... I started thinking how inspiring this movie might be for anyone working with communities and organizations to change behaviour for the better. Compressed into an intense and claustrophobic 96 minutes, the script and performances do a wonderful job of highlighting and exaggerating some big points when it comes to behaviour change. It’s kind of like a mini test-lab of social norms, nudging and the power of emotion all mixed up and working together. I’ve put together a little summary of the five observations that stood out for me. It’s by no means exhaustive, but captures a few ideas that kept popping up after. #1 – Looking up and out In the early scene of the movie, as the jurors start to gather around the table, Henry Fonda’s character (Juror #8) deliberately separates himself from the group. He moves at his own pace, walks over to the window and looks out, and is the 2nd last Juror to seat himself at the table. It’s pretty clear that while he’s sizing up the group and their mood, he’s being careful to separate himself from the group, and maintain a different perspective. I think this is an interesting image to keep in mind when kicking off any behaviour change initiative. It’s important to seek a different point of view and start seeing the bigger picture – to look up and out. By looking up at the environment, you can start to size up the surrounding conditions and environment that are contributing to why people do the things they do. And by looking out, you can seek inspiration...

...functioning support system, motivation, risk-taking behavior, frame of mind, and developmental stage, which are all factors of emotional readiness to learn. Another challenge is related to language differences amongst different ethnic and cultural groups. Last, but most important, is the realization that adult learners who had previous negative experiences in school are likely to have doubts about their academic capability (Goto & Martin, 2009). With that premise in mind, the writer proposes the establishment of the Esprit de corps Learning Initiative, a non-profit organization, which offers a complete program targeted to the educational enhancement of the adult learner. The comprehensive description of proposed program Esprit de corps is defined as a sense of unity and of common interests or responsibilities among a group of persons closely associated in a task, cause, or enterprise. The Esprit de Corps Learning Initiative (ELI) mission is to empower adult learners with the tools for self-sufficiency. ELI is committed to this goal by providing necessary services that adult...

...Literature is the cream of life created in the imagination of a poet or a writer whose personality has outgrown the social limits and extended itself into the domain of impersonal consciousness. The individual we are is the social expression of the human being whose real existence transcends the social consciousness. Great poets and writers create in their imagination that Real Man and make him play a limited social role where he often peeps out of his social personality into his universal individuality. It is this extra dimension of those characters that is fascinating to us and renders them immortal characters. We see that the immortality of a character is his innate universality. Jane Austen’s genius captured the flavour of the French Revolution wafting across the shores of England which was anxious to restructure its society so as to avoid a bloody revolution. Mental growth that assimilates the spirit of the times can compel the body to rise to the occasion, thus avoiding the inherent violence of any revolution. England did escape the guillotine by exercising its social wisdom which was willing to unite the higher and lower strata of the society. Pride and Prejudice can be seen as a story of several marriages where the abominable pride of Darcy becomes the uncontrollable passion of his heart. Romance is the adventure of the heart for the unattainable. This approach views the story as the aristocracy descending to the commoner in its passion to preserve the society...

...humble essay to explore if there are indeed any best practices in implementing work-life balance –a catchphrase which most of the companies love to swear by –and whether a holistic model for efficient work-life balance program can evolve from what the companies at the top are following on the ground. The authors have also tried to present a critique of gaps in current work-life balance programs. The paper raises more questions than it answers and thus provides enough fodder for the intellectual investigation on the theme. Keywords: Work-life balance, Best Practices, Organizational Excellence Introduction Work-life balance programs have attracted the attention of corporate leaders in recent times thanks to significance of such initiatives in augmenting organizational performance. The organizations across the globe are trying to remain competitive by pampering their employees who in turn are increasingly finding it difficult to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle and cope with the overwhelming demands of work and home.

The plan to implement this system was divided into phases as follows: Planning Phase, Work Phase and Active Implementation Phase. These plans entail implementing new technologies through SACWIS and partnering with community groups that may serve the same clients and work process redesign where the actual case management duties are automated through the system. Using Kotter’s Change Model, I analyzed the strategic change initiatives DFCS initiated and gathered very interesting results. Additionally, I analyzed this organization to be in the growth phase in the life cycle of development, entering maturity. The change was driven by the state of the economy and the need of the department to manage the volume of applicants, child abuse and neglect cases on the rise, and the need for technology advances within this government division.
