...ASIGNMENT REPORT How to be a good manager Student Sunny 05/01/2013 I’ve known that good managers’ attributes that are useful are that they are always on top of what happens in the office. They make sure that the whole office runs efficiently by keeping an organized office. It is very important to be organized and to love what you do in order to make sure that the office is taken care of to the best of their ability. That is a reason why I’m interested in how to be a good manager. Firstly, a manager needs thirty skills to be successed: Communication, Listening skills, commitment for a truth, empathy, persuasion, leadership, focus, division of work, obstacle removal, heat absorption, uncertainty removal, project management, and administrative and Financial Skills. Communication, listening skills, and commitment for a truth are the most significant for a manager. Now, I would like to focus on communication first. There’s a lot of communication when you’re a manager. You have to communicate with each of your employees. You have to communicate “sideways” with your co-workers and customers. And you have to communicate upwards with your own manager or executive. You need some substance in the communication, of course — you need to have something worthy of being communicated. But substance isn’t enough — if you know what you’re doing and can’t properly communicate it to anyone else, then you’ll never be a good manager. Secondly is listening skills. This is a part of communication...

...A very good morning to our teachers, parents, guardians and students. It gives me great pleasure to join you here today for our Open Day in this year. On this glorious morning, I, XXX the founder of Brainy Montessori , I am going to give a talk on “What Does It Take To Be A Good Parent?”. In my speech, I am going to share with you some characteristics of a good parent. According to Oxford Dictionary, parent define as a person who is a father or mother or a person who has a child. Parent also define as to be or act as a mother or father to someone. Another definition of parent is an animal or plant that produces a young animal or plant and also define as something out of which another thing has developed. Good in other hand define in Oxford Dictionary as having the required qualities, of a high standard, possessing or displaying moral virtue, and also that which is morally right. Therefore for me, good parent is someone refer to father or mother who loves their children unconditionally, communicates openly with their children, is involved in their children lives as much as they can be, someone who is there for them when they need someone, some one who teaches good morals and values, someone who shows them right from wrong, strict but not too strict. Parenting is a lifelong journey. As parents, we have an important responsibility. Every parent wants to be a good parent and role model for our children. But to be a good parent is not easy. It is a journey of trial and error...

...There is a lot that goes into being the president, it definitely is not an easy job. Being the president you are trying to lead a whole country (along with influencing the world) to a better future. That is extremely difficult to do because you can’t please everyone it is impossible.

In order to digest her thoughts she went for a walk through the island. Alone she thought. Aloud she though and she began to share her thoughts with whatever crossed her way: leaves, trees, stones, ants, crickets, etc. Had God created the world by himself? ʘ After long discussions with stones, trees, the river and frogs of the island, Aletheia went back to her grandma saying: “It is a lie.

...common currently. Many students live with other classmates in one dormitory on campus; some workers share the room with other people in big city because of the high rent fee; the others who living with someone else would feel safety and take care of each other. So, for these people, it is very important to find a nice person to live together. I would choose a good roommate who has some good characters such as integrity, keep everything clean and good at communication. First of all, the person must be honest and straightforward. Before the person becomes your roommate, you don’t know what he or she really is. So honest must be the key character for consideration. An honest man would never cheat you, annoy your life or even threat you safety. If a person, for instance, is dishonest, he or she may steal your stuff or money, or bring bad friends into your room. Such bad things will effect your peaceful life even make you feel danger. However, how can we recognize whether a person integrity or not. For me, I would like to review it into three different backgrounds. The first one is the family background. The person who grew up in a good family would not do such immoral things to other people. The second aspect is the education level. If the person gets well education, he or she must have many abilities which include the basic one-honest. The last one is related with the job and social backgrounds. I prefer to choose a roommate who will be introduced from my colleagues or friends. Because...

Although it is natural (and good!) to have some measure of anxiety, you must not allow it to cripple your presentation.

Nevertheless it also says that the difficulty of schooling has significantly decreased in recent years. School is more about fun now then about work.

...How to Write a Good Report Bhaskaran Raman, Apr 2004 This short document describes how to write a good report. This is based on common mistakes I have observed over a period of time.
