When it was time to give the same respect that should be the leader if there are employees who show such behavior.

HOW manage EMPLOYEES / STAFF

According to Kevin Dwyer, founder of Change Factory – a change management consulting firm, to manage performance of employees / staff you need technique and attitude. The first technique is to establish “standards of performance”. This is the minimum standard where one should not not have to achieve it. No one employee / staff may not ever achieve this standard without having to follow the counseling. Standards of performance include such things as personal safety and team level (team & personal safety), honesty and level of attendance. Standards of performance should also include measures that directly relate well with the work of someone on an individual basis (individual work roles) and also the goals of the organization (Organization goal). Reply minimum standards of performance should be set for parameters such as the completion of the project, the level of sales, costs, or the level of quality. By not setting the parameters as above, is tantamount to saying to the employees / staff you that his responsibility was to come to work, do not endanger the safety of themselves or colleagues, and not steal.

• The second technique related to that described above, which set targets for each employee / staff. This target is agreed upon for the same parameters or further elaboration of the parameters that have been established as the standard of performance above. Targets are set based on actual competency or competencies expected of an employee. For example, a sales trainee is not expected to produce a level of sales as a senior sales. However, somehow they are expected to sell. If they can not do that, then they should consider another profession.

• The third technique is to provide feedback and coaching to improve performance. Feedback should be done immediately, while the standard set is violated or the target is not reached. Feedback must be specific and must be communicated in a language that matches the receiver feedback. Coaching conducted among others by asking questions, using independent data and express their weaknesses / shortcomings employees clearly. Employees may also be asked to honestly assess their own performance and compare it with the level of performance they want to achieve. Moreover, coaching also have to generate the commitment of employees / staff you about what they are ready for change, support what they need to make that change, and time period to make the changes referred to.

Many people are struggling to learn how to provide feedback and coaching, when they become leaders. However, the technique is not enough.

The discovery of vast reserves of shale gas in north-west England have business owners in the UK who consume large amounts of gas hopeful that this will mean lower business gas prices. Sure, a huge field of natural gas is exciting, it is certain to bring many new jobs to north-west England but there is a huge price to pay for extracting shale gas.

The United States is having a great deal of trouble with protesters who are pointing to water wells damaged by hydraulic fracturing, known as “fracking” , the process by which the gas is unlocked from shale rock. The process of drilling a well for shale gas involves pumping in millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure at the shale rock to break it apart and allow the gas to be captured.. Several states have already banned fracking, alarmed by residents of other states who are literally able to ignite the water coming out of their kitchen spigots because it is contaminated with chemicals.

The UK needs natural gas. The North Sea reserves are dwindling and if business gas prices could be lowered and more jobs created, it would be a good thing. Perhaps one day we will have new gas tariffs, like green electricity tariffs where domestic and non-domestic customers could choose non-fracked gas for a premium price.

Some opinions meperbolehkan long as no interest earned, and on condition that bills must be paid in full. Another Sebagain forbid, quoting one of the earliest scholars of religious references, Ibn Mas’ud: “Allah has cursed those who consume Riba [usury or interest], who gave it to someone else, who recorded it and people who become witnesses …. All the same in exposed sin of usury. ” The group that believes the credit card is forbidden states that anyone who signed a contract to get a credit card then he must be “prepared to pay interest, so he agreed to deal with interest / usury.” Fatwa Haram credit cards issued by Imam Khaled Abdul-Hamid Syed began when there was a young Muslim woman from the city of Ottawa who heard a Saudi television broadcast stating that the credit card of any nature is prohibited and haram, even though there is no interest from credit cards, so he wrote a question to the priest for the clarification. The young woman was asked “Did you tell me to throw my credit card? I only have one credit card for emergencies and when I travel … Can you give me some advice, what should I do … or whether there is dried using a credit card if you are experiencing an emergency situation? ” Imam Syed said in a mass email that he personally only allow debit cards, where the card owner does have money in savings. Cardholders can only spend a number of items in accordance with the amount of money which he kept, and no interest transactions that occurred

 Technology In Supporting Sustainable Food Security

Food is the most basic needs of a nation. Many examples of countries with sufficient economic resources but suffer from the damage due to an inability to meet food needs for its residents. History also shows that food is widely used strategy to control the enemy’s defense.

With the dependence of food, a nation will be difficult to escape from the clutches of invaders / the enemy. Thus, efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in meeting the needs of national food is not only viewed from the side of the economic costs and benefits alone but must be recognized as a fundamental part of national security that must be protected.

The population of Indonesia now reaches 216 million with growth rate 1.7% per year. This figure indicates the amount of food that should be available. Needs are great if not matched the increase in food production instead faced a problem of latent dangers of the rate of increase in domestic production continues to decline. Surely if nothing is done to increase food production will cause problems between need and availability with the gap widening.

Subsidies that technology becomes an important part of efforts to create a strong food security, should give priority to environmentally friendly technology productivity. The technology must have been shown to contribute significantly to increased productivity and proven not only to increase the productivity of food crops but also capable of conserving and environment-friendly production. Besides, the technology applied should be simple, easily understood and implemented so that farmers can be applied in the field as a whole and have a escort / assistance in the field to ensure its success.

As an example of biofertilizer technology Bio P 2000 Z is mixed from a collection of selected micro-organisms are superior useful indegenus conditioned in order to live harmoniously together in synergy with the commercial culture of micro-organisms and nutrients supplied and micro and macro nutrients that are useful for microbes and commodity culture. A collection of useful micro-organisms leading packaged in Bio Perforation biofertilizer consisting of decomposers (Hetrotrop, Putrefaksi), solvent and phosphate minerals, nitrogen fixation, Autotrop (photosynthesis) and microbial fermentation and microbial interface (such as mycorrhiza) that work in synergy and nutrients of organic materials simple, such as compounds of proteins / peptides, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, secondary compounds, enzymes and hormones; and macro nutrients: N, P, K, S, Ca, and others in combination with micro nutrients: such as Mg, Si, Fe, Mn, Zn, Mn, Mo, Cl, B, Cu, which all the elements mentioned above are processed through fermentation.

The best accounting approach leads you to the true costs of doing business, and includes costs that are indirect or hidden. Costs include materials and human resources, and cost-based accounting allows determination of both profit and risk of proposed endeavors so that managers can make the wisest decisions on courses of action.

Direct costs include things like raw materials and supplies. Indirect costs include costs that may be incurred due to workplace injuries or low productivity. In some cases, indirect costs can be minimized by actions such as implementing a workplace safety program or even something as simple as buying an ergonomic chair to cut down on repetitive strain injuries.

Basic cost-based accounting works well for small and mid-sized companies, and can be taken care of by a bookkeeping service or cost accountant. However, large companies often choose to use cost accounting software or to outsource their accounting altogether.

Today’s cost-based accounting not only takes into account the historical costs of doing business, but measures total cost of production by comparing fixed costs to the worth of the products or services produced during a given time period. By establishing the “standard cost” of a product, managers can more easily assess the profitability of any given time period.

Suppose a company produces 400 widgets a month, with monthly fixed costs of $100 per month. Every widget has overhead of $100/400 or $.25. If each widget has a variable cost of $2, then full standard cost for each widget is $2.25.

Cost-based accounting also analyzes the variation between actual costs and standard costs, allowing managers to make sense of differences in the bottom line and take appropriate actions when necessary to get costs back in line. When accountants and managers understand where all their production costs come from, they can more readily adapt to changes in labor or material costs.
