...comprises affective abilities and cognitive skills that are distinct from abilities measured by traditional IQ tests. This EI competencies are: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social-relationship management. (Goleman 1998) Norwack (2012) refers to a newer-generation approach called “Trait based” model (TEI) which is a result of a mix of previous models: Personality based, Competency based and Mental ability. This model enumerates four aspects of EI: sociability, self-control, well-being and emotionality. Petrides- Perez Gonzalez-Furnham (citied by Smith et al. 2013) express their agreement with TEI model saying that self-perception of own emotions is essential to be able to develop and implement successful coping strategies when confronting stressful situations. On the other hand, individuals with low TEI usually adopt maladaptive coping under stress-pressure. Furthermore, Austin (citied by Smith et al. 2013) argues about the relationship between TEI and the individual’s perception of social...

...and outside of the group or organization. ( Lu as citied by Lam 2014 Pg 81) suggests that effective leaders are basically those who (a) “know what to do with themselves”, (b) “know what to do with their people”, (c) “know what to do with the communication channels/environment within the organization”, and (d) “have a holistic picture of what is going on within their organization. For this critical analysis, I will be using Edmonds five point rule to describe what an effective leader/leadership is: Rule 1: If you expect people to follow you there, you first must know where there is.” This is about developing a clear, compelling, and appealing vision for the followers. My leader who is my direct manager came into our branch when we were going through series of changes with our banking system and personnel shortage. My previous manager was never around in the branch so did not take out time to get to know us individually. When it came the time for mid-year performance review, he was appraising most of us based on what he heard from his assistant which was a very subjective approach. We could not follow him because there was no clear vision of what we were expected to do and how to get there. He was an ineffective leader. On the other hand, my present manager takes time to mentor, coach and direct us on what is expected of us. She use both the transactional and transformational method of leadership. Transactional leaders work within the existing organizational strategies, system...

...Case Study: The Environmental Impact of the J and J Chemical Fire Background: The J&J chemical company is a manufacturing facility that provides and delivers portable sanitation products and services to more than 80 countries. Its headquarters and main manufacturing plant is located on Olympic Drive in Athens Georgia. This 30,000 square foot manufacturing plant produces portion control deodorizers, green products, non-formaldehyde, formaldehyde liquids, fragrance enhancers, cleaners, degreasers, hand sanitizers, and soap. The rear portion of this plant’s parcel borders the edge of Trail Creek, a major tributary for the Oconee River. The Oconee River is a two hundred and twenty mile long river that runs from North Georgia down to Wheeler County, where it joins the Ocmulgee River. These two rivers form the Altamaha River and ultimately empty into the Atlantic Ocean near Brunswick and The Golden Isles. Problem: On July 28th, 2010 a spontaneous combustion of several chemical stored in the manufacturing plant caused a fire to start. This fire burned for more than 8 hours, causing toxic smoke to fill the air and released contaminated chemicals into nearby Trail Creek. No one was in the building when the fire started, and no firefighters or anyone else was hurt while battling the blaze. The Athens-Clarke County Fire Department used thousands of gallons of water to fight the fire. This large amount of water usage “caused the stream to be highly polluted”, according...

...SUMMARY The fashion industry appears to be very dynamic with constant changes in customer attitudes altering the strategies of international firms and thus the structures of industry. The increase in customers concerned with environmentally issues has been mirrored as stores offer increasing ranges of eco-friendly products. A similar trend has occurred with relation to ethical shoppers. Companies understand the importance of being seen to be an ethical retailer and so many have invested in overseas management to keep track of suppliers. Different companies have chosen different strategies to help them to overcome current issues in international markets. For instance, Zara has progressed via forward integration, whereas H&M contract work out to suppliers. One strategy that all leading firms have adopted is the use of company websites. They are used to promote online shopping which has increased dramatically recently and it believed to continue increasing for some time. The elimination of quantitative import restrictions in 2004 must also be highlighted since it altered the way some company’s trade. It also allowed developing countries to extend into other branches of the fashion chain other than production. A further apparent trend would be the decrease in expenditure. This is thought to be the result of the current financial state which is causing customers to restrict their spending. The availability of cheap fashionable clothing from discount stores such as Primark may...

...guarantee paid sick leave.” This is not entirely true, as Canada and Japan both have organizations that will pay for a leave from work for cancer patients. This statement is partly true because other countries don’t have a paid sick leave for a sickness only lasted a couple of days. The President also wants “a bill that gives every worker in American the opportunity to earn seven days of paid sick leave.” This proposition will not be successful because the American people will be wondering where this money is coming from. The government should be focusing on the economy before proposing new bills to spend more money. In Obama’s annual State of the Union, he sets the tone for his final years in the White House. The State of the Union is not trying to show what he will be doing in the next couple years because it is nearly impossible with the Republicans in charge of Congress. Instead he is trying to position the Democratic Party favorable for the 2016 election. Obama showed some weakness in his speech. Obviously the Democrats agree with what he proposes and the Republicans do not. However, during the speech it seemed like the President, the most powerful man in the country, showed a little desperation and weakness.

...“Mending Wall” by Robert Frost The harsh reality of life is that many of us put up walls for no reason other than we were told by someone, or it was passed down from generation to generation without question. We will erect walls around types of people, places, religion, and things without understanding why we even do it. “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost portrays a view that we are seeing today around the world. So many groups of people all walled off from each other, and it does not allow them to become friends or to understand each other’s culture. When the wall comes down, people figure out that all of us want the same things out of life. Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” is about walls that people set up for no reason whatsoever. Frosty shows quickly that there is something wrong when he begins the point with “something there is that does not love a wall” (563). The poem tells the story of two landowners who appear to be following a tradition that has been passed down from father to son. They never discuss the importance of the wall; however, they meet every year to walk their respective sides of the wall and attempt to repair it. The poem leads the reader to believe that they repair this wall only once a year after each winter. The leakage from either side of the wall is not the entire reason for the task. The speaker goes as far as to say to the stones themselves “stay where you are until our backs are turned” (563); this would lead you to believe that there is no...

It does not matter who you are, where you came from. The ability to successes begins with you. Although Oprah Winfrey is famous for her work in media, she deserves to be written into history because of her work in making a difference in the world as well. As a result, history will be enriched in all the things she can do to change others lives. Oprah Winfrey lived with her grandmother in Mississippi. She comes from a poor family and even though she went through stuff she had her grandmothers and church support. At age 13 she moved to Milwaukee to live with her mother. That was when trouble came into her life. While she was living with her mother she faced sexual abuse and molestation; by her male relatives and her uncle. Sapiro says, "About 80 percent of women and 64 percent of men defined" a relative having sexual intercourse with a teenager under the age of 18" as rape"(Sapiro 402). Just to think that any teenage under the age of 18 can be raped by a relative is hard to imagine. Children that get raped at such a young do not always make a life out of themselves. They keep it all in and that damages them. Oprah never told anyone she kept it a secret and it all turned into anger...
