Organizational Culture Of The Nfl

The Performance Measurement is a way to either measure or give a understandable value to what has been done compared to what was supposed to be done. It applies to all aspects in the working environment, such as procedures, critical activities and processes. In other words, first you set pre-defined goals and give away tasks and responsibilities to other workers, then at the deadline you can compare the achieved results to what the original goal was at the beginning. It is also useful to evaluate not only the final result, but even all the actions taken to get that particular results and the way the actions have been taken as well.

To understand the organizational culture of a company, one needs to start by looking at the history. Lakeshore Learning Materials was born from a divorced mother of three named Ethelyn Kaplan, who took a dream and a chance by moving her family to California in 1954 to open a toy store. When she started noticing that teachers were interested in her material, Ethelyn realized that she needed to expand her business into educational materials. 60 years later, Lakeshore Learning Materials has grown into a company with over 2000 employees, 60 retail stores throughout the United States and growing. Lakeshore Learning Materials is currently headed by Ethelyn’s grandsons, Bo and Josh Kaplan. Under the supervision of Bo and Josh, Lakeshore continues to be a leader in the Educational Materials, yet still able to keep the family culture that their grandmother started. Highest quality customer service and hard work are the core values that shape Lakeshore’s Organizational Strategy. These high expectations aren’t hard for employees at Lakeshore because the company is so loved by everyone that works there, that they give nothing less than the best.

"My job is to do what’s best for the organization and to make that decision regardless of what the consequences are to me personally…I take my position very seriously…what I want is an organization that can be together, one where everybody in the place has the same goal, and that is to win.” ("Pro Football Hall of Fame", n.d.) This quote is directly from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Hall of Fame owner Dan Rooney who is the son of Art Rooney, the original founder of the Steelers’ organization. I will argue he was he was both a visionary and an ethical leader. We’ll take a look at his visionary leadership elements. First, he changed the NFL head coach hiring process by using the five priorities of diversity as outlined in the 2013 USAF Diversity Strategic Roadmap, which are institutionalize, attract, recruit, develop, and retain. Then, we’ll look at how he incorporated the change within his own franchise. We’ll also cover how he quelled any resistance to change with his actions, by being the change he wanted to be, one of the foundational principles to the visionary leader. We’ll also look at Dan Rooney the ethical leader. This point will be demonstrated by explaining his relationship with his brothers. We’ll look at why he purchased his brother’s shares of the team because of the gambling facilities they owned and operated. During this timeframe, however, there were ethical dilemmas, like competing values, that were present. Ethical traps like the loyalty

This movie displays many different ways of courage. Courage is being brave with there is doubt and to be fearless when danger comes. “Remember the Titans” is about an integrated football team who helped influence their town to “trust the soul of a man rather than the look of him” says Coach Yoast. The people in Alexandria, Virginia were angry that an African American was taken on to be the Head Hoach. Many of the white players wanted to quit the team and petition to get Coach Boone out, so that Coach Yoast could get his job back. Their plan did not work, however, Boone wanted to keep Yoast as a part of the team, but only as an assistant. Coach Yoast accepted Boone’s invitation as the assistant coach for the defensive line. Together they defied

Business matters will never be an easy process to keep things functioning in a positive direction. Whether risk taking approaches spark trickle down effects or upward gains, he who steers the wheel should always know that nobody is bigger than the organization itself. Of course, pinching pennies will always save you a buck or two, but when it comes down to paying top employees, the “Benjamin Franklin’s” will always be up the ladder. In the NFL, one of the key aspects for an organization is to shape up their salary cap for the betterment of sharing the wealth through their roster and to ease things up to make long term investments on franchise talents.

To play in the NFL takes a extremely extraordinary endowment, one mixed with speed, strength, flexibility, and aptitude. There are less than 1% of all players playing football in college that goes to the NFL. The fraternity of the NFL is a very small group of individuals. Also what plague the NFL are players getting into trouble with the law for a host of reasons. Happenstances with the law can range from domestic violence to simply failure to appear in court. With the NFL earning over 7 billion dollars last year this is an concern that must be addressed. The NFL has millions of loyal fans that attend, watch, or live stream their games every Sunday during the football season. This year the super bowl viewers were well over 100 million. With the average 30 second commercial going for 5 million a spot the franchise has a lot to lose if it’s image is not portrayed responsibly. The objective of this paper is to develop an IMC plan for the NFL.

Measuring performance means when a business will measure the quality of the activities that are passing and the quality of the services provided to the customers by employees. It involves creating a simple, but effective, system for determining whether organizations meet objectives. It’s also a process of collecting and reporting information regarding the performance of an individual, group or organizations. It can

This paper will explore how people within the National Football League (NFL) interact with each other to reach their goals as a team, and an organization as a whole. Sports teams are defined as two or more individuals who possess a common identity, have common goals and objectives, share a common fate, exhibit structured patterns of interaction and modes of communication, hold common perceptions about group structure, are personally and instrumentally interdependent, reciprocate interpersonal attraction and consider themselves to be a group (Group Dynamics, 2004). There are many people

Joe Kennedy, an assistant head coach at Bermenton High, has been under some fire from the district. Kennedy as he always does, assembles himself and sometimes other players to begin a prayer at the fifty hard line. However, he has insisted on numerous occasions that his prayers are not intended to attract attention or to preach the word of the lord. But to merely create a sort of unification amount the players after the games. As team captain Ethan Hacker stated. " What he does brings us all together no matter how much we despise each other." So why should the district be bothered by a small group of players who willingly decide to participate in prayer ? Even in the NFL, players gather around each other before and after games to sing a prayer.

Recently, an increasing number of African American football players have been leaving their respective colleges with years of eligibility left, to pursue a dream of playing in the National Football League. This year alone, 101 athletes will be forgoing their remaining years of college eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Thus representing a staggering increase from the 40 early entrants in 2007 (Heitner). This decision seems deceptive, in that it appears explicitly based on utility maximization and the traditional economic theory of Becker and Stigler. That model does provide an adequate explanation based on set universal preferences with efficiency determining the price of commodities. However, I believe that it is more accurately modeled as a function of a socially constructed framework of choice. Berger and Luckmann’s social construction theory presents the opportunity to understand more fully the background of these athletes that shapes their decision-making process. In my analysis, utility maximization is embedded within this social construction framework. Given this, not only can we understand the conventional economic reasons for this decision, but also the socialization that shaped the individuals to that point. I will demonstrate that the choices of these athletes can be analyzed by taking into account how each person’s preferences and efficiency is molded by their socialization.

(2010). This information is obtained through financial reports, complaint records, and ongoing client surveys. The second performance measure I would use would be responsive communication. This measures satisfaction surveys retention, absenteeism, and vacancy measures. These measures will let us know what is going within the organization. Some examples are percent of “loyal” associates, percent of RN positions are vacant, and tenure of associates. The concept of this is associate satisfaction, retention, and complaints. In order to provide excellent care, we will need to know what the staff is feeling. Happy employees mean better performance which equals better patient care. For the third measure, I would focus on corporate design. Corporate design measures market share, efficacy of care, per capita cost of care, improvements unmet or delayed and variation in internal performance. The concept behind this measure is to find the extent of service, uniformity of performance, and competitor relations. Surveys are a big part of obtaining all this information and provide a great deal of knowledge on how well this organization is performing.

The National Football League has turned what was once seen as a sport for savages into a cornerstone of American culture. The increase of popularity of football has turned the NFL into a money making machine the NFL 's finances are unmatched. According to Forbes magazine in an article analyzing the most valuable sports teams of the world, "The NFL landed the most teams in the top 50 with 20 franchises"(Badenhausen, "The World 's 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams 2015"). The following statistics will be used to determine what causes the value of NFL franchises. There are many factors that can influence the value of an NFL franchise however I have narrowed it down to variables that I believe directly affect the value of an NFL team. Using a sample of the 32 NFL teams and their current values as of the 2015 fiscal year as data points for this study. The variables that I have considered to test their significance are:

4.1 Performance Indicators are quantifiable measurements, agreed to beforehand, that reflect the critical success factors of an organization. They will differ depending on the organization.

Organizational culture in athletics is bigger than I think we all realize. The first thing most coaches do, is set up the culture that they want to create for their team. Almost any locker room will have signs with a motto for the team. Teams wear practice jerseys or clothing that has a saying on them. A specific example is that Penn State Basketball wears practice jerseys that say relentless on them. Coach Chambers is wanting to create a culture on the team that they will be relentless in what they do.

Performance measuring is vital part which assessing value of employee and management. Performance can be measure through employee’s overall impact cost efficiency and effectives. (Anon., 2017)
