...WOLFGANG KELLER CASE Q. Keller's assessment of Brodsky? Keller feels that Brodsky is not effective to be at his position even when he believes that Brodsky has excellent analytical skills, (by designing the impressive sales force organization) but sooner he discredits them by showing his effort because of which the redesigning had been done early. Keller also believes that Brodsky tries to avoid the work which has impossible deadlines because of which he keeps doing these works several times and Brodsky doesn't bother. Keller also feels that Brodsky should take part in the fun activities like going for fishing trips, playing cards with his colleagues rather than maintaining a formal Vy way. Keller also feels that he should stay as a Staff member rather than as a Leader. Q. My perceptive on Keller's assessment of Brodsky's performance? According to my point of view Keller's assessment of Brodsky is very bias and totally based on his own ideals. The words that Keller used for Brodsky that hi is "of a low level leadership and no personality" which is kind of very harsh words to be used for a person who is at a high post in the company,obviously he has a personality that is why he is a Director of the company. I also think Keller could have acted gently and have coached Brodsky rather than just putting the negative points about him. If Brodsky doesn't want to talk about his personal life or mix his professional life with personal life is totally fine, every person has...

...Introduction This paper aim at analyzing the concept of entrepreneurial leadership .Before starting our analysis, two important concepts need to be addressed: Leadership and Entrepreneurship. Leadership is directing or inspiring people to attain organizational goals (Boone and Kurtz, 2011). An entrepreneur is a person who seeks a profitable opportunity and takes the necessary risks to set up and operate a business (Boone and Kurtz, 2011). In the past 15 years researchers have tried to merge those two concepts into one concept Entrepreneurial Leadership .The common point of those researchers is that most defined some of the main elements of what they taught entrepreneurial leadership meant (Tarabishy, 2003). According to the research result of Ayman Tarabishy (2003) entrepreneurial leadership is one of an enterprising, transformational leader who operates in a dynamic market that offers lucrative opportunities. Entrepreneurial leaders are usually risk takers, driven, and can recognize when change will give an advantage. Entrepreneur leaders are engine of innovation, renewal, and job creation (Verheul, 2007). Entrepreneur leaders apply their talent in different situations and have different entrepreneurial approaches. Thesis Statement: In analyzing the importance of leading entrepreneurs to determine their entrepreneurial approaches one of each of the following categories will be addressed: (1) profit oriented, (2) social responsibility oriented; 3) personal approach and...

...Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play remind the audience that good deeds are necessary for redemption, however, they reinforce the idea that we must shun material concerns to be redeemed. Both plays seek to reinforce these aspects of redemption to insure that all may be redeemed. The world is imperfect, and the only way we can make ourselves perfect and worthy of redemption is by not worrying about our material well being and performing good deeds. It is by disregarding our material concerns that allow us to perform good deeds. Everyman places his faith in material things, his friends, relatives and goods. These material things do him no good. Fellowship claims he "will not forsake thee to my life's end" (Everyman 213), yet when Everyman asks Fellowship to accompany him on his journey for redemption and ultimately death he "will not go that loath journey- / Not for the father that begat me!" (Everyman 268-269). By placing his faith in man rather than God, he does not receive "any more comfort" (Everyman 304). The same discouragement greets Everyman after his talks with Cousin and Kindred. Kindred claims that they "will live and die togither" (Everyman 324), but abandons him soon after making this statement. After Kindred and Cousin leave him, Everyman realizes that "fair promises men to me make, / but when I have most need they me forsake" (Everyman 370-371). Since man will not help him, he turns to goods. Everyman realizes...

...Jean Charest was born on June 24, 1958, in Sherbrooke, in the Eastern Townships. His parents are Rita (born Leonard), an Irish Quebecer, and Claude "Red" Charest, a French Canadian.[2] He obtained a law degree from the Université de Sherbrooke and was admitted to the Barreau du Québec in 1981. He is married to Michèle Dionne (since June 21, 1980) and they have three children, Amélie, Antoine, and Alexandra. Charest is fully bilingual in French and English. Some have wrongfully claimed that Jean Charest downplays his legal first name John by presenting himself in French as Jean so as to appeal more to francophone Quebecers. For example, in the 1997 federal election, Bloc Québécois MP Suzanne Tremblay attacked Charest by saying, "First, let's recall who Jean Charest really is... his real name is John, that's what's on his birth certificate, not Jean."[3] Charest responded that, his mother being an Irish-Quebecer, it was the Irish priest who baptized him that wrote John on the baptism certificate, but that he was always known as Jean in his family and with his peers as well. He also went to French schools. Federal politics He worked as a lawyer until he was elected Progressive Conservative member of the Canadian Parliament for the riding (electoral district) of Sherbrooke in the 1984 election. From 1984 to 1986, Charest served as Assistant Deputy Chair of Committees of the Whole of the House of Commons. In 1986, at age 28, he was appointed to the Cabinet of then Prime Minister...

...DIALOGIC TEACHING AND THE STUDY OF CLASSROOM TALK A DEVELOPMENTAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Robin Alexander Universities of Cambridge and York This bibliography puts in more or less chronological order Robin Alexander’s publications on spoken language in learning and teaching up to February 2015. It starts with observational and discourse studies undertaken in the north of England during the 1980s and early 1990s. Then follows the Culture and Pedagogy international study out of which Alexander’s approach to dialogic teaching developed. Towards Dialogic Teaching presents this approach in detail, and Essays on Pedagogy extends the dialogic principle into wider aspects of education, reasserting the importance of an international perspective. Next come evaluation reports from two of the UK local authorities with whose teachers Robin Alexander has worked. The bibliography also includes relevant articles and book chapters.

...Regent University School of Undergraduate Studies CHRISTIANITY AND WICCA: DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED By COLLIS M. FOGLE RELS 107 Worldviews June 4, 2011 Professor Thomas Kreischer ” that the doctrines, commonly called orthodox, are contrary to reason, are FALLACIOUS; and a similar mode of reasoning, on: the truths of Natural Religion, will land us in atheism.” – ARCHIBALD AleXANDER Introduction The “New Age” is anything but new. This worldview and the myriad pagan and neo-pagan religions gathered beneath the shadow of its relatively large umbrella have been around for centuries. The modern church needs to be aware of the insidious threat posed by this seemingly platonic worldview so that the church, from pastors to congregation, can be adequately equipped to identify, pray and witness against this threat. Wiccans claim that Satan is a myth (and a Christian one at that) and that they believe in no such being. The Holy Bible, the inerrant word of God, says otherwise. There are only two sides in the eternal conflict that humankind is involved in and either we serve God or Satan. This paper will prove this fact and outline the stark differences between Wiccan and a Christian Theistic worldview. Jesus Christ is the key to salvation and without acceptance for His sacrifice; eternal damnation is the ultimate destination. The Bible denounces any and all occult practices. “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination...
