Leadership in any setting requires discovering the congregational culture that may sound presumptuous at times. For centuries, religious leaders have been confronting the distinctive cultures of congregations. It is evident that immigrant congregations fought over changing the liturgy to a common language (English) and also battles took place during the Irish clergy period. History gives information that a number of anthropologists and ethnographers studied local congregations just like their colleagues would study the remote tribes both in South America and Africa. This paper aims at putting down the ideas learnt from the book of “Lead like Jesus” by Ken Blanchard and ...

Introduction

In “Willie’s Way: 6 Secrets for Wooing, Wowing, and Winning Customers”, Philip Van Hooser discussed six secrets of persuading and drawing the interest and loyalty of customers. Van Hooser based these secrets on his interaction with Willie Watson, a taxi driver that drove him from the airport once. Van Hooser was impressed by Willie’s service and considered it as a standard that service professionals should follow. Since Van Hooser discussed six secrets or guidelines in persuading and satisfying customers, the following discussion will be divided into these six. Each ‘secret’ will be discussed thoroughly and will consequently be linked ...

Ans (a) Subliminal perception is an old traditional system of visualization of real-time awakening, and it is nothing new. It dates backs to 1950s when one market researcher named James Viicary claimed that by using subliminal messages in a movie theatre, he manages to boost the sales of popcorn and coca cola by a huge margin. Subliminal perception is used in advertising agencies to transmit messages that cannot reach conscious awareness even if attention is focused on them. There are two methods by which messages can be transmitted. One is by using attractive visuals and the other ...

African Americans made quite a number of contributions to war in the late 19th and early 20th century. They were however faced with more than enough challenges, considering that at this era, there were quite a lot of struggles against racial discrimination, especially to African Americans by their white counterparts. In the Civil war, African American men were barred from actively participating in combat, and only served white soldiers, who are the ones who participated in combat. Black women on the other hand, were not even allowed to enroll in the army and the closest they got to the army was ...

Introduction

The Postal Age, a book written by David Henkin and published in 2006, gives a historical account of the revolutionary changes in communication borne by the establishment of postal services in the United States.

In this interesting read, The Postal Age, Henkin examines the chain of events that led to the burgeoning of postal services, and how this was the turning point in ...

A commercial exchange is a process which involves two parties; the seller and the buyer. The seller offers a product to the buyer expecting something in return which is usually in form of money. The product may be in form of a tangible good or service offered and the buyer may be a consumer or a business customer (Schindler 1-7).

One fundamental characteristic of a commercial transaction is that it is a voluntary interaction since both the buyer and the seller exchange the goods and services voluntarily and after the transaction both are in a better position than before. The seller becomes richer while the buyer receives ...

Book review The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

The Prince is a unique book which is not easy to categorize, even though it is a non-fiction book. One can try to define it as a historic book, especially for the contemporary reader, but at its time of publication it was more a kind of manual, a manual for leaders whom Machiavelli calls ‘Princes’ (Machiavelli, 2003, p.50), on how to behave when it comes to power. Because of this, the book is still negatively labeled and seen as a “dictator’s handbook” (Dove, 2011) and the author seen as a “synonym for intrigues of unsavory nature” (Goodwin, 2003 p.7).
However, the book is intended ...

David Ogilvy is often referred to as one of the most remarkable individuals to ever grace the field of advertising. Hayden (2013) writes that "in his years as an advertising executive and copywriter, Ogilvy created some of the world's most successful and iconic marketing campaigns and was sought after for his information rich, soft sell ads" (p.1). His book, On Advertising, is a confessional of sorts, where Ogilvy provides the reader, more specifically those within the field of advertising and marketing, with a considerable amount of insight into navigating the creative world. Ogilvy’s point is to offer readers ...

Book Review: Realistic Visionary A Portrait of George Washington

Introduction
Realistic Visionary: A Portrait of George Washington by Peter Henriques tries to explain the first president of the United States of America as a person and not a symbol as most books have done. It is because it focusses on both his public and private life. The author looks at the reputation of George Washington as he tries to merge them with the facts about him. The book describes the first president as a war hero who is very serious and uptight. It means that the book explains the character of the president and relates it with the way he ...

I find the Rachel R. Chapman ethnography intriguing because it gives very interesting insights in a global health initiative on maternal health care and how maternal mortality rates in Southern Africa, particularly in Central Mozambique, can be improved. Reading on, I find some of the things addressed in the book weird and absurd; it doesn’t make sense to me that pregnancies are actually, for the longest time possible, hidden from others, or how they expose someone to social threats, envy and ill will. I think pregnancy is supposed bring joy to the pregnant woman and the community at ...

Chapter 11 Review

On the issue of the size of federal service, the author provide figure to demonstrate that the size has been declining for the last 35 years, contrary to views expressed by politicians. Consequently, the fear that bureaucracies are expanding is misplaced because the number of people working for these agencies have been reducing. According to the author, the last time the public service was very large was in 1968 when there were 3.0 million civilian employees plus 6.0 military officers. The number declined to 2.8 million in 2010. Besides, the author argues that the ratio of federal employment to ...

Elizabeth Clerk-Lewis in her book narrates the experiences and lives of African American in Washington and how women worked for wealthy white families. This writer has given detailed and reliable information regarding the African American racism, since a grandmother was part of the great migration of the African American, and she could give an oral history regarding the migration. This has enabled her to publish a book with first-hand information that is not biased. Over the last few decades, the essential meaning of gender and sex had been transformed to mean something different apart from its actual meaning. Racial discrimination was ...

Chapter 7: Stratification.

Dalton has brought up the issues of social stratification in chapter 7 of his book, ‘You May Ask Yourself’. Social stratification refers to an unintentional drive within the family that determines the future of the family members. It also places members of the society into some economic groups. The society can shape an individual to become what it wants. For example, people from poor families are often associated with poverty and unfortunately most of them end up poor in their life. It known that it is the family where our life starts. Therefore the stratification places each family within a ...

BOOK REVIEW

Book Review
Politics has always remained a subject of intense study. Students of political science, brought up on the ideals of Western Civilizational thought, right from Plato to Westphalia, have starry-eyed notions about how the world’s largest democracy, the USA, functions. A close corollary is an intense curiosity about the goings-on behind the curtains in Washington, arguably the biggest seat of power of democracy in the modern world. It is this world that Mark Leibovich (2013) writes about in his book ‘This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral- Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!’ and the outcome is a ...

Marketing and press release old rules are ineffectual in the online domain. The chapter foregrounded issues concerning the old strategies and rules of marketing and press release. One significant point is the fact that one-way interruption is not as effective as it used to be. Web marketing is concerned with an extraditing meaningful message at the time that a potential buyer needs it. Another important point is that broadcasting stories and press releases to the media is not the best manner of attracting attention from the media. Creating websites and blogging about your product and your company exposure is ...

The United States Department of Labor describes competitive sourcing as a key element of the President’s Management Agenda that seeks to get the best value for money on taxes paid by the American people.

It involves awarding of tasks and activities to the most qualified party through a competitive process. Government organizations are allowed to compete for work against the private sector based on the assumption that both can perform tasks and deliver commercial services cost-effectively ...

Peter Block defines leadership as an act of stewardship where an individual commits to doing good for the sake of the community. This symbolic idea redefines the term leadership by ensuring that leadership is a form of partnership and commitment to improving a greater society and calls this act stewardship. In addition, leaders can be involved in building the economy by seeking teamwork from the people surrounding. This act is contrary to the mainstream idea of a leadership that defines it as singular and one with power and authority over the people. Thus, Peter Block asserts that leadership should be grounded to ...

A basic challenge in climbing peaks like Everest is that air past 800o meters becomes exceptionally obscure. There are just 14 mountains globally with maximum heights of more than 8000 meters and though top climbers strive to conquer all of them this also implies that the faculties of their brains is impeded severely, and cannot spend longer time periods in zones over 8,000 meters devoid of risking their lives, even without storm.

America’s Vaguest Conflict

Donald Hickey’s history of the War of 1812 closely examines the international diplomatic incidents and political infighting that shaped what would essentially become America’s second war for survival. The international situation, dominated by the conflict between Britain and France, complicated the exchange of commerce between the new American republic and Great Britain. Hickey’s account of the prelude to war, and the war’s prosecution, reveals that the war’s desultory outcome, which ended in America’s survival, was remarkable in itself considering the incompetent military and administrative performance of the Americans.

Sex, As a Commodity

In the development of human civilisation, people were exchanging good for various payments; many material objects and services were treated as a commodity. On the other hand, the most universal commodities were and remain a human being and its sexuality. Through ages, the most popular and existential profession was prostitution. On the other hand, there was no society which would mind against arranged marriages and selling of sexuality for certain benefits under particular circumstances. Just as centuries ago, sex and favouritism was a key to power, it remained a means for certain goals achievement. In this context, the aim of the present paper ...

Judaism

Founded by Moses, Judaism was formed in the Middle East and was one of the three original Abrahamic religions (the other two being Christianity and Islam). Although formally founded by Moses, most Jews follow their heritage back to the days of Abraham and because of this, they believe in their covenant with God, who often communicated through Abraham. A covenant is where God speaks to someone on Earth and asks them to perform tasks in his name; this is why the Jews are dubbed ‘the chosen people.’ The Jewish people refer to ‘the first covenant’ as being the first ...

First Thessalonians is Paul’s first letter to the church at Thessalonica which he himself founded. This letter was written while Paul was ministering to the church at Corinth in the accompaniment of Timothy and Silas (1 Thessalonians 1:1). It is not clear about exactly how long Paul spent with the Thessalonians before leaving, but scholarly parlances place this period at around three weeks or three months, subject to different scholars (BTM). Being that Paul had received a number of offerings from the church at Philippi serves as enough evidence for having spent three months at Thessalonica (Philippians 4:16). ...

I also found the concept of relationship marketing more interesting. The interrelationship between all the stakeholders is the key for the success of any business ...

The theme of alienation and resistance permeates throughout Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale. Alienation, disillusionment and fear are dominant elements in dystopian societies. In this paper, I seek to make the argument that alienation makes resistance to oppression difficult since individuals are separated from each other and the products that individuals produce. I argue that The Handmaid’s Tale shows how difficult it is for women to wage a successful resistance movement against a male dominated society. Even though Marx did reduce all human relations to means and modes of production, it is important to note ...

The four principles of Fish are a) Be There (being emotionally present), b) Play (be sure to have fun and be creative); c) Make Their Day (focus on customer service and altruism), and d) Choose Your Attitude (take responsibility for how you react to things in life) (Lundin, Paul & Christensen). I think Choose Your Attitude is the most important, as our way of going about our work informs everything else about the Fish! Philosophy – without the right attitude, it is impossible to Be There, Play and Make Someone’s Day.

Accordingly, the profit spectrum, private ownership, competition, employment as well as commercial transactions must portray the sovereignty ...
