Leadership in Paramount Furniture

Leadership in Paramount Furniture I am working in the paramount furniture and our organization running from 1989. We make a sofa sets, bed, bed sofa with New Zealand products. The organization located in 12 FG Dalgety Drive, Wiri, Auckland, New Zealand. The email address is [emailprotected] and our website is www.paramountfurniture.co.nz. I am the leader of one team in paramount furniture. The vision and value of paramount furniture are, we are make sure we will be one of the best furniture company in the New Zealand, making new and loyal customers with good quality of products, open new branches in out of the Auckland, the paramount furniture making a plane dealing with international companies and making good quality of products for customers. My team members are apricate with visions and values. They follow the all rules and regulations, they all are honest, hard worker and all are good communicator. I received feedbacks from customers about the products and then I held a meeting with my team member for telling the ir performance about their work. All customers are happy with the paramount furnitures products so that means my team member understand the companys vision and values. I am the leader of the one team in paramount furniture and I applied some time participative leadership while working in a team. It is good leadership style with working in the team on project. For example, When I need some suggestion regarding the project work, I asked to my team member give their own views then after the team members review I put all members views on the project and which idea is good for project, so I going with those ideas. In this way team member work with me and they give lots of ideas about the project work. Â   Â   Â   Some time I working with autocratic leadership. For example, if any team member didnt follow the rules of company so I mark their absent according to the companys handbook. Either if any team member come late daily I mark their absent for first tea break and said to him get out from here now. In this way, all team member will follow the companys rules and they concentrate on the project work, if they concentrate on the work the project will be finish easily in managed time. The work start in paramount furniture at 9oclock and I reach there at 8:30 am and set all the things about the work. I wear companys uniform while working which is showing the health and safety and all members come factory come early and wear proper uniform and all members know about the vision and values of paramount furniture so, all are working hard in factory and making a good products and new customers also. when we start working on the project, my behavior for my team members is like a friend and a family member not like a leader. In this way, all team member feel free and they work very well on the project. Good communication is the big difference between a company with a vision and values statement and a company with a clear sense of vision is that a company with a clear sense of vision to his employees who have very strong alignment with the organizations core values. According to the working style I have made the vision plane for my team members I know it will be good for achieving goals and objectives. With the help of this plan all team member can concentrate on the project and they work according to the vision and values of the company. On the other hand, in the paramount furniture there are different people from different culture who are working and I have to understand all the culture because it is important for me and for companys production. If I understand all peoples culture they apricate with me and doing work properly. In this way, I can motivate the all member easily and terms to achieve the companys goals and objectives. Moving further, first I gave the coaching to all team member about the project and how we can make it fast and easy and manage the time. If we work in a team our behavior should be very friendly and we should treat all team members like a family members. I am the leader so I should know about which members behavior is good or bad and if anybody have a bad behavior its my responsibility to teach them about good behavior in team. For example- there is 2 boys which are in my team they fight every time while the working and they didnt do work properly so one day I called those boys in meeting room and listen their problems. They didnt talk with each other after the meeting I solved their problems. Then I called meeting of team members and ask everyone if anybody have any problem with anybody tell me and I also told about the work in discipline with the team members. Task 2 Section 1 Behavioral expectation I making a gathering meeting of all my team members and give the information what does the vision and values of our company have and what they expected from you, the all vision and values also related with the clients needs, I give the all discussion which should be good at all time for the team members in the project working. I also told about our team rules to all members like- All members should be come factory at a time. Good and positive attitude with other members. Hard working while work in a team or on a task. All worker should be wear proper uniform while working. No mobile phone using while working. Performance agreements After finish the project I made performance agreements for all the members. This agreement shows their Responsibilities, outcomes and Actual performance. Minutes of meeting In the meeting, we decide the problem about the work with all team members and then give the possible solutions for solving the problem also tell about the work process according to the time management.

Chaucers Canterbury Tales - Enslavement and Freedom in the Knights Ta

Enslavement and Freedom in the Knight's Tale  Ã‚  Ã‚     Ã‚  Ã‚   In the Knight's Tale, Palamon and Arcite's lives are filled with adversity  and enslavement .   Not only do they live in   physical imprisonment, bound as prisoners of war in a tower, but they fall into Love's imprisonment, which leads them to suffer the decrees of cruel classical gods .   Cooper writes that there "can be no moral or metaphysical justice in the different fates that befall them; yet one dies wretchedly wounded, while the other lives out his life with Emily 'with alle blisse' " (76). One might compare their destinies with that of Jacob and Esau: one is blessed, and the other cursed in order that the providence of God might stand . This essay will argue (1) that even though Palamon and Arcite are enslaved as prisoners of war, prisoners of love, and prisoners of Saturn's decree, both knights are still responsible for their actions, and (2) that Arcite's death brings unity and restores order in Athens.    Palamon and Arcite are introduced into the tale as the only two surviving knights in Creon's army.   Once found by the scavengers, they are brought before Theseus and he sends them to "dwellen in prisoun/Perpetuelly" (1023-4). It is through their physical imprisonment in the "chembre an heigh" (1065) that leads them to 6xsee Emily and to fall into Love's imprisonment.   But Love's imprisonment works on Palamon and Arcite in different ways.   Arcite "falls in love with her irresistibly, by natural necessity   . . .   [whereas for Palamon, the] love of Emelye is a matter of choice rather than nature, as is shown by his repeated demand that Arcite simply stop loving her (1142-43, 1593-95, 1731)" (Roney 62).   But even though their view of love is different, they ar... ...    Elbow, Peter.

Unit 3 Ip

MGMT305-1301B-06 Management Information Systems Shanika Buckner UNIT 3 IP 1. What Internet business model would be appropriate for the company to follow in creating a Web site and why? In creating a business model based on a website I would choose a virtual candy store. Having a virtual candy store would be an excellent idea for children and for those that has to travel to the candy store warehouses. Having a virtual candy store would also make it convenient for customers to shop and buy whatever kind of candy they want and have it delivered right to their front door.With this website, there would also be an opportunity for customers to order online and if some can’t afford to pay for the candy to be shipped to them, they can still order online and choose the date and time they will be able to come into the store and pick their products up, that should also cut down long lines and waiting time. 2. In what ways can the company benefit from a Web site? What functions should it p erform for the company (i. e. , marketing, sales, customer support, internal communications, etc. )?The company would benefit tremendously, there is only one candy store warehouse that I hear everyone say that they go to on the south side of Chicago, but if the warehouse expands its’ business virtually, that way people in other parts of the Chicago area or in Illinois can use this website to shop. The functions this candy warehouse can use would be marketing business to business and customer support. That way when customers use this website, they can tell their friends and they tell other people about the site. 3.In what other ways might the company use the Internet for its own benefit? This candy store warehouse can also benefit from advertising on social networks like Facebook and other sites that millions of people are on daily, the warehouse can advertise their items that are on sale, the website can also benefit its employees by posting their work schedules, pay, the web site can also let customers know of all new items that have been shipped to the warehouse, and because people are able to shop online and have it shipped to hem, the website would be bringing in more money which means that the warehouse can expand even bigger. 4. Prepare functional specifications for the company's use of the Web and the Internet. Include links to and from other sites in your design. The Virtual Candy Store Warehouse Inc. can be based off the http://www. candywarehouse. com website. The Candy Warehouse website has lots of varieties of candies to choose from, they have displays of candies for different events, they have a tab for their new candies, their top sellers, and the company’s favorite candies.The Virtual Candy Store Warehouse Inc. website should be set up not exactly the same but with the same ideas in mind. The Virtual Candy Store website should include the different types of candies, the warehouse best sellers, best candies, and customers’ fav orite candies. The website should also have a shopping cart so that when customers are shopping, they can add their products to their carts so that they can checkout, the website should be a secure website so that customers can use their credit cards, and the website should also include the history of the company.On this website, all the links should have their own individual tabs so that each one can be viewed and shown on a screen of their own. Most websites that we see on the Internet has the tabs at the top of the page, maybe this website can the tabs at the bottom. Another website that would be a good model is http://candyality. com/. 5. Prepare a list of technological specifications for implementation (i. e. , what hardware and software are necessary to support your design)? * Think through options Choosing between building versus buying the hardware * Choosing what software is best for the company * Dealing with hardware * Should you purchase or lease the hardware * Evaluatin g human resources * Choosing and preparing your site References: N.

The Rise of Discrimination Essay - 1143 Words

Discriminating is one of the most gruesome acts one can perform. Elie Wiesel agrees with this as he once said â€Å"Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil† (Brainy Quotes). Wiesel being a survivor of arguably the worst genocide in history, knows first hand what its like to be discriminated against, and so do the victims of the Armenian genocide. The Armenian genocide brought pain and suffering to a group of people for the same reason it did to Elie Wiesel and the Jews; Discrimination. The Armenians are a group of people that originated from tribes in the Armenian highlands around 10,00 B.C (1).

The Ottoman Empire, which was controlled by the Turks was starting to fall apart (4). Many of the ethnic groups wer e declaring their freedom from the Empire because the Turks wanted control over them, and wanted to expand their religion. The countries that were declaring freedom for themselves were predominantly Christian and Muslim (4). The Turks on the other hand were basically the opposite in being Islamic. In order to regain this dominance of their religion the Turks needed to reside in a place where that religion was welcomed (4). Asia would be a prime location. Asia was home to many Islamic groups, and they saw it fit the requirements (4). This was a big decision that had to be made by the group. Knowingly or not, the Turks were about to start a genocide. The decision was left to be made by committee called the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) (3). The CUP was run by three prestigious members of the Empire. The first was Mehmet Talaat, the prime minister. He along with two other men ran the empire until the end of WWI (3). Mehmet had significant power when it came to the affairs of t he empire. The next member of the CUP was Ismail Enver. Ismail was also had great power within the empire. Enver had earned his power by showing superiority in other wars.
