CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS — A CALL FOR INCLUSIVENESS, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS
Featured Article #2
The CMHR represents a unique opportunity for Canada to be recognized as a leader in reflecting and further advancing contemporary research on genocide and human rights and in telling the story of all genocides without any attempt to represent the suffering of one nation, tribe or community as having been of more relevance or importance than any other’s. All attempts to do so argue fundamentally do an injustice to the memory of the many millions of victims of genocide throughout the ages, whether they suffered in Europe, or somewhere else.
This article provides you with some basic guidelines, concepts and issues perceived to be important for a proper understanding of item analysis. This pursuit, however, is best appreciated when supplemented with one-on-one or small group mentoring and “real-world” applications, in a safe learning environment.

How did Canada get its name? Most Canadians, if asked about the origins of the name “Canada”, will admittedly lament their ignorance of that part of Canadian history. Of those that do remember, they might even recall the “official” version of how Canada got its name, the one they received from the TV commercial “A Part Of Our Heritage – Canada.” After all, Canadian history is not a subject taught in the schools, per se. Education remains in provincial jurisdiction so each region features their preferred understandings of Canada’s history. As such, there are many competing theories on how Canada came to be known and called. All of them fascinating and equally compelling, but only three theories tend to capture the hearts and minds of historians and researchers more so than the others. They are presented here momentarily.

If so, watch out--you are spinning, out of control, into the dreaded wasteland of commoditization.”

Succession planning is not just a nice thing to do, but rather it is a necessary process that should be in place to protect the overall health of the organization – big or small. Who is going to step into your shoes when you get promoted, have a major medical problem or leave the organization? What is your retention strategy for the individuals who are important to the success of your organization?
The proactive and well orchestrated succession planning process, ensures that vacancies – planned or unplanned – are filled by someone who is ready for the position. In team sports, second and third string players are in place to provide backup for the first string players. This practice of having “almost” ready top talent in backup positions serves as an excellent process to groom and develop the next generation of first string players. This same “talent ...

Having ideas, dreams, goals, and understanding concepts that can have an impact on your success are both good and important.

This complex set of actions involves, quite often, business process reengineering strategies and tactics for most business processes, a comprehensive business transformation executed under the pressing schedule of immediate corporate recovery. Although the specifics of the company rescue plan are quite different from one company to another, due to the particulars of each business, there are four essential stages for a successful turnaround, regardless of industry, company size, or particulars.

One of the first victims of this past recession was consulting spending, but not for long. Getting rid of that high-paid management consultant seemed like the right thing to do in the face of significant cost reduction challenges.
One of the first victims of this past recession was consulting spending, but not for long. Getting rid of that high-paid management consultant seemed like the right thing to do in the face of significant cost reduction challenges. Soon enough, companies realized that there was a true need for such services, fact proven by the undeterred growth of business and management consulting sales nation-wide.

You may feel like you slog through the day. But in the end there remains a deep feeling of dissatisfaction with the activities you performed.
This may be due to the lack of result, or the inappropriate nature of the same. Not only does this frustrate you, but for some it results in lack of motivation and productivity. All efforts seem to go in vain. However, there seems no concrete reason for that to be.
You may continue doing what you are doing, how you are doing it and remain dissatisfied and frustrated, or you may take matters into your own hands and do things differently. Sometimes, when we are taught to do something in a certain way, or we develop the habit of following a set path, we forget that there is a choice of doing it another way. It may not be a tried and tested one, but there is no harm in trying it out ...

Five Benefits of Leadership Development Coaching
The Five Benefits of Leadership Development Coaching Are:
1. LESS EXPENSIVE
Developing, coaching and promoting internal people to a leadership position is significantly less expensive than: Advertising, recruitment fees, time wading through resumes, relocation and interviews with unknowns, signing bonus and the training/break-in costs typically required bringing in someone new from the outside. Some studies indicate that 50% of the new hires at the executive level only last between 6 to 9 months. Just like good new customers are often expensive and hard to find, so too is good new leadership.
2. MORE COST EFFECTIVE
Studies show that replacing a management level employee by hiring from the outside can cost between two and four times the annual salary of the position being filled. According to some firms, this is a conservative ...

These people are the folks each of us turn to and are inspired by when we think about what we care about and how we want to conduct ourselves in the world. Some of them are historical figures, some from our families, and some are business leaders, entertainers, authors and even fictional characters.
