Individual Analysis

CanGo is a successful company that wants to expand and ensure its continued success. In order to accomplish this task, Liz the CEO has hired Forward Progress to examine current management practices at CanGo and provide a report outlining deficiencies and resolutions. Forward

After reviewing the material of Cango thus far one is able to see that the company is well established. The CEO has been chosen as the business Leader of the year in Hudson Valley. Julian telephoned Liz with the new and she was elated by the news. With this said Liz is expected to give a speech that entails how the company has become successful. Liz is not keen on the idea and was eager to give up on putting the speech together since the company really lacked in strategic planning. Even though the business has become one of the most successful small businesses in the area Liz did not know how to deliver the speech.

CanGo Inc exhibits a poor company culture that is disorganized, very casual and to an extent unethical. CanGo employees have adopted a casual approach when addressing matters that are integral to the success of the company. Warren as the leader of the organization has condoned and facilitated the prevalence of this poor company culture. He makes a joke on how to approach Liz with modifying the process layout and his team (Debbie and Jack) laugh and brush of the process layout as an easy task. The overly casual and careless approach is also displayed at CanGo as Maria casually interrupts Warren during a team briefing to carelessly finish his sentence for him that the volunteer in their warehouse was wearing a tattered Burberry. The culture at CanGo also encourages unethical conversations as Whitney “jokes” about the skirt on Gail’s hips, which Gail finds offensive. The lack of a solid leadership has developed a neglectful attitude at CanGo Inc where employees are either passing off duties to one another and or show no interest in the company’s progress. The lack of interest is displayed as Andrew is oblivious to the fact of increased shipping to Japan when asked by Andrew if he has noticed the changes. The planning process at CanGo is adversely affected by the poor company culture.

Nivek, presented a normal behavior today, he discussed how he had fun playing outside and was excited he will be able to participate in his school ice-cream party tomorrow. In the activity he expressed his feeling in an approached manner by accepting the fact that he was losing rounds in the game. Modeled appropriate behavior when he displaced competiveness and how he was willing to continue playing until he was able to win the prize that he desired very badly. He showed no signs of anger or frustration but stated how he enjoyed playing the game and wining a prize at the end. Therapist praise Nivek for showing better self- control.

Two threats to CanGo’s future include the socioeconomic environment and its surrounding culture. The media onslaught of gloom and doom has many consumers pinching their pennies in an effort to cut back on “luxury” items in order to make room in their budgets for staple goods. Coupled with a high unemployment (or underemployment) rate, many patrons simply aren’t willing and/or able to part with their hard earned dollars for extras like books, DVD’s, and video games. This uncertainty in the market should have the management at CanGo brainstorming to keep repeat customers, as well as incentivizing people to become new customers.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (1960), The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (1951) and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (1937) are three contemporary American novels commonly regarded as classics that explore the difficulties of the human condition. These novels were all written in the post-Depression era and explore similar themes of discrimination and self-discovery. To Kill a Mockingbird was written in the time where the emerging civil rights movement was still a pertinent topic, and its themes of racial inequality hit home for its American readers. The Catcher in the Rye tells the tale of a disillusioned, depressed young man on his search for identity and

I currently work with the North Andover middle school as noon attendant monitoring and helping the student around dinning and playground during recess.

A personal circumstance that affected my activities outside of school was when my mother had, my little brother. It seems as when he was born I could never do anything. Around when I was 12 years old I had to start babysitting him by myself after school. He was only 4 years old so a lot of things he was not able to for himself such as cooking, cleaning, and etc. I had wanted to try out for the varsity basketball time my ninth grade but I missed try outs because I had to babysit my little brother. Many after school activities I messed out on because I had to babysit because my mother usually did not get off from work till 6 o’clock. So, he was my responsibility till she got home. My little brother had became my full responsibility, I felt as

Another change that American family is having is the well-known single family. Those families are composed one a single person as its name says. Those are the people who enjoy being single and embrace it, because they do not like to be or feel attached to a relationship.

Bella DePaulo author of Single Out and a visiting professor of the psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara explains, “there are good studies that portrays that single people are more likely to be in touch with the friends, neighbors, parents and siblings than married couples”. Nathalie Angier stresses, “That does not mean

A. This event has positively impacted me, because I feel like I can interact with anyone who is different than me. My overall experience was great because I felt confident while approaching people without them caring about my ethnicity or color of skin. I learned that my actions should not be guided by the stereotypes because I am losing opportunities to make new friends. After attending this event I feel like I will be more talkative because I could potentially meet someone who can have the same ideals and maybe even same interests as me. Overall, I really liked this event and if I could attend another event I would definitely go and have fun with them.

Think about it nine years ago an eight year old little girl on a farm. Do you see it? A huge pig farm and a little girl taking care of her animals.

I want to begin this paper by stating what my initial thought was once I reviewed and analyzed all of the results, I can sum it up into one word – WOW! These results couldn’t be more dead-on than they are; about ninety-five percent of the results hit the nail on the proverbial head. Yes, I disagree with about five percent of the analysis, but overall, it’s amazing how accurate these scores reflect individuals various behaviors and management types and as I took these assessments, I kept thinking, “quite a few of these questions are somewhat ambiguous.”

Strategic evaluation is essential in guiding a company on its mission and is a continuing process of planning, review and control involving the appraisal of the company plan and the actual results (Rumelt 1998, p55, p.63).
