This characteristic is the ability to not only empathize with others, but also take action on the lessons learned and completely redefine one's views of a problem or situation. An example of this is a recent project completed with an Indian subsidiary of the company I work for. The Indian subsidiary is heavily rewarded for beating deadlines and using the Six Sigma quality management model. Inherent in my role within the company is to participate in group projects and also contribute to their overall success by often supporting other team members and their needs as well. This characteristic of group participation is defined as the ability to communicate and collaborate to attain a shared and often challenging goal or objective (Merdin, 105-107). The final characteristic I have a strength with is ethical sensitivity. This is defined as the ability to use insight and judgment in completing projects and making decisions with regard to actions and strategies (Garman, Leach, Spector, 832, 833). An example of this was a decision I made to not falsify the claims on a website used in China to promote the products my company sells, despite pressure from company managers to do so. The claims was small, a battery life figure that was double the actual life level. I stood my ground and wrote the truth.
Characteristics Not Discovered, Not Evident at the Present Time
The following characteristics are either latent, not discovered through experiences yet, and in some cases are dictated by the point in my career in terms of responsibility. The ability to evaluate alternatives, or the ability to consider and weigh options of decisions, is an area that needs more development in my life. I think that over time with more experience I will get better at this, yet today I still need guidance in evaluating all alternatives. The second characteristic is to define a course of action and decide quickly on the best possible strategy to complete it. This is defined as the ability to consider a series of options successfully and take the best possible course of action (Rao, Anis, et al., 189, 190). Two additional characteristics that need improvement include oral and written...
More traditional studies are like a niche market; competing against one another in an effort to attract students. An interdisciplinary study provides a global perspective and doesn't relegate the student to just one area of expertise or specialization. There are a number of ways interdisciplinary studies can benefit the business world. For example, the integration of knowledge and the utilization of higher order thinking skills can help to navigate some

Human Potential Developing Human Potential When an organization makes the decision to take an individual on as a part of staff, effectively they are making a human capital investment in that individual (Lepak & Snell, 1999).

Introduction The Interdisciplinary Studies degree offers a student the opportunity to integrate disciplines to develop a broader understanding of areas that can be meaningfully applied one’s career. For example, an Interdisciplinary Studies degree that focuses on Religion and Christian counseling provides a suitable foundation for a counselor seeking to specialize in a work area that incorporates aspects of religion into the fundamentals of counseling. It is similar to a chef who
Under these circumstances, an ethical dilemma is born. Should society control its development or leave it to chance? And in the case that it should control it, which categories should it help? If the person in the above mentioned example is helped, we could assume that in a certain way, the person who was not helped because he or she already disposed of the necessary means, the latter one might
