However‚ in 2010‚ a group of citizens wanted to change the nature of the shelter and had a goal of doing as much as possible for every animal‚ every day (1). This goal was the first step on the journey of the shelter becoming A Shelter of Hope.

LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE In this paper I will discuss the effects and responsibilities leaders have on an organizational culture. I believe leaders have an enormous effect on the well-being of an organizational culture. Leaders must take an active role within their organization’s culture.

many of us feel we have lost control; that larger forces are at work. At this time more then ever it is important to come to grips with what we can influence and impact.

I’ve learned that there is no one way to lead and that it is more important to develop a philosophy of leadership to guide yours actions. People tend to look at me as an anti-social person but I just

In the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson analyses‚ explains‚ and elaborates the two essential and necessary aspects of making any decision. "The need to reduce dissonance is a universal mental mechanism‚ but that doesn’t mean we are doomed to be controlled by it. Human beings may not be eager to change‚ but we have the ability to change‚ and the fact that many of our self-protective delusions and blind spots are built into the way the brain works is no justification

Could World War II have been avoided or taken by Japanese‚ ? There are many information about reasons why WWII started‚ and looking at those reasons in my opinion‚ they could avoid this war‚ but not for a long time. There would be World War II sooner or later because there were many failures in WWI such as‚ Treaty of Versailles‚ the League of Nations‚ and the Munich Agreement.
