Abstract

Efficient teamwork is an important prerequisite of a company’s productivity (Maddux, 1994, p.8). This statement can be substantiated by the fact that synergistic effects arise, when several individuals and entities start to work together.

Firstly, the group of people shall constitute a team by sharing goals, as well as rewards and responsibilities, stemming from the achievement of these goals (Lencioni, 2006, p.9).

Not all change, of course, is good. The danger of refusing to change, however, far outweighs the consequences of remaining in mediocrity simply because of a fear of failure or a general unwillingness to accept an opposing point of view.

Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, though well-written poetically, does not live up to its name. It is neither a poem about love nor is it a song. The poem simply expresses Prufrock’s indecision about life and women. Interpretation of the entire poem must rely on the epigraph for a complete understanding of Eliot’s intent and theme. The theme of indecision runs consistently through the point of view Eliot chose, as well as through setting, characters, tone and the use of repetition, imagery and metaphors. The poem begins with an epigraph borrowed from Dante’ ...
