...Personal Responsiblity Personal Responsibility and Academic Success GEN/200 October 12, 2013 Kalene Parker Personal Responsibility and Academic Success To obtain academic success through personal responsibility individuals must take ownership of his or her goals. Prioritizing tasks, such as time management, identifying purpose and goal setting are essential in one’s path to success. Even though there may be outside influences that may change life’s course, personal responsibility is necessary for academic success because every choice made is one’s own responsibility and every individual can decide how to shape he or her future. Personal responsibility is the privilege to make his or her own choices and obligations in life. One would agree with famous author Stephen Covey’s explanation. “Look at the word responsibility - “response-ability” - the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling” (Covey, 1989. Pg81) Personal responsibility...

...Personal Responsibilities Danyell Johnson GEN/200 09/15/2014 Jeremy NeVille Introduction In my opinion, personal responsibility is the main key in becoming successful. To achieve this you must hold yourself accountable for your own actions as well as decisions. John G. Rowland said, “I’m ashamed to be here today, and I accept full responsibility for my actions.” Mahony, Lender & Altimari. 2005). You need to take charge by practicing discipline as well as using time management skills. If you can incorporate these two things in daily life then you can easily incorporate them in becoming a successful college student. Personal Responsibility Finances play a major part in one’s life; I know it does for me. When I think about finances I think of bills and budgeting those bills. To budget my bills I use a calendar to help me keep track of which bill is due when. This has helped me so many times because I tend to stick my bills in a drawer and forget about them. If I write on my calendar all my bills then I can visually see what is needed to be paid next. Budgeting can be hard and I am still in the process of learning how to budget. It will take time and practice and I know that I will get the hang of it sooner or later. My family is also another major benefactor in my life. With going back to school I now have to manage my time between school and family. I have a three and a half year old son and he requires most of my time. He is not used...

Differentiate Between Management and Leadership At Wal-Mart, management is a mixture of controls and standards with a certain degree of freedom for everyone to be able to test on new things and continue to innovate for improvement. The company has excellent controls and they make the company good. Management strategy is built on teams and the leaders go through the process of working with their team members. Leaders go with the group and after every major operation, they all sit down together to analyze the strengths and improve on the weaknesses of the endeavor. Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, introduced some of the basic concepts of management which were popular with employees until the present. He offered stock options and store discounts to his employees. Walton believed that teams will always do better than individuals hence; he has always tried his best to make his employees happy since happy employees make happy customers and more sales. Another reason is that he believes that the employees would care about the company more when they are a part of it and their success is dependent on the company's success. At Wal-Mart, management encourages their employees to be open to talk and air out their concerns and problems. This is what they call the "open door policy" management style.

Service to the church is very important and it comes with responsibilities that are church oriented with service to the church community (Schoeder, 1997). The importance of usher membership and their responsiblities to the church has a definite substantial impact in meeting the needs of people and in keeping the church service running smoothly (Parrott, 2002). As a body, there are about 40 to 50 usher members who have different schedules to be available for working usher time periods. Of this group, 27 of them are very experienced, 15 are teenagers, and 8 are junior ushers. Some of them want to change their schedule usher hours to make their personal lives away from the church more manageable and convienent. Others want to change scheduled meeting times from every first Saturday of the month to either Wednesday night before bible study or on Sunday immediately after service. The main point seems to be what is the most convienent schedule change...

...1 - Introduction The influence of top management team (TMT) on organizational behavior and outcomes is one of the most widely studied relationships in strategic management. Since Hambrick and Mason’s (1984) seminal article on organization’s “upper echelons”, organizations and strategy researchers have tried to establish a relationship between top management team demographic characteristics and firm outcomes. However, empirical results have been inconsistent. Certo, Lester, Dalton and Dalton (2006), after conducting a meta-analysis of several studies, found modest support for a direct relationship between TMT demographic indicators and firm performance, but indicated moderating influences. Hambrick (1994) provided the main argument against TMT research based on demographic characteristics. According to him, this line of inquiry pays “too little attention to the actual mechanisms that serve to convert group characteristics into organization outcomes” (p. 185). Recent research on strategic leadership, trying to overcome these mixed findings, has begun to change focus away form TMT characteristics and concentrate on the processes underlying TMT decision making (functioning) such as comprehensiveness, consensus, social integration, conflict and decision speed (Certo et al., 2006). Lubatkin et al. (2006) and Carmeli and Schaubroeck (2006) present good examples that, when processes were measured directly, they were a stronger predictor of organization outcomes and performance...

...Managing Responsibility - What does this article tell us about quality and responsibility management and how we can integrate this into organizational processes? In terms of quality, the article tells us that, "companies cannot compete successfully without paying close attention to the quality of their products and services." With regards to responsibility management, it is said that, "Corporate responsibility is defined as the ways in which a company's operating practices (policies, processes, and procedures) affect its stakeholders, and the natural environment. Demands for enhanced corporate responsibility come from corporate critics, social investors, activists, and, increasingly customers who claim to assess corporate responsibility when making purchasing decisions. These demands go beyond product/service quality to focus on areas such as labor standards, environmental sustainability, financial and accounting reporting, procurement, supplier relations, environmental practices, and supply chain management." Quality and responsibility management can be integrated into organizational processes. by considering quality and responsibility before all else. For example, according to MIT, "activities like making a decision or approving an application are parts of many organizational processes." > http://ccs.mit.edu/21c/mgtsci/index.htm Therefore, before 'any' rules of order or decisions, organizations must first base or filter all actions through the lens of quality assurance...

...Festus Efosa Efosa INTRODUCTION To run a successful business, the company has to maintain the quality of its products and services as well as the productivity of the business. At the same time, health and safety of its employees are also very essential. The way a company does things is dependent on its management system. Health and safety forms an integral part of any business and holds equal importance as production, marketing, and quality, etc. In fact, health and safety have an impact on these functions, so it should be managed along with these functions.
