An estimated 74.6% of the managers and executives who responded to AMA’s survey believed that the Four C’s will become even more important to their organizations in the next 3 to 5 years.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wittbrodt (2014) suggested that an underperforming employee in a high-performing group (numbering 3 or 4) can bring productivity down by 30-40%. To put this in dollar terms, the annual revenue lost by an underperforming employee can be as high as $300,000 (Wittbrodt, 2014).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Underperforming employees will <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">be terminated</span> in greater numbers with documented cases of underperformance.

Maggitti (2015) noted <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">that</span> “The Wall Street Journal reported last year saying, according to an Indeed.com study, employers are asking more often for critical thinking skills in their new hires.

Some corporations will have the magnitude of GE’s Crotonville management training <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">center</span> while others will have smaller on-site facilities tailored for junior employees during the onboarding process.

There will be less tolerance for “Motivational speeches” and more demand for inspired training that lead to qualitative and quantifiable outcomes. Consequently, corporate training providers will have to create methods, models, and systems that meet these expectations as opposed to “canned” presentations that fail to build workable skill sets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In today’s business climate, where corporate managers are attempting
to make the most of their resources, it is essential to choose a strategic
thinking model that nets the best results. Albert S. Humphrey is credited for
developing the SWOT analysis in the 1960s. Essentially, the acronym for SWOT
refers to Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Strengths and
weaknesses are considerations when a manager looks inside an organization to
determine what it does best and least effective. Opportunities and threats are outside
forces that could prove helpful or harmful to organizational development. In a
practical sense, SWOT analysis seeks to find the benefits and liabilities that
lie within and outside of an organization. As an example, a small business may
be able to change directions rapidly (Strength), but this may prove harmful if the
business is undercapitalized as it attempts to create new products (Weakness).
Being a small company allows it to specialize in a niche (Opportunity), but may
prove harmful if the niche is a commodity that can be dominated by a larger
competitor (Threat). Typically, SWOT analysis affords the opportunity for
managers to look at all angles of a company for establishing a viable marketing
and business development strategy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The IBAR Critical Thinking Method (IBAR) was developed by
Edward S. Brown III in 2012. IBAR’s acronym stands for Issues, Benchmarks, Analysis/Application,
and Recommendations. In strategic analysis, Issues, Applications, and
Recommendations review the internal structure of the company, while Benchmarks
and Analysis look at outside prospects. In a practical sense, a manager would
ask what, when, why, where, and how a problem derived (Issue). Once the issue
has been diagnosed, a manager would look for industry standards, best practices,
and leaders who have dealt with a similar problem (Benchmarks). From these
Benchmarks, a manager would determine why and how they worked successfully in
the past (Analysis). It would be similar to precedents established in law. If judges
have settled cases that serve as guidelines, the only determination is how this
precedent (Benchmark) can be used successfully in this particular instance (Application).
If there are several Benchmarks to consider, they must be triaged or prioritized
based on their merit for providing the best chance for successful
implementation. Resolving the order of priority is a part of the recommendation
process, which reflects the most attractive solution available among options.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">SWOT analysis is a comprehensive means of looking at an organization
with a 360-degree lens. Harbour (n.d.) outlined the benefits and liabilities of
SWOT Analysis. Harbour said the benefits are:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So does SWOT analysis beat the IBAR Critical Thinking
Method? Based on the findings, SWOT analysis is effective at self-reflection
and marketing campaigns. However, IBAR is effective at resolving issues,
planning, and decision making. In this vein, IBAR is a better choice for comprehensive
decision making for organizational development. On the other hand, SWOT is a
better choice for getting a snapshot of the current state of organizational operations.
The best choice between the two rests on the specific results a practitioner is
attempting to achieve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The recent shooting death of Nicholas Thomas by Smyrna Police administering an arrest warrant should not be viewed in the same light
as police actions taken across the country.<span class="" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is easy to put all police actions in the same box. However, to do so
would create a contentious and endless cycle of blameworthiness. Suffice to say
that in most police actions, an officer is responding to the overt actions of
another individual. The point of contention becomes how an officer interpreted
those actions.</div>

<div class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1427920900980_11802">
Fortunately, WSB-TV has done an excellent job of bringing
balance to the reporting of this incident. Since there reportedly is no video of
all that transpired, we can decipher from a previous video that Mr. Thomas had a
track record of encounters with the police. Because this information was
introduced early, it quashed any comparisons between police actions taken in
Ferguson, MO and New York. Although professional agitators would like to draw
similar conclusions, none can be made. The cultural and political histories are
different, which is why there were no violent protests in the streets of
Atlanta.</div>

defines </span></span><span class="CharAttribute2"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%;">Insecurity</span></span><span class="CharAttribute1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> as a “Lack of confidence or assurance; self-doubt.” Some
synonyms include instability, precariousness, shakiness and vulnerability.
Insecurity is the feeling that you lack control and confidence in your outlook
and position in life. You have a weak and shaky foundation in which you operate
and anyone can cause emotional and psychological disruption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On some level, we all wrestle with
insecurity. Just think of a time when you felt good about completing a project.
You spent hours tweaking and perfecting it. In your imagination, you envisioned
people marveling at your creativity. Then you showed your crown jewel to a
loved one or co-worker. With a look of disapproval and confusion, they
sheepishly said,” Oh, that’s nice.” At that moment, all you wanted to do was
crawl under a rock. You vowed never to create anything ever again. Guess what?
You didn’t. These moments where insecurity got the best of you can be
proportional to the degree that you exercise self-discipline. After all, if no
one cares about trying new things, why should you? And it is painful to be
ridiculed by friends, loved ones and strangers.</span></span></div>
<div class="ParaAttribute1" style="line-height: 115%;">

<span class="CharAttribute1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By
thinking in these terms, you are actually being rational. Who wants to be
ridiculed for being creative and taking chances? However, what is the personal
cost for happiness over a lifetime when you are driven by your insecurities?
And what impact does self-discipline have over insecurities?</span></span></div>

<span class="CharAttribute1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
road that most people take is to allow insecurity to impact their lives
negatively. By being progressively selfish, you can not only develop greater
self-discipline, but also build a life of happiness. Progressive selfishness is
the notion that you act predominately in your self-interest as a mode of
behavior and as a means of achieving goals that benefit you and society.
Conversely, regressive selfishness is the notion that for you to win someone
has to lose. With regressive selfishness, the other person not only has to
lose, but also must be humiliated and annihilated. </span></span></div>

happier and successful through progressive selfishness.</span></span></div>

<span class="CharAttribute1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Use
your insecurities as a catalyst for success</b>. Psychologists postulate that
people are motivated more by the loss of something over its gain. Consequently,
fear can be a motivator. Your fear of ridicule, shame, failure or solitude can
actually move you to do phenomenal things. It has been suggested that President
John F. Kennedy was viewed by his father and people who knew him as a youth as
wayward and unfocused. His brother Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. was seen as having
the greatest promise among the Kennedy family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After Joseph was killed in World War II, John became the person anointed
to position the family within politics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A great deal of Kennedy’s motivation came from a desire to please his
father (Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.) as well as prove to the world that he could
make a contribution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use and overcome
your insecurities as a means of showing the world your true value. Although you
may experience degrees of setback and failure, your self-confidence will grow
as you develop the self-discipline to follow through on projects. The major
difference between success and failure is the ability to keep plugging away at
a problem until there is a breakthrough.</span></span></div>

with a general interest and whittle it down</b>. For 60-plus years, experts in the
field of motivation and peak performance have regaled the importance of
passion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At its core, passion is the
emotional energy that pushes action forward. If passion were part of a car, it
would be the engine. Once you fuel passion with action, it moves you closer to
your goals. However, as you are moving, you will find your concentration
getting more specific. You might start with a passion for baking desserts. Then
your passion may whittle down to baking just cakes. And finally, only baking
chocolate cakes. In this vein, as you develop self-discipline in your area of
expertise, you start experimenting with different types of chocolate.
Generally, the whittling down process leads you to the core of your motivation.
The more specific you become, the more expertise you gain. This expertise
builds confidence and acclaim.</span></span></div>

<span class="CharAttribute1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Commit
to the self-discipline process</b>. Self-confidence is merely a record of successful
achievements. Winners who have overcome life’s obstacles have gained a
self-assuredness derived from a string of successes. Action and follow through
is the core to achieving influence and distinction. Whether it’s weight loss,
business development or educational plans, the ability to stay the course,
learning and growing along the way, is the key to success and happiness. You
must love the process from the passion you possess to stay motivated. Always do
what’s necessary at the time it should be done. And don’t delegate or pass the
responsibility on to someone else. Self-discipline is a skill. If you delegate
your responsibilities to someone else, the other person will become the expert
with great self-confidence. That is how someone willing to do the work that you
will not steals your ideas.</span></span></div>

passion, whittle it down to its infinitesimal parts, and stay the course by
sticking to the process. In the end, you will not only have developed
self-discipline and self-confidence, you will have created a new life. </span></span><br />
