Courses Goals
“I firmly believe that any organization, in order to survive and achieve success, must have a sound set of beliefs on which it premises all its policies and actions. I believe if an organization is to meet the challenge of a changing world, it must be prepared to change everything about itself except those beliefs.”
The course will help the business English student understand the importance of having clearly defined corporate mission statements and values, and how corporate culture and values guide the vision, goals, policies, marketing and social responsibility of the firm.
Every excellent company breathes and speaks a language that is value driven and with a firmly held belief in the respect for the individual and the environment.
It is our goal to imbue the student with this knowledge and language.
A. What is a Company? What is necessary for a company to be viable?
B. The 8 attributes that characterize excellent, innovative companies.
C. Corporate Values: Why do the excellent companies have them? Where do they come from? What is their purpose?
D. Image versus reputation.
E. Servant Leadership versus Management. What is servant leadership?
F. Social responsibility of a corporation. Internal and external. It begins where? It ends where?
G. The damn boss! How to deal with a bad boss.
H. Firing: The parting of ways. From both sides of the table, let’s do it right.
