Wal-Mart has been successful in opening retail discount mass merchandising stores across the United States, mainly in smaller, rural cities, where limited competition exists from small mom and pop retailers. As part of growth plans, Wal-Mart began opening stores in larger, suburban and urban areas and now faced competition from Target and other specialty retailers. Soon, same stores sales growth slowed and growth from new stores was limited by many communities objecting to Wal-Mart locating stores in their town. Management was concerned whether the low price strategy could sustain growth. Several managers were hired to craft a new strategy moving away from price into more stylish fashion and "value propositions."

Most likely everyone has someone like this in his or her life: the person who won't take "no" for an answer, the friend who does all the talking and complains about everything, the family member who always wants to borrow money or the the co-worker who continually interrupts you while you're trying to work. Because escaping that person or situation often isn't an option, learning to live peacefully with people who test your patience or challenge your values can be difficult but necessary.

CHICO, Calif., June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by Scholars for Peace in the Middle East Board of Directors: In response to Yale University's abrupt and thus far poorly explained termination of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism (YIISA), Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME), representing a worldwide grassroots community of academics from across many disciplines, notes Yale University's announcement that it is establishing the Yale Program for the Study of Anti-Semitism (YPSA) and wishes it success. Nevertheless, SPME remains gravely concerned about the handling of the YIISA and registers significant concerns about the new organization. During its brief five-year existence, YIISA had gotten off to a spectacula...
Questions on ethics in the workplace are answered. People are not difficult; behavior is. A co-worker's behavior has to be addressed and supervisors have the right and the responsibility to tell staff what behavior is expected in the workplace. In your professional capacity with the public sector, you cannot endorse a product. And there are reasons for this. If you are using a product or service that you like and want to endorse it, you are basing your endorsement on your opinion. It is not factual. If the conflict is between two people, then there are guidelines for handling that and your supervisor should be aware of them. If the conflict is among the staff members, then an open discussion of the issues, concerns, irritants (things not people) should be initiated by the supervisor. Yo...
Clarifying and articulating learning goals is indispensable to the success of a mentoring relationship. While some mentees come to a mentoring relationship with well-defined goals, it is more the exception than the rule. Most mentees come with a general idea about what they want to learn. That idea becomes the starting point for a mentor's assistance in the goal-setting process. "Starter goals" are the initial goals a mentee brings into a mentoring relationship. As the mentee and mentor work together to articulate and prioritize SMART goals, the focus of the work together becomes clearer. The authors encourage mentors to explore two kinds of goals with their mentees: "do goals" and "be goals." "Do goals" are short term, measurable, and observable. They focus on knowledge, skills, job fu...

A couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary with friends and relatives. During the banquet, Tom, the husband, was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a long marriage. 'Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?' an anonymous voice yelled from the back of the room. Tom responded, 'Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness -- and a great many other qualities you wouldn't need if you stayed single."' I have been married for over 22 years and I can agree with Tom about what marriage teaches. Marriage tends to test our temperament and to build our character. After 22 years of relatively smooth marriage, my wife, Paula, ...
