This document discusses leadership styles through comparing behaviors of animals in the jungle to behaviors exhibited in corporate environments. It notes that while prey animals naturally fear predators, predators also exhibit fear or suspicion even after achieving a kill, not due to lack of strength but due to the cunningness of other predators that may take their kill. Similarly, bosses in corporations may exhibit fear or suspicion of subordinates not because the subordinates could directly harm them, but because the bosses obtained their high positions through cunningness rather than merit, making them doubt being exposed. The key lesson is that if bosses display suspicion of their own people, it indicates the bosses doubt their own merit and may have obtained their position through deceptive means rather than true leadership ability.
The document discusses how weaknesses and susceptibility are inherent parts of nature and evolution that allow different species to survive. It notes that herbivores can thrive because plants regenerate after being eaten, and prey animals can exist because predators prey upon their weaknesses. These weaknesses cannot always be understood or explained logically. The management message is that when failures or successes cannot be explained, it is better to accept it and focus on developing new skills rather than wasting too much time trying to find reasons or blame others. Corporate people should view setbacks as opportunities to overcome challenges rather than seeing themselves as victims.
The document discusses the unique ability of parrots and rabbits to see things behind them without turning their heads. It notes that while this ability could theoretically help the animals avoid predators, in reality they are still vulnerable to being caught. It argues that unique abilities alone do not guarantee success - they must be supported by intelligence and goals. The document suggests corporate human resources functions should play a role in identifying uniquely talented "parrots and rabbits" among employees and helping them utilize their abilities to maximize performance, rather than acting as "hunters" against them. HR should study employees scientifically to discover their latent talents, like biologists studying animals, rather than taking a superficial view. Nature provides lessons for developing corporate talent that many organizations fail to
The document discusses the purpose and effects of animal poisons from multiple perspectives. It notes that fast-spreading poisons allow predators to subdue prey quickly before it escapes, and provide poisonous animals a defense against threats. However, the large size of some animals' bodies means poisons may shock but not kill them. The justice of nature is said to be the same for both victims and victors, but humans often derive subjective, partial, and prejudiced interpretations. The key message is about maintaining a positive, holistic vision to understand meanings rather than making wrong assumptions due to disconnected perspectives.
The document provides background on Chanakya Pandit, an ancient Indian philosopher and teacher. It describes how Chanakya helped install Chandragupta Maurya as king in order to defeat invading forces and protect India. Under Chanakya's guidance, Chandragupta went on to build one of the largest empires in Indian history. The document then discusses several of Chanakya's teachings on politics, ethics, and living a prudent life. It provides 13 verses from Chanakya's work on these topics.

Volunteers in urban Forestry: Treasure or TroubleLee Mueller
For many cities, volunteers have become an increasingly critical part of urban forestry programs. However, whether you are engaging volunteers as part of your community outreach strategy or to help plant trees, volunteers can require significant amounts of time and resources to manage resources that are not always available. Luckily, if assigned the right projects and provided the right leadership, volunteers can add significant value to your forestry programs. This presentation will provide an overview of the value volunteers can provide, choosing effective volunteer projects, and recruiting volunteers. Specific attention will be given to volunteer training needs, efficient communication, and methods of identifying leaders. Participants can be expected to walk away with an understanding of how to appeal to volunteer leaders, the challenges to volunteer approaches, and
unique ways to keep volunteers engaged and supporting your community's work.

Catholic School Enrollment Strategies That WorkJim Friend
This document summarizes enrollment strategies that have helped increase Catholic school enrollment in the Diocese of Allentown, Pennsylvania. It describes how declining enrollment led to closing schools but new strategies including tuition grants, targeted marketing campaigns, and accountability measures have helped stabilize and grow enrollment in recent years. Data on enrollment trends at the diocesan, elementary, and high school levels from 1990-2014 demonstrate the impacts of these strategies. Recommendations are provided for continued enrollment management.

This document summarizes the success of the annual appeal for the Diocese of Allentown, PA. [1] Over the past several years, the appeal has increased donations significantly through focused strategies including engaging the bishop and pastors, building relationships with donors, expanding giving societies, and ongoing engagement throughout the year. [2] As of September 2012, the appeal was tracking a 19% increase in giving over 2011, bringing in $4.2 million compared to $3.6 million the prior year. [3] Key factors in this growth include the bishop's strong leadership and visibility in the community as well as relationship building with both new and existing donors.
This document discusses using electronic media like websites, social networking, blogs, video, and mobile apps to spread messages of stewardship. It provides statistics on popular platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and offers strategies for using each one. These include creating pages/groups, keeping content fresh and updated, engaging users, and being cautious of privacy and legal issues. The overall message is that electronic media can effectively evangelize, promote stewardship, and engage people if used creatively and appropriately.
The document discusses the concepts of stewardship and discipleship. It provides Catholic teachings on stewardship, including that it is a way of life involving gratitude and sharing of time, talents and treasure.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Editor's Notes
Total giving for 2007 is estimated to be $306.39 billion. This is an increase of 3.9 percent (1.0 percent adjusted for inflation) compared with the revised estimate of $294.91 for 2006. Revisions to 2006 are presented online at www.givingusa.org. Gifts from individuals are estimated to be $229.03 billion (74.8 percent of the total). Gifts from charitable bequests (realized planned gifts) are estimated to be $23.15 billion (7.6 percent of the total). Combined, individual giving and charitable bequests are estimated to be $252.18 (82.3 percent of the total). Foundation grantmaking reached an estimated $38.52 billion (12.6 percent of the total). This is the highest percentage ever attributable to foundations. The change reflects that a portion of personal giving is now often done through family foundations. Corporate giving is estimated to be $15.69 (5.1 percent of total giving).
Giving to religion reached $102.32 billion in 2007, which is 33.4 percent of total estimated giving. Gifts to educational institutions are an estimated $43.32 billion, or 14.1 percent of the total. Human services organizations received an estimated $29.64 billion, which is 9.7 percent of the total. Health organizations received an estimated $23.15 billion, or 7.6 percent of the total. Public-society benefit organizations received an estimated $22.65 billion, which is 7.4 percent of the total. Arts, culture, and humanities organizations received an estimated $13.67 billion, which is 4.5 percent of the total. Organizations in the international affairs subsector (which includes aid, relief, and more) received an estimated $13.22 billion, which is 4.3 percent of the total. Environment and animal-related charities received an estimated $6.96 billion, or 2.3 percent of the total. Gifts to grantmaking foundations (independent, community, and operating foundations) are estimated to be $27.73 billion in 2007, or 9.1 percent of the total. A portion of giving is unallocated. This includes gifts to new organizations and to trusts, gifts to government agencies, differences in fiscal year and calendar year reporting, and deductions carried over from prior years.
