I worked as a program manager of one of the group home run by a not-for-profit organization. The group home capacity was 12 individuals with all range of developmental disabilities. The Six Sigma project that I identified includes understaffing that was increasingly costly and caused exhaustion with burnout to Direct Care Workers (DCW) from due to the mandatory overtime. Also during this time allegation of abuse toward individuals and work related injuries were at the most high, causing the medical spending for work related to double. As manager, it was my responsibility to make sure that my group home met the parameters coverage, safety measures and precautions were taken to keep the group home (both staff and individuals/clients safe) and yet to operate within the budget. However, the administration disconnect was vivid, because the overtime was increasingly becoming costly, overall budgeting spending was high and the drivers of these spending were not addressed rather bandaged or postponed. For example, the administration thought of controlling overtime by only allow me to approve 10 hours of over time per employee within the pay period, yet to cover the parameters. Unrealistic approach to meet the required state and federal compliance by the regulatory agencies; to meet these compliances I needed at least 2 new employees (DCWs) to overhaul the system and consume all the overtime, ovoid burnout, zero injury, maintain safety and drop down the budgetary cost and spending.

In pretense that I’m promoted as a new manager for a large corporation that does not use Six Sigma; I will follow the 8 steps explaining on how I would go about this potential “launch” the Six Sigma and keeping it running successfully. First of all I will need the competence of key concept of Six Sigma practices and role models. This is to acknowledge that Six Sigma is not just a notion without realistic human capital investment. Because human capital investment is depending on human and human are unique one another, so as the key practices and rode models of Six Sigma in any business bare the same unique status as human capital because businesses and organizations are made up by unique individuals. This is to say that what is working at a Wall Street Corporation certainly might not work at any or some Main Street Banks although both corporations they may have similar goals, objectives and mission, investing capital, selling stocks, creditors and so on. Nevertheless, what a new manager who want to launch Six Sigma and lead it run successfully is apply successful best practice benchmarks that have been used by other businesses in similar scenarios, themes, problems or business practices and personalize them as list of key leadership actions to Six Sigma as successful start-up in building a long life integrated management system. {Pande, Neuman and Cavanagh, p. 109 and 110}

Six SIGMA
Six SIGMA System is “a comprehensive and flexible system for achieving, sustaining and maximizing business success”. (Pande, N. a. C. (2000) preface xi). Also based on Pande, N. a. C. Six SIGMA unlike Total Quality Management (TQM) and its other predecessors is exceptionally dealing and conceptualizing the sole desires of clients and customers by using the benefits of new technologies that are more close to exactly information that clients and customers desire. Six SIGMA among all with its greatly use modern technologies that gives it upper hand attaining and using customer’s facts, statistics and facts that shape it to become dynamic system that is sustainable to business management by offering quality desired products/services with efficiency and profitable.

I this session of week 4 to 6, I learned that  HRM I learn that it is important for HRM to understand that its sole responsibilities is to manage employees relations, employees development, career development and advocating employees’ general wellbeing within the organization, while serving the organization to reach its strategic goals effectively and efficiently because these functions are intertwine in productivity and achieving organizational goals. This responsibility by HRM starts day one after employee(s) is selected for hiring, granted position, by socializing, orienting and training as employee(s) development, the process of helping new employees to adapt their organizations and work responsibilities; and after employee(s) is grated a permanent job offer now HRM can focus on career development by looking at the long-term career effectiveness and success of the employee(s) and the organizational strategic goals (DeCenzo & Robbins, (2010) p. 184 and 211). For example at my organization we do have very intense orientation and filtration due to state and federal compliance regulations that include FBI background investigation/clearance, some can easily get discouraged because cause of the compensation, but those who can manage to get permanent employment, 6 months after orientation, they qualify for $1,000 tuition reimbursement each semester for full time students in the approved fields; this is a very good career development program that can attract experienced and possible high skilled professionals that can benefit the organization. In regards to UPS Community Internship Program (CIP) as on Case 8-B I learned the importance of HRM to consider socialization skills, here UPS used CIP training its managers to socialize with residents in the communities as a way to attain skills of finding out workable solutions to transportation, housing, education and heal care problems that the community member endures, diversifying the management; and lesson here is the successful HRM expectations to CIP training graduates to be able to listen and become empathetic toward employees because now they know what they are enduring (DeCenzo & Robbins, (2010), p. 205-206).

Documents personal learning and meaning weeks 1-3

So far in this course, HRMT600, personal learning were such as strategic HRM goals (p. 31-4), challenges, changes and evolution of HRM through globalization, cultures and technology (p. 4,5, 11), and the ability to distinguish amid functions of HRM, i.e. at the moment in this class I have clearly understood the employee discipline, and recruitment and selection process. In the employees’ disciplinary action, I have learned a great deal of dilemma between moral and legal issues. Of course, all the above and HRM functions as employer and organization management as a whole are expected to work under a certain set of rules and regulations (laws) developed by local, state and federal government. The most vicarious areas that I have become more enlightened from include the laws that HRM practice directly/discriminatory practices are such as, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1964 and 1991, Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), American With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Equal Employment Opportunity Act (EEOA), Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, Affirmative Action, The Family and Medical Leave Act of (FMLA) 1993 and Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994 (DeCenzo and Robbins, (2012), p. 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64). I learned that a successful HRM professional need to be a good adviser and liaison to the organization’s management and set policies and entire HRM practice within these set of laws, because law suits have negative repercussions on organization and need to be avoided whenever necessary. Understanding these laws has helped me, as a newly appointed HRM professional, to avoid possible legal and ethical conundrum. I have applied many of the laws to my personal learning because, recently, a staff person developed a nervous breakdown condition that, as a manager, I felt that she was not capable of performing her job sufficiently, but based on the Union contract and her job description there was not a clause that indicated I would be able to terminate her employment without legal consequences. Therefore, I started by progressive disciplinary action whenever there was an occurrence, such as, tardiness, and insubordination.

Earthly-Evil Life v/s Heavenly -Eternal Life

The Above Picture Is The Earthly Final Destination For Both Rich and Poor, Evil and Holy, White and Colored, Educated and Uneducated e.t.c. Obtained Online, fb, to be precise.

We all dwell on living good life. But few of us are aware or anticipate to live good life by doing good deeds. Majority of people get stuck at living good life and become blind folded of living it by doing good deeds.

Now,  "what's good for a man to own the whole world but lose his own soul to the devil"? What is the 80 years of earthly life span good over eternity?

The Theology & Psychology Of Life and Life After Death 1-1

Life is like a giant highway that we human are the travelers and is the greatest IV-League University that a mankind can truly and actually graduate from with well measured flying colors or total failure. Also, life is faith that is rooted from the perceptions that we internalize base on our environment.  It is not by any accident that you or I believe what we believe or chose as our  path of life we all live, alike or different. If by now you don't know this puzzle of psychology of your life and faith you may be a just follower of others. You are living the life of like flag following where the wind blows.

Compare and Contrast President Obama Remarks on "To fight extremism, Obama calls on US to embrace its Muslims" & "Religious Freedom At National Prayer Breakfast 2015"

To Compare and Contrast President Obama Remarks on "To fight extremism, Obama calls on US to embrace its Muslims" & "Religious Freedom At National Prayer Breakfast 2015",  let's give a thought that what President Obama is saying, on the resource links/video clips bellow, have elements of truth in to it. Then we could see Extremist Christians, Buddha, Hindu, and Atheist out there slaughtering people left and right, because they too live in these corrupt and poor countries with no economic upward mobility. Bu we dont see any element of these other faiths slaughtering people like chicken. Do we see that people????? Source:To fight extremism, Obama calls on US to embrace its Muslims

I think President Obama has traveled in this journey for long now, it is that we are just catching up with him now, may be. He recently started to publicly brushing off the venom & barbaric acts of ISIS as JV league, slave owners and 1000 years ago Christian Crusaders. ISIS is terrorism at its core to fellow innocent Muslims, Christian Minorities and the citizens of the civilized world. You cannot compare them with anything else, especially with an almost a 1,000 year ago Christianity crusades. Click Obama Praises God, Religious Freedom At National Prayer Breakfast 2015 - Full Speech. Did I hear that correctly? I'm confused. He is even smoothen up ISIS acts by saying such terror should be combated by our humility? Do France, innocent Christian minorities and fellow Muslims, victim of this terror, practice no humility? Really? How can humility or a 1000 year ago Christian crusades have anything to do with the ISIS acts of TERROR today?

Amen! Happy New Year, 2015, Valerian Family.

Hello Mama, Bros and Sister, God's Great, All the time.

Winding down this year i will say that God has done wonders in our lives and he still does. God has proved to be good and great to us. We are not special, it is just the love of God.
My concern to you is If we, Valerian Family, do not stand up, firm, focused, vigilante and hold our ground dearly to take every measure possible to straighten our stand at home and our values, we will always be forced, by both outsiders and insiders, to revisit the very issues that are intended to destroy us i.e. our borders, our land, our home, our rights, our spiritual beliefs, our belongings, our freedom our our legacy for generations to come. Devil is the master liar, manipulator, receptor and illusionists. But our Baptism values tells us to ignore all these things from the devil and deny him any right to access us, moreover, to chase him out.  So we Valerian Family are chasing you out "devil". Good bye forever.

New Year, 2015, Resolution


Happy New Year, 2015 to you all. Let this year of 2015 be prosperous and full of blessings. Let it bring more of the peace of mind that can nourish both our body and souls. Above all, may you all and your loved ones be blessed by God Jehovah as always.

As living and breathing human being, i believe in the New Year resolutions. I also strive to keep these resolutions practical and alive. However, i would like to admit that keeping up with the new year resolutions all year round is the most difficult thing to do. I'm speaking from the experiences I have ever encountered.

We, Black People, Aren't Monogamous

Liberal/Leftist/Democrat leaders are somehow fine with the rhetoric that only police are bad and racist, some how these incidents and black people are monogamous. Something that is not true.

But, surprisingly, these leaders are depending on the same police to keep them and their loved ones safe 24/7. for example, recently Rev. Al Sharpton plead to the FBI and NYC cops that he has received threats from unknown people. He want the cops to protect him and go find these unknown people. How ironic? He was matching, the so called peaceful match, shouting that "we want cops dead, when? Right now".  Now you got what you asked for Mr. Sharpton. Don't run away from what you asked for.
