1. Our Level of Influence is not Static Maxwell and Dornan commence by addressing several fallacies related to becoming a person of influence. One myth the author attempts to dispel is that past performance always determines future success. They assert that an individual’s “level of influence is not static” (1997, Introduction, sec. “Positive Influencers Add Value”, para. 2). One need not assume their impact with others in the past dictates their influence with them tomorrow. Paul describes a similar sentiment in Romans 12, God assures Paul that, human weaknesses or failures are never a limitation upon God’s ability (verse 9). Furthermore, these limitations that may otherwise disqualify me, actually, can serve to magnify God’s strength as …show more content…
There is a modern parable about character where an administrative assistant refuses to lie on behalf of her boss. In response to the boss’ reprimand, she reminds him that, while she will never lie for him, he can rest assured that she will, also, never lie to him. Early in ministry, I was asked to take responsibility for registration at a large conference for Chi Alpha. Everything was great, until one year, I discovered a discrepancy of over a thousand dollars. After checking and rechecking my numbers, I apologetically reported the problem to my superior. While everything was clarified the next day, it was the willingness to be responsible even before anyone knew there was a problem that has secured access to opportunities that would have remained unattainable despite all the technical aptitude I could demonstrate. 3. Enlarging People Chapter 6 addresses the concept of enlarging others with a powerful personal testimony of a former president of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. He asserts that, if companies would concentrate on facilitating the development of their human resource, they need not concern themselves with the quality or efficiency of their product (Maxwell & Dornan, 1997, chapter 6, sec. "Enlarging Others is an Investment", para. 2). But, recognizing the
In the past ten years or so the Ford company has changed quite a few of things in the automotive industry. one of the few things is that they changed the fiscal background of their competition. they also changed the development of human resource development.(Chen)
There are many people in this world that are influential. These people fight for what they believe in, they go after what they want, and go past obstacles that they face. An individual that shows these traits would be the 40th president of the United States of America, Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan is influential because of his beliefs, he fought for what he thought could be a better America, he also went after what he wanted which was to become 40th president of the United States, he also went past obstacles in his life one obstacle that he faced was winning his 2nd term Ronald Reagan, our 40th president, made our country better.
Influential people change the world with their words, influences people takes risks and try harder in people’s life. Lebron James once said, “Don’t be afraid of failure; this is the way to succeed.” Lebron tried to tell people that they don’t need be afraid to fail even he does. Also, he is one of the greatest players ever and he still is succeeding throughout his life. Failure is what lets us people know what we did wrong and how to succeed next time. Another, quote by Ray Lewis says, “All I know is the grind.” Ray said that hard work pays off, and him working hard getting the grind is paying off for him because he is a very successful football player. He wants people to be successful, so he told them how he did it so that they could follow in his footsteps. Drake says,“Life can always change, you just have to adjust.” Overall, This quote just tells us life will change no matter what, so we need to figure out a way to get through that change. Like when Drake’s life changed when he became a famous rapper, he adjusted and wanted to be better. Now he’s more famous there will be obstacles in our path just find a way around them. Those influential people have quoted
The target audience at this time is business and other health care professionals as the need to have nurses recognized as assets to the fast moving execution of electronic systems in health care, soon to replace paper, is urgent. If more nurses are not involved in this process as expert consultants, there is a high risk of failure and inevitably patient safety. I will not directly target the public but indirectly as I believe once health care and business professionals view nurses as experts in our profession overall, then their perceptions and opinions will reach the public. The obstacle will be persuading those with little health care understanding just how nursing can be affective. Business leaders are all about deliverables, making sure they are provided. How the product is packaged is not of great concern; patient safety is not a term truly understood by non-clinical analysts and project managers. Within eHealth in general, the organizational structure from top down holds minimal if any clinical knowledge beyond the high level business of healthcare.
Summer Reading Book Essay Influential(adjective)-having a lot of influence and therefore changing the way people think and behave (Longman Advanced American Dictionary, 740). There are many people in the world that are influential. Some examples of them are Albert Einstein, Sir. Isaac Newton, and much more.
In my opinion the force/factor that has had the most significant impact on the development of the US health care system is the development and growth of the American Medical Association (AMA). The AMA placed physicians and the medical model squarely in the center of health care development as the 20th century began. At the turn of the century the AMA did not have the influence in the country that it commands today. However, that began to change in 1904 when they reorganized and pulled the State Medical Societies together to create a cohesive organization of physicians (Shi & Singh, 2013; Ding, 2013). These State Medical societies had been started mainly to protect the people. Physicians felt they needed to ‘protect’ the people from snake

Cole Hatter, a successful businessman and founder of the Thrive conference, is a living example of how you can become an influencer the right way. In a recent podcast, Cole shared his knowledge about the subject. He says the first step in his success as an influencer was becoming successful as a businessman. Today, many people want to jump over the hard work. They want to go right to the end of the process. They want to become social media sensations, teaching others how to be a success in some niche without having success within that field themselves. Cole says when you do this, you are building your house on cards that will most certainly crash down on you at some point. Since being an influencer is
To become a great influencer, a leader understands they must already have a relationship in place prior to a situation where influence is necessary. This can be referred to as “laying the groundwork”. Leaders should be setting themselves up for success every day by forming trusting relationships with colleagues, building credibility within and out of the organization, and by developing and nurturing their network. Great influential leaders do not wait until need something to begin connecting with others. In an informal survey taken by BlessingWhite, “three quarters of respondents said that they’d be more likely to do something for someone else if he/she had done something for them in the past.” (High, 2012). While it is important that the requests do not come across as tit-for-tat, making requests thoughtfully and selflessly is a great lesson for young leaders while growing in their understating of influential leadership.

There are many significant events in my life I could write about. For example, getting baptized, starting High School, or watching my sister get married. Honestly, the event I am going to write about seems very insignificant compared to those other events, but it had the biggest influence on me, and it happened last year.
Rapid growth of the business always demands expanding staff and hiring new employees. Recruiting “right” and appropriate people is the difficult process and requires concentration. However, most of entrepreneurs, and J. Peterman in particular, does not pay much attention on human resources and the role of human resources in the growth of the company.
Ever since mankind has evolved, it has been seen that people are motivated to learn from one another. There have been groups of people who can go on to learn from the people they interact with and with their teachers as well. However, some argue that large corporatizations have killed that instinct and impeded humans from learning and interacting with one another. (Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1994, pg 34) The companies are working on extracting knowledge from the people instead of giving them something new to learn. MacFarlane however went on to do the opposite and made use of all the skills that were taught to him during the experience. That is to say that MacFarlane reversed the whole short term static efficiency norm and went on gain information from the company he used to work with.
During 2006, the first part of Alan’s plan was to convince bankers into giving Ford Motor Company billions of dollars to complete this company overhaul. Once they were provided with the right amount of money, the plan was able to be executed. With this plan came a timeline; by the year 2009, the company planned to have the ‘One Ford’ mission in action and to see production increase. Because of such a short timeline, HRD was ultimately involved throughout the entire process. As part of the company’s “One Team” approach, certain areas of the plan are discussed and analyzed to examine if anything can be improved; this is accomplished by using everyone in the company. Employees are able to share how they feel about certain areas of their work and give their opinions on how certain things should change or stay the same; after everything is examined, the leaders of the company are the ones held responsible and accountable for making the changes, if any, to whatever was examined (Ford Motor Company, 2010). During this process, new strategies can also be provided by using the employee’s opinions and assessments of their strengths and weaknesses. This ultimately shows the use of human resource development as part of the company’s competitive strategy. Without the employees understanding how to complete their job correctly, the company would plunder. Thus, the company makes
