...Affairs program at the Navy Region Southwest Reserve Component Command after four years of no existence can be a challenge within the command and in the Southwest regional offices. Recently, leadership has begun revitalizing the program with the use of a Public Affairs Officer that has been permanently assigned to deal with the issues of starting a Public Affairs program. Summary The Public Affairs(PA) program has been nonexistent in the last four years at the Navy command, Navy Region Southwest Reserve Component Command (NRSWRCC). The program has had no one in charge of the program at the command or its subordinate commands throughout the Southwest. The program lacks leadership, implementation, structure, training, equipment, and manpower. Background Public Affairs (PA) is a term for the formal offices of the branches of the United States Department of Defense whose purpose is to deal with the media and community issues. The term is also used for numerous media relations offices that are created by the U.S. military for more specific limited purposes. PA offices are staffed by a combination of officers, enlisted personnel, civilian officials and contract professionals. Public Affairs offices play a key role in contingency and deployed operations (SECNAVINST, 2012). The typical PA office is led by an officer who is in charge of planning, budgeting for, executing and evaluating the effectiveness of public affairs programs, and provides public affairs advice, counsel...

Nait-on leader ou le devient-on ? | « Parce que vous êtes les décisionnaires de demain... » De nombreux étudiants d’Ecoles de Commerce, ou plutôt Ecoles de « Management » ont intégré cette filière après une classe préparatoire, qu’ils ont elle-même intégrée après le bac, alors que le marketing n’était encore qu’une notion floue, le contrôle de gestion un mot grossier, et sans réellement connaître les tenants et les aboutissants de la finance. En réalité, ils se sont retrouvé là pour la plupart parce qu’ils avaient des niveaux scolaires corrects au lycée, ce qui leur a ouvert les portes d’une classe prépa puis d’une Ecole. Finalement, les étudiants à qui on rabâche qu’ils sont les décisionnaires et « leaders » de demain ne se sont pour la plupart jamais projeté sérieusement au-delà de leurs...

En 1999, cent jours après être passé numéro un chez Nissan, Carlos Ghosn a lancé son « Nissan Revival Plan ». Après cent jours aux commandes d'Airbus en 2006, Christian Streiff a, lui, rendu son tablier. Deux cas extrêmes et un constat : lorsqu'un dirigeant arrive dans une entreprise, les cent premiers jours sont cruciaux. « L'ordre du jour et les priorités sur mon agenda sont complètement différents pendant cette période », témoigne Laurent Choain, devenu en 2010, directeur des ressources humaines du groupe Mazars. Ces trois mois, hautement symboliques, doivent cependant s'accompagner de gestes concrets. « Ce qu'un dirigeant aura fait ou pas fait, dit ou pas dit... tout sera observé lors de cette période où les attentes sont exacerbées. Il est essentiel de cerner les enjeux, de donner le cap, voire de redresser la barre sans délai, et de s'imposer », affirme Olivier Lemal, associé du cabinet de management de transition EIM, qui...

Pa’s traditional values in women is strongly shown through this quote, and is much like how people thought in the 1930s. Surprisingly, Ma defies these gender roles that are placed on her, not accepting defeat. Ma knows she has the capability to become a leader which pushes her to win this argument. This event is what made Ma, the new leader of the...

...Introduction: In a short period of time taking chances to determine the factors which may cause the increasing numbers of policies that needs to be re-evaluated for its revision, amendment or rescission as the case may be. It is observed that management and administration may not seem glamorous to young Officers who find excitement in operational duty. Adjutant General Service (AGS) work is not exactly attractive. It may hardly notice behind-the-scene of activities like management of personnel affairs, records-keeping, or the dissemination of official information, orders, instructions as these have been relegated to the background. While the rest of the Philippine Army (PA) hugs the limelight for brilliant operational activities, AGS pursues its goals quietly albeit with renewed vigor and dedication. Based on record, new generations from other source of entry to the military service like the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) have joined the AGS as their Area/Field of Specialization, 1 Captain, 8 1st Lieutenants and 15 2nd Lieutenants. A good move that will somehow help the AGS on its primary function, having a young Officers, full of inspiration and dedication to the service. However, this may change as time flies, like change of AFOS, a challenge that the Philippine Army should look into. Body: As seen in the power point presentation, the present composition of the Philippine Army Policy Board, created purposely to review and update...

...Tutorial Week 6: Case Study - Leaders and Followers Flying High at Pancontinental Airways Excellent customer service is all important at Pancontinental Airways (PA). A sense of fun pervades the Australian based company with the hope that this will spread throughout the organisation and impact the all important relationship with PAs customers. For PA central to the organisation/customer relationship is the recruitment, training and development and retention of staff based on a strong collegiate culture between the organisational leaders and followers. The organisation also has a very visible `fun presence` clearly seen in for example the colourful external paintjobs on the company`s aircraft and the behaviour of staff throughout the company from the Managing Director (MD) through to operational staff including flight attendants. The MD, Henry Callahan, is oft quoted as saying that `getting the right people in the right place at the right time is key to PAs success`. For him you cannot develop what is not inherent in individuals and so the company actively recruits those it considers to have the `right attitude`. The specific task training will then develop the already present personal qualities of staff. Within the industry PA, and Callahan in particular, has a reputation for `wacky behaviour`. Shareholders too have to agree that these tactics seem to be paying off. The company`s turnover in the last decade to 2010 has almost doubled and customer satisfaction ratings...

...AACN Statement of Support for Clinical Nurse Specialists The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is committed to advancing professional nursing roles and highlighting the connection between well-educated nurses and quality health care. As a leading supporter of academic institutions that educate advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), AACN is keenly aware of the direct link between graduate-prepared nurses and both patient safety and positive outcomes. Within the APRN community, Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) play a unique role in the delivery of high quality nursing care. These clinicians are experts in evidence-based nursing and practice in a range of specialty areas, such as oncology, pediatrics, geriatrics, psychiatric/mental health, adult health, acute/critical care, and community health among others. In addition to direct patient care, CNSs also engage in teaching, mentoring, consulting, research, management and systems improvement. Able to adapt their practice across settings, these clinicians greatly influence outcomes by providing expert consultation to all care providers and by implementing improvements in health care delivery systems. AACN supports the full definition of the Clinical Nurse Specialist outlined in the American Nurses Association’s 2004 publication titled Nursing: Scope & Standards of Practice. (See Attachment A). Further, the growing body of research on CNS outcomes shows a strong correlation between CNS interventions and safe...

...85). The impact that the IOM report has had on nursing and it’s future, as we know it has been colossal already. The report that was obtained in 2010 shows us the importance of nursing in patient centered care and the delivery of more primary care than specialty care as well as the focus of shifting care into the community instead of the acute care setting. If we as professionals can alter this shift in healthcare we will provide advanced quality care, decrease errors and provide better safety. The call for the advanced degree practitioner (APN) and physician assistant (PA) is vast; the IOM report is calling for advanced degree practitioners (APN) and physician assistants (PA) to be able to practice to the extent in which they were trained so that they may be able to take some of the burden off the shrinking medical profession and an already fragmented healthcare system. The hope is by giving the APN and PA a less restrictive role in health care it will help to streamline the fragmented healthcare system as well as significantly bringing down costs. These streamlined plans have already proved effective in the Geisinger Health System of Pennsylvania, U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs and Kaiser Permanente. Comprehensive care was given at a greater value to the patient and the institutions by escalating and intellectualizing the role of its nursing work force. The significance in learning that APN’s and PA’s would eventually take the place of the general practitioner was strongly...

...abortion causes severe psychological and emotional damage to a woman who has undergone this surgery. One of the most common dangers awaiting women who have committed an abortion is post-abortion syndrome (PAS). Generally speaking, it is a complex of emotional and psychological symptoms connected with the traumatizing experience of terminating pregnancy. The most common PAS symptom is the sensation of guilt, connected to recognition of an abortion as a murder; at the same time, according to studies, about 70% of women who have had abortions disapproved of abortion in general, but tended to think of themselves as exceptions. Anger is another common emotion for women who have undergone an abortion. Usually, this anger is directed at oneself when completing an abortion, and/or other people involved in making a decision about the abortion, such as spouses or relatives; however, this anger may be also directed at the woman’s current or future children. Broken relationships, psychological numbing, and depression are also a part of PAS (Leadership U). The post-abortion syndrome with its symptoms is not the only danger that possibly awaits women who have decided to terminate their pregnancies; there exist other emotional and psychological problems which are not necessarily included into PAS. For example, a woman who has undergone the abortion procedure may develop such persistent symptoms as shame, a sense of isolation, a loss of self-confidence...

...1 LEADERSHIP IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT: THE INFLUENCE OF FRATERNITY OR SORORITY MEMBERSHIP ON COLLEGE STUDENTS LEADERS by Kharla Mae D. Brillo Feleycyl Joy Cruzada Angelo Jaiko Del Rosario Roevel Paul Quirao Jett P. Pastrana In partial fulfillment of the course requirements in Psychology 118 (Field Methods) Submitted to Mr. JOHNREV B. GUILARAN Division of Social Sciences College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines Visayas October 9, 2012 2 Leadership Identity Development: The Influence of Fraternity or Sorority Membership on College Student Leaders Fraternities and sororities began more than a century ago as relationship building organizations in which leadership development could be cultivated (Cory, 2011) but until recently, research found that fraternity and sorority membership may hinder student development and negatively impact the wellbeing of college students (Maisel, 1990; Wechsler, 1996). According to Kelly (2008) benefits of membership are realized by fraternity and sorority student leaders but struggled to refocus on their espoused values and mission: scholarship, service, leadership and relationships over the last several decades (Cory, 2011). Conversely, incidents of hazing, alcohol abuse, sexual assault, and substandard performance in the classroom, often overshadow the benefits of membership (Cory, 2011) suggesting that fraternal organizations have strayed from their traditional and founding values (Garret, n.d.; Maisel, 1990)...
