Money and Success Unlike slaves, we have no owner we are entitled to speak of what to believe and what we decide we want to pursue, we have the right to be heard when we are being mistreated and pursue law suits if needed. The question is why do people not object to what is going on around them? Been young and racing a child, not coming from a wealthy background and having to start on your own, or simply feeling they will get fired at a sign of complaint are just a couple of examples that…

I’ve gained skills from retail, essential in dealing with people on a day-to-day basis. One of the main skills I gained working in retail is dealing tactfully with coworkers and customers. These experiences opened my eyes to the different diverse range of background and cultures, which have strengthened my problem solving and communication skills. A particular situation occurred with a coworker, which took a negative impact on my mood; but through careful strategizing was able to deal with the…

Brette Sember and Terrence J. Sember wrote on the subject of firing an employee, first thing to do, they suggest, is to gather all the information and documentation of the reasons of why one is firing an employee.

Showing one’s employee why he/she is being fired can also show them the skills that they need to become better at for a different…

Being a leader is not about who you are or the title you hold, it’s about your actions and what you achieve. The most important contribution a leader can make to an organization is a long lasting transformation that allows for an institution, and its members, to continue to thrive and prosper. 11 When I think of the words leadership and innovation the person that comes to my mind is Sherri Carter, the Los Angeles County Superior Court Executive Officer/Clerk. From the moment Ms. Carter stepped…

It is in every human nature to work, however, people tend to overwork for many reasons and it can take a hold of their health, family and life. In the book Gig, two individuals discuss how their lives were being affected by how much time and commitment to their work demands. Overwork can affect people in different ways and it can affect the individual’s relationship between their loved ones. In the article, “Working to Live or Living to Work” by Ronald J.

Because SIGMA will face a time when long tenured employees will retire, it would behoove them to look at internal options first; as this may decrease the expense of external recruiting cost. However, if the corporation moves forward with outside recruiting options, one of the best methods includes employee referrals. There are positive, and negatives to this realm of recruiting and they include:…
