Strategic Ground For Listening And Article Review

This alignment of listening strategies and strategic plans stops short however in the area of globalization and cultural variation. An example of this short-coming is in how the Hofstede Model of Cultural Dimensions is not used in this analysis to show how a leader listens across different cultures can have a major effect on the effectiveness of this strategy (Hofstede, McCrae, 2004). The five cultural dimensions Hofstede discusses is also not included from the standpoint of aligning strategies to the unique cultural requirements of different nations as well. Including this in the analysis would have also made the listening competence of the HURIER Model more relevant to unique geographies and their respective cultural differences as well (Hofstede, McCrae, 2004).

Most significant however is the need for anchoring the HURIER Model 6 stage learning process into the strategic planning process in a more agile, and market-driven framework. As it stands, the defining of the concepts in this article aren't as flexible to respond to market conditions as other learning systems (Teare, Ingram, Prestoungrange, Sandelands, 2002). The focus on greater agility could also lead to more effective interpretation of listening results and the development of a more globally-based strategy for aligning strategic planning to cultural requirements (Hofstede, McCrae, 2004). That link does not exist...

The article however fails to fully link the HURIER Model 6 stage learning process model to more advanced cultural model constructs including the Cultural Dimensions Model (Hofstede, McCrae, 2004). This shortcoming leads to the models as defined in the article not being able to scale as effectively as they potentially could, as they do not take into account unique cultural variations.

Servant-Leadership is the model that most closely resonates with me, though I think the title a bit pretentious, even though I cannot think of a better one. According to Spears (2004), it comprises much of the attributes of Burns' (1978) transformational leadership, but it does not really require a charismatic leader, only a sincere one who follows up. I like that very much. However this is a long list of

Medical Management The primary goal of both private- and public-sector medical organizations is, of course, to provide the highest standard of medical care to their patients. This requires, of course, professionals who are trained in the latest scientific and medical techniques and both private and public health-care institutions in Great Britain in general accomplish this element of their task. However, providing quality health care is not simply a medical issue: It

In this instance then, the face and politeness phenomena become of crucial importance. Since the conversations in phone call centers are not conducted face-to-face, the most important aspect becomes the politeness (Stembrouck, 2006). This is vital for complete customer satisfaction and can be identified and corrected through discourse analyses. All in all, the employees at the call center have the ultimate purpose of transferring data to the customers in a
