         <title>Hi I&#39;m Diedre but most just call me Dre.  I always say that I would like my life to be shown in IMAX and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.  Being in the Navy and currently stationed on a ship my days are filled with suspense, action and comedy.  I am trembling a little in horror to think that I am taking this class and a statistic one as well.  I was recently promoted and I was so excited when I found out that I almost pop out of my skin.  I have a 20 year old son and I can tell you that he&#39;s the main character in my feature film called life.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is something that I struggle with.  Sometimes I have a hard time passing the work to someone else because I have a certain way of doing something and I don't want to take the time to train someone on how to do the task and I believe that it will take too long to train them vice just doing it myself.  This cartoon explains it</div>]]></description>

Boot camp is where you go from being a civilian to now becoming a U. S Navy Sailor.  One of the final test we have to do is called Battle Stations that takes place overnight.  Once you pass Battle Stations, you are presented with your Navy ball cap while the play the song I'm Proud to be an American (there isn't a dry eye in sight)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the Navy we get an annual evaluation.  In between that we get a mid term counseling where your strengths and areas of improvements are discussed and it gives you about 6 months prior to your annual evaluation to work on the areas that need to improve.  Below is a copy of the front page of our evaluation.  If this is used correctly and fairly it can have a positive impact on your entire time in the Navy and how well you are promoted.  Because this evaluation is subjective it can sometimes cause a negative impact as well if it's improperly used.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this module I learned about how to lead and how to motivate.  Being in the Navy one of the things I have to do as a leader is get the new Sailors to buy into the Navy.  Yes they joined but now I have to show them why they joined and what is their purpose.  I have to make them realize that no task, no matter how small contribute to the big picture.  I have to get them to believe in what we do everyday.  As far as motivation, I have to keep them going no matter if we are doing the same task over and over again everyday (believe me it happens).  So how do I go about this?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The textbook defines leadership as the process of directing the behavior of others toward the accomplishment of an objective.  A lot of people has the common misconception that just because you are in a high ranking position then you are a leader. If you can't get the people that work for you to meet the goals then you aren't leading them, you are just someone in high position.  This article is great in explaining Leadership.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this module the thing that stuck out to me the most was the discussion we had to do about Toyota and the major recall they a couple years back.  Toyota was always know for their safety, their trustworthiness, dependability and their reliability.  When they found all the issues that required them to do a recall what hurt their reputation the most was how they handle the communication aspect of this ordeal.  They communicated so badly to their employees, customers and shareholders that their trust was gone.  Toyota have recovered more from the safety aspect of their cars but they are still dealing with restoring their reputation.  Ensuring that proper information is passed is key to success for any business.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Why is it important?<br>1) Operational Excellence – businesses can constantly improve their efficiency of their operations in order to achieve higher profitability. They can do this by constantly having the correct amount of stock in store so consumers can always get want they want.</div><div>2) New product services and business models – I.S systems play a major role for businesses in creating new products and services. New business models can be created and these can describe how a company produce, create and sell there products. </div><div>3) Customer and Supplier intimacy – the better services a company provides its consumers with more likely they are too come back to them and as result the more they will buy off the supplier therefore creating a good relationship with both parties. </div><div>4) Improved decision making – I.S systems make it possibly for managers to use real time data when making a decision to therefore make better decisions and not have to waste time looking for  information.</div><div>5) Competitive advantage – if companies achieve any of these 6 reasons to use I.S they will generally create a competitive advantage over their rivals.</div><div>6) Day to Day survival – business invest in these systems to make their jobs as easy as possibly. an example is Citibank introduced the first ATM machine to make it easier for customers to access their money and to cut down queues in their banks. </div>]]></description>
