To achieve this, a case study research design was used and the sample of a sample of 39 persons were selected across the seven Sub Divisions of Fako. 15 workers with hearing impairment and 24 of their colleagues, made up the sample of the study. The sample emerged through the use of purposive and snowball sampling techniques. An interview guide and a focus group discussion guide were used for data collection. Interview and focus group discussion guides were analysed using the process of thematic analysis, whereby concepts or ideas were grouped under umbrella terms of key words with the support of Atlas Ti 5.2 Atlas Ti GMBH 2006 . The findings revealed that collaboration competencies play an important role to improve on the career development of workers with hearing impairment, by developing certain positive qualities in them such as flexibility, sociable, creativity, enjoy working together, collaborative working relationship, tolerant, demonstrative behaviour, the ability to understand others, the ability to be patient, to be empathetic, to be curious, the ability to manage change and the ability to understand oneself.

Polymers are macromolecules formed by linking together small repeating units called monomers. There are two main types of polymerization: addition and condensation. Addition polymers are formed without the elimination of small molecules when monomers containing carbon-carbon double bonds polymerize via a chain reaction mechanism involving three steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. Condensation polymers are formed with the elimination of small molecules like water or ammonia when bifunctional monomers react. Common examples of addition polymerization include polyethylene formed from ethylene monomers using a free radical initiator like benzoyl peroxide.

Here is an overview of the most important elements which make a difference at “Top Companies for Leaders.”
Strategy - There is a clear link between the strategy of the company and the strategy of leadership development. Successful organizations closely examine which talent programs are needed and which interventions are necessary to realize their company strategy.
Involvement - The responsibility of talent development lies at the top of the organization, and top management is also actively involved in the development of future management. The top managers themselves are frequently active as mentors, coaches or trainers, and frequently share their experiences and insights. Often the CEO plays a prominent, active role in training or action learning, i.e., using high potentials coupled with experienced leaders on essential questions. Also, CEO’s are involved in the programs by means of internal communication.
Talent Pipeline – Talent development is considered as a “mission-critical” company process. The best performing companies see the filling of the talent pipeline organization-wide as a necessity. They use sharp definitions of talent (high potentials), measurable criteria and a rigorous process for to determine who belongs in the talent pool and who does not. The outcomes of this are measured with KPIs.
Ongoing Processes – The Top Companies for Leaders have incorporated management development in their business cycles. The companies think about ongoing, recurring development processes instead of one-time initiatives. Talent management has a high priority in these organizations. Much attention is given to identifying high potentials, determination of specific career paths for these high potentials, coaching and their active contribution to training and development programs. High potentials are assisted in their development by means of training, e-learning, coaching and job rotation, as well as action learning. Thanks to this approach, leadership and company development evolve continuously together.
Behavior – In these Top Companies, leaders are significantly more aware of which behavior is expected of them. This also becomes apparent in all aspects of the organization: performance management (leaders are rewarded for the degree desired behaviors are demonstrated), promotion decisions (people are only promoted when the desired behaviors are shown), recruitment and selection (leadership behavior is an essential selection criterion) and communication from the top of the organization.
Critical Objective - High potential talent is considered as a strategic advantage and the development of this talent is and the development of a robust talent pipeline is considered a critical objective for the organization’s top management.
Leadership Programs – Only leadership programs with high added value for talent development are organized.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
