Hello Classmates and Dr.Val:

As a manager, what are some policies you could instill to keep your workers engaged at their jobs?

As a manager I would get to know each employee on a personal level I would learn what makes them who they are. I would make sure they have all the tools they need to be successful. We would hold team meetings about how the company is doing and how we can all grow and be even more successful. I will always encourage team work amongst them as well as recognizing them for all their hard work. Our motto will be “One Band One Sound.”

How would you ensure all employee personalities are accounted for in this plan?

By reminding them we are all on the same team and how very important it is to be a team player. I would make sure that each person knows not to take everything personally because if someone says something and it causes a problem we will discuss it and find a solution. I will always communicate openly and consistently with my team about our goals and our performance also focus on our teams strengths.

Complete the True Colors Personality Quiz:

In completing the Personality Quiz my results are that I am two colors red and green.

Red:

Which represents the leader or promoter personality I am both very practical and I do enjoy my work. I don’t like to get my emotions involved in my work yet however I am very opinionated and I like it when others do agree with me. I like to be in control and for others to follow my lead.

Green:

I am a helper or even a supporter to others I do have a nurturing spirit. I like to improvise a lot at work with task I have to complete. I am not to fond of an extreme amount of detail but I do like to get the job done. I am very creative and I like to come up with the best solution for the issue. I am a great judge of an emotional issue someone maybe having. I am a great value to my company I am a very loyal person.

Rashad Oliver

Compare the Notre Dame with the Eiffel Tower. In what ways are the two buildings different, and how do the differences speak to the character and focuses of the artists/people of their different times?

For this discussion, I will be comparing the “Notre Dame” and the “Eiffel Tower”. With describing the Notre Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral that’s located in Paris. The Notre Dame has a Gothic-like structure that has just about 13 churches within the building. The famous artwork that the Notre Dame offers us is that it has the stained glass window and within the window, only three of them has a rose in them. Now, with the Eiffel Tower, it’s known for “symbol of love”. The Eiffel Tower is also located in Paris and the view in Paris is overwhelming. As you think about it, you have some unique artists that painted the Eiffel Tower. For example, you have Georges Seurat and he’s the one that painted the Eiffel Tower before it even came to be finished. He also use unique colors and shades to capture the creativity of the Eiffel Tower itself.

week 8-Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Related to Positive Social Change?

I don’t understand this Psychology question and need help to study.

Because DBT was developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, it has certain assumptions about the client built into its treatment approach. First, it assumes that the client may have poor coping mechanisms and emotion regulation, as well as an unstable sense of self and how to create and maintain healthy relationships with others. It also assumes that clients may see suicide as a valid problem-solving technique for these issues. To address them, DBT takes a multifaceted approach that usually includes individual and group therapy, as well as team communication and collaboration among all treatment providers for a client.

Within treatment, DBT has a very specific and structured set of skill sequences, grouped into four areas. Two areas, mindfulness and distress tolerance strategies, are acceptance skills. The other two, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness techniques, are change skills. Mindfulness techniques teach the client to observe, experience, and accept emotions nonjudgmentally. This is the area that is most closely related to third wave CBT. Distress tolerance techniques allow clients to remain calm and in control when distressing situations occur, rather than spiraling into destructive or impulsive behavior. The goal, again, is to nonjudgmentally accept the negative situation and find ways to deal with its pain or discomfort. Emotion regulation skills are goal-oriented and seek to identify emotions and manage or address any that are difficult or inappropriate. Finally, interpersonal effectiveness skills train clients in effective ways to interact with others so that they may maintain healthy relationships across different facets of their lives (personal, professional, etc.). This skill area is also related to behavioral therapy techniques.

Just as you did last week with ACT, for this Discussion, you consider the basic tenets of DBT and evaluate its relationship to social change.

To prepare:

  • Read the articles and review the media related to Dialectical Behavior Therapy in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how or whether any parts of this approach resonate professionally with you.
  • Consider whether DBT is related to social change.

With these thoughts in mind:

Write a 1-2 page by explaining whether you agree with Linehan’s belief that DBT can be related to positive social change, and why. What tenets of DBT support your position? Be specific and provide examples to support your argument.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

You will discuss whether or not the cloud offers solutions for Colony Nursery and Landscaping and identify an application that the ERP system could provide.

I’m trying to study for my Business course and I need some help to understand this question.

Scenario: A company called Colony Nursery and Landscaping opened a new store located a few hundred miles away from its original location. The company wants to implement an award system that awards their customers with points whenever customers make a purchase, but the two stores are not able to share information. Colony Nursery and Landscaping will need to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that will solve the information silo problem by collecting and making this user data available. Colony Nursery and Landscaping is hoping that by providing customers with this award system, they will be able to maintain competitive advantage. Colony Nursery and Landscaping cannot afford to purchase, develop, or maintain this system on-site, so they are investigating cloud solutions.

In addition, for many organizations, Colony Nursery and Landscaping included, information silos make it difficult to tap into needed information. Discuss whether or not the problem of information silos can be solved by using the cloud. Some organizations do not have the resources to construct or maintain their computer infrastructure, so they utilize cloud services instead to reduce costs and improve scalability. In this assignment, you will discuss whether or not the cloud offers solutions for Colony Nursery and Landscaping and identify an application that the ERP system could provide. Compose an essay that includes the elements listed below.

  • Define what an information silo is.
  • Explain why information silos are a problem for organizations.
  • Discuss why organizations are moving to the cloud.
  • Determine whether or not using cloud services, such as a cloud-based host for data storage, would solve the ERP information silo problem at Colony Nursery and Landscaping.
  • Explain how using the ERP system and awards program would provide a competitive advantage for Colony Nursery and Landscaping.
  • Discuss why the implementation of an ERP system might require business process reengineering for Colony Nursery and Landscaping. Be sure to explain the business processes that will be affected (e.g., the customer awards system). Use diagrams or tables as needed, but this is not required.

Your essay must be a minimum of two pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages), and it must be formatted in APA style. You should include an introduction section that gives background and context to your reader. You must use at least two scholarly resources as references. Any information from these resources must be cited and referenced in APA format

‘High noon’ the movie

I don’t know how to handle this Film question and need guidance.

Watch the movie ‘High Noon’ and answer the following questions. When you watch, keep track of the time stamp, which is when something in the movie happened.

TIME STAMP IS IMPORTANT

The Western genre – the classic Western – is set up in The Great Train Robbery. It’s basically all white people, not very gritty or dirty, the violence is not realistic and it’s easy to see good versus bad. The MODERN WESTERN contains people of color, is more gritty and dirty, the bad and good people are more ambiguous and the “good” people don’t always win. In between there’s the TRANSITION WESTERN, which has elements of both.

The movie takes place in what is considered real time. That means the amount of time that passes in the movie is the same length as the movie. It is quite rare for films to be in real time. Part of that time element is high lighted by clocks being seen often in the film.

1. High Noon is a transition Western.. Provide a few examples in the plot (you don’t have to provide time stamps for each instance something happens, but one, such as “The sheriff acts like THIS in the movie, including in the first scene TIME STAMP). Also, provide elements that make up a classic Western and a modern Western.

2. The film often is considered both anti-American and pro-American. Provide at least five total examples (it can be two of one and three of the other) in the film (include the last climactic moment in the final minute). Then watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR9nIMOrqy4
(YOU NEED TO WATCH THE MOVIE BEFORE WATCHING THIS VIDEO) and comment on whether you agree or not with John Wayne’s thoughts.

3. Provide three examples of three shots during the movie you like the most and why? Time stamp them.

4. Talk about real time versus movie time and provide examples of why you like or do not like the use of real time.

Discussion

1. Do you think this film would be popular with today’s audiences? Why or why not? How could it be more popular with today’s audiences? What was the main reason – or what were the main reasons – you liked or didn’t like the film?

I’m studying and need help with a Management question to help me learn.

Question

It has been estimated that the average person may be exposed to over 1,500 ad or brand communications per day. Keep a diary of all the significant ads, commercials, billboards, popups, and “spam” messages you receive in a three day period. Reflect on which ads you remember, which ones were successful in persuading you to take action to buy a product or service, and which ones had absolutely no effect on you and for what reasons. Discuss your impressions of the results of this exercise. Which communication method is most effective for you? Do you feel manipulated by the marketplace in making decisions about which products or services you use and why? All discussion responses including opinion must be supported with logical reasoning and deduction using examples and source material including the textbook and supplementary sources. All sources must be cited to justify your response in the text and matched in the reference list in APA style.
