¶ … person differently beneficial person organization, difficult . For, address a work pattern improvement
The situation in which I asked someone at my organization to change her habits -- for the greater good of the organization -- involved the executive editor. She is in charge of assigning articles to different writers. Typically, the way the process works, writers pitch articles to her and she responds with a yes or a no. Lately, however, she has become selectively responsive in her replies to these pitches, and to emails in general. When a writer pitches her an article, she does not decline it -- she simply does not respond to it. If a writer emails her about other things (such as remuneration, for instance), she will respond readily. Her dearth of responses to article pitches is not only rude and an abuse of her authority within the organization, but also detracts from the quality of articles produced on the site because writers do not know what sort of things resonate with the editor.
My action plan was to politely send her an email stating what I perceived as the effects of her lack of responsiveness. In doing so I utilized classic management couching techniques, in which I presaged every point of change and reason why she should change with something valuable about her work habits. I began the email by explicating how grateful I was at the opportunity to write...
Quite simply, the editor has all the power, and the writer has very little. Perhaps the aspect of this situation that made it the most tenuous was the fact that the editor could discontinue the services of the writer. The editor responded immediately and stated that she is busy a lot of the time, and that she mostly wants to assign articles and reduce the number of articles that individuals pitch. Still, she did not address the fact that by failing to comment on articles pitched, she provides no insight into how to change pitches in the future to provide something more suitable for the organization's readership. Although she did not appear to take offense to this subject, her lack of insight is somewhat typical and indicative of the fact that she has not necessarily decided to change her habits. Also, the fact that she responded immediately to this email merely highlights the glaring incongruence of her lack of response to emails pertaining to article pitches.
It is difficult to conceive of what I could have done differently to achieve a more desirable result. The only thing that consistently comes to mind is that…
" Of course the Convention claims that children are a special interest, with the need for special rights, but in the world of public opinion, special interests are too often framed as only benefiting one interest at the expense of others. Acknowledging that the establishment and maintenance of special rights for children is merely the development of further tools for the successful maintenance of an equitable society precludes this pigeonholing,
Criminological Theories and Their Application Character History Nikita Voronov was born in Omsk, Russia in 1977 to a 17-year-old mother named Natasha Voronov. She had gotten pregnant with him after dating a man for one month, another Russian male who was working in the mining area at the time. Once Natasha became pregnant she never saw the father of her child again who fled the town. Desiring a better life for her
Young, African-American men Despite the election of an African-American man to the presidency, young African-American men still suffer disproportionately from a number of social ills. This is most strikingly manifest in the disproportionate number of young black men in the nation's prisons, the evident disparities between the performance of African-Americans and whites manifest within the educational system, and the disproportionate difficulties young African-American males experience in finding gainful employment. Although only
It is possible that an individual who was abused as a child was able to recover from the trauma of his/her experience, and tried to convert his/her negative experience into a positive one by helping out abused children, with the goal of helping them to also recover and develop as psychologically healthy individuals. This kind of psyche abolishes the phenomenon of double jeopardy, and provides a counter-argument to the
Court-Mandated Educational Course for First-Time, Juvenile Offenders Using education as a means for combating juvenile delinquency issues is nothing new. In fact New York State is launching a program that allows juvenile offenders to keep a portion of their high school credits even when they're incarcerated so that when they do return to school, they can return on a steady progression towards graduation: "Starting this fall, the program, called Close to
With such an influential opinion leader as the character of Samantha obsessing about the bag, and outright lying about it being for Lucy Liu to be able to possess one for herself (Givhan, 2004), a mass audience of aspiring fashionistas was convinced, or persuaded, that a Birkin bag was a "must have" for them. However, once these late majority women learned of the high price tag of the bag, and
