There is a potential for opportunities to be overlooked or missed if the company focuses its search on hiring similar individuals. The company should also be open to change and hearing employees’ opinions to help encourage growth and fresh ideas. Because this type of business is client-oriented, the company should not be afraid of taking risks and learning from those risks. They should also hold themselves to high standards, putting professionalism at the top of their list. Measures should be taken to ensure the highly sensitive information of their clients is protected and kept confidential. Lastly, we suggest that one of the company’s philosophies should be “action over analysis,” meaning the employees should think about things before they do them, without overthinking (Bruce & Langdon, 2000). Overthinking can waste valuable time and resources, which will cost the firm …show more content…

“The Carrots website, an official online publication of the O.C. Tanner Corporation, cites a survey claiming only 30 percent of employees understand what their company’s business strategy is” (Schamotta). Considering this, the company’s managers will be responsible for communicating the overall strategy of the company to any new employees that are hired. Managers will also be expected to know when to use which form of communication, as choosing the right form of communication can make a large difference in ensuring a message is both understood and acted upon. The communication channels the company should focus on are: telephone; written communications: letters and emails; one-on-one verbal discussions; and meetings: face to face, teleconference, and video. The telephone is an essential tool to businesses, especially in an increasingly globalized world (Schamotta). It is a better communication tool than email when an employee’s input is needed both immediately and steadily throughout a conversation (Schamotta). To cut back on distractions, phone calls should be taken in quiet areas or offices where full concentration is less of a hassle (Schamotta). Sometimes, however, the conversation is not as urgent and can be communicated via email

I believe that Columbus Day shouldn’t be a holiday. Columbus was horrible to the Native Americans, He took them as slaves, wiped out them with diseases, and just killed them outright with superior weapons like guns. He tried to convert Native Americans into Christians while trying to wipe out the Native American Culture. In Columbus’ journal Columbus wrote “All the inhabitants could be taken away to spain to become slaves.”

Columbus day Columbus day is a day that we think of Christopher Columbus for “finding” america. Yet he really did not find america the native Americans did not Columbus. Columbus day is really just a way to get out of school for a day. Columbus is a man that did a lot of bad things to the native Americans all for just the money. I think that we should not have Columbus day because he really did not do anything for this country except kill a lot of native Americans which was really bad.

I claim that Columbus Day should remain an American holiday. I believe Columbus Day should remain an American holiday because Columbus laid the foundations for the widespread European migration from Europe to America. Although Columbus was not the first to discover America, he was the first to attempt to colonize America. Columbus’ Voyages led to the widespread exchange of food, goods and animals. Now known as the Columbian Exchange, this is a momentous point in history.

I feel that Columbus Day shouldn’t be a national holiday. It should not be a holiday because Columbus was an awful person. He murdered hundreds of natives causing genocide, killing off half of the population either by overworking them or making them starve. He also brought harmful germs and diseases to the indigenous people such as smallpox, influenza, typhus, and typhoid. Lastly, he enslaved the Natives so that he could have gold.

Columbus Day has been celebrated in the US for generations, but it is not something America should be proud of. Christopher Columbus carried out a genocide, yet (inexplicably) this information is excluded from textbooks throughout elementary and some of middle school. Columbus Day should not be celebrated because it is glorifying the abuse of indigenous people and mistreatment of those who are different from oneself. Christopher Columbus was born in 1451, claiming to be from Genoa (now Italy). However, there is evidence that he might not have been from there at all.

The success of any organization depends on the ability of members to communicate efficiently with each other and with external stakeholders including clients, shareholders, analysts, suppliers, and the community (Tariszka-Semegine, 2012).

When it comes to specific discourse communities many have a preferred way of communication. For example, in the art community, emails are used more frequently than phone calls. Simply because it is more convenient for many artists to email than to call other occupied artists. Like the art community, emails are means of communication in the financial service sector, other channels of communication comprise of: teleconferencing (webinars, Skype), written communication, Instant messaging, texting and computer conferencing. The type of communication implemented varies based on richness (the amount of information available in a given channel), control (the degree to which the communication process can be managed) and speed (the quickness a message exchange occurs).

WORKPLACE DECISION MAKING- MY REFLECTION 'S Dealing with ambiguity comes naturally to us humans, and it starts with learning our first language as an infant. The effective decision making is an iterative learning process acquired by relying on experiences from our own past reflexes and also learning from those of others.
