...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eat Your Heart Out | Paper Magazine Does a Super (Duper) Market Culture, Food By JANE HERMANJuly 13, 2012, 1:30 pm 2 Comments Paper Magazine's Super (Duper) Market Atisha Paulson Brucie Atisha Paulson Scribe Winery Atisha Paulson 123Loading “I’m crying. And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...Motivation and Teams Case Study Case One: Two Men and a Lot of Trucks The first theory is I think plays in this study are the expectancy theory. I think this because her children believed in the hard work they performed would lead to rewards. This led them to buy a franchise of their own. Equity theory is also found in this case study due to the rewards that each child got due to their mother owning the business and rewarding them to work for her. Ms. Sheets also plays a role in the expectancy theory. She did believe that if she worked hard her business would succeed more than she would have expected. Ms. Sheets opened a Stick Men University that was used to train franchisees and movers how to properly move items and customer service. Case Two: Siemen’s New Boss The theory this case study shows is expectancy theory. I feel that Mr. Kleinfield displayed the characteristics of this theory. He came to the business young and with new ideas that would save the company money and the employees their jobs. It appears that the plant was costing the business more money than they expected or wanted to continue paying. Mr. Kleinfield came to the location and had to convince the employees to change their normal hours days and hours. He eventually convinced the employees to do as he asked which in time reduce production time and costs, which saved their jobs. He was open to questions by anyone in the plant, even the employee reps. He was there to show them that he was...

...TOPIC: Attrition in organizations Group 7: Rahul Kumar Gupta: 12P157 Rajesh Choudhary: 12P158 Rajiv Gupta: 12P159 Rakshit Sharma: 12P160 Ravi Goel: 12P161 Ravi Kant Singla: 12P162 Attrition The reduction in staff and employees in a company through normal means, such as retirement and resignation is called attrition. Attrition leads to loss of key employees who have thorough knowledge of the company and its practices. Appointing new employees in place of old involves cost of recruiting and training them. Experience in a field is very important for better performance. New employees lack this and this might lead to some pitfalls during their work. If there is high attrition, it also results in a negative impact on new employees about the work...

...Whenever the term motivational speaker is introduced to a conversation, I instantaneously imagine an overly enthusiastic man, preparing to deliver the same watered-down, cookie cutter speech that has roamed the halls of every high school. Therefore, it was only natural for me to shrink back in fatigued anguish at the thought of having to endure the same torturous event in which I would be expected to appreciate with mock enticement. Mr. Christopher Taylor is a man of too many words and very little tolerance for ignorance. Walking into the room, the weight of his presence was awakening. Something about the way my older peers glanced at him with the up most respect sent a trigger alerting me to the significance of him. Although he sat patiently through his detailed introduction, his eyes focused around the room, seemingly categorizing each student into a database, well organized through years of practice. Light applause trailed him as he took a firm stance in the front of the ballroom. Deceptively, he began with generalized questions about how people perceive each other, trivial knowledge that determined little, other than the common sense of his audience. After a series of varyingly mediocre topics, Mr. Taylor quieted down and pondered to himself for a second, gaining his thoughts and deciding how best to approach the next topic, “How many of you are pre-med students?” he asked inquisitively. I was one of many of the proud students who raised their hands. Nodding in acceptance...

...Sarah Rose Management Skills Development: MGT 585-02W Fall 2013 Case Analysis Does this milkshake taste funny? George Steins’ Ethical Dilemma * Discuss all of the reasons why you believe George might act unethically and remove the filters, allowing the maggots to remain in the mix. The first reason George might act unethically is due to Social Learning Theory. “Analysis revealed that perceived learning opportunities were shaped, enabled, and constrained by a variety of social, cultural, structural, and process-related imperatives. This was manifested through two learning systems: (1) a formal learning system directly managed by the organization and (2) an informal system that was fostered through strong social networks and driven by the organizational culture. From this investigation, we posit a social theory of learning, which encompasses sharing knowledge and experience through social interaction” (O’Toole, 2011). This is an article for developing learned systems by the Australian Army in their ‘fighting for knowledge’ campaign to understand learned systems in a military setting. Using a focus group of over 150 armed personnel to understand some of the cultural and social systems enforced. Social theory is a theory that states that we learn through observation and our direct experiences with others (Robbins. 2013). The social learning theory is enacted by both formal learning systems, decreed through management, and informal social networks. In the case George is...

...Business Plan Part 1: Preparation Describe an original idea for a product or service you think you can develop and sell. A service that I think I can sell would be motivational speaking. I can also develop and sell books. The most inspiring and successful motivation speakers are those with a personal story of success that can be passed on to audiences (Marsden, ehow.com). I know this because I am currently doing speeches now and will eventually author books. I choose this path because I have always been a talker. Every since a child, I have loved to speak in front of crowds. I would love to read the Sunday school minutes. I was then introduced to Toastmasters International Speaking Club and was advised of how well of a speaker I am. I did not believe it at first. I then begin to see it because people demanded me to speak so they could hear me. I decided I could make this a career, so I started speaking. Now I am four speeches away from having my Advanced Communicator Silver with Toastmasters. Once it is obtained, I will only have one more level to reach out of five, which is the Advanced Communicator Gold. I am also working on becoming an accredited speaker through Toastmaster. Once I become an accredited speaker, I will be able to charge for my speeches versus accepting whatever donations are provided. Once my speaking career takes off, I will venture off into authoring books. I think I can sell books because I am an excellent speaker and people will...

...each point of motivational interviewing, why it was used, and whether or not it was successful. What was done well in this interview, and why? What would you have done differently, and why? Of the theories we have learned in this unit, which theory stands out in this interview? Where and how? “A client-centered and empathetic counseling style is one fundamental and defining characteristic of motivational interviewing. We regard the therapeutic skill of reflective listening or accurate empathy ... to be the foundation on which skillfulness in motivational interviewing is built ... Through skillful reflective listening, the counselor seeks to understand the client’s feelings and perspectives without judging, criticizing, or blaming ... The crucial attitude is a respectful listening to the person with a desire to understand his or her perspective” (Miller & Rollnick, 2002, p. 37) In this case, the Motivational interviewing refers to an interpersonal counseling or communication style rather than a specific therapy or set of techniques (Rollnick & Miller, 1995). This style is evident in the process of MET (Motivational Enhancement Therapy). The focus of this particular interview was on helping the client to overcome reluctance or ambivalence on his own, while allowing him to make positive changes in his approach to anger management. The therapy did not assume that the client wanted to change, but lead the client to own their need for change. The motivational interviewing assumed...

...Staff surveys are usually very helpful in establishing whether staff in your company are motivated and therefore performing to best effect. Aside from the information that questionnaires reveal, the process of involving and consulting with staff is hugely beneficial and motivational in its own right, (see the 'Hawthorne Effect'). Whilst your survey will be unique to your company, your staff issues, your industry and culture, some useful generic guidelines apply to most situations. Although not exhaustive, the following ten points may help you cover the relevant subject areas and help towards establishing facts rather than making assumptions about motivation when designing your own questionnaires on employee motivation. ten tips for questionnaires on employee motivation 1. What is the 'primary aim' of your company? Your employees may be more motivated if they understand the primary aim of your business. Ask questions to establish how clear they are about your company's principles, priorities and mission. 2. What obstacles stop employees performing to best effect? Questionnaires on employee motivation should include questions about what employees are tolerating in their work and home lives. The company can eliminate practices that zap motivation. 3. What really motivates your staff? It is often assumed that all people are motivated by the same things. Actually we are motivated by a whole range of factors. Include questions to elicit what really motivates...

...Motivation Theories and Motivational Plan Essay Cristie M. Roach Grand Canyon University: EDA575 March 29, 2014 Motivation Theories and Plans within an Organization In his book Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World, motivation guru Zig Ziglar said, “Of course motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis” (Goodreads, 2014). Motivation is the ability to get a person to commit to and actively participate in reaching the agreed upon goals. Motivation is a never-ending, daily process that takes time and careful thought. Motivation requires different strategies to produce different result at different times. There is “no single strategy that can produce guaranteed favorable results all the time” (Halepota, 2005). One of the difficulties in motivating a group of people is that they are individuals that often react differently to the same kind of change or action. Managers can work hard at creating a positive motivational atmosphere with the goal to achieve greater productivity, but they will probably not motivate everyone, because everyone is motivated by different things (Halepota, 2005). Motivational Theories Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a psychological theory that helps to understand human behavior and to select motivational strategies appropriate to each individual within the group. Understanding this theory helps to differentiate workers and their needs. Recognizing that several people within...

...well written message about relying on one’s self and not conforming, it allows me to relate it to my own thoughts for a better understanding of the material. The two passages that spoke to me the most were found on pages 208 and 213 of our text. They spoke of doing your best and not listening to those who seem to know more and yet know nothing based on my interpretation. The quote found in the passage on page 208 is the one I will go into more detail with. On page 208 of the text one of the quotes mentioned were “But do your work, and I shall know you. Do you work, and you shall reinforce yourself.” (Pearson Education Company). This quote spoke to me because of the fact I believe that education and hard work is a way to express yourself and reinforce yourself to your employer or to others in your peer group. One of the things I judge myself by is how much I work to improve myself and my situation for the better. In regards to the image that I got when I read this quote, it was of someone working their way up to better themselves and to be acknowledge by their peers. I felt it was a motivational essay with a very serious, urgent and yet light tone that pulls the reader in so that its message is delivered. He goes on to say that “For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.” (Pearson Education Company). This statement I believe goes together with the inspiring statement I mentioned because sometimes a good work ethic involves doing something different...

...Motivational Stratigies 1) Choose three strategies from the proposed framework for motivational strategies. Explain them in your own words and relate them to your practice teaching experience. A. Creating the basic motivational conditions which involve setting the scene for the use of motivational strategies. Motivational strategies cannot work in a vacuum. There are certain preconditions to be met before any attempts to generate motivation can be effective. Some of these conditions are the following: * Appropriate teacher behavior and good teacher-student relationship. * A pleasant and supportive classroom atmosphere. * A cohesive learner group being unique by appropriate group norms. B. Maintaining and protecting motivation which corresponds to the actional phase. Unless motivation is sustained and protected when action has commenced, the natural tendency to get tired or bored of the task and succumb to any attractive distractions will result in demotivation. Therefore, there should be a motivational repertoire including several motivation maintenance strategies: increasing the learners' self-confidence and creating learner self-aware of making choices (autonomy). C. Encouraging positive self-evaluation, which corresponds to the postactional phase By employing appropriate strategies, the latter can help learners to evaluate themselves in a positive way, encouraging them to take credit and responsibility for their advances. Strategies...
