opponents were not favorable by a team’s fan base. Barry Bonds, with the help of a couple other notable home run hitters, reeled in fans across the nation to watch them play and hit home runs. On a baseball team’s line up for batting, the fourth hitting spot in the lineup of nine was designated for the most powerful hitter on the roster. With this tactic coaches, across the MLB, hoped for their first three batters to get on base to get into scoring position. The fourth batter would come up to…

It was a warm May evening, and I had just made it home. On my way through town I was passed by several police and fire vehicles, at the time I didn’t think anything of it. Little did I know I would run into those responders again that night. It was about seven thirty when my phone range, and I looked down to see it was my boss calling. Naturally at this point (I had been working for the funeral home for a little over a year and a half) I was not surprised to be called in, as I did the majority…

Bob Nardelli joined the Home Depot team in 2000, when it was already successful. However, he also joined during a time when the company had grown so rapidly so quickly that changes needed to be made. While he created his own change model, had he known about Kotter and Cohen’s 8-step change model, he may have met fewer challenges (Kotter & Cohen, 2002). When Nardelli first arrived at Home Depot, he was deemed an outsider of a close-knit organization. Nonetheless, the board had made the decision…

When I was 7, since there were not any softball teams available for me to join, my father even signed me up to play for a boys baseball team. It might have been weird that I was a…

I have always excelled in my position, right field, with zero errors; I was slightly cocky. I would have been fully cocky if my throwing was a good as my ego was. Although I made the team, I was surrounded by amazing…
