...What is leadership moment? Moments that defines us. In life and in leadership, we experience moments and events that define who we are - as leaders and human beings. What we do, what we say, and the distinctions we make during these defining moments impact and define who we are and what we value and stand for - in our mind and in the mind of others. Defining moments occur periodically through life and through a leader’s career, often times unrecognizable as being “defining” until sometime later on. What makes certain moments in our leadership career defining? What impact do these moments have on defining who we are as leaders? How do those around us react to how we behave during a defining leadership moment? As a leader, why should I be concerned with a moment or experience in the past? What difference do these defining leadership moments in our past make anyway? Defining leadership moments are also moments or experiences where your words, behaviors or decisions - how you handle yourself in a given situation - creates an impression that helps to define your leadership in the minds of others. How you are distinguished by others as a result of these defining leadership moments contributes to your leadership legacy in action. It is the impact your actions have on others that create the distinctions that contribute to your leadership legacy.

...ever had a moment when something happens and it’s almost as if the world goes quiet? This moment is something I refer to as a moment of impact and I believe everyone has had one or will have one in their lifetime. Time will stand still and then everything that has happened will hit you all at once. There are many communities that experience these moments together. I believe our moment was the death of our classmate Chyann Banta and her sister Tiffany Banta, for the students at OSU it was the moment their homecoming festivities ended in death, and for Native Americans it was in 1830 during their forced relocation. These events are all many years apart, yet they all relate in some way. The morning of September 25, 2013 the town of...

This fascination led me to explore what occurs to a human head upon impact from a boxer’s punch. It is known that a knockout occurs when blood circulation to the brain is compressed. This compression results from the sudden acceleration and deceleration of the head[1]. Therefore, the primary focus of this experiment explores the relative effort necessary to cause significant movement to a head about a neck. Figure 1 - Picture of modeled head and spine secured to a table ! To achieve this, a simplistic mechanical model of a human head, a socket, and a spine was built. A volleyball was used to simulate a head. A garage door spring with a diameter of 4.0 ± .05cm was used as a spine. Lastly, a small wooden block acted as a socket between the head and the spine. A small support board held the spring...

...that understanding what deserves to be remembered is an important thing. The three factors that should considered when creating a memorial are the number of lives impacted, the purpose of this moment in time, and the ability for this memorial to bring healing to the people who need it. The first piece of criteria to consider is the number of lives impacted by the moment. In order to memorialize a moment in time it needs to have a lasting impact on people. Whether this impact has to do with people finding new land to colonize or burying the dead the lost in a tragedy. According to Source D, Savannah Memorial Park holds more than 3,000 graves dated back to as early as 1847. Kosareff states, "The pioneers from the Santa Fe Trail would bring their dead along with them, preserved somehow, and buried them here." Due to the fact the...

...Throughout human history there have been defining moments that were the reasons behind many of this world best and worst times. These moments, often involve either to loving or tormenting nature of mankind. The Jewish holocaust is an example of the latter. What took place in the early 1940s in then Nazi Germany, has effected the world in dramatic ways. More importantly, its impact on those who survived it can not be ignored or forgotten. The millions of lives lost during that time often are simply remembered as a numbers. In reality, these were mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. Most of all, they are innocent people being killed because of their ethnicity. So, with the holocaust being a stand out moment in 20th century it is important to examine a few things. Its impact on those who were there, what it says about mankind, and how it shaped history. To properly understand the topic at hand, it is important to first discuss the impact of...

...to work but also impact the bottom line. How can management influence the importance of adding value to coworkers? *How will coworkers accept and understand that they must perform in order to rewarded as well as meet* the expectations of management? Management has the power to positively or negatively influence the importance of adding value to coworkers. Since the ultimate goal of an organization is to receive maximum performance from a team member, here are a few suggestions on how management can positively influence the outcome of adding value to all team members and the organization. Has there ever been a time, where you really needed a pick-me-up at work? For some, this feeling is quite frequent; for others-not so much. There is a way in which management can influence a team member to prevent this feeling. This is done by “Creating Moments that Matter”. This is a concept that can positively impact all team members of an organization in many ways. Creating moments that matter in an organization, means going above and beyond what is “typically” done in a work environment. Creating moments that matter makes a big difference on the time shared at work. All employees would like to have some feeling of appreciation after a days work. Well how do you get an employee to give maximum performance? First, hire those who want to work and meet or exceed the jobs qualification requirements. I believe management can have a positive impact by exuding awareness...

...While many people believe being a leader involves a bold and entitled person, do not abide by this. Leadership holds many meanings because the moment a person impacts someone else’s life maybe even in the smallest way can display leadership. I myself have experienced a “lollipop moment” the day I met someone who would change my life forever. This small amount of leadership shown by a stranger instantly changed my life. Totally unaware of the significant moment going on, I treated the moment like any other time I acquired a new friend. Before I knew it though the friendship blossomed into something bigger than words. This person changed my life and reminded me that genuine people do still exist. In a way it kind of felt like a dream because...

...National Moments Fueling Nationalism, and Nationalism Fueling Wartime Culture LE300 – Warfare and Culture Core Assessment Paper Abstract This paper will take a close look at nationalism, nation moments and war time culture, and how the three influence each other. National moments inspire nationalism, and nationalism inspires culture. There will be a focus on America’s national moment of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the nationalism that was bread from it, and the war time culture it inspired. Another focus will be on the freedom that Australia gained from the Britain after the landing in Gallipole, and the nationalism that grew while they were fighting with the British Expeditionary Force during the Great War. Lastly we will examine modern day nationalism, and take a look at a differing opinion on the subject. The Great War was filled with defining national moments for each country involved, which lead them to develop their own sense of nationalism. Their sense of nationalism influenced the way they fought and strategized in World War I. David Silbey’s chapter, “Connecting Culture and the Battlefield: Britain and the Empire fight the Hundred Days,” in Wayne E. Lee’s book, “Warfare and Culture in World History,” describes how operational decisions guided cultural development during World War I, and in turn, how wars are “…constructions of the cultures and societies that wage the wars, built according to the principles, beliefs, and myths of those cultures...

...During the first two weeks of senior experience I got to shadow different nurses each day at University Hospitals. Most of the two weeks I spent at University Hospitals was spent shadowing nurses and seeing what they do on a day to day basis. I got to observe the interactions between all of the nurses and their patients which was really helpful in seeing what they actually do. Throughout the two weeks there were many memorable moments that I was fortunate enough to see. The first memorable moment was when I was shadowing a nurse on rainbow Babies and Children’s floor four. Floor four is the step down from the nicu which holds all the babies were who born premature and require to live in the hospital however they are not sick enough for the...

...peacefully grazing in a savanna. A lion is slowly approaching. At the last moment, the zebra spots it and activates the fight or flight response in order to save itself from the predator. It escapes. At the same moment, the lion also activates this response, but for different reasons – to catch a prey. Five minutes later, after danger is gone, the zebra continues grazing peacefully. This’s the key! When the fight or flight response is activated, the body facilitates all the energy in order to survive. This energy is redirected...

...terrifying moments of my life, I adventured into a room full of students that I didn't know. Four months later I sit in the same room, this time it's the close of my first season as a Marching Huskie. The seniors each approached the podium and made their farewell speeches. In this moment It seemed as if I had loads of time left in my marching career. Little did I know, the next four years would go by faster than I could imagine. I had no idea the impact this organization was about to have on my life. I had no idea the experiences and challenges I would face with this group that I would learn to call my second family. While being a Marching Huskie has come with many challenges, the greatest challenge has come in my final years....

...Running Head: HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH Human Population Growth [Name] [Course] [Professor] Assignment • What is the current estimate of the worldwide human population at this moment? • Describe how this number is changing moment-to-moment, day-to-day, and from one year to the next. • Describe how the human population growth issue has and will impact the ecosystem. • Cite all references in APA format Human Population Growth There are several different estimates of the current world population, which vary slightly based on some assumptions about population estimates in different countries. Most census data for various countries is at least two years old (and may be older). Population models have to account for growth since that data was collected. They also have to adjust for some errors in that data (miscounts, birth and death rates, migration, etc.). Given the variability of the base numbers and the differing estimates of errors, it is not unexpected that there are slightly different numbers. According to the US Census Bureau’s International Data Base (IDB) population clocks, at 17:05 GMT (EST+5) Feb 13, 2009, the world population was World 6,760,296,593. Thirteen minutes later, at 17:18 GMT (EST+5) Feb 13, 2009, the Census Bureau’s world population estimate was 6,760,298,598. That means, that in just 13 minutes, according to the US Census Bureau, about 1,005 more people existed on Planet Earth, or births outnumbered...

...Patrick B. Reijnders, Christian Darryll A. Assong, Michael Roger G. Saxton and Leilani De Guzman Abstract Customer experience creates competitive advantage in terms of the customer, the staff and the travel agency. Thus, the critical importance of customer experience must be addressed to increase the potential of travel agencies for improving their business and leisure client’s experiences. Hence, the study analyzed the factors of product experience, outcome focus, moments of truth and peace of mind as constructs of the customer experience quality that possibly impact on customer satisfaction. The researchers probed on the data generated from consumer’s perspective and answers to assess the relationship of the customer experience juxtaposed to customer satisfaction. Apparently, the results revealed that there is no significant relationship between customer satisfaction and the customer experience. This means that customer satisfaction does not depend on the product experience, outcome focus, moment of truth, and peace of mind. However, there is a positively high relationship...
