...Personal Thinking Styles Pursuant to my Life Styles Inventory (LSI): Self-description results my primary personal thinking style is “Avoidance” with a percentile score of 55% and my back-up thinking style is “Conventional” with a percentile score of 50%. As I reviewed my circumplex I became rather disturbed as I tried to understand the “Avoidance” scale. The LSI description of Avoidance states that the this thinking style is defined by tendencies of denying responsibility and your behavior, feelings of guilt and an obsession of your own concerns. I have trouble relating to these characteristics as I hardly stray from responsibility if it’s warranted or of having guilty feelings and am definitely not obsessive over my own concerns. In fact, I always own up to my responsibilities and/or any mess ups either at work or at home. I have not been in a role of a manager yet have supervised a number of interns and I have never been threatened by or with any responsibilities pushed upon me. In fact, I almost always took same on with confidence and a sense of dedication. I do agree with the assessment that at times I may not give myself full credit where I completely deserve it; I have attributed this more to humility than to insecurity. Although I am not hard on myself for mistakes and misjudgments I do, however, tend to dwell on things far longer than necessary. For example, if during a presentation I stumbled in answering a question I would live with the embarrassment of same...

Web Support link: http://www.secureav.com/AMTMCC-v1.0.htm Summary: Aviation Technicians Model Code of Conduct My internet research led to an excellent web-resource designed to provide aviation workplaces with a template for tailoring their own work place Code of Conduct. In the introduction, it describes the code of conduct as a tool, if this tool implemented correctly will provide a path of career advancements for AMTs. The principles of the conduct of conduct are broken into seven sections covering everything from general responsibilities, training, use of technology, advancements to mention a few. Farther down on the model the benefits of the code of conduct are layout in detail. I would sum up the benefits as simple providing AMT with the sense of a higher purpose or morals that will benefit any work place environment. If you were still convinced, the principles are broke down even further. For example, under section I General responsibilities of Aviation Maintenance Technicians it lists nine things AMTs should do. The list starts with “make safety their highest prior” what boss or supervise could disagree with that. With emphasizes on safety, excellence, risk management, and responsibility at the forefront throughout this document its use seems to be a no brainer. Below each principles section is a samples...

...The reason I am continuing my college education involves two factors. The first and most important are my children; I wanted to set a good example. It is my responsibility to make sure my children understand how important an education is and what it can provide. The next factor is to gain a degree in Master of Science in Regulatory Affairs for Drugs, Biologics, and Medical Devices, which will give me the ability to advance my career with Olympus America. As a father, I feel it is my responsibility to set a good example. This year I finished my dream of becoming a college graduate and setting a standard for my children to follow. My children and I have talked about furthering my education and how important it is to get the right education. Another aspect of being a parent is making sure my children understand that it is never too late to follow your heart.

...your own responsibilities and not relying on your boss to do all of the work for you. The article is aimed at those certain types of bosses who respond to their subordinates by saying things like “Leave me a memo on that. I’ll get back to you. Don’t you worry about that.” With these responses, the article explains that subordinates are handing off their own problems to the backs of their supervisors. This is a vicious never ending cycle for the manager because he then finds himself over working and trying to catch up on the weekends while the subordinates are waiting on the boss’ response while enjoying their own weekend. This is kind of ironic because you find yourself questioning who’s actually working for whom. The article refers to these jobs or tasks as “monkeys”. The author uses the metaphor on how a monkey jumps from one back to another symbolizing the task (or monkey) jumping from the subordinate’s responsibility on to the boss’. One thing I learned from the article is how to manage time in general and never hand my problems to somebody else. I also learned how to avoid dealing with other peoples tasks and making sure I am not providing these types of answers which welcome the monkeys open armed. Three of My Monkeys Three monkeys which I currently have are school, work and bills. The way I deal with school is by making sure I attend everyday and staying on top of the workload. With 7 classes this semester it is easy to fall behind but it is my responsibility and nobody...

...Final Assignment: Ten Point Code of Ethics Ten Point Code of Ethics Introduction: In the Information Technology field as with many professional fields it is necessary to have a clear code of ethics that ensures the safety of the professional, the organization, and the client. This code of ethics should reflect the standards that are put forth by the profession and the expectations that the profession has for those who work in this field. When developing the code of ethics I reflected on what has been important to me in my career in terms of technology, ethics, and safety in the military and in my current career. I also reflected on what I believe will be important to me when I entered the information technology profession, and what is ethically correct in terms of the profession, the organization for which I work, for the clients, and for all stakeholders. Based on this reflection, the ten point code of ethics below represents what I believe to be important in terms of the information technology profession.

...for a wide array for responsibilities, some of those responsibilities are fairly simple and generic and others are more labor intensive and require more time. Some such of those responsibilities are employee payroll and benefits such as insurance, and 401k etc. HRM now also has the responsibilities of analyzing and designing job functions, employee selection and recruitment, employee performance evaluations and compensation. Some of these were in fact in the past the responsibility of the manager above the employee. Why was the switch made to take performance evaluations taken away from the first line supervisors? It’s plausible to say that because as times changed industry expectations shifted to a more work and product output driven environment, where performance evaluations only slowed down the process of getting to the bottom dollar. Not only are HRM responsible for what is listed above they are additionally responsible for creating a safe work environment, employee selection and recruitment, training/ orientation and professional development, as well as safety and employee wellness. This could be from a variety of reasons, some could include such things as who better to determine training and development then the department that designs job functions. Safety and wellness can come in a variety of ways, whether that be having an onsite medical team available to employee’s or offering health screenings at the work place. Safety is everyone’s responsibility naturally however who...

...While most documentary films embrace a view that examines a person more or less from a biographical point of view, Robert Epstein and Richard Schiechen's documentary about the first openly gay elected official in the United States takes a somewhat different approach. The subject of the film, Harvey Milk, was elected to the San Francisco board of city supervisors in 1977, and proceeded to champion for the rights not only of homosexuals, but of underprivileged people in general, gaining popularity by appealing to minorities and working class folks. The story of Milk is one that demonstrates the power of the U.S. election system, one that serves the interest of the public when utilized to its fullest, and ultimately proves that anything is possible through perseverance and determination. Milk's story is truly fascinating. This openly gay man from New York state moved to San Francisco in the 1960s, becoming a figure in the counterculture and peace movements before expressing an interest in public office. While the majority of the public did not agree with some of his more outspoken views on the rights of gays and lesbians, Milk succeeded in winning over large portions of the public through his crusades for better representation in local government, interest in the livelihoods of average people, and dedication toward causes that he believed were in the best interest of all. In examining the legacy left behind by this pioneer of civil rights, Epstein and Schiechen's film...

...Educational Success Through Personal Responsibility Educational Success Through Personal Responsibility Personal responsibility encompasses everything that makes us who we are, what allows us to succeed throughout our lives. To me, personal responsibility is critical because to know its definition is to be a pro-active human being willing to stay focused on themselves and their overall goals, especially when it comes to a college education. Achieving educational success is vital in that it allows us to be taken more seriously in the real world; it’s common knowledge that a majority of people won’t be hired into or attain well paying employment unless they have at least a Bachelors degree from an accredited university. The link between personal responsibility and college success is a clear one, without focus and self-discipline then it would be impossible for someone to succeed in school. A person has to want to be in college, they need an affinitive reason for pursuing their degree, or else their personal responsibility will prove to be considerably low. Before anything else, it’s important for people to know who they are inside and out, to be comfortable and happy in their own skin. According to respected professor D.R. Garrison, self-monitoring is synonymous with personal responsibility to construct meaning. He states “to be responsible for one's own learning necessitates a willingness and ability to self-monitor the learning process” (Garrison, 1997). The value of...

...Realizing all this, I feel that the only actions I could pursue that would exhibt an understanding of responsibility, I decided to go back to school. This decision brings on an array of concerns and challenges; can I do this, what happens if I fail, how do I juggle my personal responsibilities, will this degree even matter? Now there are credible fears and ludcrious fears in life and for me all these fears boil down to the fear of failure- I don’t want to go through all this hardship and end up flat on my face. I even would go as far to say that most of my early life’s disillusionment stemmed from this fear. Rather than try I would just be critical of those who did. Taking my education and viewing it as a life enhancement will help me during the times of struggle towards my degree. Ultimately, whether or not this gets me a better paying job, the tools I learn here will help me in all the endeavors of my life. Taking this approach will impact the outlook when life wont work how I think it should based on what I’ve done. The question now is, understanding the challenges I face, how will I take responsibility of my success? As I’ve alluded to before, the first step is to transform the way I think. It will do me no good when the struggles arise if I look at college with resentment. I must see this as value added. For me, when things are a positive, it makes it easier to handle the bad that always come along with it. The follow through with this will be the pratical application...

... CheckPoint: Group Communication For this check point assignment, I will be discussing how businesses can organize their employees/staff into teams, the benefits of doing so, and the communication within the group. Group communication differs from individual communication because you need to always be actively listening. Making sure that other group members get an opportunity to speak and share their opinions. Being an active listener can also help resolve conflict between one group member and another. Some examples of conflict resolution would be to make responsibilities and ground rules clear at the beginning, discuss problems as they arise, rather than letting them fester till people explode, and realize that group members are not responsible for each other’s’ happiness. One of the most important elements of a successful team is open and honest communication, with employees sharing opinions and information to ensure that all team members are certain of the business objectives and how to achieve them. Ways to foster group communication would be schedule regular meetings with the whole team, so that each member can provide feedback as to any concerns they may be having, or report on the progress of any projects being undertaken. Also, encourage your team to ask as many questions as possible...
