Forgiveness has a different context depending on where the person is from or what he believes. Religion places a great emphasis on the view of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not just practiced by saints and not only benefits its recipients but have strong connection with person’s physical, mental and spiritual health. It plays a great role in the health of families, communities and nations. Forgiveness provides common ground for love, acceptance, harmony and true happiness Most spiritual and religious leaders of the world will agree that forgiveness of oneself and others is one way to clear the mind, heart and soul and may result in a feeling of increased peace and happiness.

2. According to the article, forgiveness is granting unconditionally grace to those who have cause suffering and pain and accepting what they did and not letting that affect the love they show to that person. Forgiveness is central for racial reconciliation because forgiveness is the first step of mending the relationship with others. It also allows God to do a work between the two groups. When there is forgiveness God can change hearts and create amazing things to happen out of tragedies.

Forgiveness is the key part to peace. Peace is only achievable when one does not have negative emotions towards another. Those who have forgiven are also given a chance for peace.

Forgiveness is letting go; whether it be letting go of small things or big things, it helps people move on. Each person has their own definition of what forgiveness truly means. Its logical for people to be forgiven because no matter what they do, they're human; humans make mistakes. It can be hard not to forgive, but it's also necessary to put away your differences and reunite with former enemies. It makes sense to ask for forgiveness.

Forgiveness has been defined in many ways by psychologists and researchers with no one universal definition. Hill (as cited in Maltby, Day and Mackaskill 2001) state that it is widely agreed that forgiveness involves a willingness to abandon resentment, negative judgement and indifferent behaviour towards the person who has hurt them Although research is recent, from the last 15 years, it has helped develop our understanding of forgiveness . Research has shown that forgiveness gives positive mental health and prevents the development of mental disorders such as anxiety, depression and stress. Two major models of forgiveness are Enright’s model and Worthington’s (2001) pyramid model to REACH forgiveness. Both these models involve steps and

Gregory, your post depicted a strong explanation of how LTL Trucking implemented forgiveness and the various modes of forgiveness. As you pointed out, when the leadership at LTL Trucking and the drivers came together and compromised they experienced an increase in profits. According to Hess & Cameron (2006), forgiveness is imperative to building and preservation of relationships (p.172). When conflict arises or when an individual feels or perceives that someone has committed an offense against them, forgiveness is necessary in order to obtain a guilt free conscious. I agree that people who do not forgive only hinder themselves and block blessings that God has for their lives. Additionally, forgiveness is extending grace; in turn, God will

This client was Christian and from my estimation now looking back was just beginning their walk with Christ and not on the same maturity level that I was at that time in my walk with Christ. At that time I knew how forgiveness first and foremost is obedience to God, and secondly how it can set you free from so many emotional problems, McMinn said, “Forgiveness, in its theological and spiritual context, is profound, life-giving, and transforming. When we remove the religious context and think of forgiveness only as a clinical technique, we risk losing the essence of forgiveness.” (2011, p. 254) After reading this chapter it made me re-live an area in which I was not fully equipped to help client maneuver their way through. This particular chapter has allowed me to see how vital forgiveness is in a therapeutic session, and how it must be used carefully. It is made me aware of how important my Christianity is to forgiveness, but also to assess the level my client is currently on before beginning a session on forgiveness. Reflection

In general, self-forgiveness is identified by a common ability to exhibit self-respect in spite of the acceptance of wrong-doing (Hall, J., Fincham, D., 2005). I never considered the distinction between interpersonal forgiveness and intrapersonal forgiveness. While they share many similarities, there is even greater evidence of the differences between the two. One significant difference involves the consequences of withholding forgiveness from self. It is likely that intrapersonal unforgiveness can be much more detrimental than interpersonal. Hall & Fincham state “ Self-forgiveness often entails a resolution to change” (2005). It is this process of acceptance of one’s own imperfections and sinful nature that catapults a desire for self-improvement and growth. This is a critical component of healing the soul and beginning the journey to spiritual and mental health. Also enlightening was the declaration that one can experience pseudo self forgiveness by failing to acknowledge any wrong doing and convincing him/herself that they are without fault. Finally, I was struck by the notion that self-forgiveness will typically

Asking for forgiveness and forgiving to many is the hardest thing to do but we must remember in the book of Matthew (18:21-22) Peter said to the Lord: “Lord if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” In this paper, the chosen case study will give the reader a better understanding of what forgiveness is to Jesus. Forgiveness is a big part of the Bible and if Jesus forgives us of our sins we too must learn to be as forgiving as him.

Antwan, thank you for your post regarding LTL Trucking as you explained the role that forgiveness played within the organization. However, you mentioned that forgiveness is seldom discussed in current business literature. Nevertheless, there are many articles and theories pertaining to the role of forgiveness within the business community. For example, Ayoko, sites literature that conflict, apologies and forgiveness are explained by the attribution theory. This theory speaks to the causes and effects of how individuals may evaluate conflict and determine if an apology is needed, resulting in an employee’s willingness to cooperate that leads to actual forgiveness. The research indicates that individuals or leaders that demonstrate

LTL Trucking chose the path of forgiveness. Forgiveness is not a trait often found in organization. Most forgive because they expect that there must be something in it for them. (Hess & Cameron, loc# 2344) Forgiveness and love must go hand in hand. An organizational perspective must acknowledge that people must be treated as ‘yous’ rather than ‘its.’ (Caldwell & Dixon, 2010) It does not take much for a leader to become inhibited, or entitled. People in the position of authority have increased rewards and freedoms; hence, thy can easily disassociate themselves with the staff. (Stouten & Thomas, 2009) Forgiveness is not a new concept, in the bible it teaches to forgive those who trespass against us. The Pharisees and Scribes brought an adulterous woman to Jesus while he was at the

LTL Trucking has had a history of management difficulties. Although, conflict is a natural part of human relations and can be a positive force in the workplace, once forgiveness has taken place. Challenges occur in any organization and dealing with conflict in the workplace can be straining and create an uncomfortable work environment. However, as indicated by Hess & Cameron (2006), forgiveness allows for the continuation of interpersonal connections in the midst of conflict, turmoil, or change (p.172). Forgiveness has many organizational benefits and LTL trucking implemented it in an effort to improve their organizational performance.

There are a number of capabilities that would drive competitive advantage for QL that require further investment. Specifically QL needs to develop processes to ensure that innovative ideas are regularly being created, i.e. knowledge development.
