Introduction Wilmot Reed Hasting, an education philanthropist and entrepreneur, is known for serving over the boards of Facebook, CEO of Netflix and a number of not- for- profit companies. In the year 1997, Marc Randolph and Hastings contributed in co-founding Netflix that offers film rental- by- mail at a flat rate or price to the customers in the entire United States of America. With the headquarters in California, the company of Netflix has been amassing a collection of more than 44 million subscribers for almost 100,000 titles. Hastings is known for being ahead in the curve of technology. He also possesses the quality of anticipating the preferences of the customers. In consideration with this quality, it had been anticipated by him that in an eventual manner the customers will show preferences towards getting movies instantly being delivered through the sources of the internet (Musek 2007). Even though the organization is now being criticized by a number of individuals in the market, the org anization had been able to achieve success in the initial period and in recent times due to the leadership style of Reed Hastings. Hence, the leadership style of Reed Hastings is extremely important for the purpose of this report and will be the key focus of the research as well. In the beginning of the year 2005, the analysts of Wedbush Securities Stock had place a price targeting at 3 dollars, the trading of which was being done at the price of approximately 11 dollars (Loftus 2011). In this particular report, analysis will be done on the case study that questions and doubts the position of Reed Hasting as a number one businessman or entrepreneur. With respect to certain aspects, this report will be analysing the scenario in terms of human resource management and leadership perspectives at Netflix. Hastings Change in Use of Communication In the beginning of the year 2005, the analysts of Wedbush Securities Stock had place a price targeting at 3 dollars, the trading of which was being done at the price of approximately 11 dollars. However, there had been a change in the scenario after Reed Hasting had introduced certain changes within the system of the business. Majority of the success at Netflix is on the basis of the fact as to how the company had been built on culture that was eager to take risks and hard- driving as well. Netflix had managed to initiate change in the model of its business by the cannibalization of its own customers (Loftus 2011). This change had been made in a quick manner without much consideration of certain facts and was initiated in the plans of subscription that resulted in causing a widespread outrage amongst the base of customers. The company had been catching vicious backlash events from the customers who subscribed the organization after the announcement had been made to separate its services of live streaming and providing DVDs through e-mails. The CEO of the company realized that the mistake lied in the way in which communication of the message had been done with the customers (Loftus 2011). The CEO realized this as there had been cancellation of subscriptions by a number of customers and involvement of a number of negative comments along with the plummeted stocks by 50 per cent. In order to rectify the mistake, the CEO had sent an email to 24 million customers of the organization for apologizing stating I messed up and I owe you an explanation. Further announcement had been made that the service of providing DVDs through e-mails will now be known as Qwikster and the organization will be only available for the activity of streaming. This instance can be considered as an evidence for the change that took place in Hasting, in comparison with what had been in the case of Pure Software. This change of communication, as stated by Reed Hastings had not been a tactic of marketing but an expression for the sincere and genuine regret regarding the way in which communication had been handled with the customers (Musek 2007). However, there had still been certain flaws in the way in which communication was being done. Hence, with the changes in its way of communication, the CEO had been introducing transparency in their relationship with the customers. As showing preferences towards communication, Netflix had utilized its services with a consent to receive electronic communications from the web site of Netflix in relation with this acco untability. Hastings Change in Use of Feedback Netflix had managed to initiate change in the model of its business by the cannibalization of its own customers. This change had been made in a quick manner without much consideration of certain facts and was initiated in the plans of subscription that resulted in causing a widespread outrage amongst the base of customers (Loftus 2011). The company had been catching vicious backlash events from the customers who subscribed the organization after the announcement had been made to separate its services of live streaming and providing DVDs through e-mails. These feedbacks had been used by the CEO, Hasting as a source for understanding the perception and expectations of the customers. The CEO then considered making moves for responding to the feedback obtained in a different yet significant manner. This instance can be considered as an evidence for the change that took place in Hasting, in comparison with what had been in the case of Pure Software. The sources of feedback now seem to be involving emails being sent to the email addresses that have been provided in the duration of registration or to post communication over the service of Netflix or on the page of Your Account. This page will be including notices regarding the account such as authorizations on payment, changes in the method of payment or password, confirming e-mails and a number of other information related to transactions. This has resulted in creating a relationship with the organization of Netflix as an important stakeholder of the company (Loftus 2011). In the beginning of the year 2005, the analysts of Wedbush Securities Stock had place a price targeting at 3 dollars, the trading of which was being done at the price of approximately 11 dollars. In this particular report, analysis will be done on the case study that questions and doubts the position of Reed Hasting as a number one businessman or entrepreneur. Hastings Change in Use of Coaching Guidelines Majority of the success at Netflix is on the basis of the fact as to how the company had been built on culture that was eager to take risks and hard- driving as well. Netflix had managed to initiate change in the model of its business by the cannibalization of its own customers. This change had been made in a quick manner without much consideration of certain facts and was initiated in the plans of subscription that resulted in causing a widespread outrage amongst the base of customers (Musek 2007). The coaching guidelines are available on the web page of the company and is one of the most viewed document. By the introduction of these coaching guidelines, the CEO of Netflix had made an attempt of shaping the culture and motivating the performance of the workforce at Netflix. Ideas were being introduced for the management of talent that was highly successful for the organization. This particular change in the coaching guidelines had been considered compelling for the culture and talent of the organization for a number of reasons (Loftus 2011). As stated by the CEO, the derivation of this approach had been done on the basis of common sense. These coaching guidelines have helped in attracting, retaining and managing talent. Considering the leadership of the CEO, it can be stated that he believed in hiring, rewarding and tolerating only those adults who were fully formed. Over the passage of time, it has been observed that if one asks an individual for relying upon common sense and logic rather than the formal policies, majority of the times, one ends up getting improved results and at a lower amount of cost. If a leader becomes careful for hiring an individual who will be putting the interests of the company at first place, who will be understanding and supporting the desire for a workplace with high performance, 97 per cent of the employees at the workforce will be doing the right thing. When it comes to behaving like an adult, Hasting believes in expressing the issues with the colleagues, subordinates and the boss openly. Conflict Management Style of Hasting After the failed experiences of Hasting at the Pure Software, the CEO of Netflix had been showing concern towards the issue related to growth. His public goal was to build a company of entertainment and his personal goal was focused on building a company that grew at a rapid pace without the loss in the spirit of entrepreneurship within this particular process. Netflix had been a bed for being tested in consideration with these theories of the CEO. The model of conflict management, being followed by Hasting at Netflix has resulted in affecting the expectations of the viewers. By the introduction of these conflict management styles, the CEO of Netflix had made an attempt of shaping the culture and motivating the performance of the workforce at Netflix. Ideas were being introduced for the management of talent that was highly successful for the organization (Loftus 2011). This particular change in the style for the management of conflicts had been considered compelling for the culture and talent of the organization for a number of reasons. As stated by the CEO, the derivation of this approach had been done on the basis of common sense. This style for the management of conflict have helped in attracting, retaining and managing talent. This instance can be considered as an evidence for the change that took place in Hasting, in comparison with what had been in the case of Pure Software (Musek 2007). This change of communication, as stated by Reed Hastings had not been a tactic of marketing but an expression for the sincere and genuine regret regarding the way i n which communication had been handled with the customers. However, there had still been certain flaws in the way in which communication was being done. Hence, with the changes in its way of communication, the CEO had been introducing transparency in their relationship with the customers. As showing preferences towards communication, Netflix had utilized its services with a consent to receive electronic communications from the web site of Netflix in relation with this accountability. Improving Product Offerings at Netflix The CEO of the company realized that the mistake lied in the way in which communication of the message had been done with the customers. The CEO realized this as there had been cancellation of subscriptions by a number of customers and involvement of a number of negative comments along with the plummeted stocks by 50 per cent (Bakker 2010). In order to rectify the mistake, the CEO had sent an email to 24 million customers of the organization for apologizing stating I messed up and I owe you an explanation. Further announcement had been made that the service of providing DVDs through e-mails will now be known as Qwikster and the organization will be only available for the activity of streaming. This instance can be considered as an evidence for the change that took place in Hasting, in comparison with what had been in the case of Pure Software (Block 2010). The organization of Netflix had been too slow in offering the services of placing orders through mails that resulted in reducing the number of customers of Netflix. However, the factor of surprise was the subscriptions for mail DVD had been increasing continuously by the year of 2011. So it can be stated that both of these services, in combination, had helped in making Netflix highly successful. Ideas were being introduced for the management of talent that was highly successful for the organization. This particular change in the strategies had been considered compelling for the culture and talent of the organization for a number of reasons (Fleeson 2011). As stated by the CEO, the derivation of this approach had been done on the basis of common sense. These strategies have helped in attracting, retaining and managing talent. The Paradigm of Leadership The philosophy of leadership that the organization of Netflix involves three strategies for the management of people. These strategies will be discussed further ahead. Performance of Reward, not effort This might seem to be harsh but in accordance with Hastings, employees who had been producing work of B- level, even if they had been putting forth an effort of A- level, should end up letting go, with a severance of generosity in package. The workers at A- level, in a converse manner, should be given rewards, even if there have been production of great work with the comparative minimum level of efforts (Hans 2012). A worker who is talented does not need to be putting in a specific duration of hours, while working at a desk. Netflix had been espousing a flexible schedule at work, and does not seem to be restricting the number of days on vacation that can be taken up by the employees every year. This is considered as long as there is production in the work of quality. Protecting the Freedom of Employee As there is growth in the businesses, they often have been taking an increased number of employees, lowering their standards for the talent, and implementation of policies that are more strict for compensation of this absence of autonomy amongst the employees (Ian 2012). It does not seemed to be having the way that is insisted by Hasting. Instead, the organization ought to be raising their standards related to the autonomy for the employees and the standards of talent as the organization has been growing in size. In this way, instead of the development of a highly complicated series of policies towards the work of police, the growth in the business can end up remaining highly flexible and highly competitive within the place of market (Keinonen 2003). The conventional form of wisdom that have prevention in error that is cheaper that can be fixed. This does not seem to be holding up the businesses that are fast, big, and highly flexible that is an ideal form of the trifecta. Big Five Model of Personality Leadership Traits In terms of psychology, the big five model of traits related to personality leadership are five key wide dimensions or domains related to personality that are utilized for description of human personality. The theory on the basis of the big five factors is referred to as the five factor model. The five factors are neuroticism, agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness. The model of big five has the ability of being accountable to a number of varying traits within personality that overlaps (Loftus 2011). On the basis of empirical research that has been conducted, the case of Netflix seems to be showing consistency in being self- described and observed. The openness or exposure towards experience appreciates the category of experience, curiosity, unusual ideas, adventure, emotion and art. This factor of openness reflecting the degree related to intellectual creativity, curiosity and a preference related to variety and novelty a person has. There is also a description as the limit towards which an individual is independent or imaginative, and depictions can be seen in an individual preference for a category of activities over a routine that is strict (Lussier N.D.). A tendency for being dependable and organized, act dutifully, showing self- discipline, aiming on achievements, and prefer the process of planning instead of spontaneous behaviour. Iowa Leadership Style With respect to the leadership style of Hasting, democratic leadership, also referred to as participative leadership is being followed. This is a category of leadership style within which participants of the group taking a more role of participation within the process of making the decisions (McAdams 2005). It has been found by a number of researchers that style of learning is mostly the one that is more effective and results in higher level of productivity, improved contributions from the members of group, and increased morality of group. Negotiation, Networking, Organizational Politics, and Power If a leader becomes careful for hiring an individual who will be putting the interests of the company at first place, who will be understanding and supporting the desire for a workplace with high performance, 97 per cent of the employees at the workforce will be doing the right thing. When it comes to behaving like an adult, Hasting believes in expressing the issues with the colleagues, subordinates and the boss openly. This instance can be considered as an evidence for the change that took place in Hasting, in comparison with what had been in the case of Pure Software (McRae 2012). The sources of feedback now seem to be involving emails being sent to the email addresses that have been provided in the duration of registration or to post communication over the service of Netflix or on the page of Your Account. This page will be including notices regarding the account such as authorizations on payment, changes in the method of payment or password, confirming e-mails and a number of oth er information related to transactions. Conclusion Considering the leadership of the CEO, it can be stated that he believed in hiring, rewarding and tolerating only those adults who were fully formed. Over the passage of time, it has been observed that if one asks an individual for relying upon common sense and logic rather than the formal policies, majority of the times, one ends up getting improved results and at a lower amount of cost (Musek 2007). If a leader becomes careful for hiring an individual who will be putting the interests of the company at first place, who will be understanding and supporting the desire for a workplace with high performance, 97 per cent of the employees at the workforce will be doing the right thing. When it comes to behaving like an adult, Hasting believes in expressing the issues with the colleagues, subordinates and the boss openly for effective results. References Bakker, A.B., 2010.

God And Doubts Essays - Christian Philosophy, God In Christianity

God And Doubts "Mommy, I've killed God." You wanted a scar; there it is, plain as day (no two-level, deep meanings attached). My scar isn't external, nor, do I suppose, is it internal. Heck, I don't know what it is but all my life I know it's been my scar, my burden. I have a problem with Christianity. But I don't show disrespect to those who choose to follow it (unless they try to impose their beliefs on me), and I don't force my thoughts on anyone (you are choosing to read this). You want sex, intoxication, violence, incest and death? Read the Bible! Though, on second thought, maybe you should stick to 'Lost Souls' by Poppy Z. Brite, it's much better. I killed God when I was still little; no one made me. Or maybe they did! Maybe the couple hours a week of religious education for ten years did, maybe it was the bible passages they told a room full of six-year-olds, because no matter how pretty the stories they told us were, I always knew they were just easy answers. God's love is boundless, God forgives all, and it doesn't matter if you don't love Jesus, because Jesus loves you. Isn't that nice? But wait a minute, then sin comes into it. If you sin, even though 'God's love is infinite and he will forgive all', sorry sucker, you're going to hell. Unbelievable? Here, let me explain. You may think 'Now that's okay, God forgives me; I'm going to heaven'. Yeah right! You're blocking the hitch that's always associated with something that's too good to be true; the Bible says that all men are sinners. So what's a girl to do? It seems you're going to be going to hell anyway. And who is going to end up in heaven if these rules kick in? I'd much rather live in hell with my friends, thank you very much. It sounds like you'd get some pretty weird little guys in heaven. I think I'll leave them to it. On the flip side, we don't need to worry about going to hell; we're all going to heaven! Yeah! Because of Jesus, who by the way was both God and God's only son (and this guy invented mankind? He must've been pretty stoned the day Jesus appeared on the scene). Anyway, guess what? Jesus died for our sins! So now we can sin as much as we like and it doesn't matter. Now wasn't that just kind of him? And then you realize that since you're supposed to follow everything in the bible, you have to live both sides at the same time, complicated, huh? I'm not even sure I want to go to heaven, because if the bible is true then God just doesn't seem like a very nice guy. I doubt he'd like me too much. I read the Book of Job and the big man in the sky doesn't exactly come off looking too good in this one. It all starts one fine day when the Devil (lovely chap) starts pestering God to prove how faithful one of his followers is. God caves to Devil's mind tricks and picks out a random guy who has always been a well-behaved Christian. And so, God kills his family, ruins his crops, and plagues him with all sorts of diseases. How nice of God whose, mind you, love is boundless and infinite and you should follow his example. I don't know about you but I'd rather not. Incase you hadn't noticed I'm not your ideal candidate for entry into the kingdom heaven. Lets see: I've had a drink, probably will have sex, taken drugs, swear occasionally, I don't love my enemies (or even my neighbors, for that matter), hate is one of my most frequently used emotions, and I don't believe in God (now that's a major one!). But that's not the worst of it because I happen to believe that love transcends gender. God doesn't like this, if you're gay, you're not going to heaven. So children repeat after me; 'God is a homophobe'. I've not even scratched the surface yet, but surely you can already see why I've killed God. Maybe you've begun to understand a modicum of the torment I feel. The blasted torment that I have to carry as a scar on myself for the rest of my life.

Research Paper in US History - Easy Ways to Choose a Topic

Research Paper in US History - Easy Ways to Choose a TopicWhen looking for research papers in US History, the easiest way to make sure you find one that is easy to read and understand is to choose topics that are easier to research. These tend to be topics that people have already had an interest in. People love history and they love anything related to it.

There is a popular TV show on PBS called American Pickers. This show features historical figures who picked berries and other fruits in the late 1800s.People who haven't watched this show might not care about picking apples or picking strawberries in the late 1800s. However, if they were the ones picking the fruits, they would know a lot more about what was going on in America in the late 1800s. In fact, this program would be so interes ting to people if they could see people picking their own fruit!The other thing to consider when choosing a topic for your research paper in US History is how old the source is. Sources like books and newspapers often go out of date. Therefore, if you chose a book that was published 20 years ago, chances are, it is not very up to date. You will have to spend a lot of time correcting spelling and grammar mistakes and changing outdated information to current information in order to make sure your research paper is as current as possible.So how do you choose the right topic? It all comes down to your background, your personality, and your interests. A lot of people choose things that are easy to research because these topics are a bit boring.Someone who enjoys gardening and an interest in early American history might choose something like: 'The Hairy Artisan.' This is a pretty popular history book about pigs, but you can also choose a more challenging book such as: 'Is Pigs People?' Yo u don't want to just pick something that sounds good and go with it.You have to take your time when choosing a research paper in US History because if you don't choose a topic that is hard to research, it won't be worth your time. A research paper in US History should be so interesting that you want to read it over again.Using the easiest way to research a topic is the fastest way to learn.

Their specific interpretations of each of their beliefs on the best methods to run a successful government, and their evaluations of a human beings’ natural state are key to developing a more desirable government. In the film, Lord of the Flies, directed by Harry Hook, many key ideas of all three philosophers are present. John Locke’s beliefs are portrayed throughout the film, Lord of the Flies. Locke specifically states that â€Å"all men are naturally in†¦a state of perfect freedom to order their actions and dispose of their possessions and persons as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of nature†, thus suggesting that all men are neither good nor evil and that one learns one or the other as one grows (Locke 445). He goes on to say that this â€Å"state of nature† must always have â€Å"a law of nature to govern it† (Locke 446). The state of nature of human beings is a recurring theme and example in the film. When the abandoned boys first appear in the film, natural law and the state of nature are already present as the boys begin to come together and choose a leader. At the beginning of the film, the boys start off with a clean slate and as the film progresses they slowly learn and become either good or evil. Thomas Hobbes believed that â€Å"during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war†¦as if of every man, against every man†¦Ã¢â‚¬  (Hobbes). In Lord of the Flies, the belief that men are inherently evil is portrayed quite clearly as the boys begin to perform evil and savage-like acts. The boys believe that there is a monster that inhabits the island that they must hunt down before it gets them. This central belief is the root of their evil, as they begin to act like savages, only caring about hunting down the beast, and not thinking or caring about anything else. As their savagery progresses, the boys eventually end up killing Simon, but think only twice about it, passing it by and forgetting it quite easily. Director, Harry Hook, portrays that without a strong government telling them what to do, the boys have almost completely forgotten who they are and believe that they can do anything they want, including even killing those who annoy them. Nicolo Machiavelli conceived that leaders who are â€Å"feared† rather than â€Å"loved† are the most effective of them all (Machiavelli 1). The character, Jack, establishes himself as someone to be feared and followed early on in the film. Jack punishes those who fail to act according to his rules and procedures thus exuding a position of power and authority over the other boys. Jack can be portrayed as Machiavelli’s ideal leader who â€Å"so long as he keeps his subjects united and loyal† does not mind â€Å"the reproach of cruelty; because with a few examples he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow disorders to arise† (Machiavelli 1). John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Nicolo Machiavelli all had specific perceptions on the ideal and perfect government system or leader. These three philosophical interpretations of government and human nature present themselves neatly in the film, Lord of the Flies. Though in the film the boys do become savages and result to even killing each other, at the end of the film they are discovered by other humans and stop in their tracks, realizing their mistakes and inhumanity, thus giving the viewer hope that there may be hope for the human race.
