These factors are simple to understand, easy to measure, and can add tremendous value to any organization that is willing to implement them. Use these 10 tips to make sure that your employees are energized and inspired to produce the best results possible. 1. Interesting Work Intrinsic motivation comes from the shear joy and pleasure of doing a task. When you read a great book, no one has to pay for each page you read. It is a pleasure to learn how the story unfolds and watch the plot develop. It is the same way with employee motivation. To maximize employee performance, find out what employees like about their jobs and then try to add more tasks that align with their own natural interests and talents. 2. Appreciation & Recognition William James said, "The deepest desire in human nature is to be appreciated." It does not matter how much you pay someone, everyone want to know that their efforts are being seen and appreciated, especially by their manager. Don't just send them a thank you e-mail - that just means you care enough to hit the "Enter" key. If you really want to thank someone buy them a real "Thank You" card and describe how their behavior and performance has added value to the team and organization. Make it a point to catch people doing things right...

...There are different types of species in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada; the producers, the consumers, and the decomposers. The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range’s foothills are at a low enough elevation that plant and animal life is adapted to hot, dry summers with very little or no snow in the winters. This type of dry climate leads to a lot of shrubbery and trees, which means there will be a large population of small animals and birds that will seek shelter in the shrubs and tree branches, as well as the larger animals that will feed on the plants and smaller animals. The plants that are typical to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range are numerous, but the most notable are the chamise, ceanothus, manzanita, Blue oak tree, Interior Live oak tree, and the Gray pine tree (Encyclopedia Americana, 2006). Chamise belongs to the rose family, and is a very dense flowering shrub that can grow up to 12 feet tall (Charters, M, 2010). Ceanothus belongs to the lilac family, and is often called the California Lilac (Schaffner, B., 2010). Ceanothus is a dense flowering shrub that is eaten by many of the animals as the leaves are very high in protein. Manzanita belongs to the evergreen family of shrubs and small trees, and is a dense...

...Question 1. Production processing is an important component of operations management and it involves all the processes that characterize the transformation of a particular range set of inputs in order to produce the desired outputs. At Stickley Furniture, the primary mode of operation is continuous production. Also referred to as flow production, continuous production mainly entails the approach of processing or manufacturing the various parts in order to come up with the final product on a continuous basis. There are several major reasons as to why continuous production is evident at Stickley Furniture: * Firstly, the company assesses the nature and/or quality of timber prior to feeding it into the saw. The process of assessing the quality of timber at Stickley Furniture is achieved in two main ways: manually and also through the use of computers. Employees at the Stickley Furniture closely examine all the timber in order to ascertain the quality more so in terms of knots. * On the other hand, specially designed computer software is also used by the company to verify the quality of timber before feeding it into the saw for processing. This kind of approach goes a very long way towards ensuring that the quality of furniture produced at Stickley Furniture is excellent and meets the high expectations of clients. * The next step after sawing the timber is to produce the various types of furniture in line with the orders that have been placed by clients. All these...

...Oak Industries, Inc. Case – sample answer 1. Is it unethical for a company to intentionally understate its earnings? Why or why not? Yes, it is clearly unethical to intentionally understate earnings since the management makes representations that the financial statements are complete and accurate. It is obvious that intentionally understating earnings is done to allow the company to later overstate earnings by using falsified reserves to cover the inadequate current period earnings. These manipulations and misrepresentations do not allow fair comparisons of the results of operations between years. In this case the misrepresentation gave a totally false picture of the success of its subscription television systems and interfered with the ability of users to correctly analyze the financial information of the firm. These misrepresentations impaired the decision-making ability of the financial statement users and defeated the purpose of financial statements presenting a true and accurate picture of the company. 2. Should auditors be equally concerned with potential understatements and potential overstatements of a client’s revenues and expenses? Identify audit techniques that may be particularly helpful in uncovering understatements of revenues and overstatements of expenses. Auditors are required to plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the client’s financial statements are free of material misstatements. These misstatements...

...Joshua Henderson 10/2/14 Comp 1 Descriptive assignment Trees that lined the dark trail were various bright colors of green. The trail was filled with ruts from previous bikers. Tread marks from their tires swerved up around the trail and mountain like snakes. The little light that could be seen peaked through the leaves above and shone lightly onto the floor of the surrounding forest. The light reflected off pools of water from the rain the night before and bounced into my eyes making it difficult to see. I pushed down hard on the dark metal peddles of my bike. The more I pushed the more the mud pushed back. With each downward stroke I could feel pain in my legs grow. I did my best to put the pain out of my mind as I continued to push against gravity, up the mountain. The bike covered in the mud and dirt from the days ride could easily pass for being aged, however, just a few weeks ago it was hanging from the store’s rack. The new heavily treaded tires dug well into the soft ground. Not once did my tires spin out, for the tread gripped the mud like spiked shoes gripping a football field. It was a surprisingly breezy day for the end of July; however, I could not feel the coolness. The hill had worked my body into a heavy sweat; it felt as though I was trying to peddle around the ring of a volcano. As I continued to push up the mountain the mud seemed to become deeper, its slush rose slowly until the bottom inch of the tire could not be seen. The more I pushed...

...being scared, wanting to run away, fight even the sadness I felt when I thought the wolf had caught and eaten Peter. It has been over 20 years since I last heard “Peter and the Wolf”. I can still remember the vivid sounds of the timpani drums from the hunters’ gun, the playful flute of the Bird and the humorous oboe for Duck. Listening to the “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” I am reminded of my childhood “Peter and the Wolf” as each of the instrumental sections awakens the playfulness in their instruments ability. For example Track 11 of the woodwinds where the flutes and piccolos come in light soprano tones; I am instantly swept away to imaginary forest, where the sun is shining brightly against a mid-summer sky, shade from the tall oak trees offer coverage and solitude from the suns’ rays waiting to burn my skin with their...

...stronger in my art collects and my ideas about fashion got stronger. I believe expressing my creativity is great way for me to show my genius creations. In 2007 when I was in third grade the art teacher, Mrs.Rother, had entered us in a contest about endangered species. The Endangered Species contest consisted of all of us drawing a postcard about an endangered species like an animal or a plant. I think there were four winners out of this. I remembered Mrs. Rother explained to us about this contest, it had an individual drawn picture on a postcard of an endangered species. Right of the bat I cried because I hated drawing. I put a lot of pressure on myself, I really wanted to win and do a good job. One of the endangered species was a Nuttall Oak leaf. I like leafs and flowers so I decided to do this leaf. I started tracing the leaf which turned out really big and the stems were crooked. However, I erased it and started over. My idea for this leaf was to combine colors you would see on a leaf and colors you might not see on a leaf together and make the colors heavy using colored pencils. Once I got done with my leaf I waited for the results. The announcements came on for the finalists. I didn’t think I was going to make it because it looked ugly to me so I didn’t pay attention. I waited a couples days to hear but I was the last one be called. Surprised, I was overjoyed by the fact I made it even though my leaf was ugly in my opinion. I went to the location of where they were hosting...

...Jug Bay Lab Intro The Jug Bay Watershed near the patuxent river wetlands. The area is a wildlife sanctuary for animal and wildlife preservation. The dominant forest type around Jug Bay is of deciduous forest. This province comprises the flat and irregular Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains down to the sea. Well over 50 percent of the area is gently sloping. The climate regime is equable, with a small to moderate annual temperature range. Average annual temperature is 60 to 70F. Rainfall is abundant and well distributed throughout the year; precipitation ranges from 40 to 60 in per year. Mild rainforest is run of the mill in this region. The broad beach front bogs and inside bogs are overwhelmed by gum and cypress. Soils are chiefly Ultisols, and Entisols. Estuaries are home to exceptional plant and creature groups that have adjusted to salty water. Container Bay backings and holds a wide assortment of untamed life and species. Container Bay is one of three locales which makes up the Chesapeake Bay estuary. These tributaries are a critical part of the general wellbeing of the Chesapeake Bay biological system. The essential point of this trek was to examine the natural life found in the Jug Bay region and record information about it. Description of Methods/Procedure: Though out the day we went and investigated two different plots and explored the wetlands. In the two plots we went to, we had to research the wildlife to decide if the plot was a young forest, a mature...

...Looking back, I remember running through the long lush grass pretending we were at battle and trying to take cover. I would always find myself behind the old oak tree in our back yard. This was my favorite spot. The thick trunk, like a bodyguard, protected me from the imaginary bullets that flew towards my body. I would lean against the hard bark and for some reason it was comforting to have something sturdy to lean on. It was dark brown, and every now and then a spider would nestle between the pieces of bark. Sometimes I would touch the tree to peek around the corner and my fingers would be sticky. I could never quite figure out why that was, but, nevertheless, I had the hardest time getting it off, a constant reminder of my tree. When my little brother, miguel and I weren't at "battle," I would lay beneath my oak tree and daydream. As I looked up I could see millions of branches protecting me from everything above. At the end of each branch were hundreds of more leaves that would gently catch the morning dew, and carefully allowed it to make its way to the grass. It was like thousands of stars in the sky as the sun caught the drops and allowed them to sparkle so brightly. This was my heaven, and as I lay there, I could feel the plush grass, like a snuggly old blanket, holding my body gently against the ground. Sometimes the grasshoppers would appear from around a blade of grass as if they were asking for approval to jump on my blanket. Every so often a leaf would jump...

...Leaf color is among the most remarkable features of the deciduous forest, especially in North America. What gives this magnificent deciduous forest its name is there colorful show, tons of leaves once were held by branches, are suddenly set free, to dance in the wind, and are destined to land on a surface. “To fall off” means deciduousness. Deciduous comes from the Latin word decido. This only happens with deciduous trees. Deciduous forests bare tree leaves on winter and grow their green leaves back on spring and summer. They’re very many animals which live in the deciduous forest. Small and large animals alike use the forest for shelter and food. For four to seven months in winter the food is scarce. The animals either migrate, hibernate, or find other ways to endure winter. Sixty to seventy percent of the birds in the deciduous forest migrate to the tropics for winter. The primary consumers in this system includes insects, birds, rodents, and deer. The secondary consumers include foxes and owls, who eat the rodents, birds skunks, and opossums who eat the insects. The tertiary consumers the cougar, preys on deer and smaller animals and the bear are omnivores and eat anything organic they can get such as grass, berries, mushrooms, small animals, and carrion [dead animals]. A deciduous forest typically has three to four, and sometimes five layers of plant growth. This is a forest of some angiosperms such as fruit trees and berry bushes. Most deciduous forests...

...The rusty entrance gate does not do what it is suppose to do, the tarnished steel and peeling white paint does anything but welcome you. ‘Bare City’ barely seen printed at the top of the gate, both vowels missing. What is this place? Some describe it as garbage, some call it home, I do not want to call it. As I step further through the gate I notice a large oak tree with names, hearts and curse words carved into it. I shake my head and purse my lips in disapproval. What is this place? Surely, it has to get better than this. It doesn’t. The dry, crisp un-watered grass is a deep-seated tainted brown color and the flowers are lifeless. I can tell that in earlier years Bare City was beautiful, what ruined it? A hurricane? A tornado? I can see now that it is a lack of interest and care. The smog and air are compressed with toxins, foul. I cannot breathe. What is this place? The trash cans pile over and the oasis of garbage decorates the bottom of the bins, the streets, the ‘houses’. I think momentarily how, by some misfortunate fate, I ended up at this dirty, despicable ‘City’. As I stand at the entrance I could see miles and miles of trailers a few yards away. They too have been rusted and what’s left of the paint barely maintains posture. How could someone live here and not be disgusted? I wince at the thought. But where were the shops, the businesses, the playground? Where were the people? Hesitant, I take a step further. I creep through the ghost town and find the main...
