EMBROIDERING ON GOLF SHIRTSDigitizing and Embroidery TipsWHEN TO CHOOSE EMBROIDERYWhen adding a design or logo to a golf shirt (also called sport shirt, polo or corporate casualwear), embroidery makes a powerful statement. It adds depth and dimension to any garment and is often used to designate a quality manufacturer or an upscale country club as well as help build name recognition for a company, group or organization.Golf shirts were literally designed for the golf course, cut with larger chest sizes and different armhole angles to allow for extende
Clinton knew if he had acknowledged the affair in 1998, the political uproar would have driven him from office. Clinton explained in 2004, “I think the overwhelming likelihood is that I would have been forced from office…” Hunkering down does work. Unfortunately, this unethical behavior will continue unless citizens demand more. Lead, character does count.

After spending months looking for first post-college job, many recent grads settle for a job they really don’t want. It’s common for new grads to feel trapped in their first job and many stick around longer than they should. Most twenty-somethings stay at their jobs because of credit card debts, student loan bills or just to appease their parents. However, recent studies and some first job advice may give help to these miserable entry-level hires.Many new career hopefuls stay at their jobs because of fear that there isn’t anywhere else to go. With financial burdens faced by most real world newcomers, losi

One question that comes to mind is “Why should we distinguish organizational values from personal values?” Let’s take a closer look. Over the centuries, philosophers and researchers have examined the various aspects of values and ethics. Our investigation today will take us on an ethical journey that will help understand how to improve the integrity of 21st century organizations as well as leaders.
Are we in a new era of corruption by senior leaders? Have you noticed all of the leadership scandals? You have high profile CEOs. You have government officials. You have celebrities. What are the results of these bad behaviors? People become less trusting of organizations and people. How can organizations exist when the leader-follower relationship is broken? According to one poll, 45% of the people give Congress poor marks for its honesty and ethics. How can intelligent and powerful people get in so much trouble?
In recent history, political strategists have shifted their approach for dealing with political scandals before the public. The most prevalent method is for a political figure to “get in front of the story” by voluntarily disclosing as much information as possible and by projecting an image of total cooperation with legal and media inquiries. This strategy goes along with denouncing questions as politically motivated, providing little information and praying that the storm will pass over.
Ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay took a similar approach when he discovered he was tied to the lobbyist Jack Abramoff scandal. Recently, evidence suggest that politicians are better off just hunkering down until it is over. This strategy is based on the belief that the public has a short attention span or memory. If a politician carries on with his duties, he can overcome any negative baggage. Examples of this approach can be found with prominent Democrats and Republicans as well the White House.
For example, President George Bush and the White House came under investigation in the Plame case in 2003. Senior White House officials faced legal and political scrutiny for leaking the identity of the covert CIA operative. The White House took no personnel actions and said nothing publicly. It appeared to have worked.
During the Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal, President Clinton used the hunkered down approach. Polls taken during the time suggested that most Americans concluded that Clinton probably lied; they considered the matter a private one for family.
Clinton knew if he had acknowledged the affair in 1998, the political uproar would have driven him from office. Clinton explained in 2004, “I think the overwhelming likelihood is that I would have been forced from office…” Hunkering down does work. Unfortunately, this unethical behavior will continue unless citizens demand more. Lead, character does count.

I entered the brightly lit room. It was stylishly appointed with contemporary paintings on the wall. The long conference table gleamed with fresh polish and there was a smell in the air that reminded me of coffee and bagels with cream cheese. At one end of the table sat two Customers.I looked at their friendly smiling expressions and wondered how I found myself in this situation. Alone, with two Customers who were ready to talk. I was thinking how lucky I am to have this type of one on one interaction with real live Customers! Soon, all the secrets of the Customer Service Universe will be mine!WAI

IntroductionKnowledge may be considered as an aggregate of knowledge systems. This aggregation includes indigenous or community lay (local or traditional) knowledge systems as well as scientific (formal ways of knowing) knowledge systems. The sum total represents the knowledge assets of a country, which are deemed essential to drive economic growth, competitive advantages, human capital, and quality of life (Malhotra, 2003). Community knowledge systems often provide different types of knowledge classifications based upon the observations, beliefs and experiences of people from a specific environ

In today’s highly competitive economy, it is difficult to maintain a significant market advantage based on your professional skills alone. Developing trusting relationships with your clients is vital to your business success as well. No matter what business you are in, the most powerful value-added contribution you can make to any business relationship is the trust factor.The trust factor is even more critical in today’s business climate with the level of trust in Corporate America continuing to be at an all-time low, and suspicion of “all things corporate” remaining on the rise. To make matters worse, la
