...Outback Steakhouse Chandra Shaw Dr. Sherbert Strategic Human Resource M Discuss how the employee selection methods at Outback Steak house help the organization achieve a competitive advantage. The selection process allows for them to pick the employee’s that best fit the company’s profile. The process seems to be laid back with an introduction to the company. The company takes time to allow for the candidate to be familiar with what the company expects from them. This also allows for the applicant to see if they can meet the company standards. If the applicant feels that they cannot meet the standards they can dropout and the company has not wasted any money on training the applicant. We share a document, called a dimension of performance, which provides detailed examples of the kinds of Behaviors expected of outbackers and how Those behaviors are tied to the vision of Outback. This is a candidate’s first exposure to our vision. (At this point, some candidates have withdrawn from The process because these dimensions set a very high standard.) (Stewart 234) The competitive edge this gives the company is that it is able to be very selective about their employees. This method saves them money...

...you go from the divergence into the convergence phase, which is critical for your innovation success. Imagine you have a wall of 500+ ideas in front of you: and now what? How do you pick the right idea? That’s the question. In my innovation practice I have experimented a lot the last 10 years to deal with this essential question. It’s not an easy one to answer. Unfortunately I have not found the ‘holy grail’. But the great advantage of continuous experimenting in converging, selecting and improving ideas is that you learn a lot. And I like to share five of my important learnings on how to pick the right idea. 1. Take you time. One of the most frequent mistakes is spending a lot of timing generating ideas, leaving hardly any time in the ideation workshop to converge, select and improve them. You should spent at least 2/3 of your process on picking the right idea and 1/3 on getting a lot of ideas, instead of the other way around. Promising ideas at the front end of innovation are like rough diamonds, which look like other regular stones but will shine...

...‘story’ in mind. Especially when answering general questions like “introduce yourself” or “walk me through your resume”. By ‘story’ here we mean that your points should be interlinked in some way, either progressively leading to something or highlighting different scenarios where you showcased a particular set of traits. * It helps to know what the required traits are in the roles that you are being offered, and then show off instances in the past where those traits have emerged. * When talking about goals and future plans, always make sure you sound plausible. Also, your destination (say where you see yourself in five years) should be backed up by a) skills/traits that you already have b) Skills that you will acquire plausibly over the time period). * Please be HONEST in your portrayal of strengths and weaknesses. Especially in weaknesses, there is a tendency to hide behind clichés like, “I tend to work too hard”. Recruiters have also been in the same boat as you before, and can usually spot such made up ‘weaknesses’. In a question like this, they are assessing your ability to answer a question with no...

...of the Problem This research was conducted to investigate the learning skills and learning styles among male and female nursing students of Calayan Educational Foundation, Inc. It also sought to answer the following questions: 1. What are the learning skills and learning styles of nursing students of CEFI? 2. Is there a significant difference in the learning styles and learning skills of male nursing student and female nursing students? 3. What are the common learning styles and learning skills strategies used by these students? Review of Related Studies and Literature Do you know you’re learning style? You may be surprised to know that many frustrations you've experienced in reading comprehension or test anxiety may result from your specific learning style. For instance, you may learn best by seeing, hearing, or working through a piece of information. When you identify your own best learning style, you can change your study habits and improve your grades. Your learning style can affect your study habits and make it easier or more difficult to learn certain types of information. Have you ever read a paragraph or two and realized that the information didn't sink in at all even when you try a second time? This could actually be a reflection of your learning style. According to Melissa Kelly there are three major types of learners: visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. “Visual learners are those who generally think in terms of pictures. They often prefer to see...

...Case Study 3: Building a Coalition Keller Graduate School of Management MGMT 591: Leadership and Organizational Behavior March 22, 2015 Part 1: Group Development The five-stage group-development model consists of: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. (Robbins 275) Forming stage. In this first stage, the team is getting to know each other, their backgrounds, work experience, and learning about their strengths and weaknesses. Informal leaders may start to emerge during this stage, and it’s important for management to recognize them. They are getting oriented with their surroundings as well as details about the task at hand. Management should be setting the stage for success by setting roles and responsibilities, providing instruction, guidance, expectations and structure. (Gervais 2014) Storming stage. At this stage, personalities start to come out (good and bad), group norms and/or cliques begin to form, and conflict between one or more of the members occurs. Management must address deviant behavior(s), misunderstandings, gossip/backtalk, etc and encourage communication, trust, and respect for each other. Norming stage. At this point, team members are conforming, getting along, supporting each other, and behaving in line with accepted and established group norms (such as showing up on time, contributing to the group effort, not speaking over each other, etc). Performing stage. At this stage, the team members’ efforts should be synchronized...

Goal interdependency is key for understanding cooperation/competition relationships perceived by the involved parties as "win-loose/win-win" situations. Skills and Knowledge (Deutsch, 2006): skills and knowledge are key requirements in order to predict, avoid, manage and resolve conflicts. Deutsch (Deutsch, 2006, p. 18) refers to three levels of skills. First, skills have to do with establishing and maintaining effective working relationships. Second, it is emphasized that skills are required to sustain a cooperative conflict resolution process. Third, skills are essential for developing effective group problem-solving and decision-making processes.

...Richard Liu EAS546-002 2/19/2014 Effective Presentations Preparation In order to deliver a passionate, charismatic presentation, it is necessary to carefully rehearse and prepare beforehand. As introduced by “Preparing to Be Real,” there are several strategies during rehearsal which can help better connect the speaker with the material and his/her charisma: (1) find and rehearse its essence, by running through the high-level structure of the speech in a short duration (learning what’s important and what’s not), (2) focus on the opening story, by providing a concise, compelling introduction which relates to the overall theme of the talk (paying attention to emotional language and signals, and paring down irrelevant details), (3) practice the big emotional stretch, by transitioning among the emotional spectrum from happy to sad (becoming more comfortable with big feelings, facial expressions, gestures, and motions), (4) babble to increase nonverbal skills, by delivering the essence speech with nonsense phrases, gestures, and body language to convey meaning (learning to demonstrate charisma and becoming comfortable with our emotional attitudes), (5) put on a persona, by taking the role of another person to allow the speaker to become much more expressive (finding someone who engages you imaginatively and emotionally), and (6) learn from the best, by watching Martin Luther King Jr. give his “I Have a Dream speech” and following his dramatic starts and endings. Once the speaker has...
