CORPORATE TRAINING 2
Corporate Training
Today, managers need well-trained employees and are finding they do not exist.
Corporations are, therefore, providing additional training for their employees. One such training
program that is being added to corporate learning environments is an awareness of emotional
intelligence. Business managers are learning that successful managers need high Emotional
Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence (EI) to work effectively. Emotional intelligence is the
ability to accurately perceive emotions in self and others, to identify different emotional
responses, and to use emotional information to make intelligent decisions (Goleman, 2000). A
leading expert on EQ finds that “people good at managing relationships tend also to be self-
aware, self-regulating, and empathetic” (Goleman, 2000, p. 33). Emotional intelligence is
especially important “at the highest levels of the company, where differences in technical skills
are of little importance. In other words, the higher the rank of the person, the more emotional
intelligence capabilities are needed for decision making effectiveness” (Goleman, 1986, p. 94).
Emotional intelligence is crucial to a successful business career and for effective group
performance (Goleman, 1986). The core competencies required for emotional intelligence are
“the perception of emotions in one’s self and others, the understanding of these emotions, and
the management of emotions” (Feldman, 2001, ¶ 4). Success in the modern workplace requires
teamwork and collaboration. Emotional Intelligence training is essential since most modern

Introduction
Demand on managers, employees and executives of enterprises around the world progressively increase and is hypothesized that most emotional intelligence will increasingly participate in a relevant role in the success of a business. The main purpose of this literature is to gain educational knowledge of emotional intelligence, its main importance and exploring the emotional intelligence strategies used by business leaders in the United States to enhance effective team communication. Emotional intelligence is a type of shared intelligence that incorporates monitoring emotions and feelings of an individual as well as that of others, followed by using the data to offer guidance on individual thinking and actions. Emotional intelligence in leaders incorporates understanding their feelings, showing empathy to others as well as regulating individual; emotions to enhance the quality of work in the organization. Emotional intelligence impacts the effectiveness of communication among project team members.
Literature review
Goleman et al. (2015) explain that the main tasks around leadership incorporate generating job passion, creating an atmosphere that encourages cooperation and attaining harmony amid financial and human factors of the organization agenda, which can be achieved through relevant emotional intelligence. Cloud (2016) adds that a complete performance picture ranges from achieving results as well as return on investment to achieving commitment and trust. Kouzes and Posner (2018) explain that if people fail to believe in the person giving information, then they will not even believe the message given by that person. If there is no trust, leaders might not even achieve their vision no matter how important or true the information might be since the data will not be embraced as intended, hence the commitment required will not achieve the organization requirement.
Leaders require emotional intelligence to gain their full potential to achieve their predetermined goals and objectives. Leadership is not something you carry out on people, but it is something that you do with followers. Before understanding others, leaders work on understanding themselves, their behaviors, values goals and objectives. The main leadership instrument is the mastery of leadership starts with mastery of oneself. Self-knowledge is the best tool for transformation in an organization (Goleman, 2018). Understanding individual values and character is an act of emotional intelligence.
There are four main factors for emotional intelligence, as explained by Nguyen et al. (2019) include "self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management." These are the strategies that most of the United States management use to enhance effective communication amid the team members. Self-awareness incorporates sel.

Coaching
Coaching
and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.
Assignment 1 The Role of the Leader and the VisionIn this modul.docxdeanmtaylor1545
Assignment 1: The Role of the Leader and the Vision
In this module, you reviewed the role of organizational visions and the role of the leader with respect to the vision. When leaders are aware of their mental models and leadership skills, they are more equipped to recognize their connection to the vision and engage team members in a shared vision.
Use resources from professional literature in your research.
academic articles regarding the role of the leader and the vision of an organization. On the basis of your research and experience, in a minimum of 400 words, respond to the following points:
· Discuss at least three action items related to your organization's vision.
· Discuss how the organizational vision can influence ethics in an organization. How does modeling relate to the vision?
· Relate your discussion post to your professional and personal experiences, as applicable.
Designing the perfect leader
Understanding the roles of professionalism and personality
Review
One of the perennial challenges facing leaders is which side of the fence they sit on
regarding the “personality versus process” debate. Typically, one group of leaders will
firmly believe in the cult of personality, and will trust in their own vision and their will to
impose it on their organization. However, in the other camp, there will be those who believe
it is all about process and control, that “what can’t be measured, can’t be managed”. Sadly,
the greater challenge is often missed, which is not how you implement one over the other
but how you reconcile them.
No matter how clear a vision or policy the person at the top has, they are dealing with
people, and people will blur the edges, whatever the prevailing ethos. For example,
imagine that a company has a choice of candidates for a new Chief Executive officer
(CEO). One has a high achieving record as a finance director exerting complete control
over their divisional; the other is equally well qualified, but as a creative director in the
marketing division. Who will lead the company most effectively? Or more pertinently, who
will be able to dovetail the two key drivers of professionalism and personality?
Horns of a dilemma
This decision relates directly to the nub of the argument for an article by Mastrangelo et al.
(2014) entitled “The relationship between enduring leadership and organizational
performance”. In the paper, the authors seek to explore the effect of professional
leadership behaviors (task-oriented, setting up processes) and personal leadership
behaviors (people-oriented, trust-building) on the intentions of employees to cooperate.
The central thesis held by the authors is that employee intentions are controlled by
professional leadership, but this is done through the existence of personal leadership
behaviors.
Enduring leadership
Let us take the example, then, of the new CEO of the company above, where the Board
decided they needed someone who exhibited primarily professional leadership.

Coaching
Coaching
and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.

Assignment 1: The Role of the Leader and the Vision
In this module, you reviewed the role of organizational visions and the role of the leader with respect to the vision. When leaders are aware of their mental models and leadership skills, they are more equipped to recognize their connection to the vision and engage team members in a shared vision.
Use resources from professional literature in your research.
academic articles regarding the role of the leader and the vision of an organization. On the basis of your research and experience, in a minimum of 400 words, respond to the following points:
· Discuss at least three action items related to your organization's vision.
· Discuss how the organizational vision can influence ethics in an organization. How does modeling relate to the vision?
· Relate your discussion post to your professional and personal experiences, as applicable.
Designing the perfect leader
Understanding the roles of professionalism and personality
Review
One of the perennial challenges facing leaders is which side of the fence they sit on
regarding the “personality versus process” debate. Typically, one group of leaders will
firmly believe in the cult of personality, and will trust in their own vision and their will to
impose it on their organization. However, in the other camp, there will be those who believe
it is all about process and control, that “what can’t be measured, can’t be managed”. Sadly,
the greater challenge is often missed, which is not how you implement one over the other
but how you reconcile them.
No matter how clear a vision or policy the person at the top has, they are dealing with
people, and people will blur the edges, whatever the prevailing ethos. For example,
imagine that a company has a choice of candidates for a new Chief Executive officer
(CEO). One has a high achieving record as a finance director exerting complete control
over their divisional; the other is equally well qualified, but as a creative director in the
marketing division. Who will lead the company most effectively? Or more pertinently, who
will be able to dovetail the two key drivers of professionalism and personality?
Horns of a dilemma
This decision relates directly to the nub of the argument for an article by Mastrangelo et al.
(2014) entitled “The relationship between enduring leadership and organizational
performance”. In the paper, the authors seek to explore the effect of professional
leadership behaviors (task-oriented, setting up processes) and personal leadership
behaviors (people-oriented, trust-building) on the intentions of employees to cooperate.
The central thesis held by the authors is that employee intentions are controlled by
professional leadership, but this is done through the existence of personal leadership
behaviors.
Enduring leadership
Let us take the example, then, of the new CEO of the company above, where the Board
decided they needed someone who exhibited primarily professional leadership.
Peak Performance
Assignment Overview
Hallowell (2011) explains, “What I mean by peak performance—and what most of us seek in our lives and what managers wish to help their people achieve—is consistent excellence with improvement over time at a specific task or set of tasks.” He further asserts, “Those three factors—excellence, consistency, and ongoing improvement—define peak performance for my purposes” (p. 32). Managers should always be on the lookout for employees who just don’t “fit in” with the organization’s culture. Hallowell (2011) explains, “you can tell a person is not in the right role if he feels no enthusiasm for what he’s doing, if his mind never lights up, if he never gets excited about his job, if he chronically complains” and further states, “This doesn’t mean he’s a dull person or that the line of work he has chosen is intrinsically dull, just that he’s not assigned to the right task” (p. 47). Being assigned the right tasks and then being responsible for those tasks relates to the “division of labor” concept coined by Adam Smith (1776). Hallowell (2011) explains, “The goal is for employees to spend as much time as possible at the intersection of three spheres: what they like to do, what they are most skilled at doing, and what adds value to the project or organization” (p. 49). For peak performance or enhancing productivity levels, many would argue that specific tasks should be assigned to specific individuals with specific skills. Strategic leaders are known for being able to quickly match skills to tasks.
HR managers need to understand the importance of employees having fun while at work. Many organizations are highly task oriented and forget the importance of being relationship oriented. Hallowell (2011) explains, “One way you can tell if your employees are in alignment with the Cycle of Excellence is to see if they are having fun” (p. 47). For example, some modern managers see the value of having fun at work or even taking time off from work to just relax and reflect. For example, Bill Gates is famous “for taking seven days off, twice a year, in a secluded cabin where he reads, drinks diet Orange Crush, and thinks” (p. 131).
Hallowell (2011) provides the following recommendation for managers, “Consider having a goofy day of some sort now and then. It must conform to the basic rules and values of your organization’s culture, of course. But make it fun” (p. 129). By having a goofy day at work or dressing up for certain holidays, employees are able to have some fun, which also relieves stress. Hallowell (2011) explains, “Effective management limits bad stress as much as possible, while promoting good stress in the form of surmountable challenges” (p. 143). Effective managers also understand the importance of recognizing employees for their daily contributions. Hallowell (2011) states, “Recognition is so powerful because it answers a fundamental human need, the need to feel valued for what we do. Managers are in a unique posi.
A STUDY ON THE NUMEROUS ELEMENTS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND LEADERSHIP QUA...IAEME Publication
The purpose of emotional intelligence is felt necessary because it is an unseen
attribute of each and every person which needs to be identified and evaluated as per the
needs of certain task, activity and event, where one is involved. The proposed research
project aims at exploring the concept of emotional intelligence and its impacts on
leadership and teamwork effectiveness. Like other competitive skills and personality
aspects the notion of EI has attracted enormous popularity at academic and
organizational levels. Academic institutions endeavour to develop emotionally
intelligent students in order to prepare them for working effectively in their work
environment. On the other hand different organizations are more inclined towards
recruiting EI employees as trainers, and making investments in hiring EI professional
staff and providing training to their existing workforce in order to achieve competitive
edge in today’s competitive work environment. Despite gaining such an enormous
popularity the subject of EI remained controversial and debates exist among different
scholars and researchers on different aspects of EI.The paper is focusing on the impact
of emotional intelligence and knowledge management on leadership qualities.For this
purpose two researchers have conducted a comprehensive study of the existing
literature on the subject matter that covers; an analysis of the existing models of EI;
review of debates and controversies that exist among the scholars on the subject; and
different strategies through which EI can be developed on academic and organizational
context.

BUSI 340-B05
DB 1: Values
Definition: Organizational Behavior states, “Values are relatively stable, evaluative beliefs that guides our preferences for outcomes or courses of action in a variety of situations. Values help us know what is right or wrong, or good or bad, in the world” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 15-16).
Summary: The article entitled “Business Values Lead to Profits? Let’s Prove It” written by Paul Spiegelman confronts the issue on a company’s values and overall purpose. Throughout this article Paul discusses the importance of forming clear-cut values and a foundational purpose in a business. He lists four monumental benefits a business could inherit through forming a business model based on values and purpose. Companies with a clear and concrete values model allow a business to, plot your team’s course, define decision-making, resolve conflicts and lead to increased profitability.
Discussion: I can’t begin to explain the monumental impact that values have on a business. The world operates on and by the decisions of others; every decision has an impact on someone’s life and even by not making a decision a decision is formed. “The stakeholder perspective states that to manage the interests of diverse stakeholders, leaders ultimately need to rely on their personal and organizational values for guidance” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 15). In the Organizational Behavior text we read about values anchoring our thoughts and motivating our actions, not just as an individual but also as groups of people. Do any of you enjoy working on something that is meaningless? When I am apart of something that I hold dear to my heart and value, I enjoy it. Can you imagine what working at an office that shared common values to you would be like? I can imagine it would feel like you were never working. When companies post their values and purpose you get a glimpse into the little world they are trying to create. Think about it, no one creates a company just to create a company; there is always an initial purpose in creating something. As a future employee I want a company to value what I value in my life. Their can’t be anything worse in this world then doing something that you were not designed to do. First of all, you would be miserable and second of all, you would never get anything done. How many of you struggle with mathematics and then decide to change your major to mathematics? No one would ever do that, because people are passionate about ...
There have been many illuminating debates over the years conce.docxrelaine1
There have been many illuminating debates over the years concerning the differences or
similarities of leadership and management. Many people would argue that there are major
differences in the concepts and precepts of leadership and management because you lead and
love people from the emotional state of mind (heart) and manage processes, ideas, and things
through a logical state of mind (head). Having said this, one could postulate that leadership and
management debates will probably continue well into the future because the opposing
differences in philosophical viewpoints are based on unique organizational dynamics.
Sometimes you hear the expression “natural-born leader.” Leadership is a learned process, but
people must be born with the ability to absorb and apply the leadership concepts they have
learned. UNIT VII STUDY GUIDE Developing Leaders MHR 6551, Training and Development 2
UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title Those who have served as leaders and managers for many years
are oftentimes inclined to believe that there are similarities as well as differences in leadership
and management. Equally important, experience has proven that in some cases leadership and
management overlap because organizations are composed of behavior (emotional) and task
(production) relationships. However, some do not believe that they are one and the same. Some
similarities of leadership and management are that they are both influential, work with others,
and work towards meeting the organizational goals (Northouse, 2010). Leadership and
management skills are required to be an effective leader. Moye (2004) echoed this point by
stating that not only are the best leaders good managers, but the strongest managers are also
great leaders. It is also important to note that managing is a subset of leading, meaning that
management is just one part of leadership. She went on to say that managers have authority
with employees or projects, whereas leaders motivate those people and projects (Moye, 2004).
Warren Bennis is famous for his one-liners about leadership and management. His one-liners
demonstrate that the differences between managers and leaders. While managers enforce the
expectations, leaders are inspiring and innovative. If you are interested in studying Bennis
further, consider reading his book listed in the Suggested Readings. Remember that
management is a subset of leading. It is the leaders who grow and develop as well as motivate
and connect with their employees. Management, on the other hand, enforces and maintains
guidelines and rules. However, it is important to note that Northouse (2004) stated that effective
organizations need to nourish competent management and leadership skills. Briner and
Pritchard (1997) stated that leaders lead and managers manage. Interestingly, they also stated
that often one person will fill both roles in an organization. Many believe that not all managers
can be considered leaders, and that while there a.

Cosmetics as endocrine disruptors: are they a health risk?
Polyxeni Nicolopoulou-Stamati1 & Luc Hens2 & Annie J. Sasco3
Published online: 29 January 2016
# Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016
Abstract Exposure to chemicals from different sources in
everyday life is widespread; one such source is the wide range
of products listed under the title Bcosmetics^, including the
different types of popular and widely-advertised sunscreens.
Women are encouraged through advertising to buy into the
myth of everlasting youth, and one of the most alarming con-
sequences is in utero exposure to chemicals. The main route of
exposure is the skin, but the main endpoint of exposure is
endocrine disruption. This is due to many substances in cos-
metics and sunscreens that have endocrine active properties
which affect reproductive health but which also have other
endpoints, such as cancer. Reducing the exposure to endocrine
disruptors is framed not only in the context of the reduction of
health risks, but is also significant against the background and
rise of ethical consumerism, and the responsibility of the cos-
metics industry in this respect. Although some plants show
endocrine-disrupting activity, the use of well-selected natural
products might reduce the use of synthetic chemicals.
Instruments dealing with this problem include life-cycle
analysis, eco-design, and green labels; in combination with
the committed use of environmental management systems,
they contribute to Bcorporate social responsibility .̂
Keywords Endocrine active substances . Endocrine
disruptors . Cosmetics . Sunscreens
1 Introduction
Women and men all over the world use large amount of cos-
metic products in pursuit of everlasting youth, ignoring the
probable health risks. The commercial category of Bcosmetic
products^ entails substances or mixtures of substances that are
designed mainly for external use, for instance to improve the
appearance; clean; perfume; and sometimes protect as in the
case of sunscreens [1]. Many cosmetic products such as oils
and lipsticks contain UV filters, even though they are not
marketed under the term Bsunscreens^ or Bsun lotions^.
Cosmetic products contain active substances, preservatives
and also the so-called Bfragrances^ or Bperfumes^, the exact
composition of which remains a secret under the trade secret
standards [2].
Increasing scientific concern exists about the nature and the
safety of the ingredients used by the cosmetics industry re-
garding their endocrine-disrupting effects. Although numer-
ous studies have proved the endocrine-disrupting potential of
many ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates and UV filters,
and also their ability to cause reproductive impairments [3–6],
these substances are still extensively used and characterized as
Bsafe^. The main justification is the fact that manufacturers
keep the concentrations of the suspected chemical substances
low in accordance with the relevant legislation. However, the

Correlation and RegressionForecasting is a critical job for mana.docxvoversbyobersby
Correlation and Regression
Forecasting is a critical job for managers. Correlation and regression are two statistical methods used by managers for forecasting.
Correlation allows you to quantify how closely two variables are related. The correlation values or correlation coefficients have a range between -1.0 and +1.0. The closer the value is to the absolute value of 1, the stronger the correlation. The negative or positive sign indicates if the variables have a negative or positive correlation. A positive correlation exists when both variables increase or decrease. A negative correlation exists when one variable increases while the other variable decreases. If the two variables are independent and have no relationship, then the correlation is 0.
Be careful not to confuse correlation and causality. For instance, you can be reasonably sure that higher distribution and lower prices both cause higher sales; however, there are many things in this world that are correlated mathematically but are not at all related.
Regression is a statistical technique that lets you construct an equation to describe the relationship between the movements of two variables. On a scatter plot, the regression equation would calculate the best-fit line through the points. Regression allows you to forecast and simulate different scenarios by ascertaining the relationship between causes and effects. The causes are known as independent variables or drivers. The effects are known as dependent variables or what is being forecast.
You need to have a sufficient amount of history for the dependent variable and all the independent variables that you might think are useful in predicting the dependent variable to build a regression model. The minimum number of observations required is generally between 20 and 30. A key concept for regression is that it uses the past to predict the future. It assumes that relationships between historical dependent and independent variables will hold true for present of future dependent and independent variables.
There is an extension to the regression model, known as the multiple regression model. Adding another independent variable to a regression model turns it into a multiple regression model. The equation can become quite complex when more than two independent variables are added to the model, but these equations are rarely calculated by hand. Most commercial spreadsheet, accounting, and statistics software include these in their function library.

1 The Role of the Correctional Counselor
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
After reading this chapter, you will be able to:
· 1. Identify the functions and parameters of the counseling process.
· 2. Discuss the competing interests between security and counseling in the correctional counseling process.
· 3. Know common terms and concerns associated with custodial corrections.
· 4. Understand the role of the counselor as facilitator.
· 5. Identify the various personal characteristics associated with effective counselors.
· 6. Be aware of the impact that burnout can have on a counselor’s professional performance.
· 7. Identify the various means of training and supervision associated with counseling.
PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS
There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders.
It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and emotional problems (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). Around the same time (1890), Sigmund Freud began treating mental patients with his patented technique of psychoanalysis. As a result, the origins of counseling can be traced to two different but simultaneous movements: (1) guidance and (2) psychotherapy.
Guidance
Guidance has been used as a concept to describe the process of helping individuals identify and choose what they value most (Gladding, 1996). Guidance can occur in any instance where one individual, usually more experienced, helps another to identify choices that best refle.

Peak Performance
Assignment Overview
Hallowell (2011) explains, “What I mean by peak performance—and what most of us seek in our lives and what managers wish to help their people achieve—is consistent excellence with improvement over time at a specific task or set of tasks.” He further asserts, “Those three factors—excellence, consistency, and ongoing improvement—define peak performance for my purposes” (p. 32). Managers should always be on the lookout for employees who just don’t “fit in” with the organization’s culture. Hallowell (2011) explains, “you can tell a person is not in the right role if he feels no enthusiasm for what he’s doing, if his mind never lights up, if he never gets excited about his job, if he chronically complains” and further states, “This doesn’t mean he’s a dull person or that the line of work he has chosen is intrinsically dull, just that he’s not assigned to the right task” (p. 47). Being assigned the right tasks and then being responsible for those tasks relates to the “division of labor” concept coined by Adam Smith (1776). Hallowell (2011) explains, “The goal is for employees to spend as much time as possible at the intersection of three spheres: what they like to do, what they are most skilled at doing, and what adds value to the project or organization” (p. 49). For peak performance or enhancing productivity levels, many would argue that specific tasks should be assigned to specific individuals with specific skills. Strategic leaders are known for being able to quickly match skills to tasks.
HR managers need to understand the importance of employees having fun while at work. Many organizations are highly task oriented and forget the importance of being relationship oriented. Hallowell (2011) explains, “One way you can tell if your employees are in alignment with the Cycle of Excellence is to see if they are having fun” (p. 47). For example, some modern managers see the value of having fun at work or even taking time off from work to just relax and reflect. For example, Bill Gates is famous “for taking seven days off, twice a year, in a secluded cabin where he reads, drinks diet Orange Crush, and thinks” (p. 131).
Hallowell (2011) provides the following recommendation for managers, “Consider having a goofy day of some sort now and then. It must conform to the basic rules and values of your organization’s culture, of course. But make it fun” (p. 129). By having a goofy day at work or dressing up for certain holidays, employees are able to have some fun, which also relieves stress. Hallowell (2011) explains, “Effective management limits bad stress as much as possible, while promoting good stress in the form of surmountable challenges” (p. 143). Effective managers also understand the importance of recognizing employees for their daily contributions. Hallowell (2011) states, “Recognition is so powerful because it answers a fundamental human need, the need to feel valued for what we do. Managers are in a unique posi.
A STUDY ON THE NUMEROUS ELEMENTS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND LEADERSHIP QUA...IAEME Publication
The purpose of emotional intelligence is felt necessary because it is an unseen
attribute of each and every person which needs to be identified and evaluated as per the
needs of certain task, activity and event, where one is involved. The proposed research
project aims at exploring the concept of emotional intelligence and its impacts on
leadership and teamwork effectiveness. Like other competitive skills and personality
aspects the notion of EI has attracted enormous popularity at academic and
organizational levels. Academic institutions endeavour to develop emotionally
intelligent students in order to prepare them for working effectively in their work
environment. On the other hand different organizations are more inclined towards
recruiting EI employees as trainers, and making investments in hiring EI professional
staff and providing training to their existing workforce in order to achieve competitive
edge in today’s competitive work environment. Despite gaining such an enormous
popularity the subject of EI remained controversial and debates exist among different
scholars and researchers on different aspects of EI.The paper is focusing on the impact
of emotional intelligence and knowledge management on leadership qualities.For this
purpose two researchers have conducted a comprehensive study of the existing
literature on the subject matter that covers; an analysis of the existing models of EI;
review of debates and controversies that exist among the scholars on the subject; and
different strategies through which EI can be developed on academic and organizational
context.

DB 1: Values
Definition: Organizational Behavior states, “Values are relatively stable, evaluative beliefs that guides our preferences for outcomes or courses of action in a variety of situations. Values help us know what is right or wrong, or good or bad, in the world” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 15-16).
Summary: The article entitled “Business Values Lead to Profits? Let’s Prove It” written by Paul Spiegelman confronts the issue on a company’s values and overall purpose. Throughout this article Paul discusses the importance of forming clear-cut values and a foundational purpose in a business. He lists four monumental benefits a business could inherit through forming a business model based on values and purpose. Companies with a clear and concrete values model allow a business to, plot your team’s course, define decision-making, resolve conflicts and lead to increased profitability.
Discussion: I can’t begin to explain the monumental impact that values have on a business. The world operates on and by the decisions of others; every decision has an impact on someone’s life and even by not making a decision a decision is formed. “The stakeholder perspective states that to manage the interests of diverse stakeholders, leaders ultimately need to rely on their personal and organizational values for guidance” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2008, p. 15). In the Organizational Behavior text we read about values anchoring our thoughts and motivating our actions, not just as an individual but also as groups of people. Do any of you enjoy working on something that is meaningless? When I am apart of something that I hold dear to my heart and value, I enjoy it. Can you imagine what working at an office that shared common values to you would be like? I can imagine it would feel like you were never working. When companies post their values and purpose you get a glimpse into the little world they are trying to create. Think about it, no one creates a company just to create a company; there is always an initial purpose in creating something. As a future employee I want a company to value what I value in my life. Their can’t be anything worse in this world then doing something that you were not designed to do. First of all, you would be miserable and second of all, you would never get anything done. How many of you struggle with mathematics and then decide to change your major to mathematics? No one would ever do that, because people are passionate about ...
There have been many illuminating debates over the years conce.docxrelaine1
There have been many illuminating debates over the years concerning the differences or
similarities of leadership and management. Many people would argue that there are major
differences in the concepts and precepts of leadership and management because you lead and
love people from the emotional state of mind (heart) and manage processes, ideas, and things
through a logical state of mind (head). Having said this, one could postulate that leadership and
management debates will probably continue well into the future because the opposing
differences in philosophical viewpoints are based on unique organizational dynamics.
Sometimes you hear the expression “natural-born leader.” Leadership is a learned process, but
people must be born with the ability to absorb and apply the leadership concepts they have
learned. UNIT VII STUDY GUIDE Developing Leaders MHR 6551, Training and Development 2
UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title Those who have served as leaders and managers for many years
are oftentimes inclined to believe that there are similarities as well as differences in leadership
and management. Equally important, experience has proven that in some cases leadership and
management overlap because organizations are composed of behavior (emotional) and task
(production) relationships. However, some do not believe that they are one and the same. Some
similarities of leadership and management are that they are both influential, work with others,
and work towards meeting the organizational goals (Northouse, 2010). Leadership and
management skills are required to be an effective leader. Moye (2004) echoed this point by
stating that not only are the best leaders good managers, but the strongest managers are also
great leaders. It is also important to note that managing is a subset of leading, meaning that
management is just one part of leadership. She went on to say that managers have authority
with employees or projects, whereas leaders motivate those people and projects (Moye, 2004).
Warren Bennis is famous for his one-liners about leadership and management. His one-liners
demonstrate that the differences between managers and leaders. While managers enforce the
expectations, leaders are inspiring and innovative. If you are interested in studying Bennis
further, consider reading his book listed in the Suggested Readings. Remember that
management is a subset of leading. It is the leaders who grow and develop as well as motivate
and connect with their employees. Management, on the other hand, enforces and maintains
guidelines and rules. However, it is important to note that Northouse (2004) stated that effective
organizations need to nourish competent management and leadership skills. Briner and
Pritchard (1997) stated that leaders lead and managers manage. Interestingly, they also stated
that often one person will fill both roles in an organization. Many believe that not all managers
can be considered leaders, and that while there a.

Cosmetics as endocrine disruptors: are they a health risk?
Polyxeni Nicolopoulou-Stamati1 & Luc Hens2 & Annie J. Sasco3
Published online: 29 January 2016
# Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016
Abstract Exposure to chemicals from different sources in
everyday life is widespread; one such source is the wide range
of products listed under the title Bcosmetics^, including the
different types of popular and widely-advertised sunscreens.
Women are encouraged through advertising to buy into the
myth of everlasting youth, and one of the most alarming con-
sequences is in utero exposure to chemicals. The main route of
exposure is the skin, but the main endpoint of exposure is
endocrine disruption. This is due to many substances in cos-
metics and sunscreens that have endocrine active properties
which affect reproductive health but which also have other
endpoints, such as cancer. Reducing the exposure to endocrine
disruptors is framed not only in the context of the reduction of
health risks, but is also significant against the background and
rise of ethical consumerism, and the responsibility of the cos-
metics industry in this respect. Although some plants show
endocrine-disrupting activity, the use of well-selected natural
products might reduce the use of synthetic chemicals.
Instruments dealing with this problem include life-cycle
analysis, eco-design, and green labels; in combination with
the committed use of environmental management systems,
they contribute to Bcorporate social responsibility .̂
Keywords Endocrine active substances . Endocrine
disruptors . Cosmetics . Sunscreens
1 Introduction
Women and men all over the world use large amount of cos-
metic products in pursuit of everlasting youth, ignoring the
probable health risks. The commercial category of Bcosmetic
products^ entails substances or mixtures of substances that are
designed mainly for external use, for instance to improve the
appearance; clean; perfume; and sometimes protect as in the
case of sunscreens [1]. Many cosmetic products such as oils
and lipsticks contain UV filters, even though they are not
marketed under the term Bsunscreens^ or Bsun lotions^.
Cosmetic products contain active substances, preservatives
and also the so-called Bfragrances^ or Bperfumes^, the exact
composition of which remains a secret under the trade secret
standards [2].
Increasing scientific concern exists about the nature and the
safety of the ingredients used by the cosmetics industry re-
garding their endocrine-disrupting effects. Although numer-
ous studies have proved the endocrine-disrupting potential of
many ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates and UV filters,
and also their ability to cause reproductive impairments [3–6],
these substances are still extensively used and characterized as
Bsafe^. The main justification is the fact that manufacturers
keep the concentrations of the suspected chemical substances
low in accordance with the relevant legislation. However, the

Correlation and RegressionForecasting is a critical job for mana.docxvoversbyobersby
Correlation and Regression
Forecasting is a critical job for managers. Correlation and regression are two statistical methods used by managers for forecasting.
Correlation allows you to quantify how closely two variables are related. The correlation values or correlation coefficients have a range between -1.0 and +1.0. The closer the value is to the absolute value of 1, the stronger the correlation. The negative or positive sign indicates if the variables have a negative or positive correlation. A positive correlation exists when both variables increase or decrease. A negative correlation exists when one variable increases while the other variable decreases. If the two variables are independent and have no relationship, then the correlation is 0.
Be careful not to confuse correlation and causality. For instance, you can be reasonably sure that higher distribution and lower prices both cause higher sales; however, there are many things in this world that are correlated mathematically but are not at all related.
Regression is a statistical technique that lets you construct an equation to describe the relationship between the movements of two variables. On a scatter plot, the regression equation would calculate the best-fit line through the points. Regression allows you to forecast and simulate different scenarios by ascertaining the relationship between causes and effects. The causes are known as independent variables or drivers. The effects are known as dependent variables or what is being forecast.
You need to have a sufficient amount of history for the dependent variable and all the independent variables that you might think are useful in predicting the dependent variable to build a regression model. The minimum number of observations required is generally between 20 and 30. A key concept for regression is that it uses the past to predict the future. It assumes that relationships between historical dependent and independent variables will hold true for present of future dependent and independent variables.
There is an extension to the regression model, known as the multiple regression model. Adding another independent variable to a regression model turns it into a multiple regression model. The equation can become quite complex when more than two independent variables are added to the model, but these equations are rarely calculated by hand. Most commercial spreadsheet, accounting, and statistics software include these in their function library.
Counselor Dispositional Expectations
Dispositions are the values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence behaviors toward others, and, if sincerely held, dispositions lead to actions and patterns of professional conduct. The Grand Canyon University Counseling Program’s dispositions adhere to the University’s mission statement, as well as to the established counseling profession codes of ethics.

PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS
There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders.
It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and emotional problems (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). Around the same time (1890), Sigmund Freud began treating mental patients with his patented technique of psychoanalysis. As a result, the origins of counseling can be traced to two different but simultaneous movements: (1) guidance and (2) psychotherapy.
Guidance
Guidance has been used as a concept to describe the process of helping individuals identify and choose what they value most (Gladding, 1996). Guidance can occur in any instance where one individual, usually more experienced, helps another to identify choices that best refle.

Problem 2
Stacey Small has a small salon that she has run for a few years as a sole proprietorship. The proprietorship uses the cash method of accounting and the calendar year as its tax year. Stacey needs additional capital for expansion and knows two people who might be interested in investing. One would like to practice hairdressing in the salon. The other would only invest.
Stacey wants to know the tax consequences of incorporating the business. Her business assets include a building, equipment, accounts receivable and cash. Liabilities include a mortgage on the building and a few accounts payable, which are deductible when paid.
Write a memo to Stacey explaining the tax consequences of the incorporation. As part of your memo examine the possibility of having the corporation issue common and preferred stock and debt for the shareholders’ property and money.
Problem 3
Five years ago, Lacey, Kaylee, and Doug organized a software corporation, DLK, which develops and sells Online Meetings software for businesses. DLK is a C corporation. Each individual contributed $10,000 to the company in exchange for 1,000 shares of DLK stock (for a total of 3,000 shares). The corporation also borrowed $250,000 from ACME Venture Capital to finance operating costs and capital expenditures.
Because of intense competition, DLK struggled for the first few years of operation and the corporation sustained chronic losses. This year, Lacey, DLK’s president, decided to seek additional funds to finance DLK’s working capital.
CME declined to extend additional funds because of the money already invested in DLK. High Tech Venture Capital Inc. proposed to lend DLK $100,000, but at a 10% premium over the prime rate. (Other software manufacturers in the same market can borrow at a 3% premium.) First Round Capital proposed to invest $50,000 of equity capital into DLK, but on the condition that the investment firm be granted the right to elect five members to DLK’s board of directors. Discouraged by the “high cost” of external borrowing, Lacey decides to approach Kaylee and Doug.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Corporate Training
Today, managers need well-trained employees and are finding
they do not exist.
Corporations are, therefore, providing additional training for
their employees. One such training
program that is being added to corporate learning environments
is an awareness of emotional
4. intelligence. Business managers are learning that successful
managers need high Emotional
Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence (EI) to work
effectively. Emotional intelligence is the
ability to accurately perceive emotions in self and others, to
identify different emotional
responses, and to use emotional information to make intelligent
decisions (Goleman, 2000). A
leading expert on EQ finds that “people good at managing
relationships tend also to be self-
aware, self-regulating, and empathetic” (Goleman, 2000, p. 33).
Emotional intelligence is
especially important “at the highest levels of the company,
where differences in technical skills
are of little importance. In other words, the higher the rank of
the person, the more emotional
intelligence capabilities are needed for decision making
effectiveness” (Goleman, 1986, p. 94).
Emotional intelligence is crucial to a successful business
career and for effective group
performance (Goleman, 1986). The core competencies required
for emotional intelligence are
“the perception of emotions in one’s self and others, the
understanding of these emotions, and
5. the management of emotions” (Feldman, 2001, ¶ 4). Success in
the modern workplace requires
teamwork and collaboration. Emotional Intelligence training is

companies rely on teams of employees working together, rather
than on the action of individual
managers working in isolation (Ganzel, 2001).
Several accredited universities are delivering EQ training.
Grossman states:
A current trend in education is to teach students about how their
emotional
intelligence can have a positive or negative effect on their
career. Many
universities are now offering courses in interpersonal
relationship and emotional
intelligence in an attempt to prepare students to be leaders.
Leaders cannot lead in
isolation, and an educational delivery system that features team
building and
collaboration are growing by the numbers. (2000,¶ 48)
8. Emotional intelligence skills are a crucial component for a
successful career in business.
We live in a time of rapid change and in a world of diversity.
The modern business environment
requires managers to have highly functioning intrapersonal,
interpersonal, and group skills.
Emotional Intelligence is important today, and will be even
more important in the future. As
more employees master emotional intelligence skills, a higher
functioning group emotional
intelligence should emerge. In response to this higher group EI,
individual employees will need
to keep refining their EI skills (Tucker, 2000).

Ethical Issues in Cyberspace:
Many experts believe the most important and critical issue
facing cyberspace and the internet is the lack of ethics among
13. cybersecurity professionals. There are a number of areas where
cybersecurity professional fall short, often times leading to the
loss of jobs, personal and professional reputation, and in some
cases criminal prosecution. However, sometimes there is a
difference between what is “legal” and what is “ethical”.
Discuss specific ethical issues facing cybersecurity
professionals. Develop a testable hypothesis regarding the
similarities and differences between ethical and legal conduct
by cybersecurity professionals. Discuss laws that are applicable
for cybersecurity professionals. Discuss the development of
rules of ethical conduct for cybersecurity professionals, and the
effectiveness of such rules.
