...solve every other issue contained in this branch. I have solved several issues like this in others branches with much success and will do the same for Roanoke. The biggest issue to be resolved is employee morale as this directly affects every other issue discovered. By accepting my proposal, I will get this branch back on track and gain new clients to help grow the business. Background I conducted a one week field investigation to locate all issues that have arisen in this branch. If the low employee morale is not contained, all over issues will never be resolved. This issue is in dire need of being resolved. I used several techniques to uncover all issues in this branch. The main three consist of low employee morale, poor work quality and little communication between departments of this branch. Severe turnover rate is the cause of these problems but they were started by lack of executive involvement in the work process. When projects began coming back from the client and had to be redone, employee morale started to drop. During the investigation I discovered that 80% of employees have never been praised for good work. I also discovered that 30% have debated on finding a new job due to current conditions in Roanoke. I determined these findings by conducting surveys and one on one interviews. Below is a list of goals that I plan to achieve through the stages of my plan. * Relearn Phase is to help employees relearn their job and work in teams * Branch executive phase...

...Classroom and Behavior Management Plan Dr. Renee Murley Learning in the Urban Environment ICL 7709 July 31, 2009 Rules and Procedures On the first day of class, the students and I will have a conversation about my expectations and the students’ expectations for the classroom. From these expectations, together, we will create a set of guidelines for conduct in the classroom. We will also discuss common occurrences in the classroom such as late arrival, preparation for class, etc., and how they should be handled. From this class forum, we will derive the rules and procedures that will govern our classroom. Whereas, not all rules and procedures will be negotiable, we will discuss the meaning, rationality, and fairness of each rule, and also how these rules fit into the framework of the school’s guidelines. This is done with the idea in mind that if students have a part in creating the classroom rules and procedures that they will be more apt to follow them. These rules will be posted permanently in the classroom, on the teacher’s website, and also printed in written form so that the information may be given to the students, parents, and administrators. General guidelines for behaviors will be as follows: 1) Be respectful of the thoughts, feelings, personal space, and property of others and self. 2) Be on time and prepared for class. 3) Be in your desk and prepared to work when the bell rings. 4) Do ask permission before speaking or getting out of your...

...ESSAY I truly believe my calling in life is working with children; my degree is in Early Childhood Education. My employment now, is the position of a manager of a "Before and After Care program for one of my local school districts. I am praying for God's continual guidance in my desire position as a director o if it be His Will (God) that it will lead to a place of entrepreneurship. According to Towns writings, I am aware as I enter into my God giving position; the first important relationship is connecting to God by prayer. (Towns Elmer, CORE CHRISTIANITY: What is Christianity all about? 2007). I am fully aware in my calling/vocation of working with children before God, I am expected to behave in His Likeness which requires me to live and display His characteristics. The word of God in Ephesians 6:5-8 (MSG) tells me "Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters but always with an eye to obeying the real master, Christ. Don't just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christ's servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matters who happen to be giving orders, you are really serving God. Good work will get you good pay from the Master, regardless of whether you are slave or free. God is telling me that I am to be my best for His glory, and that my earthly employer, co-workers , assistants, or the children that he(God) has me working with should be able to wittiness his characteristics in me...

...number of achievements and jobs over his lifetime. The Pathway to Excellence program that I am apart of I had a chance to hear some words of wisdom from him. He spoke about many things including many pointers on how to be successful, but the three things that really caught my attention were “Make a Plan”, “Take the Shot”, and “Preparation and Opportunity = Success”. The Make a Plan point referred to knowing what you are doing, before you start something. You want to remain focused on what you want. On the road to success you are going to lose things and have to make sacrifices. You are going to have sacrifice going out, hanging out with friends, and doing some of the things that you really want to. You are going to have to make changes, but you cannot be afraid of them. You might have to relocate, and you cannot be afraid to lay it all on the line for your dreams of success. The second point that he made, that I found useful, and important was that of Taking the Shot. This means if you work hard, you can play hard. You cannot succeed if you do not put in the time and the work. You can not be the strongest man in the world if you don’t work out, you can’t be the fastest man in the world if you do not run, so you cannot be successful if you do not try to succeed. Taking the risk of failure is taking the shot you have to be willing to dedicate time and to accomplish it. You do not feel like you have accomplished anything if you do not work for it. If you...

During his 8th grade year he went through the reevaluation process and was found continued eligible under the same primary and secondary labels.

...about this book relative to what you know about entrepreneurship? When we think about entrepreneurship books, the first thing that usually comes to our mind is a technical book with instructions on what to do and not do in order to become a successful entrepreneur. What I found fascinating about this book is that the author, instead of giving a list of “must do´s”, is able to connect with the reader trough story-telling and personal experiences, and arise key questions that every entrepreneur must answer before and during a business development in order to be successful. In other words, The monk and The Riddle is no about “how” but about “why” and the importance of passion and vision when it comes to be an entrepreneur. Even if the book does give some specifics techniques that any entrepreneur can use to increase its chances of success, the central themes of the book are existential and philosophical. 2. What did the book teach you about different approaches at entrepreneurship and at being an entrepreneur? One important message of the book is the explanation of VCs´ perspective towards business opportunities and entrepreneurship. VCs are driven for risky ideas that have the potential to become leaders, but most importantly, they invest in the team and in the team´s passion. The team needs to have a combination of soft and hard skills, in order to be able to successfully develop and execute the business plan. Furthermore, entrepreneurs need to focus their business plan on solving...

...moved to the US, alone, at the age of 18. I completed my Associate’s degree in Nursing, and then eventually completed my Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies. I have about six years of experience working as a nurse. I decided to pursue the MBA in order to help me transition to investment finance, which I find more challenging and satisfying. Personality assessments: For the most part, the various assessments confirmed strengths and weaknesses that I was already aware of. My career anchor was pure challenge. This confirms one of the many reasons why I left my previous job. In my previous job, I felt like I was doing the same things day in day out without even thinking about it. Though I felt that I performed relatively unchallenging tasks, I still felt drained of energy by the end of each working day. And that did not give me any satisfaction, despite receiving praise from my managers. I turned down opportunities to move into management because I knew that my managers spent a lot of time buried in compliance-type paperwork. My DISC assessment showed that I am mostly steady and conscientious. In particular, the comments about my basic characteristics were eerily accurate (I feel like they got the information from the NSA). I will like to share those comments in the quote below: Kobina can be motivated through teamwork. He likes to know he is a valued team member. He can be open, patient and tolerant of differences. His natural quality of being nonjudgmental is a great strength...
