"The Seven Habits in Real Life": I supervise a staff of about twenty-six housekeepers for the local hospital. We hire a lot of c

ollege kids because we can offer a flexible schedule that fits their college timetable. A couple of full-time employees came to me complaining about a college student on their team. They said that he was always late, that the quality of his work had dropped off and that he'd take hour-long lunch breaks instead of the allotted thirty minutes. By the time they finished their report, they were pretty worked up. I knew this student quite well. He was a good worker, but he had transferred recently to the state university sixty kilometres out of town. His commuting took a heavy toll on him. As I thought about his situation, I remembered the principles of being loyal to the absent, to avoid blaming and instead, to focus on the solution. I decided to do that. In the past, I would have been pretty direct and autocratic. However, I wanted the two complaining employees to feel part of the problem-solving process. So, we started talking about their relationship with him while remaining loyal. I asked them when the problems started. Then I told them about his transfer to the state university. With this information, they could sense why things were changing. I could tell that just identifying the root cause of the problem empowered them. Now they felt part of the solution. I told them what they could expect. I would meet with the student, work out a solution and if things didn't improve, we would get back together. Before understanding these habits of effectiveness, I would have called this young college student into my office and come out blasting, "These are the facts, if you don't straighten up and start getting to work on time and doing a decent job, I am going to cut your hours." Instead, when I called him into my office, I knew it was important to guard his self-esteem. "Umair," I said, "we need to talk about what is going on with you." Then he explained his situation. In response, I asked him, "How can we help you be successful? University is very important to you, and we also have a set standard of performance at the hospital. How can we work this out?" He suggested, "How about I cut my hours to two days a week? On those two days, try very best work. I can also devote all my energy on the other three days to university." This solution was quite simple. His co-workers are happy to work with him. He felt part of the solution and was able to maintain his self-esteem. My job became easier all the way around because I followed the lessons of "The Seven Habits". Answer the following questions: (8) A. What habits out of "The Seven Habits" are at display here? B. "Being loyal to the absent" is part of which paradigm of "The Seven Habits"? How does it help? C. How will you differentiate between Private Victory and Public Victory in the above story?

Answer:

a) Begin with the end in mind, First things first, Think win-win, Seek first to understand, then to be understood

b) “Being loyal to the absent” is part of "Seek first to understand, then to be understood"

c) The private victory can be seen when the narrator has achieved his objectives of solving this case. The public victory can be seen when the resolution of the case established a success in the social environment and at work.

Explanation:

"The seven habits" consists of establishing seven steps that people must practice in all situations of their lives, especially in the midst of conflicts, such as the one observed in the text above, to obtain successes. These habits are be proactive, begin with the end in mind, first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand, then to be understood, synergize and sharpen the Saw; Growth.

In the text shown above we can see that the narrator established the union of some of these steps in order to resolve the conflict, leaving everyone involved satisfied and without displacing a good student at the university. With that, we can say that when the narrator took the steps efficiently to resolve the conflict, he had a private victory, since it brought him personal satisfaction. However, the resolution of the conflict allowed for a social welfare and a better execution of the work, what can be called public victory.

Soon Yi loves to bake, and she is making flaky pastry. Soon Yi starts with a layer of dough 222 millimeters (\text{mm})(mm)left
frozen [14]

Answer:

3 times

Explanation:

When the dough is folded, it increases by a constant factor. We can model the growth of the thickness using the exponential growth model

T(n)=T_0(1+r)^n

Where:

Initial thickness, T_0 = 2mm

Growth factor, r =8%=0.08

We want to find the smallest number of times Soon Yi will have to roll and fold the dough so that the resulting dough is at least 2.5mm.

i.e When T(n)\geq 2.5$ mm

2(1+0.08)^n\geq 2.5\\2(1.08)^n\geq 2.5\\$Divide both sides by 2$\\\dfrac{2(1.08)^n}{2}\geq \dfrac{2.5}{2}\\\\1.08^n\geq 1.25\\\\$Change to logarithm form\\n \geq \log_{1.08}1.25\\\\n\geq \dfrac{\log 1.25}{\log 1.08} \\\\n\geq 2.9

Therefore, the smallest number of times Soon Yi will have to roll and fold the dough so that the resulting dough is at least 2.5mm thick is 3.

To compare the average amount of time that canadians and americans spend commuting, a researcher collects a sample of canadians
yKpoI14uk [10]

The standard error of the difference of sample means is 0.444

From the complete question, we have the following parameters

<u>Canadians</u>

  • Sample size = 50
  • Mean = 4.6
  • Standard deviation = 2.9

<u>Americans</u>

  • Sample size = 60
  • Mean = 5.2
  • Standard deviation = 1.3

The standard error of a sample is the quotient of the standard deviation and the square root of the sample size.

This is represented as:

SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}

The standard error of the Canadian sample is:

SE_1 = \frac{2.9}{\sqrt{50}}

So, we have:

SE_1 = 0.41

The standard error of the American sample is:

SE_2 = \frac{1.3}{\sqrt{60}}

So, we have:

SE_2 = 0.17

The standard error of the difference of sample means is then calculated as:

SE= \sqrt{SE_1^2 + SE_2^2}

This gives

SE= \sqrt{0.41^2 + 0.17^2}

SE= \sqrt{0.197}

Take square roots

SE= 0.444

Hence, the standard error of the difference of sample means is 0.444
