In the article, “Blue Collar Brilliance”, published in the summer of 2009 by Mike Rose in the American Scholar, Rose persuades people that the amount of someone’s educational level doesn’t justify their intelligence level and we shouldn’t base our opinions of their intelligence purely off their jobs. Since this article was published in the American Scholar his target audience is people of higher education and those who might hold stereotypes of blue collar workers. Rose is highly successful in persuading his audience to form new opinions on blue collar workers and their overall intelligence levels. He emphasizes his credibility throughout the article with anecdotes, a well thought out organization of his paper, as well as an elevated vocabulary

Walmart was founded in the summer of 1962 by Kingfisher, Oklahoma native Sam Walton. Although Walton’s original vision for the store was relatively modest, the half century since its founding has seen Walmart morph into one of the biggest companies in the world. Today headed by one Doug McMillon, Walmart boasts more than 5000 stores in the United States of America alone and employs more than 1.5 million people. Walmart is undoubtedly an American institution, yet each Walmart store feels like its own little country. Walmart seems to have its own laws and customs and the people who shop their on a regular basis appear almost primitive in their behavior as they go about raiding the store’s shelves and wrestling with fellow customers for discount flat screen televisions and bulk packages of two-ply toilet paper.
“Organizational structure describes the way a company arranges its tasks, work, and people to create a product or service and achieve its goals” (Walston, 2017, p.322). “A similar term, organizational design, normally refers to the alignment of an organization’s structure—including roles and processes for formal reporting relationships—with its missions and goals” (Walston, 2017, p.322). It is typical of health care facilities to operate as a hierarchical structure with supervisors having a comparatively limited span of control (Walston, 2017). Some health care organizations have a relatively short hierarchy, whereas others have a taller hierarchy.

In almost every novel or story there is a hero and it typically tends to be the main character. Whether or not the main character is a hero or not can be hard to tell depending on the story or novel. In the book 1984 by George Orwell the main character being a hero is a matter of opinion because it depends on which way the reader interprets it.

Solution 4: CEO needs to take a good look at the management and supervisors that are presently in place and do a drastic sifting process. Get rid of those managers who don’t want to work or who are derogatory towards the success of the company and its employees, and do some shifting around with the managers that are still in place. This will help the CEO to see who has the talents and abilities to help the company grow, while giving them a chance to prove themselves. If they still aren’t successful after several attempts, the CEO needs to help them understand that they may be better suited working with another company. In the book Good to Great, by Jim Collins, he states, “We expected that good-to-great leaders would begin by setting a new vision and strategy, we found instead that they first got the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats --- and then they figured out where to drive it.
