There are a number of theories that try to explain the aging process. The phenomenological approach is one that seeks to explore how norms and expectations shape aging behavior. The life-span perspective looks instead at the stages of aging and the imperatives and goals and expectations that individuals use as they age. Technology writings tend to have restrictive views about the aging process, often built on the phenomenological restrictions. The life-span view may be able to become the basis for a better perspective in the future if technology is given the chance to be more friendly to all ages.

This essay discusses determining my perfect position, one where I would be an effective, competent and successful leader, by using leadership theories and self-assessment. The ideal position for me would be working as a director at Jewish Vocational Services (JVS). JVS is a non-profit organization that helps to transform people's lives by building skills and finding jobs, and in so doing, achieving self-sufficiency. While JVS services are open to all, they are especially strong in working with young people and adults with disabilities, with members of the transgender community, older workers and members of the Jewish community. Between considering relevant leadership theories and my self-assessment scores, I believe a position at this organization would be ideal for me.

The role of social media is without question the single most disruptive innovation re-ordering the balance of power of customer relationships in all industries and nations. Social media has given consumers a clear, loud and very visible voice to share what delights and disgusts them about the performance of brands and companies. Social media is the most powerful communication, collaboration and potentially the most revolutionary channel for making customer relationships more effective than they ever have been before. These platforms were in place and functioning within the social fabric of nearly all industries with service industries including airlines, getting the brunt of complaints on Twitter, Facebook and through the many other social media sites. During July, 2009 a flashpoint event happened that showed just how potent the real-time communication and information velocity on social networks is. Dave Carroll watched as his expensive, professional-grade guitar was tossed and dropped on the tarmac buy United Airlines (UAL) baggage handlers. After nearly a year of fighting with UAL and getting nowhere, Dave Carroll did what anyone with his innate skills and talent did; he wrote a song, recorded it and created a very entertaining video which within seven days crossed well over 50 million views globally (Shambora, 2010). United was still unphased, and to this day will not mention it in their financial statements, even after a Harvard Business Review case study has been written on how not to manage a public relations crisis in social media. This event set in motion a powerful catalyst of customers going on the offensive with videos, creating blogs, writing tweets and doing Facebook posts on the walls of companies who delivered exceptionally good or bad service. Now three years since the initial event, there is a Social Customer Relationship Management (SCRM) revolution underway. The intent of this analysis is to show how the availability and use of social media on the Internet is changing how businesses operate. Social media delivers the most precious information a company needs to survive, and that includes the brutally honest opinion of how they are performing relative to their customers' expectations (Greenberg, 2010).
