...First Line Supervisor /OIC Training It should be noted that being chosen as an OIC candidate is a crucial step in your career development. It is probably one of the most difficult positions in law enforcement. You will be expected to be a leader even when you are not in charge The OIC position is meant to develop your leadership skills and will assist you in obtaining your goal of becoming a ranking member of the management team By becoming an OIC you should not assume that you will automatically progress to the next rank.

You should be congratulated on taking this first step toward your future, and feel free to approach any member of the supervisory team to assist you as you move forward. Selection to a leadership role in any department is a rewarding yet difficult role, as a new leader you will be challenged by all levels of the organization. You will be challenged by your superiors to make decisions that are in the best interest of the college and the department. You will be challenged by your peers to not do or say anything that will put you in a better light than them ,and most of all your subordinates (former peers) who will expect you to let them slide when they violate policy ,or don’t follow through on a particular task.

...Cyber Security Student: Maurice Jones Class ISSC461: IT Security: Countermeasures Instructor: Professor Christopher Weppler Date: 2 August 2013 Introduction “In a future conflict, an adversary unable to match our military supremacy on the battlefield might seek to exploit our computer vulnerabilities here at home (President Barack Obama, 2012).” Technology has changed the total lifestyle of people around the world. Here in the United Stated, society’s daily lives revolve around social interaction, economic stability, job security and information dominance. Information Dominance is “the degree of information superiority that allows the possessor to use information systems and capabilities to achieve an operational advantage in a conflict or to control the situation in operations other than war while denying those capabilities to the adversary (US Cyber Command, 2012).” Corporations as well as many of the world’s governments have risen and fallen due to their degree of Information Dominance and Information Security. Cyber-attacks have increased exponentially within the last 10 years. Battlefield lines that were once drawn in the sand no longer exist. Cyber-attacks can occur from any location in the world and at any time. A Cyber-terrorist has the ability to use current communication infrastructure to launch an attack that could cripple a nation. In 2012, Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta spoke at the Business Executives for National Security (BENS) summit....

...Carlos Vasco Dr. Robert Heron IENG 4104: College English 1 October 03, 2007 An Unforgettable Day The morning of February 26, 1994 looked like a regular day, sunny with a little of a breeze. Perfect to do exercises or only to relax in the house. February 26 was a Saturday and my wife was nine months pregnant. She woke me up about six o'clock in the morning and said, “ I think it’s time to meet your baby”. When I heard to these words, my body filled with adrenaline and I jumped out of the bed. I started running around trying to find all that we would need for this special moment. Even though we had everything ready a month ago, I was sure that we would need more stuff. Suddenly I started thinking how we came to this moment. I got married at the age of twenty. I planned a few goals before having children. I wanted to buy a house, have a better education that would allow me a better job, and the most important thing is to have a strong relationship with my wife. We went to the emergency room at the General Hospital and they sent us to the delivery floor. They wouldn’t let me go inside because they needed to examine my wife. The doctor needed to see how advanced the labor was. I had to wait outside an hour but I felt that I was waiting all my life. A Doctor called me and explained that my wife had a problem. He said that my wife had Pre-eclampsia and this affected her high blood pressure , which can be very dangerous for her and for the...

Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person. The most common bullying type is school bullying, where some students use force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Justifications and rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of class, race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance, behavior, strength, size or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. "Targets" of bullying are also sometimes referred to as "victims" of bullying. [pic] Bullying In The Workplace ...

...QuickMBA / Accounting / Standards Financial Accounting Standards Accounting standards are needed so that financial statements will fairly and consistently describe financial performance. Without standards, users of financial statements would need to learn the accounting rules of each company, and comparisons between companies would be difficult. Accounting standards used today are referred to as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These principles are "generally accepted" because an authoritative body has set them or the accounting profession widely accepts them as appropriate. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) The Securities and Exchange Commission is a U.S. regulatory agency that has the authority to establish accounting standards for publicly traded companies. The Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require certain reports to be filed with the SEC. For example, Forms 10-Q and 10-K must be filed quarterly and annually, respectively. The head of the SEC is appointed by the President of the United States. When the SEC was formed there was no standards-issuing body. However, rather than set standards, the SEC encouraged the private sector to set them. The SEC has stated that FASB standards are considered to have authoritative support. Committee on Accounting Procedure (CAP) In 1939, encouraged by the SEC, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) formed the Committee on Accounting Procedure (CAP)...

...This is an essay regarding the seven Army Values, with focus on the importance of respect for leadership and the value of using tact within the military structure. Loyalty "Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers. Be loyal to the nation and its heritage." This is why the Army definition of loyalty uses the phrase, "true faith"; to have faith means to believe even when the evidence and facts are in disagreement with the desired outcome of one's hopes and actions. Loyalty means to believe that our personal sacrifices will be worthwhile in the end no matter how bleak the outcome may look in the present. Duty "Fulfill your obligations. Accept responsibility for your own actions and those entrusted to your care. As soldiers, we are obligated to act on the loyalty we have for our U.S. constitution, the Army, our fellow soldiers, the nation and its heritage. This is our duty. Respect Treat people as they should be treated.” Respect can be summed up as the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Selfless Service “Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own. I define selfless service as the actions soldiers perform above and beyond the call of duty. Honor “Live up to all the Army values.” Live up to all the Army values. Implicitly, that’s what you promised when you took your oath of office or enlistment. Integrity “Do what is right, legally and morally. Be willing...

...We all know when we have a good supervisor, but it can be quite difficult to actually state what makes a good supervisor good. Does it have to do with their personality, their insight, intelligence, or their personal beliefs, morals and values? Is it a mix of all these things, and do certain characteristics apply more than others? The first thing we should appreciate is that there are a huge amount of traits that need to be considered. Over the duration of the paper I will be focusing on a few select traits which I believe to be the most important in regards to being a good supervisor. Firstly, a good supervisor must be a good coach. For a supervisor to be successful, it is imperative that they have the qualities that we attribute to any normal coach. This is because a coach knows how important it is to coach their team, or in this case, employees. Successful coaching means working together with your employees to create and modify action plans and objectives. Supervisors must know how to delegate tasks between individuals, and give all the support and guidance that may be needed. On the topic of individuals, a good supervisor must understand that everybody is different, and to be mindful of this fact when dealing with his or her team members. Secondly, a good supervisor must have a positive outlook and be a positive thinker. He or she will think how problems can be solved, while maintaining an air of friendliness, so that they remain approachable, and their employees aren’t...

...signed “Integrity Statement”. MAIN QUESTION: CHAPTER 1 CONTENT What do you consider the most important points (or lessons) that were introduced in the text and class discussion? Were these new topics or did they reinforce what you had previously learned? What have been your personal experiences and/or how would you apply these to your workplace? I have been a part of many different jobs over the years and until recently, at a lower level with no managerial or supervisory responsibilities. As a first line of communication to upper management a supervisor has to have excellent communication skills and create a great working and professional with the employees they oversee. If there are any issues from a first line supervisor or (s)he does not take their job seriously, employee moral breaks down. When a concern is raised it needs to be communicated up through the management chain if a supervisor cannot correct it. The supervisor needs to be able to take concerns, troubleshoot and communicate further if needed. The topics covered were something I believe I had some strong knowledge on since I have been in the workforce since I was 16. It is important to observe others, including upper management and...

...organization to improving quality of work output and also motivating employees. Recently I sat down with Ryan Birdseye in Carlsbad, CA. Ryan is the owner and supervisor of a realty firm where he employs six people; five agents and one secretary. Ryan and I discussed how he runs his business and what he believes it takes to be a good supervisor. Goal-setting for employees is one of the objectives Ryan thinks is important. Employees need to have direction and purpose to better serve the company. These goals can range from personal goals such as being to work on time and meeting deadlines, to more profit orientated goals that help improve the overall business of the company. One way to help them meet these goals is to conduct regular team meetings. Ryan holds weekly meetings with all his employees. One thing Ryan likes to do in the meetings is recognize the hard work of his team. A new listing, a signed contract, or a closed sale are something to be acknowledged. He stressed that in real estate, there can be periods of time when business is slow so he likes to set aside time in the meetings for employees to share their strategies and success stories to keep the team motivated. Being supervisor keeps Ryan very busy. He is often away on conferences or traveling to meet potential clients. He has to have a staff that he can trust to keep the business...

...Characteristics of a Supervisor I interviewed several friends of mine about the characteristics that they like and don’t like about me. I will start off with what they like. I am smart, honest, friendly, helpful, goal-oriented, dependable, ethical, over achiever, always on time, and outgoing. I agree with all of these characteristics. The characteristics that they don’t like are that I’m moody, I like to delegate, I yell, I’m thrifty, tense, stubborn, boring, I like to speak my mind, like to be in control, and that I don’t like crowds. I don’t agree with that they don’t like it that I speak my mind. I feel that you have to be able to speak your mind in order to keep from being walked all over. I also feel that I have to be in control of whatever situation I’m in order to keep from being walked all over. The rest of the dislikes I have to agree with. If I had to sell myself in an interview I would discuss my communication skills, awards, volunteer work, grades, work ethic, time management, and samples of my work. I would provide recommendation letters and professional references that I can trust. I would be in a suit and have my portfolio on hand. I believe that I am supervisor material because I am trustworthy and this is of utmost importance to employers. I am enthusiastic about my work and this leads to people being more responsive to me and it also shows that I’m compassionate and dedicated. I am confident in myself, which shows that I can lead and set...

...Being a good supervisor is a very difficult task. A boss must have several qualities to be considered good. Probably, the three most important characteristics a good chief must have are: leadership, organizational skills and communicative skills. First and foremost, leadership is a crucial capacity every boss must have in order to help him to conduct and entire team of employees to achieve a common goal. This quality allows a boss to inspire other people or even influence in their decisions. In the day to day work, it is important that a leadership can put a target that all their group can be identified and to make all the efforts necessary in order to accomplish what is needed for the benefit of the company and not their own. For instance, as in the case of the sports and education it is highly rewarded the role of a leadership. Furthermore, a good supervisor must know how to organize his team. He must identified which are the specific qualities or capacities each member have in order to fit them in a particular group. Each group, can be guided into a particular and clearly established objective under the continuous monitoring of the supervisor. For example, this capacity will help to achieve a particular goal more efficiently because international studies have revealed that working in a very well organized groups can reduce the timeframe in a process. Last but not least, a good boss must have a good communication with his or her people. In order, to transmit his ideas he...
