Thus, otherwise dubbed the “Age of Jackson”, the “Jacksonian Era” of between 1828 and 1848 (132) saw the American government pay more heed to the ideologies ...

It is from this point that an IRS letter should be obtained showing the tax treatment desired by the parties intending to carry out reorganization ( ...

Garry Orren makes a case in his paper “Beyond Self Interest” that people do not make decisions solely from the premise of self-interest but also from also as a result of other factors.

As such Orren’s argument is that “collectively held values- micro motives if you will- are the most powerful determinants of individual actions, or micro-behaviors”.

The book discusses leadership qualities and analyses what it means to be an effective leader. The book projects several leadership ideas to me, which provided a positive outlook for me, most of which I wasn’t aware of before. Distinguishing between leadership and management, Gardner notes that they often overlap. While managers at times exhibit leadership skills, leaders sometimes may require executing managerial functions.
