Erie Chapman, president and chief executive officer of the Baptist Healing Trust, and author of the book, Radical Loving Care: Building the Healing Hospital in America, states that “Radical loving care” is a joint endeavor of the entire staff “. . . that attempts to put primary focus on very individual, making them feel specifically attended on” (Chapman, 2003).

based on the organizational chart (Marquis & Huston, 2012). For example, middle managers could be considered to have a high level of centrality because they give and receive information from upper management as well as from non-administrative staff such as staff nurses.

Animal Welfare groups.

Colin Powell exemplifies the true American dream ideal. Through his achievements in life, he has demonstrated that despite one’s humble beginning, family status or socioeconomic background, self-discipline is the determining factor between success and failure.
