I will share the time and date when the meeting is set up.
According to Soltes (2011), the first Olympics drew the various Greek city-states together in competitions during the time Greek culture began its emergence during the ninth, eighth, and seventh centuries. It is around this time in Greek history, art assumes its own status, not just an instrumental tool for religion and politics. Greece’s earlier geometric period begins its evolution into what would eventually be referred to as classical Greek art. During the same time, Greece became colonists as well as cultural and commercial adventurers, making contact with Egypt and Phoenicia which would influence the new evolved Greek temple structure by the eighth and seventh centuries.

CEO is in a relatively authoritative position in the company. Therefore, in the analysis of organizational issues, the first start from the CEO in terms of this case, CEO is ENTJ, a natural-born leader. His authoritative performance makes the crowd work together for a common goal. Because of this new environment for him, he doesn't clearly understand the situation in the company and cannot have a defined plan with measurable outcomes and time frames. The high turnover rate of this company makes the CEOs cannot really be the top of the company. 2.

When it comes to selecting an employee for a job position, personality comes into play on account of the fact that it can affect behavior in the workplace. Whether positive or negative effects, it is important for the possibility of aggressive behavior to be considered as to avoid hiring persons who prove to be dishonorable toward the business through their negative actions. After reading “An Integrative Typology of Personality Assessment for Aggression: Implications for Predicting Counterproductive Workplace Behavior,” the authors heavily emphasize two cognitions: explicit and implicit. Their main concentration for this particular study involves aggression and how to properly test it using self-report as well as a type of “integrative typology.” The implicit cognition is “not accessible to consciousness and therefore measurable only by indirect means,” suggesting that testing for aggressiveness requires “an indirect measurement… integrated with a self-report” (page 723). The study sets out to prove the validity of these methods as a useful tool for businesses to determine the capabilities, whether positive or negative, of their potential or current employees.
Buffer statements soften the blow of bad news and Bob could have used the buffer statement to establish communal ground with the employees, show his appreciation, and offer them goodwill (Cardon, 2013). Second, Bob takes over a paragraph to introduce the bad news for the employee, and he executes this without expressing concern for the employees. The first paragraph is about the company and what they are facing, not thinking about the receiver’s response to the horrific news, and it took him quite some time to deliver the bad news of what was going to transpire. Bob should have got to the point quicker and then explained the reasons. Additionally, the employees received this email in an untactful way, and only be told that their leadership team will send out more details, subsequently they are still looking for more unpleasant news (Cardon, 2013). Third, Bob’s choice of words were not uncomplicated, which would have made the recipients interpret the information as honest and up-front, with strong emotions that could be spawned from this email, simple language could assist the employees to process the complex

Uber has not had an immense amount of time for a full assessment of their business model like a company such as Yellow Cab so for most there is not a cut and dry opinion on the company; most people may not have used the service at all. There have been significant concerns raised recently, concerns ranging from the fair compensation of their drivers, to passengers being brutally raped while in a driver’s vehicle while being taken to their destination. Cases like that of Jane Doe one and two accuse Uber drivers of sexually assaulting them while on their way home from a party. These situations highlight the danger of Uber, and the discussion of their safety is needed immediately. Drivers very often are only part time or “per-diem” drivers and therefor do not receive any other compensation whether that be hourly or in insurance and only get paid while they are driving someone. The plus sides that may need to be evaluated are Uber’s effect on drunk driving. This aspect is also very important and should be heavily considered. Uber is in avery unique position, they have the ability to effect the world of technology and transportation every day, it is important to fully assess Uber and realize that while it is providing a large service it can be dangerous and harmful to society.
To whom is the message going? Not every message is for everybody. Did the receiver get your text, email or call?
When the company made the decision to invest in the new technology, the communication process would have been utilized to convey the message to all parties what the expected outcome of the investment would be.
