Making decisions and solving problems happen every day. There’s no way to avoid it. From the decision to rise in the morning to the decision go to bed at night, decisions are constantly being made; and, together with that, problems are frequently being solved. Often, the problems and decisions we are confronted with require a response that is both rational and well thought out. However, despite making decisions daily, many of us are still uncomfortable with making those important decisions.
Thankfully, our “Effective Problem Solving and Decision Making” training program can provide participants with the necessary skills in identifying problem causes, laying out options and making rational decisions. In this highly dynamic program, participants will learn about the problem solving and decision making process and structure, while being provided with tools to help them attack problems proactively and make timely decisions that help create value to your company and your customers. Participants will also utilize a five-step problem solving process in solving actual problems.
Furthermore, participant will discover that the same processes and tools they will use in this fun-filled training program can also be used to solve life problems and make life decisions. “Effective Problem Solving and Decision Making” are not just career skills; they’re life skills.

–Teaching English for the learners pursuing a
course in Engineering does not involve just the LSRW
skills. As it is a course in ESP, more specifically, EST
(English for Science and Technology), we as teachers are
more concerned of equipping them with the skills required
to face the challenges of their profession. The learners
have to face a cut-throat competition as the number of
learners puruing a course in Engineering is increasing year
by year and the companies rely on the professionals for an
extra edge of human skills. The selection process for a job
involves a screening test based on Group Discussions.
These discussions test the soft skills or human skills of the
candidates which are mainly based on their thinking
abilities. A problem is given to them and they are asked to
come to a common consensus as a team. The candidates
are required to employ creative thinking, divergent
thinking, logical reasoning, critical analysis etc. to
perform effectively. Till their graduation, the learners are
used to rote-learning from the (written) examination point
of view. The learners should be explained the importance
of thinking and brain storming at this stage. This paper is
based on the study undertaken by the researcher to
develop the thinking skills of the I year learners pursuing
a course in Engineering.

Post #1Charismatic leaders are essentially very skilled commun.docxharrisonhoward80223
Post #1
Charismatic leaders are essentially very skilled communicators. They understand how to verbally express their thoughts and ideas to their followers on a deep, emotional level. They are able to articulate a compelling or captivating vision, and are able to arouse strong emotions in followers. Charisma is what helps leaders gain the love and support of their followers. They understand how to “work the room” while giving a speech. They pay much attention to the person they are talking to at any one moment, making that person feel like they are, for that time, the most important person in the world. Charismatic Leaders pay a great deal of attention in scanning and reading their environment, and are good at picking up the moods and concerns of both individuals and larger audiences. They then will hone their actions and words to suit the situation.
With communication being a prime trait for the charismatic leader, one way to develop this skill in through practice with public speaking. For example, charismatic leaders such as Obama or Martin Luther King Jr. were masters of public speaking. This is because leadership is a public act. Individuals have to be comfortable standing in front of large or small audiences and speaking with knowledge as well as conviction. This may take some time to practice and develop, especially for individuals who are introverted or have anxiety for public speaking. There are several communication training courses that can help sharpen the skill of public speaking but I believe that the most skill will come from getting comfortable with providing speeches. The more experience one gains from delivering speeches will help to build individual style.

Charisma “the ability to communicate a clear, visionary, and inspirational message that captivates and motivates an audience” (Antonakis, Feneley, & Liechti 2012, p. 127). It is important to leadership because as a leader you should be able to persuade others, be able to use powerful and reasoned rhetoric, establish personal and moral credibility, and then rouse followers’ emotions and passions. “If a leader can do those three things well, he or she can then tap into the hopes and ideals of followers, give them a sense of purpose and inspire them to achieve great things” (Antonakis, et al, 2012, p. 127). I do agree that charisma can be learned, to some, charisma is something that comes easy to them due to their personality, they are extroverts, however to those who are introverts and being charismatic does not come naturally, the trait can be learned through the right training. This has been studied by Antonakis, et al, 2012, who trained leaders on charismatic leade.
Write an essay describing the differences between socialism and free market e...intel-writers.com
Socialism:
Collective ownership: In socialism, the means of production, such as factories and land, are owned and controlled by the state or the community as a whole.
Central planning: Economic planning is typically centralized, with the government playing a significant role in determining production, allocation of resources, and distribution of goods and services.
Income redistribution: Socialism aims to reduce income inequalities by redistributing wealth and ensuring equal access to resources and opportunities.
Social welfare: Socialism often emphasizes the provision of public services, such as healthcare, education, and social security, to ensure the well-being of all citizens.
Limited market forces: Prices and production are often regulated by the government, and the influence of market forces on resource allocation is diminished.
Free Market Economy:
Private ownership: In a free market economy, private individuals or businesses own and control the means of production, allowing for individual initiative and entrepreneurship.
Market-driven allocation: Resource allocation is primarily determined by supply and demand forces in the market. Prices are determined through voluntary exchanges between buyers and sellers.
Competition and profit motive: Free market economies encourage competition among businesses to improve efficiency and innovation. The pursuit of profit serves as a driving force for economic activity.
Minimal government intervention: The role of the government in a free market economy is typically limited to enforcing property rights, ensuring fair competition, and maintaining market stability.
Individual freedom and choice: Individuals have the freedom to make economic decisions, such as what to produce, consume, or invest in, based on their own preferences and self-interest.
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
