...It was Tuesday morning and I was slouching on the bus seat thinking, last stop is up next, then I have to do that science test. “Ugh!” I tried to groan quietly. Just the thought of the test made me want to hit my head against the seat in front of me. I hadn't gotten to study that night because my siblings had soccer practice. I, Sophia Schans, is the only one of my siblings who does not have any sports to go to, so I have to go and cheer my siblings on all the time. When the bus reached the last stop, I thought, last stop! Finally, now I can get that science test over with! A girl stepped onto the bus that i’ve seen around before, but never really talked to. She looked around the bus for seats, but none were open, so she started coming...

...going ecologically green is indeed beneficial and appropriate, the process and procedure of becoming green is anything but easy. Firstly, turning green is largely not a legal requirement, but a voluntary process. Thus, even though LEED (which is by far the more publicly known green certification standard) governs the certification of the green management effort, it is not a compulsory condition for practitioners to go green. Secondly, even with the encouragement of incentives to comply, practitioners are skeptical in becoming green due to: (a) a lack of true understanding of the benefit of ecologically friendly procedures (the practice of profits versus the theory of benefits); (b) lack of short term gain in life cycle costing (practitioners want instant incentives); and (c) mostly, because it is not a legal requirement for the vast majority of municipalities. Keywords: Green management, green business practices, barriers toward green management, encouragement & incentives for green management, LEED Certification. RESUMEN La gestión ambiental sostenible y el tornarse ecológico no es tan claro ni factible como lo pregona la prensa. Mientras que volverse ecológicamente “verde” es sin duda beneficioso y apropiado, el proceso y el procedimiento de hacerlo es todo menos fácil. En primer lugar, transformarse ecológicamente eficiente no es un requerimiento legal, sino un proceso voluntario. Entonces, mientras la certificación LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, que es con...

...Operation in the Philippines 2 I. Introduction Just last month, the country experienced the strongest typhoon to hit the Earth. No amount of preparation is enough to survive such wrath from Mother Nature. Before Yolanda hit the Philippines, a lot of typhoons passed the country. These typhoons left behind destructed homes and dead people as a result severe flooding brought about by non-segregation and throwing of trash anywhere. Illegal logging also contributed to flash floods. All these are reasons why we should start being concerned not only for the businesses we are part of but also its neighbouring communities. Sustainability should be the one goal of all businesses. It is a prerequisite for economic growth and poverty reduction in Asia and the Pacific. The market has shown an increase of concern for sustainability and its impact to the environment and because of this, companies have created new processes economically, socially and more importantly environmentally. This study aims to look at the optimism of Philippine businesses on the adaptation of cleaner operations for sustainable development. A lot of environmental laws has been passed the last few years both from the Philippine Constitution, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the National Water Resources Board – Clean Air Act, National Water & Air Pollution Control Commission Act, Philippine Environment Code, Philippine Environmental Policy, etc. This study will also try to look at the willingness...

...Mexico Exploring Justice, Fairness and Organizational sustainability in the international environment: The case of 2010 Gulf of Mexico Abstract This study leverages insights from the literature of organizational sustainability, stakeholder theory as well as the notion of organizational justice and fairness to help answer the question as to how companies should morally prioritize corporate social responsibility, corporate accountability and stakeholder claims. In this paper, I also utilized the concept of corporate social responsibility as well as the triple bottom line in order to form my own model of sustainability. This model is used to analyze the case of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spills which was claimed as the responsibility of British Petroleum. I also addressed the strong relationship between organizational justice and organization sustainability with the conclusion that by enhancing organizational justice and fairness, organizations will be able to obtain its sustainable development in the long terms.

...one or more characteristics of a leader or something that a leader does such as providing a vision, getting things done through people or challenging the status quo. Those aren’t really definitions, only descriptions of what a leader might be doing. What a particular leader is doing does not provide us an understanding of what leadership is, only of what that leader believes is appropriate to do in order to lead. So, how should we define "leadership"? Leadership is the act of transmitting value standards to employees which most of them then follow/use in the performance of their work. Thus we say that they have been "led" in the direction of those standards. I like to say that leadership is one side of the coin called values, the other side being followership. In contemplating value standards, I found it useful to think of a range or spectrum of standards from –10 to +10 for each value such as from total dishonesty to total honesty, from indolence to industriousness, arrogance to humility, dirty to clean, disorganized to neat, discourteous to courtesy, disrespect to respect, uncaring to caring, ignorant to knowledgeable and so on for all values. Leadership skills are based on leadership behaviour. Skills alone do not make leaders - style and behaviour do. If you are interested in leadership training and development - start with leadership behaviour. The growing awareness and demand for idealist principles in leadership are increasing the emphasis (in terms...

...AORN, & AACN present: Why Safety Tools and Checklists Aren’t Enough to Save Lives David Maxfield, Joseph Grenny, Ramón Lavandero, and Linda Groah Silence Kills was conducted immediately before AACN’s national standards for healthy work environments were released10. It identified seven concerns that often go undiscussed and contribute to avoidable medical errors. It linked the ability of health professionals to discuss emotionally and politically risky topics in a healthcare setting to key results like patient safety, quality of care, and nursing turnover, among others. The Silent Treatment shows how nurses’ failure to speak up when risks are known undermines the effectiveness of current safety tools. It then focuses on three specific concerns that often result in a decision to not speak up: dangerous shortcuts, incompetence, and disrespect. The Silent Treatment tracks the frequency and impact of these communication breakdowns, then uses a blend of quantitative and qualitative data to determine actions that individuals and organizations can take to resolve avoidable breakdowns. Imagine you are a nurse who has been given a set of new safety tools that warns you whenever your patients are in danger. That would be powerful, life-saving information, right? But what if nobody listened to you or heeded your warnings? This kind of breakdown is happening in hospitals every day. The quote below is one of 681 collected in the course of this research. “I think nearly every day we...
