...1. Outline the major benefits of implementing a succession management process. Succession management programs are used to identify individual employees who have the skill and ability to assume fundamental roles within the employing organization and prepare them for positions if and when they become available, do to uncontrollable situations (1). Otherwise a succession management program can ensure a smooth transition of power under normal circumstances (4). A succession management program can identify and replace a vital member of an organization quickly and effectively. Without a succession management program in effect, it can take anywhere between 6 months to 2 years to replace a key employee and therefor decrease the operating performance of the company producing a negative effect on the organization for years following the replacement. Here are a few reasons why an organization should ensure they have a succession management program in effect as outlined in course text (2): 1. Provide increased opportunities for high-potential workers. 2. Identify replacement needs as a means of targeting necessary training, employee education, and employee development. 3. Increase the talent pool of promotable employees. 4. Contribute to implementing the organization’s strategic business plans. 5. Help individuals realize their career plans within the organization. 6. Tap the potential for intellectual capital in the organization. 7. Encourage...

...CASE STUDY Succession Management at General Electric# General Electric (GE) is widely recognized and respected for its leadership talent and its succession management system. One of the best examples of succession management is how GE’s former CEO, Jack Welch, shaped and elevated the company’s philosophy, practice, and reputation for developing leaders. In a 1991 speech, Welch stated, “From now on, choosing my successor is the most important decision I’ll make.” GE’s commitment to developing leaders from within has yielded positive results for both the company’s employees and for GE. In fact, the program has been so successful that it’s been widely emulated by other global organizations. Measuring and developing talent lies at the forefront of GE’s business strategy discussions. GE’s operating system, referred to as its “learning culture in action,” entails year-round learning sessions in which leaders from GE and outside companies share best practices with one another and generate ideas for new practices. Harry Elsinga, manager of executive development at GE, notes, “We really have a tight organization around how we combine our leadership meetings and how we approach our business. We have a constant cycle going on throughout the year where we talk about business and people at the same time. How do we develop talent in those businesses, how do we make sure that we have the right people to open a particular plant or to do an acquisition, etc.? Those discussions always...

...The British Isles is an example of a Lithosere succession, in that it began as bare rock from glacial retreat. The plant succession started with the pioneer species which were algae and bacteria. Both began to broke down rock surface through weathering. Then lichens and mosses began growing in the area which helps with water retention and provides a base for soil. The next stage of primary succession is herbs/grasses/flowering plants/ferns. These add nutrients and organic matter to the ground which provided soil. Next, shrubs invaded and colonised the area. Shrubs dominate and shade out the sere below them. Small trees such as birch and willow were the following sere which invaded and colonised the area. They produced humus from leaf fall which provided nutrients for the soil through nutrient recycling and encouraged new growth of the sere. The last sere is the larger trees which are oak and ash which dominate the area and shade out smaller trees. This sere is the climax community in that it is stable and no further succession happens after. The climax community is the deciduous woodland biome we know today. The main characteristics include the location in which they are found, which is in temperate maritime climate such as the UK with four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The average temperature in the British Isles is 10oC which is the optimum temperature for a temperate deciduous woodland and rainfall is between 30 and 60 inches. Deciduous trees are physically...

...Emmanuel Udeh Dr. Draman March 26, 2015 Strategic Management Understanding the Foundation George Perkins Marsh (March 15, 1801 – July 23, 1882), an American diplomat and philologist, is considered by some to be America's first environmentalist and the creator of the sustainability concept. His Ideals and concepts were beyond that of the time he lived in. He believed that the earth was a system that had a perfect compensation process. This is system could handle any kind of change or natural disruption, but when man began to tamper with the earth it became apparent that the earth compensation process could not handle the destructive nature of humans. Marsh strongly suggested that if nature, before man was created, was left undisrupted changed or transformed, it would never change. The only thing that would change the world is natural disasters for example, tornados, earth quakes, floods, etc. Even after the rare cases of these disasters the system that has been noted to be perfect would reset itself back to its original state. Marsh explained that before the British colonization, North America, geographically was balanced and had a system of perfection. The soil or ground has been perfectly separated by frost, chemicals, gravity, and flow of water, and or deposits which created a perfect top soil so that trees and plantation could grow back immediately. When Indians and Europeans were at war they began to burn down the trees and plantation, but because the destruction...

...With reference to one plagioclimax that you have studied, assess the impact of human activity on plant succession. (10 marks) Plant succession is the process by which one plant community replaces another over time. Human activity can have an impact on the succession of plants in a number of ways these are known as arresting factors. A plagioclimax community is a habitat in which the impact of humans has subsequently meant that the ecosystem has been prevented from developing further. The plagioclimax with which I will give reference in this essay is heather moorland. It must be noted that much of the present vegetation in the UK is a plagioclimax as a result of clearance. Heather moorland provides a choice example of a plagioclimax in the UK. The areas where heather moorland is most prominent are the North York Moors, the Pennines and Eastern Scotland. Much of the land where Heather moorland now exists was once covered by deciduous woodland, the UK’s climatic climax, yet humans have had a critical impact on the way in which heather moorland has manifested itself in these areas. One must acknowledge that heather had featured in these areas prior to the suspension of succession. Humans removed deciduous woodland in these areas to make way for farmland as a result of the need to increase food production. By chopping down vast swathes of deciduous woodland, the soil in these areas began to deteriorate without the much needed nutrients associated with the deciduous woodland biome...

...World Religion Report Your Name here HUM/130 University of Phoenix The Catholic Church has become so recognizable that there have been movies made about it. Some of the movies would include scandals that were about priest themselves or about the church hiding some secretive group that had the power to control governments. Some of the stories that have been told, included Bishops and or Cardinals that were the true governing entities over Kings in the times of old. Some of these stories talked about demonic possessions' that only the Catholic church could exorcise. Whatever the story or movie, the Catholic church has influenced millions. It is also known that the Catholic church owns many valuable items such as, ancient texts, various artwork, a library that can not be rivaled, and arguably, loads of money. Even with the "Hollywood fame" and valuables that the Catholic church may have, the Catholic religion has been rocked by scandals and persecution. Nonetheless, the church has stood their ground and continues to strive and its followers, still hold their faith to the church as sacred as ever. For the first thousand years of Christianity there was no Roman Catholicism (Roman Catholicism, religionfacts.com). There was no other denomination at that time to distinguish Roman Catholicism from other denominations. If you were Christian, you were considered catholic. Catholic which means "universal", meant that if you were Christian...

...Royal Bodies "Royal Bodies" is a speech by Hilary Mantel, an award winning and bestselling English writer. Hilary Mantel, born in 1952, is particularly famous for her historical novels. On February 21 2013, at a book lecture at the British Museum, she held a speech, in which she commented on the British monarchy. Hilary Mantel starts her speech by telling how she, last summer, was asked to name a famous person and choose a book to give them. She chose Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, "a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung". This is a good way to start the speech because Hilary Mantel has now introduced her real purpose with the speech: to discuss the effect of monarchy. Hilary tells how she at a book trade event at Buckingham Palace met the queen. She was surprised how people acted around the queen, as if the queen was made out of glass. The following quote shows how the queen acted when Hilary looked at her: "... Her Majesty turned and looked back at me, as is she had been jabbed in the shoulder and for a split second her face expressed not anger but hurt bewilderment". After this quote Hilary explains her own feelings under this meeting with the queen: "And I felt sorry then. I wanted to apologise. I wanted to say: it's nothing, it's monarchy I'm staring at". Right here, in these two quotes, Hilary uses pathos, because she appeals to the audience's emotions. This makes you feel sorry for the queen. Hilary Mantel uses pathos as a rhetorical device several times...

...Early October 2015, in Rome, every news station in the country picked up on the story of Charamsa, a gay priest who announced his homosexuality in the Italian Corriere della Sera newspaper. Along with announcing his homosexuality, he also admitted to having a partner. Charamsa was then told he will no longer be able to carry out his priesthood and duties at the Vatican (Borghese, 2015). On the eve of a major three-week assembly with the Synod of Bishops, an assembly of the clergy and sometimes also the laity in a diocese or other division of a particular church, Charamsa came out with the hopes of changing the Church’s stance on homosexuality. The timing of the announcement was intended to put the topic before the Synod of Bishops (Borghese, 2015), being that homosexuality has been a hot-button issue which has drawn the attention of the bishops as well as the media in the recent past. Animated by the spirit of Christ, this sacred Synod is fully aware that the desired renewal of the whole Church depends to a great extent on the ministry of its priests (1965). With the reliance of their morality, the Bishops referred back to the Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’ They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved (Ratzinger& Amato). Following his dissolution of his post and priesthood, Charamsa...

...What were the criticisms that the humanists made of the Catholic Church? The Catholic Church faced many criticisms from the humanists; the humanists were a group of intellectuals who supported the reform of the church, but did not propose new policies but rather a change to improve he intellectual and moral standards of the clergy. Despite affecting the church and the faith in the church there was not much impact on the ordinary people they were not interested in the corruption within the church providing it I did not affect their everyday worship. Their criticisms affected not only the church but also the followers of the religion, the impact on how it was preached and practised. One of the key criticisms were indulgences, these were pieces of paper signed by the people that could be purchased by the laity, this meant the recipient of the sin was cleansed an often saved their souls. However there was opposition against them as he believed the faith was the only true saviour of their souls. While these were helpful toward the church in the sense that there was an increase popularity of the catholic faith and people saw an escape route to a way to amend their mistakes, it had major negative effects on the church, from the humanists c criticisms, it meant many people saw corruption and truly religious people would have the same views as martin Luther, that only faith could ensure salvation and that it could not be achieved through Christians own effort. This meant that there...

...GENETIC ENHANCEMENT: CUSTOM KIDS AND CHIMERAS By Marilyn E. Coors, Ph.D. I am going to analyze Dr. Coors paper “GENETIC ENHANCEMENT: CUSTOM KIDS AND CHIMERAS” in a attempt to identify fallacies and mistaken assumptions, while checking for accuracy of factual claims and determining if there is enough evidence on Dr. Coors’s claim to support her conclusion. Dr. Coors’ conclusion, which can be located at the paper’s final paragraph on the last sentence, “Our impending power to alter our genetic heritage, coupled with a limited ability to predict the consequences of those alterations, cries out for a cautious and humble approach” is clearly a behavioral conclusion, which attempts to tell us how to feel, or which moral values to embrace in reference to genetic enhancement. In other words, Dr. Coors’ conclusion prescribes that “genetic enhancement should be approached with caution and reservation.” Now that we have identified the conclusion we can try to identify the Minor Premise report, which is the factual claim Dr. Coors is using to justify why we should approach genetic enhancement with caution and reservation. Dr. Coors states this Minor Premise at the middle of her final paragraph: “For these reasons genetic enhancement of human embryos is immoral under Catholic teaching.” Accordingly, we can frame the conclusion and the minor premise of Dr. Coors’ paper as follows: Minor Premise report: Genetic enhancement of human embryos is immoral under Catholic teaching...
