those employees again when the have to make tough decisions. An effective manager must also be able to relate to their employees. By being able to relate to your employees, it will then show the employees that you understand where they are coming from, because in all honesty every manager started out somewhere and most likely it was in the same position that some of the managers in today’s workforce employees hold. One of the better things that shows that Madison is effective in her management…

masculinity, some people react more like frozen lug nuts as they stubbornly resist the torque of new information. Fear not, I have neither desire to judge nor justify. However, writing about the masculine side of sexuality reminds me of trips to an auto parts store. The attendants…

“Who can say where the road goes, where the day flows, only time.” So begins Enya’s most recognized song, and so, in a way, begins the epic story of Mr. Kaufmann, a High School Forestry teacher who was a carpenter before that, and a student before that. When I first met Kaufmann, I was immediately struck by his eccentrism and clear passion for his job. He is unheeding of barriers, very loud, and tells many stories. He doesn’t take much bull, and is firm but fair. He often claims to be “Almost…

Two weeks before my 16th birthday got my first job. I held a part time sales associates job at Herbergers department store. I loved the financial freedom having a job had given me. I no longer needed to ask my parents for money, if I wanted something I bought it. When I was growing up whenever I had asked my parents for money, I always had to answer two questions, Do you really need this and why. No matter what their final answer was, it never failed to include lecture about how hard they worked…

1957 when the USSR launched Sputnik 1 on October 4. To the American people it meant that now they could drop nuclear warheads on anyone at any given time. Maybe the most important part of the launch of Sputnik was that it showed the United States how behind they were. After this, Sputnik 2 is launched containing a dog in it to see if a living organism can survive in space. Two months later the United States finally makes it a competition. They send Explorer 1, a satellite into orbit on…

the fans are coming to watch, the athletes. “The University of Texas generated over $100 million in revenue in 2011…” (Keolanui, 2014). They made all that money from the football games and from the fans and where does it all go? The NCAA makes about 1$ billion a year. College athletics as a whole pulls in bout 12$ billion annually. NCAA money comes from mostly TV and marketing and makes up less than 10% of all college athletics money. As the years have gone on, the NCAA is making more and more…

HR professionals “communicate and implement HR strategy, thus helping shape the organizational climate, influencing employees’ attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately affecting occupational health and organizational performance.”(Bowen and Ostroff, 2004) There are numerous HR practices such as “recruitment, promotion, training, wages, labor-capital relationship, employment assurance, security, and welfare,” (Dessler, 2001) and these are used to meet both short and long term priorities, depending…

Module 1 Rough Draft2 Millions of middle aged people like me have decided to return to school in hopes of attaining personal satisfaction, switching careers, getting better paying jobs and even climbing the corporate ladder within their current company. As a non-traditional student, I feel that I have encountered more disadvantages like age, higher living expenses, raising children and greater time constraints than the traditional 18 or 19 year old student who is entering college for the…

pact together and struggling in the ghetto of New Jersey to fulfill their dreams to become doctors. In “The Pact” there are George, Sam, and Rameck achieving dreams with the power of friendship. I find the book worth reading because I can relate to parts of the characters life. The pact formed between George, Sam, and Rameck is a good example of success because of their mindsets. The mindsets I want to talk about are “applying past knowledge to new situation” and “persistence”. These two…
