...Lily I need to do something. I need somebody’s help. This situation confuses, baffles, and even worries me. I have never seen this dog before. I quickly run to my mom to assess the situation. It feels hard to believe that eleven years flew by since the first day that I saw my little fluffy bundle of joy. My little poodle attained the name of Lily. I never imagined I would become as close to Lily as I did. One day, she casually walked into my backyard. I did not have a clue what to do, but eventually I carefully approached her. She was the most polite dog I have ever met. We played all day, and soon became best friends. But, of course we had to find her rightful owners. In a short time, we found the owners and returned her home. However, Lily never ceased to miss a day of showing up at my door. Before long, the owners offered us to keep her. Lily apparently did not want to be with these owners. Obviously we accepted this offer, and this became the happiest day of my life. On the other hand, I knew that good things come to an end, and situations do not end the way we would like. Overcoming a loss is extremely difficult, but I realized that experiencing a death has made me a stronger person and who I am today. Now eleven years have past since the day Lily became mine, and I can still remember that day like it happened yesterday. Lily was an amazing dog and I would not have traded her for anything. I loved her will all of my heart. Unfortunately, during the...

The skills you need to run a business; Leadership skills; are needed to run businesses to help people know what they are doing. They will motivate their team to perform well to meet the overall company objectives. These leaders will have deadlines for their objectives and will not fail to meet the deadlines. Strategic business planning skills; most business follows a plan even if it's not written down in a document. Although developing and implementing strategic change is a skill all business owners need. Undertaking a strategic audit and writing a business plan is the first step in this discipline. Marketing Skills; marketing is a key skill to have and buy delivering what people want to buy is an obvious requirement to running a business but not many people truly understand how to market a business correctly.

The skills required in sales are really to understand the selling process - from initial contact to completing the sale. Good sales people rarely leave a meeting without an order or at least a commitment...

...1. What major stressor do you currently face? What creates anxiety or discomfort for you? (For example, “I have too much to do.”) Currently, the major stressor that I currently face is definitely time related. I feel like there is too much things that I have to do right now. I have part time job, and I am full time student. This quarter I take 3 classes, such as BBUS 470, BBUS 330, and BBUS 473. I feel all three classes are really heavy, and I feel very stressful somehow. 2. What are the major attributes or components of the situation? Divide the major problem into smaller parts or sub problems. I have three classes this quarter, and all of three have team projects. Also, every week has to due with assignments, and readings, and writings. I need to read case studies. I need to do my part in my groups. 3. What are the subcomponents of each of those subproblems? Divide them into yet smaller parts. * For class 470 (Capstone class): I need to finish for reading case study before every Tuesday and Thursday I need to read case study that is assigned for my group also, and I need to contribute for team write-up for that day too.

...In the beginning, when I started here I did well more than I expected because there were more expectations here for moving on into a career and in life, that is quite motivating to push myself to be able to work harder, however, some of my choices did not help me work smarter. It seems strange because most people would try to motivate themselves to be a better student after receiving praise for doing well academically, but what I did not like was that I didn’t even think carefully about how many classes can I take also what can I get help with since there are so many resources there yet I saw an unhealthy pattern throughout my semesters here. Never did I know I was anxious some days it is manageable and other days my anxiety felt like an emotional explosion, but when my feelings of feeling alone and how no one cares about me got out of hand, it was to the point where I did not want to go classes anymore,it felt like a routine that was really boring me, so I ended up getting help and seeking a counselor but it didn’t look like she could help me here since she isn’t a Christian counselor and I needed that connection to be able to get over my anxiety, I reached out to a Christian counselor instead. Knowing that my anxiety is an issue, I met with my doctor and she helped me realize that yes, my concern is real and...

...Days before departure to the UK, everything seems wonderful and bright. I was looking forward to it and cannot wait to have a glance on the “empire on which the sun never sets”. I am always someone who desperately looking for freedom and exploring new things as my motto is that the human’s life was never too long and ought to be utilized by exploring and changing consistently. Therefore, I thought that changing and adapting in a new environment was never a problem to me. The first week that I have arrived to UK, things do not happened that how I expected. The invasion of loneliness, homesick and culture shocked were continually gusting my mind, I was surprised to experience these as a “foreign element” and trying to revise the “status quo”. (Satir et al,1991) As the “foreign element” arose, a period of “chaos” then ensues. Thoughts in my deep were crumbling and I really cannot belief that I was so unadaptable at time encountering a new environment that I once yearned. I have got freedom that I never had but I am not happy with it. However, a while later my conscious was told that it is worthless to struggle. I began to wonder that there probably has a way out and I believe that this is the “transforming idea” stage which I am approaching to terms with the reality of the situation and experiencing acknowledgement and acceptance. (Kubler-ross model) I have seen the light, or at least a glimmer of hope. But it still takes time to ease my feelings and try to put myself together...

...the worst I would have to say that I am at a two. For me that means I have no clue what that even means any more now that I have children. I have three children, go to school and work two jobs. Don’t get me wrong I would love to be able to only do one thing at a time but it seems to be impossible with what all I have to deal with and do in a days’ time. With that being said if I ever wanted to do one thing at a time I would have to learn how to do it all over again and get out of the mindset that I need to get everything done and get it done right away. I am willing to try to learn it all over again but chances are I will have to practice when the kids are not home so I do not get distracted. The other thing is I need to not watch tv when I am doing other tasks or even doing homework. This would be the biggest problem for me is always having the tv on where ever I am at. * Switching between tasks takes time even if we are not aware that it does and what our minds are required to do (page 75). It also says in some cases multitasking can be very dangerous (page 76). Chances are you can and will get more done and be safer if you just focus on one task at a time (page 76). It says in the book it would be a very good skill for me to learn if I have small children (page 76) which I do have one small child. She is a one year old. Doing one thing at a time is a good start on working to cut down your stress level (page 77). * When it comes to doing one thing at a time I am not very...

...Negotiation Summary/Analysis Form 1. The Problem: What is the problem that must be solved in this negotiation? The problem in this negotiation is to sell the service station at a competitive price to Texoil Company in order to realize a dream. 2. Negotiation goals and decision makers: a. What was your specific, high expectation in this negotiation? My high expectation in this negotiation was to get more than $500,000 plus employment after coming back from the trip. What was your BATNA? I decided that my BATNA was to receive $488,000 to break even. exoil Case Strategy and Goals: After reading the situation that I, as the station manager, was in I developed two motivating factors. First, there was the tangible factor of receiving enough money to realize my dream. Second, there was the motivation to distance myself and my wife from the life that had drained our physical and emotional health. I realized at that moment that these two motivations were not necessarily compatible with each other, and that I was going to be forced to decide the relevant importance of each somewhere in the negotiation. Before I even started the negotiation I determined that I must receive the money that I needed, which turned out to be a big mistake that tunneled my vision onto the final outcome. I inadvertently then limited myself to two possible outcomes: 1) sell for more than $590K; or 2) don’t sell and wait for another offer. I determined that receiving the money was a more...

...Chapter 2 What is your self orientation? Before doing this survey I believe I a balanced x and y manager. I try to see the good in every employee and believe people have their own way of doing things. Sometimes you need to handle certain employees different ways to get them to work properly and correctly in a timely manner. After doing the survey I was not very surprised it gave me a score inbetween both x and y of a 22 and 23. I believe that was because I am a very understanding person i try to see the best way in satisfying employees as well as customers. This will show me how to deal with customers and my employees from here on. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 survey was about morals and ethical actions. As a person I believe for every action there is a opposite reaction. With the choices you make you need to ensure that they are morally and ethically right for people and or a company. If you hurt a person with a decision that should not be done. After doing the survey I believe it came out to what I expected. I am a understanding person I try to do the best for other people and the company. Sometimes I will make poor judgement calls but over all as a person and employee I try to think of my actions and make the right decision for both parties. Chapter 4 The chapter 4 assessment is going to cover the globe aspects. I believe strongly in having set guidelines and keeping out future generation in check.

...assessments, I was able to confirm what I already knew, but did gain some new insight into myself and why I am the way that I am, and that my personality can be great in some situations and very hard in other situations for people to deal with. I’m going to break it down according to the assignment assessment. 1.) What did the assessments tell me about myself? Attitude? Work? Behavior? Personality? Perception? Attitude: I’m sensible, the backbone of any group, and believe that work comes before play. This is truly me!! I’m the one that goes in early to work and stays late to make sure that things get done, and are done on time. People know that they can depend on me. I’m the person with sticky notes on my desk and computer, so that I remember that I need to do this at a certain time, or remind my boss of a particular appointment. They know they can count on me. Work: I’m a planner, well organized, and dependable. This too, fits me like a shoe! I’m the one that two weeks before a mass mailing will be ordering in extra labels, tape, and updating mailing lists. I like to have my envelopes ready, so that all I have to do is insert and tape. I look ahead and what is coming down the road and plan my work and time accordingly. Behavior: I learned that I’m punctual, responsible, energetic, ambitious, and I have a strong sense of right and wrong. This is me to a T! I hate it when people walk into work late, or show-up for a meeting late. I still believe...

...motivate those around them. There may be organisational constraints, which can lead to de-motivation. Does the person have the correct resources to do the job? The individual may need training to gain further skills or knowledge. They may be over-stretched and suffering from stress. Perception can also affect our judgement of another person’s level of motivation. The individual may be competent, but acting in ways that appear incongruent with the culture of the organisation and therefore the individual seems to lack competence or motivation. On a more personal level, the individual may not appear motivated to us, because they may lack the ability to perform at our level, or their style, or manner, may be quite different from ours. Putting broader environmental issues to one side, there are two major theories about motivation. The first is process analysis. This contends that energy will be expended if people expect to be rewarded and if they value the reward they are to receive. Hence, telling me that I will receive performance related pay may motivate me if (a) I value money as a reward and (b) I believe that there is a direct link between my performance and the money I might receive. There are at least three potential breakdowns in this process. I see that my efforts do not result in good performance (eg because I lack the skills, ability, back-up to do the job); My good...

The parents visit at the time the child is sleeping and complains to the director about this matter: Recognition of the dilemma: I chose the Ethical dilemma 1, I will start with my role as a parent. As a parent, I was really annoyed because your centre hasn’t provided the services that I expect. I have made it clear what services I expect so you should follow the instructions what I have given. Mayah doesn’t get enough sleep due to Mayah being awake at night if she has had a nap during the day. As a result, the staff member broke the sleep routine which I am trying so hard to make for her.

Under the Education & Care Services National Regulations (the National Regulations), (2012). Regulation 81: The approved provider of an education and care service must take reasonable steps to ensure that the needs for sleep and rest of children being educated and cared for by the service are met, having regard to the ages, development stages and individual needs of the children.

...Leadership I have played football my whole life so I have been around a lot of leadership and developed some of my own leadership skills. I have always felt like I was a pretty good leader, but after this semester I have greatly improved on many of my leadership skills. Although I still have some weaknesses when it comes to leadership, this semester has helped me learn a lot about myself as a leader and as a person. Over the semester I learned that I have much more leadership potential than I thought. Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs them in a way that makes the unit more cohesive and coherent. Obviously, leadership can be learned but, the skills and knowledge processed by a leader can be influenced by their traits such as beliefs, ethics, and character. Before this semester I felt that I possessed many of the traits that a good leader would need to have. I am a very motivated person and I pride myself on my beliefs. Throughout the semester I learned how important it is to use my motivation to motivate others and to inspire them to become the best they can be at whatever it is they are doing. In my case, most of the time I am leading on the football field. I am constantly pushing my teammates to their limits and helping them achieve, not only their individual goals but, the goals of our team. I also learned that while it is important to understand my traits for being a good leader, I need to understand...
