. Once you have conducted your investigation determine the level of priority this situation deserves. Ask yourself if this is low priority, meaning something that can possibly work itself out or is it a situation that needs prompt attention and an immediate solution implemented. Consider if the problem may be solved amongst staff or perhaps a third-party intervention may be necessary. Remember, you have to work with the individuals, so it might be necessary to involve a third-party. When you have planned your course of action, it is time to bring everyone together and inform them of your solution. Remember to remain calm, communicate effectively, be fair and use good management skills. Once you have given set instructions to your staff, it’s time to test your solution by observing the employees...

...All successful small business startups eventually face the issue of handling business expansion or growth. Business expansion is a stage of a company's life that is fraught with both opportunities and perils. On the one hand, business growth often carries with it a corresponding increase in financial fortunes for owners and employees alike. In addition, expansion is usually seen as a validation of the entrepreneur's initial business startup idea, and of his or her subsequent efforts to bring that vision to fruition. But as Andrew J. Sherman observed in The Complete Guide to Running and Growing Your Business, business expansion also presents the small business owner with myriad issues that have to be addressed: "Growth causes a variety of changes, all of which present different managerial, legal, and financial challenges. Growth means that new employees will be hired who will be looking to the top management of the company for leadership. Growth means that the company's management will become less and less centralized, and this may raise the levels of internal politics, protectionism, and dissension over what goals and projects the company should pursue. Growth means that market share will expand, calling for new strategies for dealing with larger competitors. Growth also means that additional capital will be required, creating new responsibilities to shareholders, investors, and institutional lenders. Thus, growth brings with it a variety of changes in the company's structure...

...For Growths Sake Running Head: FOR GROWTH’S SAKE For Growth’s Sake Timothy Halstead Capella University For Growth’s Sake Quotes such as “new and improved”, “super-size me”, “bigger and better” are ones that we have heard over and over regarding various consumer products. Similar things can be heard when looking at companies. A big trend currently in business is business growth. Many people in business rate the success of their business purely by how large and quickly they are growing. However, in business planning it is often too easy to overlook some of the dangers of growing a business. In order to have successful business growth, the business must have a plan. Part of that plan is to understand some of the problems that come with business growth and ensure they are not simply growing for growth’s sake. Bigger does not necessarily mean better, nor does growing bigger mean that the business is protected from the same problems (or perhaps more) that smaller companies deal with. CNBC has listed 10 mega companies that are no longer active companies (American’s Iconic Companies that Disappeared, 2015). Amoco was swallowed up by BP. Bethlehem Steel, the world’s second largest steel manufacturer, went bankrupt in 2001. Circuit City went bust in 2009. Compaq Computers was the largest supplier of PC systems in the US in the 90’s but no longer exists. Leeman Brothers with $600 billion in assets had the largest...

...Mobile Computing and Social Networking Mobile computing is quickly becoming widespread throughout multiple industries and the medical field is one of the main clients adopting this technology. The success of this technology is focused around the ability to move around with your device, easily accessible, computerization of forms and workflow charts minimizes the duplication of effort, real time communication, and overall better patient care. Mobile technology in the medical industry is growing with enthusiasm and making the medical staffs jobs easier. All areas of the health care field are important; monitoring vital signs is at the top of the list. Monitoring patient vital signs has changed significantly from in-patient visits to using mobile computing. Monitoring vital signs includes multiple areas of concern, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and more. As noted by (Zimmerman, 2011) of these can now be monitored remotely and save the patient valuable time from traveling all the way to the doctor’s office and getting all of these vitals checked in person. Another added benefit to mobile computing is the accuracy of the documentation. When a person is manually writing everything down and then later transferring it to a computer, there is a lot of room for error. Miscalculations can even be life threating. By incorporating conveniences such as the iPad, the nurse, technician, or monitoring device itself is now adding the information directly into the systems...
