Storage Issue or People Issue

Whenever I watch home improvement television shows on channels like TLC, Discovery, and Home and Garden channel, the biggest dilemma is storage . Everybody on these shows wants more storage space. And it doesn’t matter how much existing storage space they currently have. They may have existing closets that are the size of a one bedroom apartment; they may a walk in kitchen pantry with enough space to park a SUV. But they still complain that they need more storage.

A few years ago, my wife and I moved from a home that had barley enough space for shoe storage . My kitchen was so small that it could only fit a college dorm refrigerator. The bedrooms had room for one suit and a sweater. The previous owner used a beautiful sunroom as an outdoor storage shed. We preferred beauty over clutter so we didn’t keep anything for storage. This was fine because we didn’t need much. Though our house was small, we loved it.

However, when we were looking for a new home, the top of our must have list was storage. And we wanted to make up for lost storage time. For a house to be considered an option, it had to have huge walk in closet storage, kitchen pantry storage, basement storage, and attic storage. We were tired of our cramped lifestyle. Our simple requests were not a problem. Every house built in the last decade was designed for the modern pact rat. It’s true that American’s are growing, but in more ways then waist size. Houses are growing at the same pace as our consumer needs grow.

The house we bought had plenty of storage ; actually, too much storage . We had so much storage space that some of it remained empty. But that was a few years ago. Somehow our possessions multiplied and we are getting closer and closer to using up all of our storage space. It’s running out faster than the world is running out of oil. Our kitchen pantry can’t hold all of our food storage; it is spilling into the garage. Our huge walk in closet has become my wife’s walk in closet. I have to use a guest room closet for my shoe storage and clothing storage. My car use to fit in the garage but now it sits in the driveway. I use to thing that our house was shrinking, but reality hit me that we just have too much stuff. When we first moved in we had rooms without furniture. Now furniture storage has taken over my workshop.

I use to watch these home improvement television shows and wonder how these people’s houses became so cluttered with junk storage. Didn’t they see it coming? Didn’t they ever look around their house and say I have enough stuff, I need to stop shopping? Didn’t they? No. They didn’t. I can speak for them because I am one of them. Lack of storage is not the problem. A person over consuming is the problem.

Traducciones

Alguna vez has leído algún anuncio o aviso en español que ha sido traducido del idioma Ingles, Me ha pasado muchas veces que he tenido que leer anuncios y pensar que es lo que tratan de decir por que estos han sido traducidos del idioma Ingles probablemente por personas que no hablan el idioma español, lo que hacen estas personas es usar los programas de traducción de Internet, pero estos programas traducen las palabras pero como en todos los idiomas una palabra puede tener muchos significados de acuerdo al contexto, hace unos leí un anuncio de una compañía de Storage que anunciaba acerca de Storage y camiones de mudanza y esta anunciaba “Locales y Unidireccionales” tuve que detenerme y pensar que es lo que trataban de decir, esto fue traducido del idioma Ingles “Local y one way” la traducción correcta seria para uso local y de una sola dirección o de una sola vía. Otra traducción que llamo mi atención fue la de una tienda de ropa en un mall donde ponían “Hale la puerta” en lugar de ’Jale la puerta”. En lo que se refiere al negocio de Storage hay muchas palabras que si las tratamos de traducir usando los traductores de Internet no tienen sentido, así que si lee algo en español que no tiene sentido para usted, no se preocupe que usted no es el único que va a estar confundido.

Leadership and its respective impact on organizational coherence and profitability are not as simple as they appear first. Though it is obvious that leadership personnel and style will have a significant impact, it is unclear as to what factors influence the leadership itself. Internal and external factors that influence organizational coherence also impact the leadership.

Essentially, management at virtually all levels carry the burden of leadership that is designed to guide the organizational members toward achieving the strategic vision of the institution. Hence, one has to assume that clear organizational strategic vision is the corner stone of enablement to achieve pre determine goals. 
Similarly talent acquisition and maintenance has its own place in this equation. Without properly educated, experienced and talented management personnel, the frontline employees may not be as effective and efficient. It is important to emphasize that there are certainly exceptions, yet it is generally accepted practice that organizational success and coherence is credited to effective and viable management.

Further, factors such as knowledge and knowledge management may be of significant impact. Even clearly talented, educated and experienced managers require further education to maintain their ability to be effective leaders. Hence, knowledge management procedures have to researched and implemented in a way that would benefit the management personnel.

Nevertheless, there are certainly factors that impact the leadership but are out of the control of organizational leaders. Such factors may include internal and external social and cultural factors, economic and market conditions, as well as external national or international competition. The impact of factors that are out of the control of stakeholders can negatively impact the outcome of management leadership.

Ultimately, organizational desire to employ most suited management personnel is simply another strategy to enhance effectiveness, efficiency and profitability. The most viable methodology to achieve the desired outcome will depend on many factors that may or may not be desirable or static. The dynamic nature of the business world certainly creates new challenges to management and stakeholders.
