standard in specific facets such as providing employees the best place to work and maintaining loyalty amongst customers, to name a few. My understanding of the culture at Lincoln Electric Company is one of respect for employees, respect for upper management, a sense of community, and brand loyalty. Respect for employees is demonstrated in several ways. It appears to be the core of the company, as upper management realized when the workers are happy, they will have a desire to remain with the company. The company allows employees to have a voice in the company in matters related to its success. A committee of representatives is selected from peers, and this committee meets with the CEO bi-monthly (Arthur Sharplin, McNeese State University, Lake Charles, LA., 1989).

Although objections of being born with mental differences may…

I have observed many children who have dropped out of college because they were not ready for the freedom of being on their own. I remember my next door neighbor only let her son attend a local community college. The other children attended colleges and universities far away from home, but he went to school nearby. The reason behind that is because his mom wanted to make sure her child was prepared for college mentally. She didn’t want her son to drop out because of parties, and not keeping up…

Hardwork. Dedication. No reward One of these doesn’t seem to connect with the others. If you are a working hard and dedicated to what you do, shouldn’t you receive a reward. That thought goes through the heads of college athletes, everyday. They live this story, putting in hard work and time into playing for their school, yet they receive nothing.
